Latest news and updates about the Celtics
The Atlanta Hawks returned home to State Farm Arena on Saturday night but did not return to winning ways as they suffered a 132-106 defeat to the Boston Celtics in their first meeting of four this season. Jaylen Brown ignited for 41 points, while Sam Hauser added 30 points. For the Hawks, Onyeka Okongwu scored […]
1. Ridiculous First Half Scoring Display The Boston Celtics went absolutely nuclear on the Atlanta Hawks, winning 132-106. Boston had an incredible scoring night, especially in the first half. They scored 82 points and 52 of those points came in the second quarter alone. Via Dick Lipe on X, that 52 point second quarter is […]
ATLANTA — In the background of a brilliant, overachieving Celtics season, Sam Hauser has quietly become a starter. The fifth-year Celtics veteran rarely makes the headlines. He’s not one of the team’s shiny young prospects, nor is he one of their established go-to guys. He hardly ever puts up crazy numbers — Hauser has only […]
Red Auerbach put together a phenomenal dynasty in Boston, starting in 1956 when he schemed and maneuvered to land Bill Russell. But Russell, as great as he was, couldn’t win titles on his own, and so Auerbach put pieces around him to keep his team winning. Bill Sharman and Bob Cousy were already there, but […]
In just 12 minutes, the Boston Celtics outscored their entire second half with a 52-point surge in the second quarter, soaring past the Atlanta Hawks and into the NBA’s record books on Saturday night. Jaylen Brown and Sam Hauser were the conductors behind a freight-train Boston offense, shooting 19 of 25 from the field and […]
ATLANTA — Payton Pritchard, who is dealing with ankle soreness, won’t lace up for the first time this season when the Celtics face the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. So, in his place, Baylor Scheierman will start for the third time this year, alongside Derrick White in the backcourt. Scheierman is averaging 2.7 points and 1.7 […]

Unlike last year, the Miami Heat have done a decent job closing teams out when they’re ahead. They have only blown five double-digit leads (T-8 fewest) and four fourth-quarter leads (T-2 fewest) this season. That wasn’t the case against the Boston Celtics. They blew a 15-point second-half lead, getting outscored 43-21 over the game’s final […] The post Erik Spoelstra says Heat rookie was one of team’s ‘bright spots’ in loss vs. Celtics appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Josh Minott, meanwhile, will miss his 7th consecutive game with […]

Alex, I’ll take Coaches Who Move Their Lips for $800. He said, ” It’s out of my hands. All I was told was four days ago, look for another general manager. They said to me, don’t ask any questions.” Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!! Seedy? Who is Rick Pitino? Correct. I’ll take Coaches Who Move Their Lips for $1000. […]
Good win for the Celtics, even though they started off terrible. Heat fans are always wanting to trade their whole team for some star or other. I'm surprised at how much they hate Spoelstra through. The Celtics are fortunate to have Brad and Joe. Heat fans hate so much on their own team. Picturing Payton Pritchard as a garden gnome cracked me up. I loved the loud cheers for the Celtics in the arena. I got to watch my only Celtics game live ...
With 20 days left until the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline, Boston Celtics guard Anfernee Simons continues to force a difficult discussion within the organization. The options are simple: either trade Simons and reduce the team’s luxury tax burden, or keep him and see how things play out. So far, it’s been the latter. Simons […]

Anfernee Simons scored a season high 39 points on 13-28 shooting from the field and 7-16 from three. Simons broke the Celtics record for the most […]
MIAMI — For a moment, it appeared the Celtics were entering the dreaded midseason slump. With five minutes left in the first quarter of Thursday’s game against the Miami Heat — and on the heels of back-to-back losses — they trailed by 19 points. That marked their largest first-quarter deficit in years. As he often […]
Despite the Miami Heat coming out scorching offensively, they were unable to take care of business against the visiting Boston Celtics. Miami saw an early 19-point lead, including a 64-54 edge by halftime, vanish in the second half— particularly in the fourth quarter. The Heat got throttled in that final period, as Boston had the […] The post Heat’s early 19-point lead wasn’t enough to close out the Celtics, lose 119-114 appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
