A Boston Celtics Blog: 17 Banners and Counting
We’re back, and we’ve played some good basketball as of late! Welcome to the five highest-IQ plays of the week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve. The plays that get the basketball […]

1. Just Jaylen I don’t know what else there is to say when it comes to Jaylen Brown’s continued dominance as a scorer this season. After a slow first half Brown exploded for 17 points in the 3rd quarter, finishing with 29 points on 9-19 FG, 3-7 3PT, and 8-10 FT. He did have 8 […]
It took 15 games, but the Celtics, alas, finally climbed over the .500 hump with a 113-99 victory over the Nets on Tuesday night — and it all came down to the final 12 minutes of play. Boston fought tooth and nail with the Nets in Brooklyn. Both teams traded double-digit leads, navigated their respective […]
BROOKLYN — In a victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, Sam Hauser played just 7 minutes. It was his first time logging single-digit minutes in a regular-season game since last February, and the benching came amid an abysmal shooting slump that has seen the 26-year-old make just 18.9% of his three-pointer attempts in […]
After logging his fewest minutes of the season (12), Anfernee Simons responded with one of his best overall performances of the season. After scoring zero points and only tallying two assists in the Celtics’ win over the Clippers on Sunday, Simons came out firing against Brooklyn as he finished the first half with 11 PTS, […]
The Boston Celtics visited the struggling Brooklyn Nets Tuesday night in the first of four meetings between the two teams.

Boston kicks off the first of two consecutive matchups against the Brooklyn Nets tonight.

NEW YORK CITY — Throughout the first few weeks of the regular season, Jordan Walsh was racking up DNPs. But even throughout that time, Jaylen Brown continued to instill confidence in him. “We sit next to each other on the plane, so I talk to him all the time,” Brown said. “That’s what this team […]
The Maine Celtics are 5 games into the season, and several players have already stood out in the early days. The Celtics G-League affiliate team dropped their first three games of the season — all road games — but followed that up with back-to-back wins at home against the Long Island Nets to improve to […]
The Celtics got back to .500 with a narrow 121-118 win vs. James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers. The return of marksman level shooting from Payton Pritchard and Derrick White certainly aided the Celtics beating their season average of 113.8 points per game, but I also thought they ran some nice sets to get their guys in position. Several sequences stood out to […]
The Boston Celtics could use an upgrade at center. There is a 29 year old 3 time All Star center that could be available via trade. Which begs the question. Should the Celtics trade for Domantas Sabonis? The answer, as always, is complicated. First let’s explore the rumor itself. Carmichael Dave (Sacramento radio host) kicked […]

With five of six games at TD Garden and a couple of practice days at the Auerbach Center, Boston has an opportunity to work out the kinks before their schedule ramps back up. It’s admittedly small sample size theater, but the Celtics have been “good” to start off the year. They’re one of just three […]
Jaylen Brown is holding himself to a high standard this season, and Sunday night was no exception. Brown returned to the floor fresh off a three-day break as the Celtics hosted the Clippers in search of a second straight win. He scored 33 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, recording his first double-double of the season. […]
BOSTON — For weeks, the Celtics’ starting backcourt couldn’t buy a three-point basket. The hallmark shot that became the bread and butter of the Celtics offense throughout the Joe Mazzulla era was falling at a strikingly low rate, and two of the team’s best shooters were at the center of the struggles. In October, Payton […]
The Boston Celtics made it two straight wins with a home victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Jaylen Brown led the way with 33 points and 12 rebounds, while Payton Pritchard added 30. The win moved Boston to 7-7 on the season. The Celtics led by as many as 24, but the Clippers kept clawing […]

With the Mavericks recently firing Nico Harrison and the signs of an implosion to Dallas’ roster looming, former Celtic Jeff Teague talked about the possibility of teaming up Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Anthony Davis together for a trade package of either Derrick White/Anfernee Simons, Payton Pritchard and possibly more. Teague said, “If AD goes […]
Will Jordan Walsh be Harden’s primary defender? I did not expect Jordan Walsh’s defense to be at the level we’ve seen over the last few games. Whether he was guarding Orlando’s Paolo Banchero or staying in front of Philadelphia’s shifty Tyrese Maxey, Walsh has shown real defensive versatility. At the moment, he’s earned Joe Mazzulla’s […]
Six months ago, Jayson Tatum ruptured his Achilles tendon and the Boston Celtics were eliminated from the playoffs. That triggered a series of events that led to the departures of beloved players like Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, Luke Kornet, and Kristaps Porzingis. It also led to a resetting of the Celtics cap sheet. By now […]
