With free agency hours away, Boston will be looking to make some improvements on a roster that is unbalanced, and still lacking any true star talent. Fans who day-dream about Marc Gasol, Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, or Draymond Green wearing green next season are in for a rude awakening. The list compiled here are guys [...]

Well that’s not what we expected.. With the 16th pick in the draft the Celtics shocked just about everyone by taking Louisville guard Terry Rozier. With needs at shooting, rim protecting, and overall frontcourt toughness, the Celtics opted for another guard in what is already a crowded backcourt with Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, Isaiah Thomas, [...]

Height (w/shoes): 6’7 Weight: 211 Wingspan: 7’2 No Step Vert: 32.0 Max Vert: 38.0 (Measurements via DraftExpress) Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is one of the best defenders in the draft and fits nicely in this new era of defense where versatility is critical. He defended all positions while at Arizona,  and his athleticism is off the charts. [...]

Height (w/ shoes): 6’6.25 Weight: 231 Wingspan: 6’11.75 No Step Vert: 38.0 Max Vert: 43.0 Virginia’s star forward Justin Anderson is one name that will be linked to the Celtics in the coming weeks. Coming off a freshmen year where Anderson was used as more of a reserve, he took center stage of the Cavaliers [...]

Height (w/ shoes): 6’10.5 Weight: 246 Wingspan: 7’2 No step vert: 25.0 Max Vert: 31.5 (Measurements via DraftExpress) Bobby Portis is one of the most unique prospects in the draft. Projected anywhere from late lottery to mid teens, Portis can come on the court an instantly make an impact. With an unorthodox jump shot, Portis is [...]

With the NBA draft 6 weeks away the Celtics will look to make a splash with a couple of first and second picks. This draft has been labeled a top heavy draft, but it’s filled with players who have skills that match the Celtics needs. When describing the combine last year Brad Stevens said, “The best [...]

What a year. Big time trades, crazy games, a fan-base unsure whether to hope for losses or wins, this Celtics team was extremely interesting. A year after winning 25 games the Celtics gave every fan hope for the future, and got to measure themselves against the best, which is more than anyone can ask for. [...]

For those of you who have watched the Longest Yard (the newest one), here’s an analogy for this series. The Celtics are Adam Sandler, and the Cavaliers are like Michael Irvin during the one-on-one scene. Sandler, un-intimidated, plays toe-to-toe with Irving, exhibiting extreme heart and poise no matter how many elbows he took. But in the [...]

After another valiant effort, the Celtics just couldn’t muster up enough firepower to take down the Cavs. Down 2-0 in the series, things are looking bleak for our C’s. Fortunately, last night we saw a lot of good things, and it could lead to potentially winning a game or two at home. UP 1. Defense [...]

In a game where Cleveland decided that it would rest their best players, the Celtics did what playoff teams are supposed to do against inferior opponents, bury them. It started off a little bit slow, but after the first frame the Celtics went on a big run, and never looked back. And with the help [...]
