The offensive glass is going to be a big advantage for the Celtics
The Celtics finished 5th in offensive rebounding rate last year at 31.8%, according to Cleaning the Glass. That number plummeted to 30.4% and 11th in the league in the playoffs, which played a part in why the Celtics lost to the 76ers in Round 1. In their first preseason game on Thursday night, a 124-113 […]
The Celtics’ newest player excels in debut game against Cavaliers
CLEVELAND — It’s been an up-and-down couple of months for Celtics guard Devin Carter.

Suddenly, a guy who was the 14th overall pick in 2024 found […]

Question Marks: The first look at a new era with Celtics-Cavaliers
Celtics basketball, how we’ve missed you. It’s been a long, strange offseason, so it feels good to turn the page and learn about a new team and, maybe more fittingly, a new era. I love preseason because it’s the first real look at where the coaching staff’s heads are at, and who is standing out […]

Tony Dobbins will coach […]
10 things I’m looking forward to this Celtics season
There’s nothing quite like basketball season. Turning on the TV whenever we want and marveling as the best players in the world put on a show is a treat. Watching the Celtics play never gets old, and each season brings a new flavor. This year is particularly intriguing, for obvious reasons, as they enter a […]
Congratulations, sailor. You made it to Celtics preseason.
Aura. That’s the feeling I get in the crisp 60ish degree autumn air (at least according to my iPhone’s weather forecast as I write this). We’ve all finally made it. All of the trips to the “beach,” sweltering summer days, and Liberty Bibberty-filled Wild Card Series commercial breaks are in the rear view. The longest […]

How the Celtics’ roster is primed to beat an NBA’s point of emphasis
Heading into the 2026-2027 season, the NBA Competition Committee identified four areas of focus: off-arm push offs by offensive players, push-offs from screeners, hand-checking off-ball offensive players, and impeding straight line drives. There should be an increased freedom of movement for offenses coming from those points of emphasis which the Celtics have hinted at throughout […]

Jayson Tatum has new perspective at Celtics training camp

Is Anything Possible?—The Week in Green
There is a moment between seasons in sports, a springtime that occurs even in fall, when the previous season has been set firmly in the past and the upcoming season hasn’t started.

The Ultimate Student for Boston’s Shooting Development School
The Celtics have developed a reputation as one of the NBA’s best player-development organizations, and that has extended to improving the shooting of players who arrived with questions about their jumper. Over the years, Boston has helped several players very recently make significant strides from three, and the results speak for themselves. It’s safe to […]

The new-look Celtics are bonding, thanks to Mike Conley
BOSTON — Sundays have become a tad more consequential for members of the 2026-2027 Boston Celtics. That’s because most of the roster is participating in a fantasy football league; every week, each Celtics player’s fantasy team goes head-to-head against another’s, giving the already-competitive squad another reason to squabble at practice. “I just beat Neemi,” boasted […]
