SOUND OFF with the Boston Celtics

We're hearing big things about the two players the Boston Celtics chose in the 2026 NBA Draft: Chris Cenac Jr. at No. 27, and Dillon Mitchell at No. 40. We detail everything being said about these two guys, and what they bring to the table for Boston, in special NBA Draft edition of SOUND OFF.

It's time to react to a Game 7 for the ages between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers. Joe Mazzulla was using Jedi mind tricks throughout the game and that helped to make it feel like the Celtics were just a shot away from pulling off the comeback, upset win. Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Neemias Queta delivered for Boston, but so too did Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey for Philadelphia...

Philadelphia has forced a winner-take-all Game 7 after rattling off consecutive wins with its back against the wall. What’s our first reaction to a looming Game 7? What stood out in Game 6 that needs to change Saturday? We dive into it all here.

Joel Embiid looked like MVP-Embiid during Game 5, but he had plenty of help as Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Quentin Grimes all delivered great games for the 76ers as well. Meanwhile, after Boston led 78-70 late in the third quarter, its offense went ice cold down the stretch. You won’t believe how long the team went without scoring a field goal during the fourth quarter.

A week ago Philly fans were chanting, “We want Boston!” Just tonight they thought they had a chance to even the series up now that their former MVP, Joel Embiid, was back in the lineup. Well Payton Pritchard, Jayson Tatum and the rest of the Celtics ripped the heart out of those fans during Game 4 by demolishing the Sixers by 32 points. What was the game plan? How did this happen? Let’s discuss.

The Celtics needed to come through in the clutch in order to pull off a win on the road Friday night in Philly. They delivered on that need, as Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum all gave Boston huge moments during a critical Game 3 win. We dive into the importance of the win – which might be more significant than meets the eye – plus dive into all of the clutch play th...

They were counted out and overlooked – again. Sunday was supposed to be a blowout. The Orlando Magic had everything to play for. The Boston Celtics had nothing to play for (at least seeding-wise). Nearly all of Boston’s top players were out. Orlando was completely healthy. And what did the Celtics do? They shocked the NBA world with an incredible victory on the final night of the season to throw a...

Think about what the Boston Celtics were perceived to be before training camp. Now recognize what they are today: the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Friday’s blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans, which featured not one, but TWO historic NBA achievements, locked in the Celtics’ playoff position. Their offense was unstoppable. And Nikola Vucevic? He’s baaaack!

Baylor Scheierman was as impressive as ever Thursday night in New York, coming off the bench for 20 points that gave the Celtics a chance to win on a night when Jaylen Brown was out with injury. We dive into Scheierman’s performance, the importance of Jayson Tatum’s emotional return to MSG, and what went wrong for Boston down the stretch.

It’s that time of year folks! Joe Mazzulla used Tuesday night’s matchup with the Charlotte Hornets as an opportunity to stretch out the minutes of Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Derrick white, all of whom played the entire fourth quarter to spur a game-changing run. It’s another win by the Celtics against another red-hot team – which seems to be the norm of late - even while LaMelo Ball went off f...

Boston played its first fully-healthy game of the season Sunday afternoon, and the team looked damn good while doing so. With Nikola Vucevic back after missing a month, along with Jayson Tatum and the rest of the crew, the Celtics controlled the Toronto Raptors for a 14-point win while scoring at a record pace from inside the paint. We discuss the offense, Tatum’s minutes being stretched in a way...

The Celtics have been making history all season. They did it again Friday night. Listen to find out the multiple historical achievements Boston notched while crushing the Milwaukee Bucks by 32 points. We also discuss the top-to-bottom, high-level play of the rotation right now, which featured a huge night Friday from Neemias Queta – which was exactly what the Celtics planned to happen.

Jaylen Brown (43 points) and Jayson Tatum (25 points, 18 rebounds, 11 assists) were EXCEPTIONAL Wednesday night. Some might even say they’re heading toward “the most dangerous they’ve ever been as a duo” territory. We discuss! Plus, recapping Boston’s incredible offensive performance that featured a historic first quarter, and why there was never a reason to think that Miami had a chance to pull o...

On a night in which the Celtics were missing both Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta, they struggled to put the ball through the basket - particularly during the second half. That being said, Luka Garza shined in a spot start and is a big reason why the Celtics were tied up heading into the half. We spotlight his performance and what caused the Celtics to fade during the second half against a surging...

The Celtics played the hottest team in the NBA for the second time in three nights, and came away with yet another win. Tonight, they did it without Jaylen Brown, thanks to a shooting clinic from Payton Pritchard, a monster game from Jayson Tatum, and a foursome off the bench of Pritchard, Luka Garza, Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez who ignited Boston’s competitive juices in a primetime matchup aga...

Was that not a statement, folks?! 🔥 Jaylen Brown outperformed reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the Boston Celtics outperformed the reigning-champion Oklahoma City Thunder during a 119-109 win. Boston dominated the second half while dropping 70 points on the best defense in the NBA.

Jaylen Brown scored 29 points, and Jayson Tatum scored all 16 of his during the second half, but somehow, Boston’s offense still went silent during the decisive fourth quarter. What happened? It’s time to discuss after the Celtics went nearly six minutes without a basket of the final period.

Luka Garza was AN ANIMAL Friday night. He and Derrick White combined for 22 points during the fourth quarter to inspire a comeback on a night in which the Celtics just didn’t have their A-game. Those two, plus another 30-point game from Jaylen Brown, gave the Celtics their fourth straight win.

The Celtics had never completed an 8-0 season against the four California teams – until now. Wednesday’s win over the Warriors completed the California Sweep, all while Jaylen Brown dominated again to enter the franchise’s top 10 scoring list, and while Kristaps Porzingis was given a hero’s welcome home in his emotional return to TD Garden.

Jaylen Brown went OFF against the Phoenix Suns, piling up 41 points while setting new career highs of 19 free throw makes and 21 free throw attempts. His performance pushed the Boston Celtics past the Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns on a night when Booker scored 40 of his own. Let’s discuss the unstoppable nature of Brown’s performance, plus the lockdown defense the Celtics played during crunch...

The Celtics had a monster game around the basket against the Washington Wizards – something that hasn’t necessarily been their strong suit this season. But thanks to strong performances from big men Neemias Queta and Luka Garza, the Celtics wound up dominating the paint against the Wizards and cruised to a win. We discuss that emphasis on the paint, while also talking about the shooting slide the...

We don’t do moral victories here in Boston, but… those last two losses were pretty impressive. How can that statement be true? Let’s discuss that, plus the battle between two of the leading MVP candidates in the NBA.

Another Celtics-Spurs game, another high-level competition that went down to the final minutes. Thanks to Derrick White and Ron Harper Jr. - yes, Ron Harper Jr.! - the Celtics took the Spurs down to the wire despite missing Payton Pritchard (injury) and Jaylen Brown (2Q ejection). This is all while Victor Wembanyama raised eyebrows with his elite 3-point shooting, causing Marc to think about Wemby...

Boston finished the regular season with a 3-0 record against the Cleveland Cavaliers, including two wins on the road, to sweep the season series. Sunday’s win featured multiple 26-point advantages, but Boston still needed Jaylen Brown and Payton Pritchard to snap waves of momentum from Cleveland with clutch baskets. And Baylor Scheierman earns some love, even though apparently Shaq doesn’t know wh...

After nearly 10 months of rehab, Jayson Tatum made his return Friday night for the Boston Celtics – and he looked like himself for some major stretches while piling up a monster double-double. He and Jaylen Brown fueled the Celtics to a dominant win over the visiting Dallas Mavericks, who watched rookie and Maine native Cooper Flagg return to New England for the very first time as an NBA player. O...
