Brad Stevens continues to GOAT himself by locking up the entire core for next season highlighted by Jayson Tatum signing his Super Max Extension and Derrick White's 4 year $126Mill hometown discount contract! White opted to sign an extension now instead of testing free agency this year where he could've signed a 5year deal worth up to $237Mill. We now have our top 9 guys all locked up and even got Queta back on a 2 year minimum deal giving a little more depth at the big man position. All eyes ar...

The Boston Celtics had the 30th and 54th pick in the NBA Draft and walked away with Baylor Scheierman and Anton Watson. Baylor looks like a legitimate Sam Hauser Insurance Policy which is great news.

THE CELTICS ARE YOUR NBA FINALS CHAMPIONS!!!! They beat the Mavs by 18 (106-88) to win their 18th Banner on 6/17 which just happens to be the area code for Boston. If you didn't believe the NBA was scripted, maybe you do now (I'm just joking). What makes it even sweeter is the fact that after getting criticized over and over for being overpaid, JB won Finals MVP!! This team has been special all year long. It was clear from Day 1 that they had the talent to win it all but there were still questio...

Wow, this game was as miserable as it gets. The Celtics lost 122-84 BUT are still heading back to Boston up 3-1. The way they lost this game left a lot to be desired. The energy wasn't there from the jump. They were outscored 13 in the first, 13 in the second, 6 in the third and 6 in the fourth. It was truly a disgusting game to watch. With that being said, every game counts exactly the same and the Celtics now have 2 days to relax, watch some film and get ready for Game 5. The good news for Cel...

The Boston Celtics beat the Mavericks 106-99 and take a 3-0 series lead and are just 1 win away from Banner 18!!!!! JB continued to push his case for Finals MVP with 30pts 8reb and 8ast on an efficient 12-22 from the field. He came up clutch with 24pts in the 2nd half including 9 of the teams 21pts in the 4th quarter! Tatum started the game really hot but definitely came down in the second half but that is when JB turned it up! Porzingis wasn't able to play tonight BUT we got great minutes from ...

The Celtics beat the Mavs 105-98 and take a 2-0 series lead and are just 2 wins away from Banner 18!!!! Jrue Holiday stepped up big time in this game leading the way 26pts and it seemed like all of his pts came from being in the dunkers spot with easy buckets from Tatum or JB drive and dumps! The biggest play of the night came with the Celtics up 103-98 where Derrick White and JB met PJ Washington at the rim and came up with a huge block and then JB gets a huge bucket to ice the game at 105-98! ...

The NBA Finals is here and so is Kristaps Porzingis!!! The Celtics have not had this big of a boost off the bench in a loooongg time and it led to a 107-89 W in Game 1!!! After his remarks during Media Day, I don't think it was super surprising that KP came off the bench but he looked as fresh as ever and was a major spark off the bench with 20pts 6reb and what should've been 4blks! He only played 21 min in this game but the Celtics felt every bit of it. Outside of him, JB was phenomenal and hon...

THE CELTICS SWEEP THE PACERS AND ARE HEADING TO THE NBA FINALS!!!! Jaylen Brown won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP deservedly so. He was spectacular this series and in this game. He had 10pts in the 4th quarter and a couple of monster defensive plays down the stretch as well as the assist to White for the 3 that put the Celtics up 105-102. After missing out on an All-Defensive nod and and All-NBA nod, I'm super happy for him to get some recognition. Past JB, we had phenomenal contributions fr...

The Celtics found themselves down 18pts in this game and mounted an incredible comeback to win 114-111! Tatum led the way scoring wise with 36 but it was Al Horford who stuck out the most to me. He had 23pts on 7-12 from deep and seemed to hit every big shot we needed from him. Holiday certainly struggled from the field for most of this game but had a huge And 1 to go up 112-111 and then a monster steal that led to 2 more FTs to ice the game at 114-111. Our entire starting lineup made big play a...

The Celtics blow out the Pacers 126-110 taking a commanding 2-0 series lead. Jaylen Brown led the way with 40pts and was damn near unstoppable in this game on both sides of the ball. Jrue Holiday played another outstanding game with both Tatum and White playing well in the second half. They were both pretty horrible in the first but they turned on the jets in the 2nd half lol. While JB should be the story of this game, Tyrese Haliburton leaving the game might take some of the headlines. He left ...

WOW the Celtics beat the Pacers 133-128 in OT taking a 1-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. This game was as nerve wracking and fun as it gets. The Celtics were down 115-110 with just under 2 minutes to play and forced an OT after JB deflected an inbounds off Siakam giving them the ball down 3 with 8 seconds left. He then went on to hit a ridiculously hard corner 3 tying the game forcing an OT silencing all the haters who keep saying the Celtics can't perform in the clutch. JB deser...

The Celtics beat the Cavs 113-98 and win the series 4 games to 1 advancing to their 3rd straight Eastern Conference Finals! This game was played without Mitchell, Allen and LeVert for the Cavs and it was probably closer than it should have been BUT it doesn't matter how you win in the playoffs as long as you win! This game was dominated by Al Horford. He had 22pts breaking out of his 3pt slump and hit 6-13 from deep. He also had 15reb, 7 of which were offensive. He dialed back the clock and pull...

The Celtics beat the Cavs 109-102 and take a 3-1 series lead giving themselves a chance to close it out on our home court on Wednesday! About an hour before tip, news spread that the Cavs were going to be without Donovan Mitchell and this game did not go the way that Celtics fans were expecting. With that being said, give the Cavs some credit because they put together a solid game without their biggest star. This game was won with great play from Jrue Holiday who made a huge impact on the game o...

The Celtics beat the Cavs 106-93 and take a 2-1 series lead! Both of our superstars stepped it up big in this game. JB scored 28pts along with 9reb on an insanely efficient 13-17 from the field. Tatum, although he was less efficient, scored 33pts along with 13reb and 6ast and had a massive footprint in this win. While both of those guys were great, that wouldn't have been enough to beat this Cavs team. That's where Jrue Holiday comes in. This wasn't a great game from White and it was a horrible ...

After a blowout victory in Game 1, the Celtics come out and lay an egg losing 118-94 to the Cavs and the series is now tied 1-1 heading into Cleveland. White went from looking like an All Star to going 1-8 from 3. Tatum and JB were less than efficient in this game as well shooting just 7-17 from the field and JB went 0-6 from beyond the arc. Both of them were aggressive getting downhill which is good to see BUT it got a lot of guys out of rhythm. Defensively, we were horrendous in transition. No...
May 10, 2024•15 min•Season 4Ep. 409
The Celtics cruised to a 120-95 win over the Cavs taking a 1-0 series lead. JB and Derrick White were both incredible in this one. JB started the game off hot with 15 first quarter pts on his way to a team high 32! White continued his hot stretch scoring another 25. In a game with no Porzingis, we also saw some incredible minutes from Kornet which should make Celtics fans feel really good. While JB and White were great, this was far from the best performance we've seen from Tatum which should al...

The Celtics beat the Heat 118-84 and win the series 4 games to 1!!! This game was tied 11-11 and the Celtics went on a 21-5 run and never looked back. We got contributions everywhere in this game. With no Porzingis, Horford was slated into the starting lineup and Kornet got a lot of bench minutes at the 5 and they were both great. Kornet did as good a job on Bam as anyone in this series. White had another Player of the Game night 25pts including 15 in the first quarter. Both of the Jays absolute...
May 02, 2024•24 min•Season 4Ep. 407
The Celtics beat the Heat 102-88 in another masterful defensive performance. This game really had 2 storylines. The first was the play of Derrick White. He was sensational in this game almost single handedly carrying the Celtics offense with a career high 38pts on super efficient shooting splits. The other storyline however wasn't a good one. Kristaps Porzingis left the game with Right Calf Tightness and supposedly left Kaseya Center in a walking boot. He's expected to get it looked at tomorrow ...

The Celtics destroyed the Heat 104-84 and take back home court advantage. This was one of those hard nose gritty defensive wins that Celtics fans have been clamoring for. After giving up a Heat franchise record 23 made 3pt shots in Game 2, the Celtics held the Heat to just 28 3pt attempts in this one. They made it an emphasis to run the Heat off the 3pt line and it totally threw their offense out of sync. As far as the Celtics offense goes, it was much more balanced than it was in Game 2. JB and...
Apr 28, 2024•26 min•Season 4Ep. 405
The Celtics fall to the Heat 111-101 and this was an ugly one. After blowing out the Heat from beyond the arc last game, the script was flipped and it was the Heat who had a historic shooting night. The Heat went 23-43 from beyond the arc while the Celtics only shot 12-32. Shooting 38% from 3 is perfectly fine but there is no world where the Celtics should only be taking 32 3pt shots with the amount of shooters we have. From an offensive standpoint, JB and Tatum both played well and scored 61 of...
Apr 25, 2024•15 min•Season 4Ep. 404
The Celtics beat the Heat 114-94 and roll to a 1-0 series lead!!!! Tatum recorded his first career playoff triple double but we got contributions everywhere. Mazzula stuck to his normal rotations with Horford, Pritchard and Hauser off the bench and got solid contributions from everybody 1-8 in this one. While Tatum may have been the best player on the court in this game, Porzingis may have had the biggest impact. The Heat tried to throw their zones at the Celtics but Porzingis is a zone destroye...

The Heat without Jimmy Butler trounced the Bulls to become the 8 seed securing a first round matchup with the Celtics! Why will this year be different than last year? The easy answer in the personnel on both teams is drastically different. For the Celtics, the addition of Holiday and Porzingis means that the Celtics can now play 5 out making the Heat Zone almost impossible to play. For the Heat, while their core is still there, they did part ways with Max Strus and Gabe Vincent who killed the Ce...

This game was bittersweet to say the least. While it won't be the final game we hear from Mike Gorman, it was his final regular season game and the Celtics sure made it memorable. They honored him throughout the entire game with pictures of him on every seat, dedicating the home broadcast booth to him and shining him with countless endorsements and Thank You's from Celtics greats. The Celtics pulled away with a 132-122 win over the Wizards and this was another game that was led by Payton Pritcha...

The Celtics beat the Hornets 131-98 and improve to 63-18 on the season. With this win, they will now end the season with under 20 losses which is an amazing milestone but they will also end the season without losing 3 straight games! We played this one without our whole top 6 and we still managed to destroy the Hornets with Pritchard leading the way but also getting major contributions from our G League guys! This game still means nothing in the grand scheme of things but it was certainly a bett...

The Celtics lose to the Knicks 118-109 in another ugly loss. Give credit to the Celtics bench for outscoring the Knicks 38-18 in the 4th and making this seem like a close game but the Knicks led this one by as many as 31pts. It was another ugly performance from this team but they got out of it injury free which seems to be their only focus right now. The Celtics proved all season that they are capable of being the best team in the NBA and despite looking horrible lately, they truly have nothing ...

The Celtics beat the Trail Blazers 124-107 and improve to 62-16 on the season which is the 6th best record in franchise history! JB scored his 10,000th career point in the process and was super efficient adding 26pts on 10-17 from the field. Pritchard continued to play at a very high level adding 20pts and 8ast and led this all bench unit to a 4th quarter victory! The Celtics were absolutely destroyed on the glass in this one giving up 22 offensive rebounds but that is about the only negative yo...

The Celtics narrowly escape an 18pt 4th quarter blown lead and win 101-100 because of an Xavier Tillman floater at the end! This was a game that meant absolutely nothing to the Celtics as they already clinched best record in the NBA but meant a lot to the Kings who are battling in play in territory right now. JB and Derrick White both sat out of this game and then we saw Holiday, Horford and Porzingis sit the entire 4th quarter and Tatum was subbed out with 9:24 left. People can complain about b...
