Though I could never provide as much press conference entertainment as he does and wouldn’t look quite as powerful during a shirtless MMA workout, I aim to predict the typical Boston Celtics rotation. Of course, Mazzulla will change his rotation plenty. The Celtics used 23 different starting lineups last season and will likely shake things up a number of times again next season. In this exercise, I am simply choosing a starting lineup and b...

Here are five NBA players whose trade value could skyrocket by midseason as bigger roles and stronger production reshape their markets.

Mamukelashvili is somewhat of a do-it-all stretch big […]

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...

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...

I guess Jalen Duren being currently without contract is something of a big deal too, but it’s fairly foregone tha...
