We’re back! Welcome to the Celtics’ Top-5 Highest IQ Plays of the Week!

SB Nation Reacts: Boston is home to The Garzilla
Sometimes it feels like you know how 80% of a Celtics game is going to go. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are going to do half of the heavy lifting. Payton Pritchard and Derrick White will cover about another third. But it’s that other 15-20% that you’re going to get from your 5th, 6th, and […]
The Hornets surge has the Celtics fingerprints all over it
When the Celtics and Hornets face off on Sunday night, it will be a match-up between two of the Eastern Conference’s hottest teams. And, in many ways, the two franchises are interconnected — both due to their personell and emerging styles of play. Earlier this month, ESPN analyst Jay Williams drew the connection himself: “They’re […]
Mandatory Minimums—The Week in Green
Jaylen Brown had some things to say about the NBA’s regular season awards on Wednesday. In the wake of Cade Cunningham’s lung collapse, robbing him of consideration for All-NBA and MVP awards, Jaylen Brown reminded everyone that back when the 65-game minimum threshold was written into the current CBA—by the NBPA and the league—it was […]

Jordan Walsh provides spark in return to Celtics rotation
Jordan Walsh’s third season has been a bit of a roller coaster. He started the season as a distant idea, where youth and potential still held weight, but it was unclear if he could break through. That breakthrough did happen, and it led to a string of promising starts with consistent and meaningful playing time. […]
10 takeaways from the Celtics flipping the script vs Hawks
#1 – Early game trouble As it was highlighted by Gray Washburn in the press conference after the game, it’s rare for Joe Mazzulla to call multiple timeouts so early in the game.

Jayson Tatum ‘thankful’ despite imperfect return to Celtics: ‘It is frustrating’
In his 10th game back with the Boston Celtics on Friday night, Jayson Tatum delivered his best performance of the season by dominating the second half against the Atlanta Hawks.

Payton Pritchard soars with gritty, all-around performance in Celtics win

Without Jaylen Brown (and Nikola Vucevic), Boston was able weather a Hawks’ 25-9 opening kick and a […]
Jayson Tatum reveals why he decided to return this season rather than chase perfection
BOSTON — For months, whether Jayson Tatum was going to return to the court was one of the biggest questions in basketball. We saw glimpses of his on-court workouts and heard nothing but positive things about how he looked to his teammates, but the door was left open — and discourse intensified — when he […]
Payton Pritchard, Jayson Tatum lead Celtics in 109-102 win over Hawks
Jayson Tatum set his season high in the Celtics 109-102 win over the Hawks on Friday night with 26 points. After a rough first half, Tatum really settled in during the 2nd half with 21 points and 5 rebounds on 6/13 from the field. However, it was Payton Pritchard who led team in scoring with […]

The Celtics are deciding how every defensive possession ends
If you’ve been watching the Celtics this year (you’re reading this on CelticsBlog so of course you’ve been watching), you’ve likely seen a moment that keeps happening, even if it didn’t really register the first time.
