In 1987, Detroit was building what would soon become a championship team. With a backcourt of Isaiah Thomas and Joe Dumars, Rick Mahorn, second-year player Dennis Rodman, Bill Laimbeer, Vinnie Johnson, and John Salley, the core was set. And they had Boston in a nice spot in the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals. The Pistons had […]
For the first time since he was a sophomore in high school, Sam Hauser finished a season of basketball shooting under 40% from three. At 39.3%, we’re just shy of being able to morally round up, and thus a brilliant streak of shotmaking has come to an end. Unfortunately, a close to his Celtics tenure […]

The 2025-26 season had a lot of surprises for Boston Celtics fans. Jaylen Brown’s ascension to a top-10 player over the regular season. Neemias Queta’s explosive growth into a serviceable starting center. The Stay Ready crew’s energy and impact. Sadly, a disappointing first-round playoff exit. However, one of the biggest surprises was the disappearance of […]
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been left out of Germany’s squad for World Cup 2026 which has been announced by manager Julian Nagelsmann.

One of my favorite Uncle Remus stories—in part because it’s one with a lesson I’ve too often failed to apply—is the story of Br’er Rabbit and the tar baby. You see, Br’er Fox wants to catch Br’er Rabbit, and to do so, he makes this doll out of tar and turpentine, and puts some clothes […]
For most of the last two years, Payton Pritchard’s contract has been one of the easiest things on the Celtics’ books to celebrate. A four-year, $30 million deal signed in October 2023 for a guard who can shoot, handle the ball, push pace, scrap in the paint, bomb away from the logo and swing games […]
Math is hard. NBA math can be absolutely mind-dumbing even for “smart” people who write about the team. So when the cap experts talk, I like to listen. I was watching old friend Keith Smith discuss the Celtics options on the Celtics Beat podcast and keyed in on some of the things he mentioned about […]
Don’t waste youth with the young. There’s a natural reaction in the playoffs to shorten your rotation — you want to play your best players the most when it matters most.

Evolution is inevitable in just about everything, and sports are no exception. Sometimes you’ll get a Stephen Curry or a Victor Wembanyama, and it’s great. Other times, you’ll get a three-team format in the NBA All-Star Game that nobody understands, cares to understand, or has the tolerance to watch from start to finish while getting […]

Each season, the NBA selects five players nominated for […]
