Bostonvestigation: How valid are those whispers of concern that you’re hearing about the Celtics?

This loss against the Hawks was disgusting, I hated watching it, and I was none-too-pleased when Vit Krejci, whom I heard of for the first time yesterday, lit the Cs up for 16 points to help fuel Atlanta’s 30-point comeback. It’s weird. The Cs have...

Mazzulla praises Tatum’s late game poise in ugly win over Bucks

Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports Jayson Tatum and Joe Mazzulla spoke on Boston’s late game execution in their 122-119 win over Milwaukee on Wednesday night.

Must Cs: all the little things that the Celtics have improved on

However, there have been smaller adjustments made since October that have contributed to Boston’s 55-14 record that were on display against the #2-seeded Bucks. Call this the Steve Nashing of PP’s game. What Pritchard has mastered is simply keeping his...
