The hits just keep on coming for the Boston Celtics. First, Kyrie Irving leaves their Sunday night loss with a knee injury that’s expected to keep him out of the lineup for at least a few games. Then, according to Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania, they get word that rookie Daniel Theis will need season-ending surgery [...]

Just give the Toronto Raptors first place in the Eastern Conference now. The Cleveland Cavaliers won’t even come close to catching them. Heck, they’ll be lucky to stave off the Indiana Pacers for the East’s No. 3 seed. The Boston Celtics are their lone threat entering the final month of the season, and they still [...]

We can finally put this one to bed I suppose. There have been murmurs and social media posts for months that would hint that Hayward would be able to make a miraculous recovery from his compound fracture that was suffered on opening night vs the Cavaliers, his first game as a Celtic. Hayward even shared [...]

The NBA news cycle never takes any days off. Not even during the Oscars. And not even when the subject matter is more than a half-year old.

ESPN also asked [...]

Now that Paul Pierce’s No. 34 jersey hangs from the Boston Celtics’ rafters, he is uniquely qualified to predict which player’s uniform will follow suit. Hey may also, it seems, be specifically authorized to speak on Kevin Garnett’s behalf. Not only does The Truth believe KG’s No. 5 is next in line to be immortalized [...]

Despite losing Gordon Hayward for the year (we think) and overturning more than half the roster this past offseason, the Boston Celtics are on pace to win 57 games and contend for the Eastern Conference’s top playoff seed. Head coach Brad Stevens isn’t impressed. Okay, that might be putting it strongly. But he’s definitely not [...]

Marcus Smart is one of those guys who’s value isn’t as apparent if you aren’t watching him play on most nights. His extreme hustle and effort to get loose balls, extend plays, make the extra pass and defend some of the NBA’s best perimeter players make him a valuable asset and a big part of [...]

Tyreke Evans has more likely than not played his last game for the Memphis Grizzlies. The team removed its standout wing from the lineup in advance of Wednesday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers.
