Neemias Queta embodied the Celtics’ season while speaking in the locker room following their Game 7 loss earlier this month. He showed so much promise and growth until it stalled against the Sixers. Foul trouble left him off the floor for most of the series, again raising questions of Boston’s front court despite a 56-win […]
With the Celtics sitting at home during these conference finals, they’re so many degrees removed from winning the title. There’s the fact that they got bounced by the 76ers in the first round and that Philadelphia team then got swept by the New York Knicks (who eliminated Boston last year) who might just sweep the […]
Herald Celtics’ Derrick White lands spot on All-Defensive first team Globe Derrick White named to first-career NBA All-Defensive First Team Mavericks’ firing of Jason Kidd part of their vision of building for future Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, bench propel Thunder past Spurs after historic slow start for 2-1 series lead CelticsBlog CelticsBlog exit interview: Baylor Scheierman and […]
The very first article I wrote for CelticsBlog was titled, “Is Baylor Scheierman a viable starter for the Celtics?” I started that article with a confession: I wasn’t a Baylor believer at the beginning of the season. That was probably too simple of a take. Looking back, I don’t think I disbelieved in him as […]
Derrick White is officially a member of the All-Defensive first team for the first time in his career. The Celtics guard, who made the second team in 2022-23 and 2023-24, joined Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren, Ausar Thompson and Rudy Gobert on this year’s top squad. He received 58 first-team votes and 30 second-team votes, edging […]
Herald Celtics trade targets: Six potential fits, including Giannis Antetokounmpo Globe Kevin McHale questions Celtics’ 3-point heavy approach: ‘The ball has got to touch the paint’ Josh Hart scores 26 and the Knicks move two wins from the NBA Finals with a Game 2 victory over the Cavaliers CelticsBlog CelticsBlog exit interview: Sam Hauser has […]
For the first time since he was a sophomore in high school, Sam Hauser finished a season of basketball shooting under 40% from three. At 39.3%, we’re just shy of being able to morally round up, and thus a brilliant streak of shotmaking has come to an end. Unfortunately, a close to his Celtics tenure […]

The 2025-26 season had a lot of surprises for Boston Celtics fans. Jaylen Brown’s ascension to a top-10 player over the regular season. Neemias Queta’s explosive growth into a serviceable starting center. The Stay Ready crew’s energy and impact. Sadly, a disappointing first-round playoff exit. However, one of the biggest surprises was the disappearance of […]

According to Hoopshype’s draft workout tracker, Boston has either already hosted or is set to host the following prospects for workouts in the coming days. After providing a detailed breakdown of Boston’s first three scheduled pre-draft workouts, […]
One of my favorite Uncle Remus stories—in part because it’s one with a lesson I’ve too often failed to apply—is the story of Br’er Rabbit and the tar baby. You see, Br’er Fox wants to catch Br’er Rabbit, and to do so, he makes this doll out of tar and turpentine, and puts some clothes […]
For most of the last two years, Payton Pritchard’s contract has been one of the easiest things on the Celtics’ books to celebrate. A four-year, $30 million deal signed in October 2023 for a guard who can shoot, handle the ball, push pace, scrap in the paint, bomb away from the logo and swing games […]
Math is hard. NBA math can be absolutely mind-dumbing even for “smart” people who write about the team. So when the cap experts talk, I like to listen. I was watching old friend Keith Smith discuss the Celtics options on the Celtics Beat podcast and keyed in on some of the things he mentioned about […]
Don’t waste youth with the young. There’s a natural reaction in the playoffs to shorten your rotation — you want to play your best players the most when it matters most. Mazzulla started trimming his lineups towards the end of the regular season from 10ish to 8ish in anticipation of the postseason. But not until […]

Smith fires back at Jaylen Brown: ‘Be careful what you wish for’ Globe The Celtics need to take a big swing this offseason, maybe even something Giannis-sized Celtics fans voted NBA’s ‘most obnoxious’ in anonymous player poll Shams Charania expects Celtics’ […]
Evolution is inevitable in just about everything, and sports are no exception. Sometimes you’ll get a Stephen Curry or a Victor Wembanyama, and it’s great. Other times, you’ll get a three-team format in the NBA All-Star Game that nobody understands, cares to understand, or has the tolerance to watch from start to finish while getting […]
When Jayson Tatum returned to TD Garden 298 days after rupturing his achilles tendon, the unprecedented return generated one of the loudest moments you’ll ever hear from the Garden faithful. A putback dunk, a corner three, and a crowd just waiting to go berserk. It was a defining moment to an already illustrious career: a […]

Jaylen Brown is skeptical about the NBA’s Social Justice Champion award, challenging the idea of honoring players for what he considers a basic responsibility. Brown, the NBPA Executive Committee’s Vice President since 2019, sees paying it forward as a moral obligation rather than a commendable chore. Each season, the NBA selects five players nominated for […]
Going into the 2025-26 NBA season, there were a ton of people saying that it was a gap year for the Boston Celtics. Luke Kornet, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, and Kristaps Porzingis all left the team in the offseason and Jayson Tatum was expected to miss most of the season with a torn Achilles. This […]
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown is losing his patience with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. On Sunday night, Brown took to his FCHWPO Twitch channel to address Smith directly over comments the $100 million talking head made about Brown’s post-Game 7 livestream. And it only took three words to get a feel for where Brown’s response […]
