The Odyssey: several extended road trips stand in the way of 50+ Celtics wins
How do you eat a whale? Well, in this case, the 82-game gauntlet of an NBA season. The old adage is to approach the NBA season game-by-game, but it’s always helpful to look at it in chunks, just like the team’s equipment manager might when planning road trips and homestands. In that spirit, let’s try […]
5 takeaways from the Celtics 2026-27 regular season schedule
To some, the NBA regular season schedule release isn’t very notable. Everyone plays everyone and we just find out when they play. However, I love it and wanted to give some takeaways to it. 1.

Remembering Don Nelson
In the mid 1980s, farmers throughout the U.S. were being squeezed between high interest rates on operating loans and low prices for commodities; lacking a sufficient government safety net, over 300,000 farmers defaulted on loans during this decade and even more farmers found themselves struggling to break even. Clarence Willcome was one such farmer. He […]
Optionality, winning now, and the crossroads the Celtics and Red Sox faced this summer
The Boston Celtics have had a puzzling offseason. By trading away Jaylen Brown, one of their franchise cornerstones, to a long-time conference and division rival in the Philadelphia 76ers, it appears they opened up a can of worms. In a vacuum, Brad Stevens helped to steer the team in the right direction with the latest […]

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were great teammates. Why wasn’t that enough?
Think about the best co-worker you’ve ever had. They made your job easier. You trusted them when things got hectic, knew they would do their part, and probably got better at your own job because they pushed you. You celebrated the big wins together and complained to each other when you-know-what hit the fan. Then […]
