10 takeaways from the Celtics flipping the script vs Hawks
#1 – Early game trouble As it was highlighted by Gray Washburn in the press conference after the game, it’s rare for Joe Mazzulla to call multiple timeouts so early in the game.

Jayson Tatum ‘thankful’ despite imperfect return to Celtics: ‘It is frustrating’
In his 10th game back with the Boston Celtics on Friday night, Jayson Tatum delivered his best performance of the season by dominating the second half against the Atlanta Hawks.

Jayson Tatum reveals why he decided to return this season rather than chase perfection
BOSTON — For months, whether Jayson Tatum was going to return to the court was one of the biggest questions in basketball.

The Celtics are deciding how every defensive possession ends
If you’ve been watching the Celtics this year (you’re reading this on CelticsBlog so of course you’ve been watching), you’ve likely seen a moment that keeps happening, even if it didn’t really register the first time.

The Boston Celtics are coming off of perhaps their best win of the season, a 119-109 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder who were fully healthy for the first time all year.

The time Larry Bird played college baseball
With the MLB season in full swing and the Boston Red Sox playing in their Opening Day against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, it brings me back to a story that has always fascinated me. The time Larry Bird played in a college baseball game for Indiana State University in 1979. This game saw Bird […]
