Parquet Plays: How the Celtics burned the Heat with speed
Facing the threat of a third consecutive loss, the Boston Celtics responded with a strong performance, defeating the Miami Heat 129–116 at home. Derrick White and Jaylen Brown combined for 63 points, as Boston’s emphasis on speed and tempo proved decisive against the third-ranked defense in the league per NET rating. “We just played so much […]
10 Takeaways From the Celtics fiery win over the Heat
1. 4th Quarter Explosion On a night that was honoring Isaiah Thomas, it seemed fitting that the Celtics used a huge fourth quarter to take down the Miami Heat 129-116. Boston shot 13-21 from the field and hit a new franchise record 10 three-pointers, shooting 10-15 from beyond the arc. The Celtics had a 3-point […]
How Celtics paid homage to Isaiah Thomas amid TD Garden return — beyond the video tribute
BOSTON — Nine years after Isaiah Thomas scored a career-high 52 points to etch his name into Celtics history, the now-36-year-old returned to the place he once called home and watched as Boston channeled its inner I.T. to get back in the win column against the Heat on Friday night. Thomas shared courtside seats with […]
Hugo Gonzalez is learning the power of emotion
BOSTON — In a Monday night loss against the Detroit Pistons, Hugo Gonzalez came in to close the third quarter for the Celtics — only to immediately get scored on, and subsequently turn over the ball. In response to the disappointing sequence of plays, the 19-year-old punched the Celtics’ bench in frustration, angered at his […]

Three things to look for as the Celtics try to bounce back against the Heat
After winning five straight, seven of eight and 10 of 12, the Celtics now find themselves amid a mini two-game losing streak for the first time since early November. The second half against the Bucks was a bit of an uncharacteristic dud. The Pistons game was more competitive, but Detroit made timely plays down the […]
Celtics small ball leading to offensive surge and defensive dip
The Celtics entered Monday’s meeting against arguably the most physically imposing front court in the league with one rotation center — Neemias Queta. With Luka Garza and Xavier Tillman out of the rotation for now, Josh Minott has started to handle the backup big minutes. Even Jordan Walsh and Hugo González have found recently themselves […]
From Luke Kornet to Neemias Queta: the evolution of the Celtics center
The Celtics’ recent success has not only been built on stars and shot creation, but also on a quieter, more structural dominance inside. Over the last two seasons, Boston has found ways to maximize the impact of big men who were once considered marginal NBA players. Over the last few years since Brad Stevens took […]
Celtics could be without 2 players against Miami Heat
BOSTON — The Celtics could be without Sam Hauser and Josh Minott ahead of Friday’s game against the Miami Heat. Hauser is still recovering from a left ankle sprain he suffered in Monday night’s loss to the Detroit Pistons, but is listed as probable to play. Minott, meanwhile, is also on the injury report, listed […]
Jordan Walsh is right on track — and Brad Stevens has the right perspective
BOSTON — Brad Stevens didn’t know what to expect after the Celtics lost five of last year’s eight rotation players in the offseason. Stevens knew that the team was bringing back several proven, championship players — Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard — but also that the team’s ceiling could hinge on the play […]

We’re back! Rough week, but we go on. 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 sickos and nerds […]
Anfernee Simons is still finding where he fits in Boston
When the Celtics moved Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons last summer, it was easy to view the trade through a financial lens. Boston needed flexibility. Simons offered shooting, youth, and a smaller expiring deal. It wasn’t a perfect match, but there was enough upside to let it play out and see how he fit within […]
Hugo Gonzalez is a winning player
Through his first 21 NBA games, one thing has been made clear about Celtics first round pick Hugo Gonzalez, he impacts winning. According to PBP Stats, the Celtics net rating is 8.9 points better with Gonzalez on the floor vs. when he is on the bench. The sample is small, just 247 minutes, but I […]

Open trade season means open mailbag time
I make no secret about the fact that I love transaction season. Trades are exciting! Trade rumors and speculation is fun because there’s always the hope of something great happening. That doesn’t mean I’m very good at trade ideas. I don’t have delusions of grandeur or refer to myself as the Picasso of the Trade […]
The Limits of Mazzulla Small Ball
The Boston Celtics went down in painful fashion against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. Once again, a glaring hole at the backup big man spot — and the inability to corral defensive rebounds — reared its head in what is becoming a familiar trend in Celtics losses this season. Joe Mazzulla has attempted to […]
10 Takeaways from the Celtics hard fought loss to the Pistons
1. Ice Cold Shooting Much like the temperatures outside on a cold December night in Boston, the Celtics shooting was incredibly ice cold, especially from three, and that turned out to be the great equalizer that led to their loss to the Pistons. The Celtics as a team struggled from three point range as they […]
Celtics relished the “fun” of a physically-taxing Pistons battle: “I’m all for it.”
BOSTON — The clock turned back more than 30 years throughout Monday night’s Celtics–Pistons clash. Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart (not Thomas) made it clear what the plan was: go right after Boston, physically. In the third quarter, with 5:01 remaining and standing next to Jaylen Brown while awaiting an Ausar Thompson free-throw attempt, Stewart wrestled with […]
Jaylen Brown’s postgame press conference after Celtics loss showed 1 thing
BOSTON — Jaylen Brown led the Celtics in scoring (34 points), rebounds (8), assists (7), and blocks (3) in Monday night’s 112-105 loss to the Detroit Pistons. But, at the postgame podium, he made one thing clear: he wasn’t happy with his performance. “I got to be better,” Brown said. “I wasn’t good enough for […]
Pistons down Celtics, 112-105
After three days off, the Boston Celtics returned to the court hosting the Detroit Pistons. Boston hadn’t played at home since the Los Angeles Lakers visited TD Garden on December 5th. In an evenly matched game, both teams traded leads all night, however Boston let Detroit creep away with it late, the Pistons securing a […]
Celtics injury update: Forward leaves game vs Pistons with injury
BOSTON — Sam Hauser left Monday’s Celtics game against the Detroit Pistons with a left ankle sprain. Hauser had played for 4 minutes, missing his sole three-point attempt, before asking out of the game. Shortly after he headed to the locker room, the Celtics announced he was questionable to return. The Celtics forward has been […]
