The NBA trade deadline is coming up this Thursday, so before we get into the Celtics trade value, let’s take a look at a couple of rumors. There has been some support for the Celtics to become buyers at the deadline, but they should only do so for players that have the potential to be [...]

Every year, Grantland’s Bill Simmons comes out with his NBA trade value column in which he assesses the value of the NBA’s top players by listing the top 60 trade assets in order (with some honorable mention candidates). It’s a column I look forward to every year. Simmons does a great job looking at the [...]

The Celtics saw an early lead evaporate after a poor third quarter performance, but were able to hold on and extend the lead in the fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 107-96 Friday night. Jared Sullinger led the way with 22 points, 8 rebounds and a career-high 7 assists, while Avery Bradley continued his [...]

When Brad Stevens announced that Brandon Bass would be starting over Tyler Zeller before the Blazers game, I was surprised. Sure, the starting five of Turner, Bradley, Crowder, Sullinger and Zeller had struggled, but would replacing Zeller with Bass fix that? Does it make sense to bench a 25-year-old center who has been steadily improving [...]

The Celtics were simply overmatched in their 102-93 loss against the Clippers in the Martin Luther King Day afternoon special. It was a disappointing performance for most of the game, but the Celtics made a little bit of a comeback at the end of the third and the beginning of the fourth, cutting the Clippers [...]

The Celtics weren’t too far out of the game, but it never felt like they had a chance to win this one as they took a loss on their home floor to the Atlanta Hawks by a score of 105-91. The Hawks are running like a well-oiled machine at the moment, and even while sitting [...]

Much to Celtics fans dismay, James Young will once again be on the inactive list for Friday night’s game against Indiana. The argument for Young to play is simple: the Celtics aren’t going anywhere since they traded Rajon Rondo, so why not play the young guys now and begin to develop them? This is an [...]

For those Celtics fans who stuck it out through what was an embarrassing end to the third quarter, they got a chance to see a combination that Brad Stevens has not gone to for an extended period of time since the Rajon Rondo trade. Boston went with a defensive minded lineup to begin the fourth [...]

From the makeup of the Celtics current roster, it’s clear that there are more deals to be made for Danny Ainge and the Boston front office. Guys like Brandon Bass, Jeff Green and Brandan Wright will all go through the rumor mill between now and the time the trade deadline passes in late February. A [...]

The Wizards dominated from the opening tip as the Celtics dropped their fourth straight Saturday night by a score of 101-88. The Cs have given up 100 or more points in those four games while only getting to the 100 mark themselves once. The Celtics continued their recent trend of getting off to a slow [...]
