Jaylen Brown Gets Shorthanded Celtics Victory Over Jazz With Sweet Game-Winning Three

The Celtics were short-staffed against the Jazz tonight—no Kyrie, no Al Horford, no Marcus Morris, no Marcus Smart, and as always, no Gordon Hayward—but Jaylen Brown did enough to make sure that it wasn’t a problem.

Gordon Hayward has long been a prolific gamer, and it seems he’s spent his recovery from that horrific leg injury playing Overwatch, Destiny 2, and, most recently, Fortnite.

Marcus Morris Hits Game-Winning Three To Boost Celtics Over Thunder

A pair of Russell Westbrook free throws put the Thunder up six over the Celtics tonight with 24.7 seconds to play.

Celtics-Rockets Was One Totally Bitchin' Basketball Game

If you missed last night’s Celtics-Rockets game—if, say, you were watching outdoor hockey or a heavyweight title fight—you missed an outrageously fun and fast and fiercely competitive game.

Brad Stevens Says Gordon Hayward Will For Sure Not Play For The Celtics This Season

The Once-Unstoppable Celtics Are Returning Back To Earth

Brad Stevens warned everyone. After the Celtics’ 16-game winning streak was finally snapped earlier this year, he admitted that the impressive run of wins right after the team lost Gordon Hayward was “a little bit of a mirage.” Still, though, Boston was at the top of the Eastern Conference for most ...

Kyrie Irving Has No Concern For Earthly Matters Like TV Families<em></em>

Boy, The New-Look Cavs Sure Beat The Living Shit Out Of The Celtics

Sunday’s result should not be read as the Celtics are fake or the Cavs are better than the Celtics or the Celtics are doomed in the playoffs, although I dearly wish for all three of those things to be true. But it seems reasonable to say that the Celtics, who’ve had the NBA’s best defense this seaso...

Steph Curry And Kyrie Irving Put On An Incredible Show

The Warriors narrowly edged the Celtics last night in Oakland, 109-105, in a game that was within a couple possessions most of the way.

Jalen Rose Tells Paul Pierce He's Being Petty About The Isaiah Thomas Video Tribute Fracas

Paul Pierce has made a big stink about the Celtics having the audacity to briefly honor Isaiah Thomas with a short video tribute before the Cavs visit the Celtics next month, and now that Thomas has formally asked the Celtics not to thank him, Pierce looks like a selfish asshole. Rather, as Jalen Ro...

Paul Pierce Really Didn't Want Isaiah Thomas Anywhere Near Paul Pierce Night

On February 11, the Cavs will visit Boston for the second and final time this season, and a very brief tribute was planned for Isaiah Thomas, who was traded away in the Kyrie Irving deal last summer—it was to be a short video played before pregame introductions. That was beyond the pale for Paul Pie...

Gordon Hayward Is Teasing Us

The Boston Celtics are 33-10 and solidly in the NBA’s top tier, but in a world in which Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are still breathing, being a really good team isn’t quite enough. So you can’t blame anyone for looking at what the Celtics have done this year and thi...
