Boston Celtics Game Day Recap

The Celtics beat Philly once again 112-101. As I've said several times at this point, scores don't matter in preseason but you want to see how players perform so you can start to put together rotations for the regular season. The Celtics didn't play Tatum or Brown in this one but we did see some lineups with Al and Porzingis alongside White, Jrue and Hauser and that lineup played reall...

Preseason Game #2 is in the books and while they didn't pull out the victory, my statement about preseason games still stands. Scores don't matter. We saw some good performances and we saw some bad performances. Without reading too much into it and dubbing guys stars or not, this is strictly about today's game vs the Knicks. Pritchard, Banton and Svi shined. Hauser and Kornet looked ba...

Celtics basketball is back and the Celtics faced off against Philly and, in familiar fashion, take them down once again 114-106. I say this every year but scores and shooting percentages don't matter during preseason. The only thing that you should be focusing on is the quality of shots we're taking, defensive schemes we're running and the cohesion between the guys out there. One thing...

There has been a lot of offseason movement this year but the Celtics are poised now, better than they have in a long time, to make a serious run at Banner 18. We break it all down in this podcast. Check it out!

Boston Celtics Media Day is here, training camp has started, and all is right in the world. With Jrue Holiday just being traded yesterday, he was not present at Media Day but there was plenty to talk about. We heard a lot about Kristaps Porzingis and the impact he was going to make here. There was a lot of talk about leadership from both of the Jays. Despite no Jrue Holiday being present, there wa...

The Celtics traded Timelord and Brogdon for Jrue Holiday and have immediately become the favorites to win the NBA Finals and bring in Banner 18. The Celtics lost an unbelievable perimeter defender in Marcus Smart when we traded for Kristaps Porzingis and Brad made sure to replace that and then some. Jrue Holiday is arguably the best perimeter defender in the entire NBA so this bolsters our switch...

In an offseason that was as busy as it gets in the beginning, we definitely saw a lull for a few weeks. Now, we have the In-Season Tournament schedule out so we talk about that alongside some breaking news on the Porzingis injury. We also talk about Wyc's comments on the future of the Celtics!

After making us wait what feels like a lifetime, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics finally agree to a 5 year $304 Million contract!!! Some important things to note about this deal. It does include a trade kicker so if the Celtics do decide to trade him down the line, it will cost a little more BUT they did get a team option in the final year of the contract so they do have more leverage in trade...

We've got Justin Trombino from The Celtics Files joining us today to talk everything Summer League. We talk about rookie Jordan Walsh signing his 4 year deal and Banton who also is on a standard NBA contract. We also talk about Jay Scrubb and JD Davison on their 2-Way deals alongside our picks for that third spot! Who gets it? You'll have to listen! This page is also brought to you by Geor...

The Celtics beat the Magic in their final Summer League Game 94-77. At this point, Banton and Jordan Walsh are both on standard contracts and Scrubb and Davison are both signed to 2-Way deals. With that being said, all 4 of them either didn't play or played limited minutes in this one. There is still one more 2-Way contract to be given out so this game was more of a tryout for that final spot....

The Celtics fall to the Knicks 97-89 and fall to 1-3 this Summer League. Unlike the regular season where the only thing that matters is the result, in Summer League the process is the important part and the result doesn't really matter. In Summer League you want to see how guys play, who can do what and does that fit into what the Boston Celtics are trying to do. Banton and Walsh both played w...

Jordan Walsh bounced back after a tough game 2 and led the Celtics to a 95-90 win over the Lakers. The Celtics found themselves down double digits and Walsh came out with a 17pt second half. Overall, fun game for the C's as it's always fun beating the Lakers. Outside of Walsh, Scrubb and Banton also played excellent in this one. Scrubb continues to be my pick for a 2way spot atfer 3 straig...

The Celtics Summer League squad falls short once again but nobody really cares about the final outcome of these games. You watch to see who can play at that next level. We break all of that down in this podcast. You won't want to miss it. This page is also brought to you by George Dimis at PD Properties. PD Properties Motto is - "Sell with us and pay no more than a flat 3% commission. Buy...

The Celtics played in their first summer league game last night and, while this is usually the case, there were some players that stood out and some players that were flat out bad. We break them all down in this episode. Check it out!

First Smart and now Grant. Both of the Celtics bulldogs have officially been moved. Grant Williams was moved to Dallas in a 3 team trade that brought back 2 future second round picks alongside a future second round pick swap as well as a 6.3Mill TPE. Now, this move on paper seems like a cap saving move freeing up approximately $40Mill between salary and luxury tax BUT this to me seems like Brad is...

In the most confusing draft to follow if you're a Celtics fan, Brad Stevens somehow turned the 25th overall pick into Jordan Walsh and 4 future second round picks. Originally, the Celtics actually owned the 35th pick in this years draft but traded that as part of the Smart/Porzingis deal which netted us the 25th pick. During last nights draft we traded back from 25 to 31 adding 2 future second...

The Celtics were part of a 3 team trade with Memphis and Washington sending Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies and Gallo and Muscala to the Wizards with Porzingis and 2 first round picks in return. Tyus Jones was also sent from Memphis to Washington in this trade but nobody really cares about that. Basketball is a ruthless business. Marcus Smart, the heart and soul of this team is gone. He was one of t...

Well, the 2022-2023 season has come to an end after a very tough loss to Miami in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. This off-season is going to be quiet and loud at the same time if that's possible. I don't expect there to be much movement for the core of this team and Brad has already made it clear that Joe Mazzula is going to remain in the Head Coaching role. In this podcast we br...

The Celtics historical comeback falls short as they lose Game 7 103-84. This was truly a horrible showing from start to finish. The very first possession for the Celtics resulted in Tatum rolling an ankle and he was left grimacing all game long. With Tatum going down, all fans turn to JB and expect him to pick up the slack and then he comes out with an 8 turnover game on an extremely inefficient s...

CELTICS WIN!! CELTICS WIN!! Derrick White hits an incredible putback at the buzzer to win 104-103 forcing a Game 7 back in Boston!!! This was a game that the Celtics led by as many as 10 with just over 4 minutes left in the game and they started walking the ball up and forcing things and we watched Miami walk the lead down little by little. The Celtics found themselves up 2 with :16 left and then...

WOW!!! Celtics blow out the Heat once again 110-97 forcing a Game 6 back in Miami!! This was another flawless performance from the Celtics start to finish. It started with a 15-5 lead in the first 5 minutes because of their 3 early steals and that set the tone for the rest of the game. The Celtics got back to their roots and played phenomenal defense in this one. They had 13 steals in this one and...

The Celtics blow out the Heat 116-99 and force a Game 5 back in Boston. The Celtics found themselves down 6 after the first quarter and at halftime thanks in large part to some horrible turnovers. The Celtics gave up 5pts on 5 turnovers in the first quarter and 10pts off 8 turnovers in the second but only committed 2 turnovers in the entire half which helped the Celtics climb back and then push th...

The Celtics blew a 12pt 4th quarter lead en route to a 111-105 loss at home. The Celtics continue making their journey to the Finals harder by shooting themselves in the foot. Tough game to swallow as we fall down 2-0 being forced to perform in Miami and win on the road.

The Celtics fall to the Miami Heat 123-116 after an epic 3rd quarter collapse that resulted in the Celtics being out scored 46-25. To say the defense fell apart is an understatement. The most frustrating part of this game is that we out scored the Heat by 14pts in the other 3 quarters combined but that 3rd quarter deficit was just insurmountable. Celtics fall down 1-0 on the series and are now goi...

WOWWWW!!!! Jayson Tatum erupts for 51pts in the Mother's Day Massacre! 51pts is an NBA Record for most points in a Game 7. He was truly unstoppable in this one. What impressed me the most was that he was searching out Embiid in the pick and roll over and over and one possession he would attack him and get to the rim and the next it would be a stepback 3 in his face. He drew Embiid out to the perim...
