Seventy-one games in, and with over three weeks until the start of the NBA Playoffs, the Boston Celtics have taught us a lot. For one, they’re no pushover destined for the Play-In — that’s obvious. They’re among the best two-way teams in the league, ranking in the top four in both offensive and defensive rating. […]
LAWRENCE, Mass. — Jordan Walsh knew that his Celtics team was going to be just fine. In the offseason, when many in the media and the public predicted the Celtics would end up a lottery team, Walsh could only laugh. “As soon as I started hearing people talking about losing and tanking and all that […]
Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla and guard Derrick White spent the first of their two nights off at TD Garden — but not for basketball.

Only Jayson Tatum can truly know how close he is to being full speed, and even he might not know for sure. So I admit off the top that this is a silly topic. However, we’ve been given an 8 game sample size to work with and I thought I’d take a pulse of fans […]

BOSTON — Hugo Gonzalez carries a game of Catan onto every team flight, as has frequently been chronicled on the Celtics’ social media accounts. But, don’t be fooled — the Celtics rookie is not a part of the team’s regular competitive Catan games. “I am the Catan hater,” Gonzalez said emphatically, sitting at his locker […]

#1 – Surviving thanks to Jaylen At half-time, Jaylen Brown had scored or assisted on 50% of the Celtics’ points. As the Timberwolves have one of the best rim protections in the league, Brown’s ability to be somewhat efficient from the mid-range is what got the offense going. The problem the Wolves sometimes have is […]
BOSTON — Everyone has something to say about Jayson Tatum’s return to the court. That’s the reality of the world we live in, after all: basketball is consumed by millions of fans worldwide, and the media’s job is to discuss the most hot-button topics, sometimes ad nauseam. Tatum gets it worse than most: he plays […]
BOSTON — Riding a four-game winning streak and facing a Minnesota Timberwolves team without Anthony Edwards, the Boston Celtics had momentum on their side.

The Jayson Tatum return has been riveting. Every shot attempt, rebound, pass, and even high-five over these first seven games has been scrutinized. The overall early returns on the Tatum comeback have been sensational; however, his performance against the Memphis Grizzlies is a good reminder that he still has a way to go before he […]
The Celtics went 4-0 since my last column, notching a solid win over the Warriors, and some uneven performances against the Wizards, Suns, and Grizzlies. The negative way of looking at this is that the C’s really shouldn’t have struggled against the Grizzlies (24-45), and probably shouldn’t have had such a hard time with the […]

1. Escaped the Trap Game Coming into this game, the Memphis Grizzlies had 10 players listed as OUT on the injury report and were running out guys on two-way deals and 10-day contracts against a mostly healthy Boston Celtics team only missing Nikola Vucevic. This has the recipe for a gold old fashioned Trap Game […]
