“The Name Game” — An inside look at trades that never were
In April, 2013, Micah Sharon, a Celtics fan from Connecticut and a high school student at the time, found himself at Rich Altman’s Hollywood Collectibles show at the Aleppo Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington, Massachusetts.

Enes Freedom is turning a serious conversation into a spectacle
There was a time when the most frustrating thing about Enes Kanter was watching him defend a pick-and-roll for the Celtics. Those days feel like an eternity ago. Back then, we’d spend our evenings debating whether Kanter had wandered six feet too far from the ball-handler again, or celebrating one of his approximately 47 offensive […]

Payton Pritchard beginning to bond with new Celtics teammates
STOUGHTON, Mass. — Payton Pritchard became the second longest-tenured Celtic this summer and projects to gain more offensive responsibility this season. However, he admits he lost ground in Boston’s golf hierarchy following a new arrival. “I would say Sam (Hauser) is probably first. Me and Mike Conley, we played a little bit in LA,” Pritchard […]

Jaylen Brown thrived as the undisputed alpha. Now, it’s Jayson Tatum’s turn
There’s a rather perplexing phenomenon when it comes to the way Celtics fans perceive Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Of course there are exceptions, but the majority of people I talk ball with believe the following are all true: 1) Jaylen Brown had a terrific season last year and took his game to the next […]

SB Nation Reacts: 80’s Celtics are kings of the court
As we celebrate History Month here at CelticsBlog, we just had to ask who would win a round robin of the Celtics greatest championship teams.

Mitchell Robinson’s Defense Deserves More Attention
When the Boston Celtics signed former Knick Mitchell Robinson to a three-year, $47.4 million deal this offseason, it didn’t take long for one part of his game to dominate the conversation: offensive rebounding.

What if Gordon Hayward stayed healthy in Boston?
Normally, entertaining a ‘What if?’ scenario is a fun exercise. You change one thing, start pulling on the thread and see how ridiculous you can make everything on the other end.

Why Doc Rivers’ Hall of Fame induction felt so important
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — The Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen feud felt so distant and settled that the announcement that they would introduce their 2008 championship head coach Doc Rivers at his Hall of Fame induction didn’t immediately stand out as significant. That’s until the visuals of them arriving, joining together and sitting in […]
