The Boston Celtics entered the 2023 NBA Playoffs largely believing that they would be playing the Miami Heat in their first-round series. Instead, the Atlanta Hawks upset them in their Play-In Tournament contest, and many folks believed Boston lucked out. Two games into their series, that has mostly been the case, but they also owe […]

Stephen A Smith was not going to let Shaq and Charles Barkley get away with the clowning he got from the two basketball legends Tuesday evening. The ESPN personality had his name dragged into a hilarious back-and-forth between Shaq and Chuck when he was compared by the Inside the NBA duo to Boston Celtics Derrick […]

Shaq and Charles Barkley are gifts that keep on giving, and they do it so effortlessly. Just take for example their supposed postgame breakdown of Game 2 for TNT between the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics that somehow turned into a mockery of Derrick White’s hairline. Oh, poor Derrick. “Is that Derrick White or […]

Home-court advantage is a valuable thing in the NBA playoffs, and the Boston Celtics have protected it with ease in the first round. The C’s downed the Hawks 119-106 to take a commanding 2-0 series lead before they head down to Atlanta for Game 3. Both wins for the Celtics have featured large leads that […]

Jayson Tatum balled out yet again on Tuesday night as he led the Boston Celtics to a comfortable 119-106 win over the Atlanta Hawks. The Celtics are now 2-0 against the Hawks and they head on over to Atlanta for Games 3 and 4 with a significant advantage over their opponents. Despite Tatum’s noteworthy performance, […]

Derrick White came up big for the Boston Celtics on Tuesday as they took down the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of their first-round NBA Playoffs showdown. The Celtics cruised to a 119-106 victory to take a 2-0 advantage in the series, and there’s no denying that White played a key role in the win. […]

The Boston Celtics have taken a 2-0 lead in their opening round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks. The Celtics had the best record in the Eastern Conference for much of the season until a late lull saw the Milwaukee Bucks overtake them. They have looked like the better team, however, and a favorite to […]

Boston Celtics fans are feeling themselves after the team’s 119-106 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of their NBA Playoffs first round series. While it’s exciting for Celtics fans that their team is now in the driver’s seat in the series, it was even better that the Hawks’ best player, Trae Young, was […]

The Boston Celtics opened up the 2023 NBA Playoffs with a bang, handling the Atlanta Hawks 112-99 in Game 1 of their first-round series. From the jump, the C’s looked ready to go. They came out firing and had a massive 74-44 lead at the half, which tied their largest postseason halftime lead in franchise […]

Playoff basketball is almost here, and the Boston Celtics will be taking on the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. While a lot of pundits were gearing up for a playoff rematch between Miami and Boston, Atlanta surprised the Heat in the Play-In Tournament and stole the No. 7 seed. With a 41-41 overall record, […]

After a string of disappointing losses, the Boston Celtics have responded with two of their best wins of the season. They closed up their six-game road trip with a resounding 132-109 victory over the Sacramento Kings, and then returned home to Boston to put together a commanding 120-95 victory over the Indiana Pacers. The common […]

If the Boston Celtics are to make a return to the NBA Finals this season, they will need a big contribution from point guard Derrick White to get there. In the event White and the Celtics come up short in their journey, it won’t be due to a lack of confidence, and why wouldn’t they […]

Every year, the NBA holds the draft. It’s a chance for various NBA teams to bolster their roster with the top basketball prospects around the world. As of late, we’ve seen international prospects come from professional leagues. On the other hand, 90% of the draft is still composed of players from the NCAA, particularly Division […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have been playing some uninspiring basketball as of late. Thus, it’s not too difficult to understand why, on Wednesday night, the Celtics had no time for such petty antics from Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert, who saw it fit to swing his feet recklessly towards the vicinity of Derrick […]

The Boston Celtics emerged from the All-Star break as the top team in the NBA, and a solid run out of the gate could have cemented their billing as the favorite to win a title this season. Instead, they are in the middle of their worst stretch of basketball of the season, as they have […]

Boston Celtics defensive ace Derrick White starred off the bench in Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He scored 18 points — on 7-for-9 shooting from the field and 2-for-3 from three — and dished out a pair of assists in 25 minutes of playing time. So when the Celtics visit Madison Square Garden on […]

Marcus Smart is finally expected to make his long-awaited return from injury on Wednesday when the Boston Celtics take on the Detroit Pistons. Despite this significant development, however, the C’s are still dealing with a myriad of injuries at the moment. This includes a rather bizarre injury for Derrick White, who is currently dealing with […]

The Boston Celtics, currently the best team in the league record-wise, are going through a fair bit of injury woes at the moment. In fact, they didn’t have the services of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Al Horford in their most recent loss against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night. And there may be […]

The Boston Celtics could be active in the coming days as the NBA trade deadline approaches. This team is still in possession of the best record in the entire NBA but it’s not surprising that they still want to strengthen their squad ahead of the second half of the campaign. There has also been a lot […]

The Boston Celtics have raced out to a flaming hot start in the 2022-23 season. Fresh off a disappointing loss in the 2022 NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors, the C’s have quickly proven that their sudden second half turnaround last year was no fluke, and that they mean business when it comes to […]

The Boston Celtics enjoyed a resurgent 2022 season. Following talk of a rebuild in December, the Celtics completely turned things around and went on to win the Eastern Conference. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum proved that they are one of the best star-studded duos in the NBA. Marcus Smart is an excellent third option. Al […]

The Boston Celtics reached their first NBA Finals in 12 seasons, only to fall to the Golden State Warriors in an entertaining six-game series. After a roller-coaster regular season, the Celtics ultimately fell two wins shy of raising the franchise’s 18th championship banner. With the 2021-22 NBA season officially in the books, it’s time to […]

The Boston Celtics orchestrated quite a historic 3-point shooting performance in the fourth quarter of their NBA Finals Game 1 win over the Golden State Warriors. From Draymond Green’s standpoint, he was not necessarily too concerned with Boston’s stout finish to the contest. Speaking after the Warriors’ home defeat to the Celtics, Green essentially downplayed […]

Derrick White has been the X-factor that the Boston Celtics have sorely needed in their run to the NBA Finals. He may have his down games, but he’s come up large during massive spots for the guys in green. D-White showcased that again in Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors, hitting three after back-breaking […]

The long-awaited 2022 NBA Finals tipped off Thursday night and lived up to the hype. The Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors faced off in a heavyweight matchup that was a contrast of styles. Things were going the Warriors’ way for most of the first three quarters. Boston was not effectively guarding Steph Curry and […]

The Boston Celtics previously held a 3-2 series advantage before the Miami Heat came back to win Game 6 with a 111-103 victory. With the series tied at three games apiece, both teams will be heading to a do-or-die Game 7 in Miami to determine who will go on to the NBA Finals from the […]

The Boston Celtics dominated the second half of their Game 5 victory over the Miami Heat to take a 3-2 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. Trailing by five at halftime, the Celtics outscored the Heat 32-16 in the third quarter. They led by as many as 23 in an eventual 93-80 win—a score […]

The Miami Heat started Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Finals series against the Boston Celtics on the right foot, running out to a 21-point lead after the first quarter. The Heat led by as many as 26 points in the second quarter before that lead was trimmed down to 15 at halftime, and the […]

The Boston Celtics were outplayed by the Miami Heat in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday, losing 118-107 in South Beach. But, it didn’t help that Marcus Smart and Al Horford both didn’t suit up. Smart will likely return for Game 2 after sustaining a foot injury, which is huge for the […]

The Boston Celtics will go to battle anew against the Miami Heat this Thursday night likely without at least three players, including Derrick White, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Boston Celtics say Derrick White is out tonight against the Miami Heat due to personal reasons. — Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) May 19, 2022 However, […]

The Boston Celtics knew they were in for a challenge when going up against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. Led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks are a difficult matchup for any opponent. The Celtics have done a fairly effective job defending the two-time MVP through the first two games. The Greek Freak has been held […]

The Boston Celtics had a slow start to the 2021-22 season, routinely blowing big leads and looking like they would possibly not even make the play-in tournament. The Celtics hit rock bottom on Jan. 6 when they choked away a massive lead against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden to drop to 18-21. […]

The Boston Celtics are making a run through the Eastern Conference, having been one of the hottest teams in basketball heading into the All-Star break.

The NBA is set to return from the All-Star break on Thursday night, as the second half of the season gets underway.

Before their shocking upset at the hands of the Detroit Pistons, the Boston Celtics were on the midst of their best stretch of the season winning nine consecutive games.

After enjoying one of the most successful runs in professional sports history behind the Big Three of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, the San Antonio Spurs have digressed to an average basketball team. Kawhi Leonard’s surge kept them competitive for a couple of years before he departed for the Toronto Raptors. Dejounte Murray […]

The Atlanta Hawks made no serious roster moves ahead of the NBA trade deadline. Fulfilling Cam Reddish’s trade request by shipping him off to the New York Knicks was the only trade they made. Despite having one of the worst defenses in the league and not having a highly reliable second option behind Trae Young, […]

The Boston sports community has always been pretty appreciative of their players. Derrick White, a new acquisition of the Celtics during the trade deadline, got to experience that first-hand. The ex-Spurs guard got a warm round of applause during his debut game against the Denver Nuggets. After the game, White talked about said warm welcome, […]

The Boston Celtics have improved significantly over the course of the season. Especially in the past few weeks, they have dominated more than just about any team, posting the best net rating in the NBA over their last 15 games.
