Celtics Littered Throughout 2026-27 NBA GM Survey
Every yea, all the NBA general managers are given 48 questions in an annual survey about their predictions on the new season. This year is a special occasion as it is the 25th anniversary of the survey. These questions range from best teams, players, coaches, offseason moves and more. The Celtics show up a good […]
Mazzulla’s group is ahead of schedule
Jumping the gun after three games can be a bit over the top, especially when those games are preseason exhibitions. But the Boston Celtics are earning every bit of the hype and anticipation surrounding them after a near-flawless three-game stretch entering the regular season — and that’s no exaggeration.

Neemias Queta threes might not just be a preseason experiment
It’s not uncommon to see Neemias Queta practicing threes out on the TD Garden parquet before Boston Celtics home games — though the average fan may be asking why he’s even working on that part of his game. The Portuguese big man has done the majority of his scoring in the NBA around the basket […]
Parquet Plays : Boston Debuts New Twin Tower Lineup
The Boston Celtics secured their third consecutive preseason victory last night, defeating the Charlotte Hornets by a commanding 113–94 margin.

My Dream of Mitchell Robinson on the Celtics is being fulfilled
When the Celtics first signed Mitchell Robinson back in July, it was met with a lot of excitement. He played an integral role with the New York Knicks as a rim protector for 8 seasons and even helped them win a championship in 2026. The part of the signing I was most excited about was […]

Payton Pritchard might be adding another dimension to his game
BOSTON — Payton Pritchard usually loves an open three. But to start the third quarter, he passed up a pretty open look for an even more open Baylor Scheierman three-pointer. Swish. It was one of dozens of times on Wednesday night when Pritchard made it a point to set up a teammate rather than look […]
Jordan Walsh is your fifth starter
At the start of training camp, Jordan Walsh told head coach Joe Mazzulla that he felt like a vet. After signing a three-year, $15 million extension this summer, you can’t blame the 22-year-old for feeling confidence with his place on the team. “I think that was the biggest mistake of the year so far,” Walsh […]

Payton Pritchard’s big contract is years in the making
BOSTON — Four years ago, Payton Pritchard wanted out of Boston. He had fallen out of the Celtics’ rotation and grew frustrated at his lack of playing time, eager to show what he was capable of as a pro. But despite wanting out, he wasn’t traded at that midseason deadline. And the rest is history. […]

What is Sam Hauser’s role?
The 2023, 2024 and 2025 drafts all saw the Celtics select wings with their top pick. In all three cases, they found contributing players in Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez.

Jayson Tatum and the Celtics are making irrational optimism feel rational
Through two preseason games, the 2026-2027 Celtics look like the 2020-2021 bull market. It didn’t matter what you bought — it was going to the moon.
