Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
Back in mid-November, the Celtics found themselves sitting with a 5-7 record – still searching for consistency, struggling to close out tight games and trying to find their identity. Since that point, they’ve looked like a mature and battle-tested team that has the answers to the test. The Celtics are playing inspired basketball and have […]
Keeping the engine running and their three-game winning streak alive was the top priority for the Celtics on Friday night. So the team leaned on its roots against the LeBron James- and Luka Dončić-less Lakers: returning to the philosophy of Mazzulla-ball. It took only seven minutes and nine seconds into the first quarter for Boston […]
Let’s look at trends, for what is gambling other than the constant push and pull to determine whether to gamble with trends, or against them. A good friend recently reminded me of the time, years ago, when we popped into Continue reading Week 14 College/NFL Picks: Back where Brother Bill Belongs →

Well, that was a basketball game. The shorthanded Lakers didn’t have a chance at all at beating the Celtics. Boston started red-hot from 3-point range and ended the game hitting 24 from beyond the arc. Los Angeles appeared exhausted and unable to put up much of a fight. Head coach JJ Redick cleared his bench […]
With Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart all sidelined, this watered-down version of Celtics-Lakers didn’t carry quite the same weight as many others over the years. But, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Jordan Walsh and Payton Pritchard ensured Celtics fans still got their money’s worth. Brown led the way with 30 points, 8 […]
The Lakers couldn’t find enough firepower to stop the Boston Celtics, losing 126-105, on Friday night. LA had a rough start offensively, allowing the Celtics to take an early eight-point lead. Derrick White drained two quick 3-pointers. At the 6:39 mark, the Lakers were still in single digits with just seven points scored. Los Angeles […]

UPDATE: The Lakers made it official ruling LeBron James out against the Celtics due to right sciatica and left joint arthritis. This will make beating Boston that much harder, but given that LeBron is the oldest player in the NBA, it makes sense for him not to push it and play both games in back-to-back matchups. […]

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics (13-9) and Los Angeles Lakers (16-5) will both be coming off Thursday night wins when they face each other on Friday at TD Garden. The Celtics blew out the Washington Wizards by 45 points, while it took a Rui Hachimura game-winner for the Lakers to beat the Toronto Raptors. But, […]
There isn’t a Patriots game this week for the first time since late August, so I imagine that a lot of you out there will either be taking this Sunday off from the NFL or tuning into the RedZone Channel, losing the remote between the couch cushions, and spending the day rooting against the various […]
Last offseason, the Cubs were reportedly “in” on free agent third baseman Alex Bregman. They got outbid by the Red Sox. A couple of weeks ago, I posted this article regarding Bregman’s free agency this offseason after he opted out of his deal in Boston. Now, per Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma in The Athletic, […]
On Tuesday, Sonny Gray greeted Red Sox Nation with exactly what it wanted to hear. Here’s the money quote: “It feels good to me to be able to go to a place now where it’s easy to hate the Yankees.” Not only is the quote bellicose, but the delivery leaves little room for epexegesis: Now […]

#1 – Assists percentage through the roof The Celtics are dead last in assist percentage this season, with an assist on only 56.5% of their baskets. This is directly linked to Boston’s huge tendency to lean on isolation, especially with Jaylen Brown. Last night, as the Celtics’ go-to guy was resting, the team needed to […]
The Boston Celtics dominated the Washington Wizards in the nation’s capital, with their revamped defensive approach playing a pivotal role in the victory. Before the season, coach Joe Mazzulla talked about playing to the strengths of his new roster. On offense that meant welcoming the idea of taking fewer threes as the Celtics lost some […]
Good morning! The Red Sox made a trade last night. And, regardless of whether you think it’s a good trade (Matt makes a pretty strong argument that it is) it’s definitely a curious trade, because Johan Oviedo certainly seems to fit the profile of one of those mid-rotation starters that Craig Breslow had said the […]
Welcome to Friday, folks! Sorry about the lack of a full recap of last night’s game — the night got away from me and then Friday morning came quickly. By now, you likely know that the Bruins beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Thursday night, bouncing back from Tuesday’s loss in Detroit. Highlights from […]
There is not one individual reason why the New England Patriots transformed into one of the best teams in the NFL this season. Rather, their success is a complex mosaic whose parts include quarterback play, coaching, free agency success, player development, injury luck and schedule, among countless other factors. One that cannot be disregarded among […]
Tuesday marked another quiet day on the news front for the Atlanta Braves, who are gearing up for the Winter Meetings next week. Until those come around, Battery Power continues its player review series, moving forward with Bryce Elder and prospect Elison Joseph. MLB News: The Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates completed a five-player […]
So, I’m on the road and failed to pack anything to read. The best options where I’m saying are a book about The Actors Studio by James Lipton, the first chapter of which was surprisingly dull, and a memoir(?) by Chelsea Handler, which is not funny, interesting, or insightful. Spending the evening reading either would […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Yesterday was a relatively quiet day on the hot stove — other than the Red Sox acquiring Johan Oviedo, a 27-year-old starting pitcher, from the Pirates — but the action should heat up soon. Monday marks the start of MLB’s winter meetings in Orlando, where executives, players, and agents converge for […]
A lot has happened since Boston’s first matchup with the Washington Wizards. Nearly a month apart from their first encounter, the result of a Boston blowout victory remained constant, but the Celtics find themselves in a different spot than the 4-5 record they sported after that early November matchup. Another constant is the team’s usage […]
