It’s History Month here at CelticsBlog, and we’re celebrating all 18 banners that hang in the rafters of TD Garden. Today’s chapter relates how it all started

With such a storied franchise as the Boston Celtics, there are naturally a lot of stories. It is kind of like walking around Rome. You stop to catch your breath and sit down on a wall, and you realize you are sitting on something that a centurion solider might have rested on as well. Turn a random corner and you stumble into an archeological site. In an effort to pay our respects to the past and to impart some wisdom on the younger generation, we thought we’d take some time this month to look...

If you’ve followed my work for the better part of a decade, you know how serious a statement that is, because one thing I’ve never had anyone tell me is that I’m not optimistic enough. The baffling decision to trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers didn’t just pull the rug out from underneath the franchise. It fractured the trust between the organization and one of the NBA’s m...

Should the Washington Wizards offer Bilal Coulibaly a contract extension? | Getty Images One of the surest signs that we’ve entered the NBA’s annual dog days: The Ringer’s Zach Lowe has gone on vacation. The only major piece of unfinished business on the league’s to-do list is a ruling on the Los Angeles Clippers and Kawhi Leonard allegedly conspiring to circumvent the salary cap. I guess Jalen Duren being currently without contract is something of a big deal too, but it’s fairly foregone tha...

Yes I know this is a couple days old but it is worth mentioning that those connections have been around since about 2024 when Jrue was traded to the Blazers as part of the Damian Lillard trade (Remember that this was when the Raptors had recently replaced Fred with Dennis Schroder and it was an open question whether he'd start or come off the bench/whether the Raptors would commit to O.G. and Siakam or rebuild around Barnes). Most infamously, the Raptors tried & failed to swap Quickley and Ba...

The Chicago Sky might have had a breakthrough Saturday against the Las Vegas Aces. The Sky have been one of the least clutch teams over the past two seasons. They lost all of their one-possession games and overtime games (an agonizing six in 2026) under coach Tyler Marsh entering Saturday’s contest, and it wasn’t just bad luck. They were committing a long list of time-and-score errors down the stretch, highlighted by blowing an 8-point lead in the final minute of regulation to the New York Liber

The deal, clearly, doesn’t make LA better in the immediate future. Plum is averaging 23.9 points and 6.4 assists per game, while Akoa Makani is a second-year player averaging 9.4 points and 2.5 assists. View this post on Instagram But, ...
