INDEPENDENCE — The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled to stay healthy all season. This has led to them having 41 different starting lineup combinations and just three players participating in 65 or more games. For context, a team like the Boston Celtics had 23 different starting lineup combinations and nine players available for 65 or more […]
Thanks to CelticsBlog, I had the pleasure of covering the final two games of the Boston Celtics’ regular season as credentialed media, making the journey from Tasmania, Australia. I won’t bore you with the details of the journey, but despite a 45-hour, door-to-door journey and some horrendous jet lag, I still had the time of […]
The luxury of securing the 2-seed is a comfy view from the top. While the Boston Celtics spent the final weeks of the regular season fine-tuning rotations and monitoring their health, the lower tier of Eastern Conference playoff teams were in a chaotic sprint toward the finish line. The 5 through 10 seeds shuffled around […]

We’ll have live coverage and updates this Friday night, so make sure you come back to Bad Left Hook for that, and […]
On a sunny August afternoon, I sat down with Payton Pritchard to discuss the reality that the upcoming Celtics season was being widely deemed a Gap Year. He laughed. “There’s only one mindset, always,” he told me then. “I’ve never been on any team in my life where the mindset wasn’t to try to compete […]

That was such a fun game!!! I love all the coach and GM envy from Magic fans. Celtics fans truly are blessed with a great front office and a great coach. It's hilarious how that one comment describes Doc. The Celtics dodged a bullet when he left because he didn't want a rebuild. I love how the Celtics don't go for all the re-run coaches but hired Brad and then Joe. Cool that Walsh is getting a reputation for defense, even if they got his first name wro...
With the Sixers taking care of business against the Milwaukee Bucks (so long, Doc Rivers) and the Orlando Magic losing to the Hospital Celtics, we’ll have meaningful basketball in South Philly this week. The Sixers will host the Magic in the 7-8 play-in game Wednesday at Xfinity Mobile Arena. It’s simple: win and the Sixers […]
BOSTON — Technically, John Tonje has played in many a high-profile game at TD Garden. In a way, he’s actually been doing so for years. That’s because since he was a little kid in Nebraska, Tonje has set nearly all of his NBA 2K games at TD Garden, his favorite arena in the world. “I […]
You’d think that after the season he’s having, Jaylen Brown would be relatively immune to rumors that put him on the trading block, yet as this week showed, there’s no end to them. I don’t know of any leading Celtic player over the last 40 years that has been more consistently shopped by fans and […]
It was fitting, in a sense, that no one gave the Celtics a chance entering Sunday’s regular-season finale. That’s how it was as soon as Jayson Tatum tore his Achilles. That’s how it was to start the season. That’s how it was after their 8-8 start. But each time, the Celtics simply shrugged their shoulders, […]
BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman didn’t know what to expect entering Sunday night’s regular-season finale. The Boston Celtics, down eight players, rolled out a shorthanded rotation made up entirely of reserves against a fully healthy Orlando Magic team. “We were even joking in the locker room coming out for layup lines, looking at each other like, […]
On a night no one thought the Celtics would win — at the end of a season many believed they couldn’t contend —Joe Mazzulla made one final statement for his Coach of the Year candidacy. The final Celtics injury report for Sunday’s game against the Orlando Magic listed eight Celtics players out. Notably, their top […]
Is it possible that the most fun game of the regular season is the finale when seven — SEVEN — rotation players are unavailable and there’s nothing to play for? Yes. Yes, it is. Baylor Scheierman led all scorers with 30 points with Ron Harper Jr. and Luka Garza having career games with 27 to […]
The East is set: After an unexpected win over the Magic in their Sunday regular season finale at TD Garden, the Celtics start the 2026 NBA Playoffs as the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference and are +550 at FanDuel to raise Banner 19. The Magic will now travel to Philadelphia to play in the […]
With the No. 2 seed cemented, and the vast majority of their rotation players sidelined Sunday night, it would have been easy for the Celtics to roll over and wave the white flag against the Magic. But as they’ve consistently shown over the years, the Celtics simply won’t accept defeat, regardless of who’s on the […]
