Joe Mazzulla captures ‘stupid’ Coach of the Year award after 56-win Celtics season
Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla once called the NBA’s Coach of the Year award “stupid.” On Tuesday night, he became the organization’s first recipient in 46 years. “Don’t need it,” Mazzulla told reporters in March. “I think it’s a stupid award. They shouldn’t have it. And it’s more about the players. It’s more about […]

CelticsBlog exit interview: Luka Garza exceeded expectations, but not significantly enough
The Boston Celtics took a chance on Luka Garza after he spent most of his career on the bench for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Boston had a serious lack of depth at the center position with a tight budget and a mostly uninspiring free agent pool to pull from. Garza was still unproven at the NBA […]

The Celtics are closer to contention than you think—The Week in Green
The Celtics, we are reminded, were 3-11 against the best teams in the league during the past season. This is, at first glance, a problematic record for a franchise that won 56 games who many considered to be a contender. It suggests that the team has an obvious problem in need of a fix. It […]
Remembering the Celtics trips to the Eastern Conference Finals
The Eastern and Western Conference Finals are in full swing and for the 2nd straight season, the Celtics are not participating. That is the first time that has happened in consecutive seasons since 2015 and 2016.

Celtics’ Jaylen Brown ‘grateful’ after discovering All-NBA Second Team nod
Jaylen Brown’s first run as the Boston Celtics star earned its flowers on Sunday night. The names of those voted to the league’s All-NBA first, second, and third teams were unveiled, just as Brown began unpacking another handful of topics during his latest livestream. Brown’s audience got a live reaction from the five-time All-Star, who […]

CelticsBlog exit interview: Neemias Queta proved himself for Celtics before questions returned into playoffs
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 […]
For the Celtics, beating the Thunder and Spurs should be priority #1
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 […]

CelticsBlog exit interview: Baylor Scheierman and the art of being useful
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 […]
Celtics guard Derrick White earns All-Defensive first-team honors
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 […]

CelticsBlog exit interview: Sam Hauser has maxed out his role
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 […]

CelticsBlog exit interview: Derrick White’s shooting drop off sparks big questions
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 […]

The Boston Celtics have wasted no time ramping up their pre-draft process, scheduling three additional workouts with potential draft candidates. 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, […]
Jaylen Brown drops the mic—The Week in Green
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 […]
CelticsBlog exit interview: Payton Pritchard, Boston’s best bargain, is about to force a big decision
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 […]
Three possible paths for Brad Stevens and the Celtics this offseason
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 […]
What I’ve learned so far from the 2026 NBA Playoffs
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 […]

Jaylen Brown’s gripe with ‘clickbait’ speaks to a larger crisis in sports media
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 […]
