Celtics had Pistons on the ropes. Then, they blew it: ‘We gotta do better’
For more than five of the last eight minutes, the Boston Celtics were held scoreless. Jayson Tatum tried to stop the bleeding with a layup off the glass, but missed and fell to the floor. On the other end, the Detroit Pistons rushed five-on-four, as former teammate Javonte Green drained a wide-open 3-pointer. Tatum, unable […]
It’s not so #DifferentHere after all without Jaylen Brown
Paul George’s heat check three with 8:32 to play in the third quarter of Tuesday’s season opener marked his third straight triple. More importantly, it gave the Celtics a commanding 72-50 lead over the Pistons in what was shaping up to be a tone-setting victory. Then… then it got worse. Detroit closed the game on […]
Jayson Tatum’s season debut was far from pristine, but there’s no reason to panic
Before Tuesday’s season-opening matchup with the Pistons, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla told reporters that he doesn’t believe we have seen the best version of Jayson Tatum yet. Well, after a dreadful 6-for-23 shooting performance in a 121-113 loss, we still haven’t seen the best version of Tatum. But we did see a glimpse into what […]
Celtics collapse, lose season opener to Pistons 121-113
The Celtics led the Pistons by 22 in the 2nd half. Then the game flipped as the Celtics, very much like they did in the first round last year, collapsed and lost to the Pistons, 121-113. It was a struggle for Jayson Tatum who had just 13 points on 6/23 from the field. Meanwhile, Cade […]
Celtics announce starting lineup before opening game against Pistons
DETROIT — The Celtics will start Derrick White, Jordan Walsh, Jayson Tatum, Paul George, and Mitchell Robinson in their Opening Day game against the Detroit Pistons. In the Celtics’ two full-strength preseason games, Joe Mazzulla started the same five-person squad. The team went 4-0 in the preseason and finished first in net rating, defensive rating, […]

What defines success for this year’s Celtics?
BOSTON — When the Celtics rotated their bench into the game against the 76ers in the preseason, Jayson Tatum stayed on the TD Garden parquet joined by Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard and Neemias Queta — a lineup that could easily stand as Boston’s starters. While the regular rotation players sat out the preseason […]

Devin Carter diagnosed with mono after signing two-way deal
The Celtics officially converted Devin Carter to a two-way deal. While the team is excited that Carter is sticking around, he won’t be suiting up for a little while. Carter has mononucleosis, according to multiple reports Sunday. That explains the illness that has kept him out since the preseason opener. There’s no firm timeline for […]
Payton Pritchard doesn’t care about starting
Payton Pritchard has been a starter and a sixth man. Overlooked and then underpaid. Scouted as too small, then played a big part on a championship team. Now, he’s gone from making about $8 million a year to signing a two-year, $44.2 million extension. Through all of it, he says the starting label matters a […]

Celtics make final call on Devin Carter after just one appearance
Devin Carter’s lone preseason appearance was enough to impress the Celtics, apparently. According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, Carter’s Exhibit 10 training camp deal is being converted to a two-way contract.

Hugo González puts cherry on top of growth-filled preseason
The past three months have been all about preparation for Hugo González.

In Las Vegas, he joined the Boston Celtics and began to impress, leading the team in scoring (18.3 points) throughout […]
SB Nation Reacts: #2 Option P?
The Celtics are deep. Really deep. Heading into Opening Night, there’s a possibility that Mike Conley who started fifteen games last year in Minnesota may not even see the floor. Ron Harper Jr. signed a three-year contract over the summer and he might be the odd man out. Fifteen points and six rebounds a night […]
