Paul Pierce won’t stop advocating for Jaylen Brown and the Celtics

So, when the 10-time NBA All-Star and Celtics champion took the parquet for a three-point competition on Sunday afternoon, it felt just like the good ol’ days. Pierce competed in the Celtics’ first annual Causeway Classic three-point shooting competition, going up against former […]

We’re back, and so is Jayson Tatum! Welcome to the Celtics’ Top-5 Highest IQ Plays of the Week!  Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve.

Vucevic is expected to be re-evaluated in the next 1-2 weeks as he continues to recover. Jaylen Brown is probable to play as he deals with a left quad contusion. The rest […]

Seven Games In: A Jayson Tatum Progress Report

The Jayson Tatum return has been riveting. Every shot attempt, rebound, pass, and even high-five over these first seven games has been scrutinized. The overall early returns on the Tatum comeback have been sensational; however, his performance against the Memphis Grizzlies is a good reminder that he still has a way to go before he […]

Clutch Opportunities—The Week in Green

The Celtics went 4-0 since my last column, notching a solid win over the Warriors, and some uneven performances against the Wizards, Suns, and Grizzlies. The negative way of looking at this is that the C’s really shouldn’t have struggled against the Grizzlies (24-45), and probably shouldn’t have had such a hard time with the […]

Comments from the Other Side - Grizzlies 3/20/26

  This one had me worried for much of the game.  The Celtics were sleep walking for much of it.  Not hitting shots and not giving normal effort on defense.  Glad they finally woke up in the 4th. There weren't a lot of Grizzlies fans chatting in the forums for this one.  Seems like most have given up on the season.   I always love it when there are a lot of Celtics fans in away arenas.  Funny how some fans loved the halftime show and others thought it cri...

10 Takeaways from the Celtics Grit & Grind Win Over Grizzlies

1. Escaped the Trap Game Coming into this game, the Memphis Grizzlies had 10 players listed as OUT on the injury report and were running out guys on two-way deals and 10-day contracts against a mostly healthy Boston Celtics team only missing Nikola Vucevic. This has the recipe for a gold old fashioned Trap Game […]

Celtics stave off undermanned Grizzlies in 117-112 win

The Celtics started their usuals with only Nikola Vucevic missing the game. Joe Mazzulla put Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, Jayson […]

Javon Freeman-Liberty’s 17 points, seven Nets in double figures not enough

The Long Island Nets returned to their home court of the Nassau Coliseum to face off with the Maine Celtics for their big “Nothin’ But Nets” night, honoring their affiliation with the Brooklyn Nets. There was no Brooklyn presence outside of the Brooklynettes and Team Hype and even with Javon Freeman-Liberty’s impressive showing, Terry Roberts […]

Anthony Davis sidelined through March with finger sprain

Washington Wizards center Anthony Davis will be sidelined through the end of the month with a finger sprain, the team announced Friday. Davis hasn’t played since early January when he suffered ligament damage in his left hand. The 32-year-old forward opted against surgery before he was later traded to the Wizards for a package that […]

What changed for Jordan Walsh in the Celtics’ rotation

Jordan Walsh’s season has already had two distinct phases. Back in mid-November, he stepped into the starting lineup and stayed there for the next 20 games. The Celtics went 15–5 during that stretch, and his role made sense within what Boston needed at the time. He defended across positions, ran the floor, and kept the […]

Celtics, Grizzlies injury reports show one team will be extremely depleted
