10 Takeaways from Celtics’ stinging loss to Hornets
1. Lack of Effort Coming off a blowout win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, the Celtics got a taste of their own medicine against the Charlotte Hornets, getting crushed 118-89. This game was a rough watch all the way around. It felt like the Hornets had a 20+ point lead in this game from […]
Xavier Tillman reacts to Celtics trade, Boston return
BOSTON — For the first time in two years, when Xavier Tillman took the TD Garden parquet for his pregame shooting, he wasn’t donning Celtics green. Instead, the 26-year-old forward wore Hornets blue, making his return to Boston for the first time since he was unexpectedly traded to the Charlotte Hornets last month. And, from […]
Hornets stomp Celtics 118-89 in potential playoff preview
The Boston Celtics hosted the Charlotte Hornets for their first meeting of the season on Wednesday night at TD Garden.

Episode 4 of Jayson Tatum documentary drops
During NBC’s broadcast of the Spurs vs. 76ers on Tuesday March 3rd, they ran Episode 4 of Jayson Tatum’s Documentary ‘The Quiet Place.’ For as much speculation that has gone on about his return, the documentary dropping this quickly feels like a good sign that Tatum is coming back sooner rather than later. At the […]
The 2025-26 Celtics possess the power of Staying Ready
As the Celtics sweep through the final stretch of what’s been a magical season of career-best breakouts, I often think about a Media Day headline I wrote when expectations were in a significantly different state. The 2025-26 Celtics are one big Stay Ready squad. Ironically, “Stay Ready” isn’t the en vogue phrase of the 2025-26 […]
The Most Improved Player case for Neemias Queta who is probably better than your team’s big man
The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics have been defined by exceeding expectations, and no one on this Celtics roster, and maybe not in the entire league, has exceeded expectations more than Neemias Queta. There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the Celtics coming into the season; they would be relying on a roster comprised of […]

Despite being shorthanded without Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta, the Boston Celtics marched into Milwaukee on the night of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s return and delivered a resounding statement, dismantling the Bucks in a dominant 108–81 triumph.

Why Hugo González was unfazed guarding Giannis Antetokounmpo — even with the Celtics shorthanded
Hugo González played only 13 minutes on Sunday night, less than 24 hours before Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla needed the rookie to start. That didn’t matter, though. González logged his third career start, and his first since Jan. 10, with starters Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta both sidelined on the second night of a […]

Game of runs: Celtics ability to score in bunches has been special
There is an old saying that says “basketball is a game of runs.” These runs can swing momentum of a game for one team and end the hopes of the opponent. My mind jumps to the Golden State Warriors dynasty of the late 2010’s where they used passing to find a wide open shooter on […]

Neemias Queta is just scratching the surface of his potential
BOSTON — “MVP! MVP! MVP!” The chants echoed across TD Garden as the Celtics inched toward a win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
