After the Boston Celtics’ recent loss to the Denver Nuggets, this year’s Celtics team no longer qualifies for Phil Jackson’s benchmark for true championship contenders.

It’s always good to beat LA. Always. And it’s always good to beat LeBron James. And it’s great that LeBron joined the Lakers in order to make victories all the sweeter. For me, I sometimes wonder what LeBron thinks of Boston in his heart of hearts. He’s far too savvy to say anything out loud […]
1. Dominant Shooting Display Coming off of Boston’s lowest scoring output of the season against the Denver Nuggets at only 84 points, the Celtics came back home to TD Garden and set a new season-high in points with 148 against the Brooklyn Nets. Boston did this with some historic shooting, going 52-78 (67%) from the […]
During Nikola Vučević’s Boston Celtics debut, both sides struggled. Three weeks ago marked the beginning of Vučević’s acclimation, and since then, his synergy has begun to take shape. It was a stark contrast on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Vučević’s offensive instincts kicked in, and decisively; he wasn’t hesitant. He was constantly in motion, […]

This topic is a little random, but I was somewhat inspired by various podcasts and articles that talk about players that aren’t what they used to be or haven’t lived up to our expectations. I don’t know if he’s the first to come up with this, but a common phrase that Keith Smith likes to […]
We’re back! Welcome to the Celtics’ Top-5 Highest IQ Plays of the Week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve.

It’s time for a meeting. All stakeholders of the Boston Celtics — the optimists, the skeptics, the doom-scrollers, the “I told you so’s, the ones who check box scores with breakfast — please take your seats. We’ve reached late February, meaning there’s a big enough sample size in front of us that it’s worth taking […]

As we breathlessly await the next trickle of information about Jayson Tatum’s eventual return to the court, it makes sense to discuss something that I’m sure the coaching staff has been thinking about for a long time. Who starts when Tatum returns? And what are the trickle down impacts of the rest of the rotation? […]
#1 – A second behind Sometimes in life, you feel like you’re a step behind. Nothing big, but yet, it creates a difference between where you should be and where you are, and this small difference has consequences. Well, that’s how it felt looking at the Celtics’ off-ball defense last night. This first bucket from […]
The Boston Celtics could’ve secured a four-game road trip sweep over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night, had it not been for their second-half tumble. Defensive lapses, a no-show from the reserve unit, and countless missed opportunities doomed the Cs. But instead of sulking in the aftermath, Jaylen Brown took a different, more constructive approach […]
The Boston Celtics traveled to Denver to face the Nuggets Wednesday night. Boston had been surging up the power rankings with a blistering month of February and faced off against the fourth placed Nuggets.
