Comments from the Other Side - Pacers 12/26/25

Good game.  It's really puzzling how bad the Pacers are this year.  I guess it just shows how good Brad and Joe are that the Celtics lost way more than the Pacers and yet are competing.  I just love Bill Kennedy on the mike!  The comments about wanting Bill Kennedy to announce at the Pearly Gates cracked me up.  It's funny watching Scal and Drew cheering for a challenge so Kennedy will announce it.   The comment about why there were more Celtics fans at the g...

‘He should be in the MVP conversation’: Jaylen Brown’s growth as a Celtics leader is accelerating

For much of his career, Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown has faced underappreciation while sharing the floor with co-star Jayson Tatum. This season, however, that isn’t the case. Brown’s maturation in the driver’s seat has been Boston’s greatest gift this holiday season. He’s checked off all the boxes — particularly throughout December — leading the […]

Luka Garza never felt far from return to Celtics rotation

Luka Garza recently tapped into an old routine he leaned on at the University of Iowa to persist through a six-game stretch of bad games in his sophomore year. He found himself riding highs-and-lows then, playing some of his best basketball then crashing into his worst. He began journaling through the following offseasons — and […]

Heat should consider this route if struggles continue toward deadline

After an encouraging 14-7 start during arguably the toughest part of their schedule, the Miami Heat have hit a roadblock. They are losers of eight of their last nine, despite encouraging performances from Kel’el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis (versus Celtics) and Jaime Jaquez Jr., among others, over that span. Teams begin to separate themselves after 25-30 […] The post Heat should consider this route if struggles continue toward deadline appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

The Celtics didn’t play on Christmas Day – but they still made their mark 

BOSTON – For the first time since 2015, the Celtics didn’t get a Christmas Day game. In hindsight, that was an undeniable mistake – even without Jayson Tatum, they hold the Eastern Conference’s third-best record and the NBA’s sixth-best net rating, powered by an MVP-caliber season from Jaylen Brown.  But the scheduling oversight didn’t prevent […]

A casual fan’s guide to catching up with the Celtics at Christmas

I have a confession: I’m a casual fan. No, not of the Celtics, silly. I think 20 years of coverage qualifies me for “die-hard” status, but that’s just me. No, I’m a casual fan of the Bruins, Red Sox, and Patriots. It has been decades since I watched a Bruins game all the way through. […]

Unwrapping a gift from each member of the Celtics

As I watched the Celtics erase a 20-point deficit to outlast the Pacers 103-95 on Monday, I found myself constantly coming back to one central thought: Luka Garza sets one heck of a screen. I typically gravitate toward guards and find myself studying the tendencies of shooters rather than post players, but there’s something about […]

Roman Anthony, man about town

Roman Anthony was recently spotted at a Celtics game, which is awesome. It’s always fun to see Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins players show up at Fenway on Opening Day, especially after a World Series.
