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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
BOSTON — Charles Bassey has played for five different NBA teams since being drafted in 2021. This season, he’s bounced around the league on Ten-Day contracts, enjoying stints with the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors. Since mid-March, he’s been with the Celtics; Bassey signed his first Ten-Day contract on March 15th, and his second […]
The Celtics could be extremely short-handed when they face the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday evening. Jayson Tatum (right Achilles repair management), Jaylen Brown (left Achilles tendonitis), Neemias Queta (right thumb sprain), and Derrick White (right knee contusion) are all questionable to play. And, Nikola Vucevic remains out as he continues to recover from a fractured […]

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. […]
#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. However, pretty quickly, the Celtics were falling behind, especially because of their offense. As the Celtics head coach said, there were too […]
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. It wasn’t particularly efficient, at least not by his standards, and afterward, he admitted the process of building himself back up has brought a mix […]
BOSTON — With Jaylen Brown out against the Atlanta Hawks, someone needed to step up to shoulder the offensive load for the Celtics and Payton Pritchard answered the call. Pritchard finished with a team-high 36 points along with 7 rebounds and 4 assists while shooting 13-23 from the field and 6-11 from three-point range. The […]
In a game of runs, it was the Celtics that eventually finished out the final stretch to beat the visiting Hawks 109-102 behind 36 points off the bench from Payton Pritchard and a 26-12-5 line from Jayson Tatum. Without Jaylen Brown (and Nikola Vucevic), Boston was able weather a Hawks’ 25-9 opening kick and a […]
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 […]
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 […]
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown will miss Friday’s game between the Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks with left Achilles tendonitis.

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. Or the second. It’s one of those things that kind of floats in the background of most games. Easy […]
The Boston Celtics are coming off of perhaps their best win of the season, a 119-109 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder who were fully healthy for the first time all year. It’s just one game, but the importance of the win can’t be overstated. For starters, it shows that the Celtics can keep up […]
The 2025-26 Boston Celtics were supposed to be taking a gap year. That has not been the case as Boston is 2nd in the Eastern Conference and looking to make another deep playoff run with the return of Jayson Tatum. However, before the playoffs start, let’s look ahead to what is to come for the […]

With the MLB season in full swing and the Boston Red Sox playing in their Opening Day against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, it brings me back to a story that has always fascinated me.
