BOSTON — Jaylen Brown has been fined $35,000 for his comments criticizing the officials after Saturday’s Celtics game against the San Antonio Spurs, the NBA announced on Monday. Brown ripped into the referees after the Celtics’ 100-95 loss to the Spurs. The Celtics star attempted 0 free throws in the game, and as a team, […]

It’s not a gap year for the Celtics and it’s not a gap year for us either. We’re looking for paid contributors in a couple of key areas: 1) daily coverage that includes game recaps, breaking news, etc., 2) the new CBA and salary cap structure, and 3) longform pieces that could include breaking down […]
Just a few weeks back, Anfernee Simons’ fit felt clunky. His efficiency was solid, but it hadn’t translated into consistently impactful minutes. Lately, he’s begun to settle into a clearer niche, and the Celtics’ offense is humming. The issue wasn’t Simons’ ability to score, but the process was off and in some ways his style […]
The Celtics are not the first team to guard San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama small, yet the mere concept is an experiment in star-stopping that is equal parts fascinating, and a little crazy. There is no right way to guard a 7-foot-4 three-level scorer, and if there was nobody has unraveled the mystery, but on Saturday […]
The Celtics could be without Jaylen Brown when they begin a four-game road trip against the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Brown is listed as doubtful to play due to low back spasm after playing 43 minutes — and the entire second half — in Saturday’s 100-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. If he […]

BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman only knows one way: to play with an edge. To blow kisses after made baskets. To talk trash. He just hasn’t always had the opportunity to show it. But, on Saturday, with the Celtics hosting the San Antonio Spurs in a primetime matchup between two of the NBA’s top teams, Scheierman […]
#1 – Can’t get to the line if you don’t attack the rim Let’s get the referee topic out of the way before we dig in. The Celtics’ low number of free throws last night, and overall this season, isn’t caused by a conspiracy against Boston. Free-throw volume is highly correlated with rim pressure. However, […]
BOSTON — San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was a 7-foot-4 problem the Boston Celtics couldn’t solve, no matter the adjustment. “He’s really good at what he does,” Derrick White admitted after Boston’s 100-95 loss. “Just the way he protects the paint and still can get out to the corner is special. You have to […]
With the two #2 seeds in their respective conferences on the parquet, TD Garden had a playoff feel with the Spurs taking the potential Finals preview 100-95 over the Celtics. In the first half, the Celtics played their brand of basketball: low turnovers with just 5, hot shooting from behind the arc (8-of-19) that included […]
BOSTON — The Celtics will be without Sam Hauser in Saturday night’s matchup against the San Antonio. Hauser was a late addition to the injury report, listed as out with right hamstring tightness. In addition to Hauser, Josh Minott is out with a right ankle sprain that’s held him out of the last three games, […]

BOSTON — The second-best teams in both of the NBA’s conferences will face off for the first time this season on Saturday night at 8pm. And to make things even more exciting, both the Celtics and Spurs enter the primetime matchup relatively healthy. Still, the Celtics will be without Josh Minott, who is dealing with […]
#1 – The best offense vs. the best defense since December 20th What a great way to promote a game from Sean Grande. Last night’s game was a duel between the Celtics’ offensive surge and the Raptors’ defensive wall. Unfortunately, Scottie Barnes’ injury made it harder for Toronto to remain elite on the defensive end, […]
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown knew a tweak was needed on Friday night. Two nights earlier, Brown claimed the Denver Nuggets “got away with a lot,” limiting his opportunities to get to the free-throw line. He attempted only three foul shots that night, coming 48 hours after he had only drawn two against the Chicago Bulls. […]
BOSTON — Payton Pritchard finished Friday’s Celtics win against the Toronto Raptors with an impressive statline: 27 points (12-19 FG), 8 assists — and just a single turnover. The scoring is noteworthy; Pritchard has had some quieter offensive nights this year, and he’s only tallied at least 27 points six times this season (whether ‘only’ […]
The Raptors came into the game winners of 3 in a row and 5 of 6 — they left Boston losers of 1 in a row. Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser and Derrick White all scored 18 points or more as Boston beat Toronto, 125-117. Josh Minott once again joined Jayson Tatum on the […]

How will Boston respond after a disappointing loss? The Celtics were riding high after a strong December and wins in their first three games of 2026. That momentum came to an abrupt halt Wednesday night with a 114-110 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Losing to one of the Western Conference’s top teams is usually not […]
Boston wasn’t supposed to look like this. They weren’t supposed to be this good. With Jayson Tatum in and out of the lineup and all the summer departures, the Celtics entered the season with more questions than answers. Shot creation dipped, continuity vanished, and the margin for error shrank. Yet, night after night, Boston has […]
