What is your favorite “Beat LA” moment? (daily topic)
The Boston Celtics face the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday (2/22 at 6:30 PM on NBC/Peacock) and it will be just another matchup between the sport’s greatest rivals. So I thought I’d take a moment to take a trip down memory lane and talk about the past. What was your favorite memory? It is hard […]
10 takeaways from Boston dissecting Warriors pressure
#1 – Jaylen Brown driving the Celtics offense With almost 19 drives per game, Brown is the second most prolific driver in the NBA this season – and last night might have been one of his most impressive games in the paint. As the mid-ranges and 3-pointers wouldn’t fall, JB shifted his approach toward the […]
Celtics enjoyed crossing paths with Kristaps Porziņģis in “fun” win over Warriors
It had been 279 days since Kristaps Porziņģis last shared the floor with the Celtics, as either a teammate or an opponent. The final farewell was bitter. Porziņģis last suited up alongside his former Boston teammates in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. A lingering illness that […]
I attended Jaylen Brown’s Beverly Hills event that was shut down by the cops — and here’s what we know
SAN FRANCISCO — Last Saturday, Jaylen Brown hosted an event at a Beverly Hills mansion that was unexpectedly shut down by police amid NBA All-Star Weekend festivities. As one of a handful of Celtics reporters covering All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, I attended the event, which was an activation for Brown’s 741 Performance line. Almost […]

Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis looking forward to facing former Celtics team
SAN FRANCISCO — Kristaps Porziņģis never imagined it would play out like this. But between Al Horford’s departure to Golden State over the summer, Porziņģis’ health issues in Atlanta, his ensuing trade to the Warriors and the late scheduling of the first Celtics game against Golden State on Feb. 19 — Horford and Porziņģis’ first […]

The Celtics just signed two new players, and here’s why
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 […]
What should the playoff rotation be assuming Jayson Tatum is back? (daily discussion)
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 […]
10 storylines to follow in the second half of the season
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. While it was certainly a strong start, what happens the rest of the way will ultimately dictate how this season is remembered. With that in mind, […]
Former Celtics guard is returning to Boston
The Celtics have signed Dalano Banton to a ten-day contract, HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto first reported. Banton returns to Boston after spending most of the past two years with the Portland Trail Blazers. He was initially on the Celtics team that won the NBA title in 2024, but he was traded to Portland ahead of the […]
Previewing the Celtics four game west coast swing
The Celtics have a treat coming out of All-Star break: a four-game west coast swing that includes games at the Warriors, Lakers, Suns and Nuggets and a back-to-back. Boston is set to face four teams that if the playoffs started today, would all be participating. They all present different issues. The Warriors will be without […]
Jayson Tatum is the difference maker the Celtics need
It certainly seems like Jayson Tatum is going to play basketball for the Boston Celtics at some point this season. There has been no date set yet for a return and Tatum has not said he is going to play this season. Yet, all the signs point to a Tatum return and it could be […]
Former Celtics champion’s injury status in question in Warriors game
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.

What are your thoughts on the NBC Sports Boston crew? (daily topic)
Cheers to commentor 1130PAR for suggesting this topic. Keep ‘em coming! We Celtics fanatics consume a ridiculous volume of Boston Celtics content and the large majority of the game coverage is fed to us by NBC Sports Boston as the Regional Sports Network for the team. So much so that they become like part of […]
Mea culpa: I severely underestimated these Celtics
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 […]

Just three games with the Celtics and Nikola Vučević is making some noise
Nikola Vučević has played three games with Boston and, so far, he’s been exactly as advertised. The Montenegrin big man is averaging 13.7 points and 9.7 rebounds while shooting 48.5% from the floor and better than 41% from three. As a proven veteran, you generally know what you’re getting from Vučević — steady scoring, strong […]

When do you think Jayson Tatum is going to make his season debut? (daily topic)
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 doesn’t need to make shots to be elite
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. This should not be possible. Even in the analytics era, we should still be able to […]
Jaylen Brown loves these Celtics — and he’ll shout it from the rooftops
LOS ANGELES — Last week, Jaylen Brown shared an Instagram story that highlighted the Celtics’ record this year compared to last year. The graphic, created by NBC Sports Boston, compared the 2024-2025 Celtics’ and the 2025-2026 Celtics’ record, net, offensive, and defensive ratings at the All-Star break, ultimately demonstrating how, remarkably, both teams’ on-court success […]
