Boston Celtics Daily Links (10/27/26) curates the latest buzz around Boston: Payton Pritchard erupts for 28 points in a 134‑99 rout of the Chicago Bulls, delivering a monster third quarter and prompting seven key takeaways. Meanwhile, rumors swirl as Jaylen Brown’s camp flatly denies trade demand claims, and coach Joe Mazzulla addresses injury updates ahead of a matchup with the Nets.

The Celtics deliver a 134-99 thrashing of the Chicago Bulls, sparked by Payton Pritchard’s 28‑point third‑quarter surge. While the win highlights Boston’s offensive firepower, the post‑game buzz centers on Jaylen Brown’s alleged trade demand—denied 10,000% by his camp and later walked back by broadcaster Brian Scalabrine. Coach Joe Mazzulla notes the health report ahead of a matchup with the Nets, and Jayson Tatum continues his strong stretch. The article compiles takeaways, player interviews, and the lingering Brown‑Tatum tension, giving fans a full picture of the blowout and off‑court drama.
With the Knicks sitting 0-3, point guard Jalen Brunson says his top priority is organizing the offense before Detroit heads to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. After posting 28 points against Orlando and 19 versus Boston, Brunson emphasizes clean screens and early decisions rather than forcing every shot. He stresses trusting teammates—Karl‑Anthony Towns has contributed 22 points in each of the last two games—as Detroit, now 3-0, will likely focus its defense on him. Injuries add intrigue: Jose Alvarado is out for New York and Pistons’ center Jalen Duren is sidelined. The upcoming clash tests Brunson’s leadership and the Knicks’ ability to tighten up their offensive flow.
The Boston Celtics host the Brooklyn Nets on Oct. 27 for Game 4 of their season series, marking the Celtics' third straight home game and the first of 16 back‑to‑back sets they’ll face. Boston (2‑1) leads the recent matchup history 3‑1 and holds a 148‑75 all‑time edge, while New York (0‑3) looks to integrate offseason additions like Julius Randle and Moritz Wagner. Projected starters feature Derrick White vs. Egor Demin, Jordan Walsh vs. Keon Ellis, Paul George vs. Michael Porter Jr., Jayson Tatum vs. Randle, and Mitchell Robinson vs. Day’Ron Sharpe. Celtics’ Devin Carter remains out with mononucleosis; White is a probable despite hip soreness.
Three games, two wins for the Boston Celtics. Now, it's time for their first back-to-back of the new campaign. They'll welcome the Brooklyn Nets to town on Tuesday night, just one day after beating the Chicago Bulls.
Unpacking the real story behind Jaylen Brown's departure from the Celtics, his contract demands, and the trade to the 76ers.
Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce claims he is "tapped out" financially after his Fox Sports contract ended in 2025, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The Hall of Famer faces a support‑payment lawsuit from his ex‑girlfriend Princess Santiago, who alleges he is hiding assets. Pierce says his last Fox payment arrived in August 2026 and reports only $23,000 in monthly income from business ventures, while citing $48,000 in monthly expenses, including $8,000 for childcare and $10,000 on entertainment. The dispute highlights the contrast between his $200 million NBA earnings and his current cash flow struggles.
Brian Scalabrine claimed Jaylen Brown gave the Celtics a list of demands and was rooting for Milwaukee. Brown's rep told ESPN it is "10000% a lie."

It praises Jalen Brunson’s effort, notes rookie Essengue’s availability, and warns that Tatum and George face foul trouble.

The Long Island Nets reveal a 17‑player training camp roster ahead of their 11th G League season, which kicks off Nov. 7 against the Greensboro Swarm.

Paul Pierce tells a court he’s “drowning” in obligations despite earning roughly $165,000 a month in 2026. Court papers reveal he pays $48,000 monthly in child and spousal support to at least two ex‑wives, and his latest ex, Princess Santiago, seeks an additional $40,000 in legal fees plus $10,000 for a forensic accountant, alleging he’s hiding assets. The former Celtics star lost an ESPN role in 2021 after a controversial party video, later resurfacing on BetMGM livestreams and joining Fox Sports 1 in March 2024 with a $1.5 million salary. The FS1 gig ended in July 2025, but side deals with a sportsbook keep his income high, fueling the dispute.
