SAN FRANCISCO — Kristaps Porziņģis never imagined it would play out like this.

The Celtics are signing Dalano Banton and John Tonje to Ten-Day contracts, upping their total number of rostered players to 14. And, if both of those names sound familiar, it’s because they are. John Tonje was recently added to the Celtics’ roster on a two-way contract with Boston after being acquired ahead of the trade […]
The Celtics impressive regular season has been a revelation. I think it is safe to say that a lot of people have earned an extra level of respect this season, starting with Jaylen Brown, Joe Mazzulla, and even Brad Stevens. All of that is wonderful, but this season will largely be remembered by what happens […]
It was a first half to remember for the Celtics, as they exceeded expectations en route to a 35-19 record and the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

SAN FRANCISCO — When the Celtics face the Warriors on Thursday, Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis could both face the Celtics for the very first time since their respective tenures in Boston ended last summer.

Cheers to commentor 1130PAR for suggesting this topic. Keep ‘em coming!

Back in October, before this NBA season began, did you perhaps open up a sports betting app on your phone and wager on how many wins the Boston Celtics would achieve? Did you say they would win at least 48? Maybe 50? More than 50? If so, then the odds are good that you’re about […]

For what it is worth, Jayson Tatum has yet to make any announcement about his return to the court this season. He has not ruled out the possibility that he could miss the entire season. That makes sense because any number of setbacks could move his timeline back in an abundance of caution. However, all […]
Derrick White is testing the validity of the old NBA adage that it is a “make or miss league.” Despite enduring a career-worst scoring efficiency season, he is still grading out as one of the league’s most impactful players.
