Change is good
The Lakers have a problem. It’s a LeBron James problem. Well, it’s also a Luka Doncic problem. Really, it’s an Austin Reaves problem, too. When LA’s three best players are on the floor together, they’re a -8.8 net rating. They’ve played just eleven games together and sure, sport an 8-3 record, but at their core, […]
Decoding Jayson Tatum’s Return Date
On Saturday in Los Angeles, Jayson Tatum did what he has done for weeks now: he said something that gave us pretty much nothing in the way of new information. He hasn’t practiced with the team since his Maine session a week ago. The photos from San Francisco were — Tatum’s words — an “optional […]
Building a Better Bench — The Week in Green
Boston’s secret weapon this year has been the play of guys that were, basically, afterthoughts in assessments of the team coming into the season.

The Detroit Pistons have a commanding 5.5 game lead in the East (as of Saturday afternoon). Behind them are the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and Cleveland Cavaliers, all bunched up within a game and a half of each other. It is worth noting that the Raptors are 3.5 games out of 2nd place as […]
Derrick White, Point God
The Celtics are no stranger to having elite facilitating guards. You can go all the way back to Bob Cousy in the 50s and 60s, Dennis Johnson in the 80s, Rajon Rondo in the late 2000s and early 2010s, and now we might have to start talking about Derrick White in 2026. White is averaging […]
