Knight’s Value, Cherishing the Past, Plenty of Prospect Highlights, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

It’s been a pretty incredible week at the United Center. It started on Monday night with Jonathan Toews ‘ return and the incredible reception from Blackhawks fans. Last night, the Bulls beat the Celtics on a jumper with 0.2 seconds left and then put Derrick Rose’s number in the rafters . At some point later this season, the Blackhawks will host a ceremony to formally induct Duncan Keith and Steve Larmer into the team’s Hall of Fame. Who knows… maybe someday they’ll put 28 where it belongs in t...

Question Marks: Can Boston close the back-to-back against the Bulls?

The Celtics roll into Chicago looking to extend a winning rhythm, but the Bulls are in a groove as well. Boston had to dig deep last night, and they’ll have to again on the second half of a back-to-back. Fatigue may be a factor, but the Celtics have a key contributor returning. Here are three […]

Comments from the Other Side - Nets 1/23/26

 What a game!!  I always love when there are loud Celtics fans on the road.  Nets fans love PP, Hauser, and Hugo for the most part, except the one fan that wants to punch Payton. I love how they kept saying that Jaylen didn't do anything but yet he finished with a triple double.   It's funny how a lot of Celtics fans want to trade for Claxton when Nets fans really want to get rid of him.  After watching Amari Williams in this one,  I have to say that the Celt...

In this series, we’ll look at the biggest statistical shifts from last season to this one to understand how Celtics players have evolved — even while wearing the same jersey.

I’m struggling to understand how the Celtics beat the Nets

I am going to try my hardest to remain calm during this. To keep things relaxed, I’ll start with a simple list of things that happened during that Celtics win: Late substitution, choreographed Hugo Gonzalez game tying three with .4 seconds left in overtime… ok?

The Celtics have a superpower — and it was on full display against the Nets

BROOKLYN — Plenty went wrong down the stretch in the Celtics’ double-overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets. A 9-point lead with just over two minutes to go in regulation was squandered, with Brooklyn getting putback after putback as the deficit dissipated. The Celtics’ two primary bigs — Luka Garza and Neemias Queta — both fouled […]
