Paul George reflects on ‘extra’ nerves in Celtics debut
BOSTON — Paul George followed through extra long as his first three-pointer as a member of the Celtics swished through the net. The 36-year-old has hit nearly 3,000 threes in his NBA career, but this was his first time doing so in green. So, he let out a sigh of relief. “You want to make […]
Jayson Tatum got a ‘surreal’ first look playing alongside Paul George
For the first time in his professional career, Jayson Tatum wasn’t alongside longtime co-star Jaylen Brown. It was different. Not bad. But different. Instead of taking the floor with the other half of the Jays, Tatum shared it with 36-year-old Paul George — a future Hall of Famer nearing the final stage of his career. […]

Celtics reminded not to overlook Luka Garza
The Boston Celtics took a conservative approach to begin the preseason. Luka Garza didn’t get the memo. Facing the Cleveland Cavaliers, without stars Jayson Tatum, Paul George, or centers Neemias Queta and Mitchell Robinson, Garza got the starting nod for substitute head coaches Tony Dobbins and DJ MacLeay. In the game’s opening 2:21, Garza picked […]
The offensive glass is going to be a big advantage for the Celtics
The Celtics finished 5th in offensive rebounding rate last year at 31.8%, according to Cleaning the Glass. That number plummeted to 30.4% and 11th in the league in the playoffs, which played a part in why the Celtics lost to the 76ers in Round 1. In their first preseason game on Thursday night, a 124-113 […]

Question Marks: The first look at a new era with Celtics-Cavaliers
Celtics basketball, how we’ve missed you. It’s been a long, strange offseason, so it feels good to turn the page and learn about a new team and, maybe more fittingly, a new era. I love preseason because it’s the first real look at where the coaching staff’s heads are at, and who is standing out […]

Aura. That’s the feeling I get in the crisp 60ish degree autumn air (at least according to my iPhone’s weather forecast as I write this). We’ve all finally made it. All of the trips to the “beach,” sweltering summer days, and Liberty Bibberty-filled Wild Card Series commercial breaks are in the rear view. The longest […]

How the Celtics’ roster is primed to beat an NBA’s point of emphasis
Heading into the 2026-2027 season, the NBA Competition Committee identified four areas of focus: off-arm push offs by offensive players, push-offs from screeners, hand-checking off-ball offensive players, and impeding straight line drives. There should be an increased freedom of movement for offenses coming from those points of emphasis which the Celtics have hinted at throughout […]
