Here’s how. The Celtics made Joel Embi...
BOSTON – Before the season began, Jayson Tatum scoffed at the notion that the Celtics were going to tank the season. “It’s the way our organization is ran,” Tatum told ESPN’s Malika Andrews. “It’s the culture that we set, it’s the standard that we have — regardless of who is on our team.” Six months […]
The East is so bad we might on the other side of the bracket… …that we’ll have an anticipated ECF matchup in the second round of the playoffs. Knicks vs. Celtics for an NBA Finals berth. You bet? Mike Brown On adjusting the offense around Brunson and Towns: “Obviously, trying to get KAT the ball […]
Celtics in five was probably the most commonly predicted outcome of this first-round series between Boston and Philadelphia. As the series returns to Beantown for the fifth game on Tuesday night, it’s certainly looking like that outcome will come to fruition after the Sixers laid another egg, this time on their home floor, in the […]
The Philadelphia 76ers’ 2025-26 season could be approaching its swan song, with the Boston Celtics just one win away from closing out the first-round playoff series and eliminating the Sixers. Though, to be fair, I think “swan songs” are supposed to be beautiful or brilliant. This feels quite far from that. The Sixers trail the […]
Attention to detail is one of Boston’s most overlooked strengths. There are plenty to choose from — volume three-point shooting, defensive connectivity, late-game composure. But it’s the precision and thoroughness of the minutiae that often sets them apart. Their preparation allows them to identify pressure points quickly, and then push on them until something breaks. […]
When the Celtics drilled an absurd 24 of their 53 3-point attempts during a blowout Game 4 win in Xfinity Mobile Arena Sunday night, I half expected the Twitter discourse to regain its steam. The Celtics are 3-point merchants! The Celtics don’t play fun basketball! Wrong, and wrong. On a night where Boston set a […]
A sequence late in the first quarter of Game 4 illuminated how far Celtics wing Jordan Walsh has come and how much further he can go. On one end, Walsh fought around a Joel Embiid screen and drew an offensive foul. On the other, he spaced the floor perfectly and drilled a 3-pointer with no […]
Eighty-one seconds into the fourth quarter of Game 4, Jayson Tatum dribbled passed midcourt and with the help of a Neemias Queta screen, walked into a three-pointer. Kelly Oubre walked into his landing space for an and-1. With that, the lead ballooned to 30 points and statistically, it was proof positive of Boston’s priorities this […]
After a remarkably bad showing from the officials in Sunday’s Game 4, punishments have been handed out… ….to the Lakers. Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard were handed fines of $35,000 and $25,000, respectively, for separate issues involving the officials. Smart’s fine came for “questioning the integrity of game officials,” while Kennard’s was “for directing inappropriate […]

It was always going to take a lot for the Sixers to pull off a first-round upset over the second-seeded Boston Celtics. They were going to have to make the rebounding battle look respectable, which they haven’t done. They were going to have to keep Boston’s role players in check, which they haven’t done. Their […]
Great win! I love Payton Pritchard!!! It was funny how before the game it was all how Embiid was the GOAT and would make the difference and get them a win. Then afterwards, they were wanting to trade him and he was slow and lost the game. Love how many Celtics fans were there. Sixers fans insulting the Celtics and calling them names and wishing injury on them is terrible. Hopefully the Celtics close this out in 5. My favorites are in bold. ...
Everything you need to know about Game 4 of the Sixers-Celtics series was encapsulated in a single Boston possession late in the first quarter. Jayson Tatum missed a three-pointer, and teammate Baylor Scheierman tracked down the offensive rebound. And well, OK, it happens. But then the ball found its way to the C’s Nikola Vucevic, […]
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum arrived at the free-throw line with 10:39 left in the fourth quarter in Sunday night’s Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers. There, his seventh foul shot gave the C’s a 30-point lead and sparked a tide-turn at Xfinity Mobile Arena. We want Boston! We want Boston! Celtics fans who made […]
In Monday’s Brotherhood Playoff Action, RJ Barrett and Brandon Ingram helped lead Toronto past Cleveland, 93-89. Mason Plumlee and San Antonio took care of Portland, 114-93. Jayson Tatum and Boston smacked Philadelphia around, 128-96. Finally, Luke Kennard and Los Angeles fell to Houston, 115-96. Ingram had 23 for Toronto, while Barrett finished with 18 points […]
PHILADELPHIA — Payton Pritchard is sitting at his locker, his ankles submerged in ice. “I need another win on the way home,” he says, grinning. Neemias Queta chuckles and shakes his head. Pritchard, after all, is just a few minutes removed from the best individual playoff game of his six-year NBA career, a 32-point, 5-assist […]
The Boston Celtics delivered a commanding 128–96 road victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, moving them just one win away from advancing to the second round. The Celtics received widespread contributions in this game, highlighted by the scoring heroics of Payton Pritchard. The Oregon product built on the clutch shots he hit in Game 3, pouring in 32 points […]
Payton Pritchard’s 32 points led the Boston Celtics to a dominant 128-96 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night despite Joel Embiid’s return from an appendectomy. The win gives the Celtics a commanding 3-1 lead as the series heads back to Boston for Game 5, when the C’s will have a chance to clinch […]
As we saw in Game 1, playing poorly while missing every shot possible is a bad combination. The Sixers got blown out again 128-96 by the Boston Celtics in Game 4 Sunday night, falling to a 3-1 series deficit. In his first game back since appendectomy surgery, Joel Embiid looked like the only Sixer ready […]
