BOSTON — Jaylen Brown hasn’t had many off nights this season, but Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets was — for the most part — one of those nights. Impressively, Brown still managed to put up a more-than-respectful respectable stat line of 33 points (14-29 FG), 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. That, on its face, […]

BOSTON — Typically, the Boston Celtics play with more discipline than most teams in the league. But despite averaging the fewest turnovers, they failed to uphold those principles when face-to-face with the Nikola Jokić-less Denver Nuggets. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla admitted that the team’s effort against the Chicago Bulls 48 hours prior didn’t meet his […]

The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics are exceeding even the most optimistic expectations. This season was supposed to be a retooling year and a gap year when the Celtics would finally pick inside the top-20 in the NBA Draft, maybe even quietly put their thumb on the scale and stealth-tank their way into the lottery. In hindsight, […]

When we’re young and we do poorly on a math test, we start to believe that we’re “bad at math.” We beat ourselves up, wonder why we’re lagging compared to our peers and internalize comments that seem harmless to others but eat at us inside. As we get older, we go to a lower-level class, […]

Boston enters the matchup relatively healthy; they’ll only be without Jayson Tatum, who continues to recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon, and Josh Minott, who is out […]

I think by now most understand the dangers of the dreaded 2nd apron. However, I’ll sheepishly admit that I may have missed the differences between the 1st apron and the luxury tax lines.

This Boston Celtics team is a reminder that the NBA season is waves. Josh Minott opened the year as a consistent presence in the starting lineup, starting nine consecutive games, yet he hasn’t logged meaningful rotational minutes since December 12. Conversely, Luka Garza endured a 15-day stretch without seeing the floor, only to emerge as a key contributor in the rotation over […]

Heading into Saturday night, the Clippers and Celtics were 29th and 30th in pace at nearly 96 possessions per game. For LA, fewer possessions make sense for their older roster. With 36-year-old James Harden and 34-year-old Kawhi Leonard, all attempts to limit their wear-and-tear are surely welcome. Paradoxically for the Celtics, the slower “pace” is […]
