What are your thoughts on the NBC Sports Boston crew? (daily topic)
Cheers to commentor 1130PAR for suggesting this topic. Keep ‘em coming! We Celtics fanatics consume a ridiculous volume of Boston Celtics content and the large majority of the game coverage is fed to us by NBC Sports Boston as the Regional Sports Network for the team. So much so that they become like part of […]
Mea culpa: I severely underestimated these Celtics
Back in October, before this NBA season began, did you perhaps open up a sports betting app on your phone and wager on how many wins the Boston Celtics would achieve? Did you say they would win at least 48? Maybe 50? More than 50? If so, then the odds are good that you’re about […]

What daily Celtics topics would you like to discuss? (daily topic)
I promise I haven’t completely run out of topics to discuss. At least not yet. I just wanted to see how you like these daily topics and if there are ways I could be improving them. Note that I don’t think I can keep this up forever. My goal is to finish out the month […]
Just three games with the Celtics and Nikola Vučević is making some noise
Nikola Vučević has played three games with Boston and, so far, he’s been exactly as advertised. The Montenegrin big man is averaging 13.7 points and 9.7 rebounds while shooting 48.5% from the floor and better than 41% from three. As a proven veteran, you generally know what you’re getting from Vučević — steady scoring, strong […]

When do you think Jayson Tatum is going to make his season debut? (daily topic)
For what it is worth, Jayson Tatum has yet to make any announcement about his return to the court this season. He has not ruled out the possibility that he could miss the entire season. That makes sense because any number of setbacks could move his timeline back in an abundance of caution. However, all […]
Derrick White doesn’t need to make shots to be elite
Derrick White is testing the validity of the old NBA adage that it is a “make or miss league.” Despite enduring a career-worst scoring efficiency season, he is still grading out as one of the league’s most impactful players. This should not be possible. Even in the analytics era, we should still be able to […]
Jaylen Brown loves these Celtics — and he’ll shout it from the rooftops
LOS ANGELES — Last week, Jaylen Brown shared an Instagram story that highlighted the Celtics’ record this year compared to last year. The graphic, created by NBC Sports Boston, compared the 2024-2025 Celtics’ and the 2025-2026 Celtics’ record, net, offensive, and defensive ratings at the All-Star break, ultimately demonstrating how, remarkably, both teams’ on-court success […]
Three statistical paradoxes that define the Celtics’ overachieving season
After 54 games, the Boston Celtics have the third-best Net Rating in the NBA, and I still cannot wrap my mind around it. How is it possible that a team that lost its best player and its most important rim protectors, built a roster with young players and minimum contracts, and still kept winning at […]
Must Cs: Jayson Tatum teases return with “The Quiet Work”

How would you fix the NBA All Star weekend? (daily topic)
Are you not entertained? The All Star Weekend is supposed to be one of the main showcases for the NBA product. The stars are on display, the game’s elite all come out, there are events all around the town, giving it a festival feel at times. So what’s the problem? Well, the whole idea is […]
How the Celtics celebrated a Special Olympian’s lifelong message: “You can do anything”
Michael Bullock has admired the Boston Celtics for as long as he can remember. His father, James Bullock, introduced him to the team at birth (literally), and rather than revere their 18 championships, Michael has learned far more from his favorite team. “My dad has a strong attachment to the Celtics,” Michael told CelticsBlog. “He […]
The Celtics weren’t supposed to be this good. What should fans expect now?
At the All-Star break, it’s worth acknowledging something that felt unlikely just four months ago. The Celtics are good, not just scrappy, feisty, or ahead of schedule — they’re all of those things too, don’t get me wrong. They are in-your-face, out-in-the-open good. At the not-quite-exact halfway point of the season, the Boston Celtics own […]
Rising Stars Ron Harper Jr. quiet in All-Star Weekend stints
Boston Celtics two-way player Ron Harper Jr. appeared twice in the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities, but fell short of leaving a mark on either competition. The 25-year-old participated in the Castrol Rising Stars mini-tournament on Friday and the Kia Shooting Stars competition on Saturday. Harper Jr. started at shooting guard for Team Austin in the […]

Which Celtic will make his 1st All Star game next season?
This year’s NBA All Star game will be Jaylen Brown’s 5th. Jayson Tatum has been in 6 himself. Newcomer Nikola Vucevic appeared in two. If they are back at normal health next season, I would expect to see Brown and Tatum back in the game. But will there be a 3rd member of the team […]
There’s No Salary Cap on Basketball IQ — The Week in Green
Hi, everyone. It’s been a while since I had something to say here. The past two years have been pretty difficult for me as a fan. In February 2024, I lost the most important Celtics fan in my life, my dad, and just a few months later, I lost my father-in-law, who was another lifelong […]
How does Boston’s competition stack up after the trade deadline?
Not many people would have guessed that the Boston Celtics would be buyers at this year’s trade deadline, especially after shedding Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis’s contracts to get under the second apron. Some timely breakouts put the Celtics in a position to compete, however, even while the team significantly reduced their payroll. Brad Stevens […]
