The Chicago Bulls are on the road, heading to Boston, Massachusetts, for a Monday matchup with the Celtics. The Bulls are severely depleted, having picked up four key injuries in the last week, which has forced head coach Billy Donovan to roll out some unfamiliar, but hopefully effective, rotations. The Celtics remain one of the strongest teams in the East and have done more than simply stay afloat without Jayson Tatum. 2023–24 Finals MVP Jaylen Brown is having his best season yet, even w...

“Jaylen Brown is a rightful candidate for the Most Improved Player.” This statement comes from a simple question: who stepped up the most this season, and how did it happen? The Most Improved Player award is often associated with young breakouts or role players taking a leap. This season, however, Brown, one of the league’s […]

Welcome back, Bulls fans. We’re back at it tonight, the first stop on a quick two-game road trip. Tonight’s challengers, the team with the third-best record in the NBA, playing without their franchise superstar, the Boston Celtics. A good old-fashioned rivalry game. Although, considering the fact that over the last decade they’ve doubled our wins head-to-head , I’m not sure rivalry still fits. Anyhoo… Let’s talk Bulls basketball. Before we get out our blow torch at the expense of a...

This Boston Celtics team is a reminder that the NBA season is waves. Josh Minott opened the year as a consistent presence in the starting lineup, starting nine consecutive games, yet he hasn’t logged meaningful rotational minutes since December 12. Conversely, Luka Garza endured a 15-day stretch without seeing the floor, only to emerge as a key contributor in the rotation over […]

Heading into Saturday night, the Clippers and Celtics were 29th and 30th in pace at nearly 96 possessions per game. For LA, fewer possessions make sense for their older roster. With 36-year-old James Harden and 34-year-old Kawhi Leonard, all attempts to limit their wear-and-tear are surely welcome. Paradoxically for the Celtics, the slower “pace” is […]

Jordan Walsh has been having an outstanding year for the Boston Celtics, breaking out as a legitimate two-way threat. After two seasons of DNPs and garbage time minutes, Walsh is now averaging 7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1 steal per game while shooting 58.5% from the floor and 47.3% from three. The numbers don’t even […]

Great way to end the road trip. Love how many Celtics fans there are on the road for the team. Surprised to see Clippers fans trashing their own team so much. Even Kawhi and Harden were trashed. On the other hand, they gave a lot of love to DWhite and JB. And some envy for the Celtics coach and GM. I can't say as I blame them. Joe Mazzulla and Brad Stevens are pretty special. Strange to see Garza be the most punchable face - it'...

Jaylen Brown never got the chance to be a number one option in the NBA. When he was drafted by Boston, he was playing behind Isaiah Thomas and Al Horford. Just one year later, Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward, and Jayson Tatum joined the team, and all it took was one amazing playoff run from Jayson […]
