Fans of the Boston Celtics (and, truthfully, the entire league) can't watch their favorite team without a gambling segment, an ad about betting, or an opportunity to gamble. And when the game ends, more and more of the players playing it are jumping on their podcasts to talk about it. With the lines between multiple, entangled businesses that make …

March Madness is officially here, and fans of the Boston Celtics tend to start paying attention to the college game around now if they have not been the whole time with their favorite NCAA squad. Potential Celtics draft prospects can be scouted by the casual college basketball fan and pros both, and old rivalries transcend NBA allegiances for a bit…

The Boston Celtics are firmly within the thick of the NBA's 2024 stretch run as they try to wrap up loose ends on the court and nagging injuries while also getting into postseason form. That is not exactly the easiest of needles to thread, but they have a favorable schedule and the right personnel to pull it off, particularly given the lead they ha…

The Boston Celtics have been playing like a ball club full of All-NBA players, even if they will likely only have two -- and it has not shown more this season than in their 140-88 demolition of the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden on Sunday afternoon. Exorcising the demons lingering from their 2022 NBA Finals loss to the Warriors in a big way, no…

The NBA's 2024 trade deadline and All-Star Break are behind the Boston Celtics, and the stretch run to the 2024 playoffs ahead of them. With the best record in the league and a massive lead over the next-closest team in the Eastern Conference and among the easiest schedules left in the Association, what questions are left to answer for the Celtics …

The NBA's All-Star Week has passed, and with it, attention now turns to the stretch run and whatever races for season-long hardware that is not already sewn up. This season, that includes the 2024 Most Valuable Player award. It feels like star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is making a late push to get in the running, but how exactly does the …

The NBA's 2024 All-Star Game has come and gone, and with it the successes of the Boston Celtics who participated. The week of All-Star festivities saw some significant changes, but perhaps none more so than the actual All-Star Game itself. Gone were the target score endings and charities for each quarter of the event, along with the East vs. West d…

The NBA's 2024 trade deadline has come and gone, and with it the ability to make trades to improve the Boston Celtics' roster. But Boston picked up Xavier Tillman, Sr. and Jaden Springer ahead of the deadline to bolster their deep rotation before the 2024 postseason arrives. The league around the Celtics did not stand still, with several teams in t…

The NBA's 2024 trade deadline now perhaps better measured in hours than in days. And knowing what the range of possibilities that exists for the Boston Celtics to choose from to make moves to bolster their roster for a push to the 2024 NBA Finals is a good place to start. What can the Celtics do to get better? Which moves are more likely, and which…

The Boston Celtics have by most accounts the best top six players in the entire NBA to match their league-best regular season record. So, it can be easy to forget about the rest of the team. The so-called "Stay Ready Crew" mostly does just that -- keep themselves in the right frame of mind and state of health in case their number is called. And tho…

With the final returns from the annual fan vote for the league's starters in the 2024 NBA All-Star Game set to go down in Indianapolis, Indiana in the month of February and the reserves selected by league coaches, we will soon get an answer to how many Boston Celtics will suit up for the annual exhibition tilt. Based on the earlier rounds of return…

Most of the teams in the NBA have played around half of their 82-game schedule, giving us enough of a sample size to get an idea of which players might be taking home some full-season hardware come April and onward. And with the Boston Celtics currently the owners of the league's best record, it is not unfair to expect the franchise to have at leas…

There's a lot of basketball to be a fan of in New England. The Boston Celtics stand as the premier hoopers in the region, but greatness can also be found among the UConn Huskies women's and men's programs and the WNBA's Connecticut Sun in recent years. That history will become even more entangled as the Sun are set to play at TD Garden this summer …

With the Boston Celtics rolling and their path to hanging Banner 18 looking more possible than it has in many years, you can't fault fans of the storied ball club for hoping for a reunion with former Boston big men Daniel Theis or Kelly Olynyk. Or failing that, team president Brad Stevens getting a deal done for rumored target Isaiah Stewart to for…

The Boston Celtics beat the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day, the best kind of win for Celtics fans in the regular season if not the NBA Finals. And they did it despite in-game injuries, strong rallies from their opponent -- and most importantly, an ego-boosting hot start that has tended to absorb their killer instinct in the past. To celebrate …

The holidays are here and the Boston Celtics are amazingly good, so in true New England fashion, over at the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, we decided to do what any other New Englander (displaced or in-region) would otherwise be doing. Complaining about stuff! Of course, we will be doing so in our third annual Festivus episode with guest Max Le…

The Boston Celtics might not be making any major moves at the NBA's 2024 trade deadline after having had one of the most active offseasons in the league this summer, but the rest of the league is not going to stand still and let them waltz into the 2024 NBA Finals, either. Teams like the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, and Dallas Mavericks might ta…

The Boston Celtics have been booted from the NBA's inaugural in-season tournament by the Indiana Pacers after a performance that was all too familiar for some. Fans have seen hungrier teams outwork the Celtics on nights when the 3-ball isn't falling. But there was more to the loss than those familiar flops from the past, and not all of it was bad. …

Now that the 2023-24 NBA season is roughly a quarter over with, we can see some rough outlines of what each of the league's Eastern Conference teams will look like by the time the 2024 NBA Playoffs roll around. Some teams have surprised us in terms of their record and play, a handful have disappointed their fans with how they have performed on the …

Sometimes, after the Boston Celtics drop a game to a team they have no business losing to, it can seem like some of the worst elements of seasons past are coming back to haunt fans of the team, it bears reminding that this team is currently the owner of the best record in the entire NBA at 11-3 and on track to win 64 games this season. And while th…

The Boston Celtics have now played over 10% of their 2023-24 NBA season, not quite enough to tell us all we need to know about this aspirant to the league's 2024 title but enough that we have an idea about what sort of ball club they are and could become. At the same time, over that stretch, fans of the storied team have gotten to know new Boston b…

The histories of the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are forever intertwined via the greatness both ball clubs honed against one another over the decades of their storied rivalry. Lakers legends and Celtics greats have taken their on-court battles to the league's biggest stage as both have fought to lead the league in titles won, now tied at …

The Boston Celtics are now 2-0 to start their 2023-24 NBA season after having defeated the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden to kick off their current campaign, following it with a 119-110 victory over the ball club that bounced them from the 2023 postseason, the Miami Heat. The Celtics top six players look as good as any team in the league …

The Boston Celtics just beat the New York Knicks to kick off their 2023-24 campaign for an auspicious start of their pursuit of an NBA-record 18th title, and if their campaign ends anything like the official season simulation by the folks over at NBA 2k, Celtics fans will finally get back on top to pass their rival Los Angeles Lakers as the team wi…

Opening night for the Boston Celtics' 2023-24 season opener against the New York Knicks is nearly upon us, leaving little time for the Celtics' front office to make final roster decisions about a number of rotation players, extend or offer full contracts to two way players if they so desire, and to tend to any other issues in terms of how the team …

There has been no lack of coverage of the new-look Boston Celtics, and as their preseason slate of games has showed us, that's for a very good reason indeed. The additions of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday have made this ball club a wagon, with only a handful of teams in the NBA likely to be able to hold their own vs. Boston. The Celtics are, …

When a new NBA season begins, every team is undefeated, and, at least mathematically speaking, a title contender as well. But for fans of the Boston Celtics, such slights of hand are not going to be enough to slake the thirst for Banner 18 raging in the gullets of Bostonians and their ilk. But the consensus seems to be that Boston is as well-prepar…

After a series of blockbuster trades to remake their roster into the vision Boston Celtics team president Brad Stevens and the rest of the team's front office have for a championship roster surrounding the ball club's All-NBA wings Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Celtics held their annual Media Day proceedings. Those proceedings and the training…

The Boston Celtics pushed in a fair amount of their chips to land former Milwaukee Bucks All-Star guard Jrue Holiday in the wake of the Bucks trading away the UCLA alum to land ex-Portland Trail Blazers star guard Damian Lillard. The twin trades set up the Bucks and Celtics to potentially collide yet again as each ups the ante in pursuit of their n…
  continue reading
 
Damian Lillard is no longer a member of the Portland Trail Blazers organization, having been dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks for veteran point guard Jrue Holiday in a move that likely vaults the Bucks into at least the same tier of contention in the Eastern Conference. But for fans of the Boston Celtics, the imminent concerns do not just end with the …

Less than a week away from the Boston Celtics' 2023 Media Day proceedings set to kick off on Monday, October 2, a number of unresolved storylines could potentially impact the team's 2023-24 campaign significantly should they remain in such a state much longer than the start of the regular season later in the month. What is going on with Malcolm Bro…

Depending on who you ask, the new-look Boston Celtics are either NBA title favorites or a lower body injury away from existential disaster. The trade that swapped out veteran floor general Marcus Smart for star big man Krisstaps Porzingis is but one of several polarizing aspects of this ball club currently dividing the opinions of what this Schrodi…

With the offseason just weeks away from training camp, most of the teams around the NBA have pretty close to the version of their roster that will be taking the floor on opening night under contract, even if they may need to make a few more moves around the margin to get to that point. That makes league analysts and fans of the Boston Celtics and t…

The Boston Celtics have signed Ukrainian wing Svi Mykhailiuk to their 14th regular roster spot, and may very well be done making moves to fortify their roster ahead of the NBA's 2023-24 season for some time. Around the league, other ball clubs are wrapping up their own team building for the offseason, with training camp battles set to suss out the …

For the first time in years, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers both have a solid shot at winning a banner. With the tally tied up at 17 each, the stakes in this age-old rivalry are not small. Just in time to grease the wheels of that ancient enmity is a new season of HBO's "Winning Time: Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" chronicling the historic …

The Boston Celtics are nearly done building their team for the 2023-24 season, with one or perhaps two more signings for deep rotation players still left undone. But for all intents and purposes, we have a pretty good idea about the team that the Celtics will be fielding for their campaign to come, and similar assessments can be made about most of …

It may be the dog days of August in the NBA's 2023 offseason, but that doesn't mean we don't have plenty of Boston Celtics-related things to talk about in the depths of the summer doldrums. From training camp signings and Miami Heat rivals being inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to James Harden threatening to hold out on t…

The Boston Celtics and the rest of the league are supposedly in their summer doldrums period of the NBA's 2023 offseason, yet a surprising (and not always entirely positive) flow of news is still percolating. From rumored injuries and withdrawals from FIBA World Cup play to the long arc of justice finally connecting with some very poor decisions ma…

The past few seasons have been some of the bumpiest in recent memory for the Boston Celtics off the court, with everything from the pandemic to internal scandal taking a toll on the on-court product just as the team starts to pursue another title in earnest. One cannot tell the story of the Celtics last season without including the mess made by for…

Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has officially signed his historic supermax contract extension, and did so with the sort of pomp such a moment deserves, with Olympian and civil rights icon John Carlos in attendance along with lead governor Wyc Grousbeck, team president Brad Stevens, and head coach Joe Mazzulla. But the most interesting gue…

The Boston Celtics are likely to be nearing the finish line when it comes to team building for the 2023 offseason, with limited spending power for a shrinking pool of potential free agent signings. And while trades big and small remain on the table for reshaping the Celtics' roster for the 2023-24 NBA season, signs are starting to drift in that thi…

New England sports fans have been spoiled lately, but some lengthy eras of dismay are part of the storied histories of the Boston Celtics, the Bruins, the New England Patriots and Red Sox. They provide ample fodder for the region's equally rich history of sports writers and journalists. Ahead of the start to the doldrums of the NBA's 2023 offseason…

The Boston Celtics made a big splash to start the NBA's 2023 free agency period by trading away veteran point guard Marcus Smart for star center Kristaps Porzingis, drafted Arkansas Razorbacks standout Jordan Walsh, then signed forward Oshae Brissett and point guard Dalano Banton. Soon afterward (and just before this podcast was recorded), the Celt…

The Boston Celtics shook things up in a big way by dealing away veteran point guard Marcus Smart for star big man Kristaps Porzingis, but we are also hearing that there is more to come in terms of reshaping the Celtics' roster in pursuit of Banner 18. How do we feel about the moves Brad Stevens and Co. have made so far? What else does this roster n…

Many fans of the Boston Celtics went to bed thinking they would wake up to 2023 Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon as a Los Angeles Clipper, reserve forward Danilo Gallinari a Washington Wizard, and Kristaps Porzingis in Boston. Some who went to bed earlier may have thought they'd wake up with Brogdon and Gallo on the Wiz and Porzingis a Celtic.…

The 2023 NBA draft takes place this Thursday, June 22, and while the Boston Celtics have traded away their first round pick for this class of prospects, they possess an intriguing selection at the top of the second round via a pick owed them by the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 35 overall. The Celtics could also trade up, back, or even out of this …

With the real action of the NBA's 2023 offseason about to start unfolding, it's fair to say that events largely beyond the control of the Boston Celtics set the team up for failure last season even before the 2022-23 campaign even began. But now, the Celtics have a full offseason to surround head coach Joe Mazzulla with the support he'll need and t…

One of the biggest challenges the Boston Celtics will need to overcome this season and in the short term moving forward if they want to win another title won't necessarily be an opposing team or player. As we begin to learn the details of the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and how it was designed to punish ball clubs with rosters a…

The dust has settled on the Boston Celtics' Game 7 loss to the Miami Heat in the 2023 Eastern Conference finals, with the Celtics now looking at an exceptionally punitive new collective bargaining agreement designed to make life difficult for costly rosters like Boston's just as they need to retool for another run at a title. The team has major dec…

Once, a wise man told the fans of the Boston Celtics that anything was possible. And in Game 6 of the 2023 Eastern Conference finals as the Celtics could have let their title aspirations and their season slip through their fingers as Jimmy Butler made free throws to put the Miami Heat up 1 with just 3 seconds left, Boston's Derrick White remembered…
