Jamal Murray and the Nuggets exposed Celtics defensive weaknesses

Boston’s loss against Denver wasn’t just about missed shots or late-game execution. It was, above all, a night where defensive choices, communication, and coverage discipline consistently put the Celtics in uncomfortable situations. Jamal Murray became the main stress test — and the Celtics never fully solved it. The Celtics started the game with Jaylen Brown […]

Neemias Queta’s rebounding shines in Celtics loss to Nuggets

On Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics faced off against the Denver Nuggets, a cross-conference battle between top teams.

Comments from the Other Side - Nuggets 1/7/26

 Not sure why the Celtics can play so good one night and then play so bad the next.  Is it focus or effort or what?  Nuggets fans were trashing their coach and Nnaji to start and then at the end both were the best.  I'm sure some of the trade Jokic comments were joking but I have to think some were really thinking it. they were talking about how they hate the way the Celtics play because they shoot so many 3's.  The Nuggets shot 6 more 3's than the Celtics.  Well,...

Jaylen Brown attributes Celtics struggles to 1 major factor

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown hasn’t had many off nights this season, but Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets was — for the most part — one of those nights. Impressively, Brown still managed to put up a more-than-respectful respectable stat line of 33 points (14-29 FG), 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. That, on its face, […]

Joe Mazzulla, Celtics unpack slip-up to Jokić-less Nuggets

BOSTON — Typically, the Boston Celtics play with more discipline than most teams in the league. But despite averaging the fewest turnovers, they failed to uphold those principles when face-to-face with the Nikola Jokić-less Denver Nuggets. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla admitted that the team’s effort against the Chicago Bulls 48 hours prior didn’t meet his […]

Why adding Trae Young makes sense for the Wizards

Pre-Gamin’: Bulls vs Pistons (6 PM CT) – Projected Lineups, How to Watch, More

Tonight, the Chicago Bulls will look to rebuild from a 115-101 Monday road loss to the Boston Celtics that, honestly, thanks to a late fourth quarter semi-push, wasn’t even as “close” as that final margin looks. Unfortunately, they’re trying to recover from a defeat against the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed with a tilt against… its No. 1 seed, the 27-9 Detroit Pistons. Detroit will seek to extend its two-game win streak at home, while Chicago is hoping to avoid a three-game skid. B...

It’s Time to Reset Expectations for the Boston Celtics

The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics are exceeding even the most optimistic expectations. This season was supposed to be a retooling year and a gap year when the Celtics would finally pick inside the top-20 in the NBA Draft, maybe even quietly put their thumb on the scale and stealth-tank their way into the lottery. In hindsight, […]

Anfernee Simons and Celtics found each other at the perfect time

When we’re young and we do poorly on a math test, we start to believe that we’re “bad at math.” We beat ourselves up, wonder why we’re lagging compared to our peers and internalize comments that seem harmless to others but eat at us inside. As we get older, we go to a lower-level class, […]

Comments from the Other Side - Bulls 1/5/26

Another good win for the Celtics.  I love that Queta is getting love instead of all the comments about how bad the Celtics center rotation is.  More fans that are trashing their own team and wants to trade them all.  Seems like Buzelis is the only player they like.  Celtics are lucky to have Joe Mazzulla and it seems most other fan bases know it.  Celtics are 2nd in the East.  Who would have thought it?  My favorites are in bold.  What are yours? &n...

Boston Celtics cap Q&A with former CelticsBlogger and Spotrac’s Keith Smith

I think by now most understand the dangers of the dreaded 2nd apron. However, I’ll sheepishly admit that I may have missed the differences between the 1st apron and the luxury tax lines. Can you help clarify and provide some context to why the Celtics might be motivated to further cut salary this year (or […]
