The Boston Celtics began their season with some adversity. The team fought to reach .500 and is looking to hold onto a positive record as the year progresses.
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown recently reached a phenomenal milestone in his NBA career. Over the years, Jaylen Brown has become one of the best players at his position.
The Boston Celtics became 18-time NBA champions in 2024, led by the dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The Boston Celtics also put an end to their 16-year NBA Championship drought after lifting the Larry O’Brien trophy in 2024.

Don’t look now, but the 2025-26 Boston Celtics are better than you — and probably most people — thought. Sure, coach Joe Mazzulla’s team isn’t exactly riding high atop the Eastern Conference standings.
The rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference semifinals did not disappoint, as the tension was high during the Boston Celtics-New York Knicks game at TD Garden on Tuesday night.

Payton Pritchard had a career night, scoring 42 points to beat a playoff-contending Cavaliers team. Neemias Queta and Derrick White would be ruled out with injuries, putting Sam Hauser and Xavier Tillman Sr.
Joel Embiid finally returned Sunday night, and while the Sixers didn’t get the win, they at least got their MVP back on the floor. Embiid logged a season-high 30 minutes in his first game in three weeks, finishing with 18 points on 6-of-14 shooting in a double-overtime loss to the Hawks.
The Cavaliers can’t keep spotting teams 20-point leads. They can’t allow players such as Payton Pritchard to stroll into Rocket Arena and torch them for 42.
Getting more outside shooting, either from within or through a midseason trade, could elevate the Pistons from a team having a hot start to a team with a chance at a title.
