Marcus Smart is one of the most gritty and tough-nosed guards in the NBA. He is a huge part of the Celtics recent success and he is finally being rewarded for it. Smart has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $52 million extension with the Celtics according to Yahoo Sports: [tweet https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1019950309005766656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] This feels like a [...]

Coming into his sophomore season at Texas A&M, Robert Williams was seen as a potential top 10 pick, possibly even a top five pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. His size, strength, explosiveness and quickness made him the ideal rim running center on offense and a rim protector on defense. An underwhelming start to his [...]

Things are heating up as the NBA speeds toward Thursday night’s draft—particularly in Memphis, where the Grizzlies are hocking the No. 4 pick to roughly one-quarter of the league. According to ESPN.com’s Jonathan Givony, the Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Orlando Magic are all trying [...]

Despite a rash of injuries and not having their two best offensive players for the postseason, the Boston Celtics persevered and were one game away from making the NBA Finals and being the first team to dethrone LeBron James in the eastern conference since Twitter’s infancy. We saw young studs like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen [...]

The Boston Celtics haven’t even had Kyrie Irving on their roster for a year, and yet they’re already afraid of losing him. During a conversation on Yahoo Sports’ NBA podcast with Shams Charania, Chris Mannix said that the organization is seriously worried about losing the All-Star point guard in free agency next summer when he [...]

So much for the Boston Celtics letting their roster ride into next season. Standing pat appears to make sense for the Celtics. Their roster is overloaded with talent, they came within one victory of an NBA Finals appearance and, above all else, they’ve yet to even see the best version of themselves. Gordon Hayward missed [...]

Brad Stevens does not want to be held responsible for the Boston Celtics’ postseason success. He’d much rather you focus on the players rather than his work on the sidelines. This is not speculation of character. This is a summation of his own words. As he told reporters the day after jumping out to a [...]

LeBron James isn’t fazed the Cleveland Cavaliers’ less-than-ideal start to the Eastern Conference Finals. But should he be? The Boston Celtics whacked the Cavaliers in Game 1 on Sunday afternoon, scoring 36 points in the first quarter and never really letting the reigning conference champs back into things. They exited TD Garden with a 108-83 [...]

Brad Stevens may still win the NBA’s officially recognized Coach of the Year award, but he’s already lost the battle among his sideline peers. Similar to how the NBA’s player association has its own end-of-season award ballot, the coaches association does the same thing with their members. This year, Toronto Raptors head honcho Dwane Casey [...]

Jaylen Brown ended up logging almost 25 minutes during the Boston Celtics’ 108-103 Game 2 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. Had the team’s doctors gotten their way, though, he wouldn’t have seen a single solitary second on the court. That’s the message Brown, along with head coach Brad Stevens, delivered after the [...]
