Ranking each Celtics loss from least to most bizarre

Ranking each Celtics loss from least to most bizarre

Boston Celtics center Al Horford. | Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ In order for the Celtics to lose, the stars have to align. The Boston Celtics have lost only 15 of their first 72 games this season. Every loss is a spectacle, an event, and an absolute catastrophe. These defeats feel much more crushing than normal for the fanbase because they’re just so rare. Once the final buzzer sounds, everyone logs onto Twitter/X, Facebook, or Reddit to let fellow Cs fans that the sky is falling. That’s fine, but the fact of the matter is that the Celtics do not simply just lose...

Neemias Queta’s unclear future with Celtics

Neemias Queta’s unclear future with Celtics

Photo by Kenny Giarla/NBAE via Neemias Queta will play the Maine Celtics’ two games in Atlanta this week and only retains three games of NBA eligibility on his two-way contract this year. ATLANTA — Neemias Queta and the Celtics have not engaged in discussions about converting his two-way contract to a standard one, he told CLNS Media/CelticsBlog on Tuesday. Boston activated him for his 47th NBA game on Saturday against the Bulls, leaving three remaining this season before he becomes ineligible for the playoffs. “I’m just doing my job,” Queta said. “If it...

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

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

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum | Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ It wouldn’t be a loss without some panic, now would it? Whether they’re whispers behind a wall of confidence in the back of your brain or perhaps a devil looming on your shoulder, your concerns with the Celtics probably made their presence known on Monday. 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...

Jrue Holiday Reflects On Debut Celtics Campaign: ‘It’s Been Fun’

Jrue Holiday’s been a picture-perfect match with the Boston Celtics and that feeling is mutual, according to the 33-year-old veteran guard. It took two out-of-the-blue trades just days ahead of training camp before Holiday knew where he would play this season, but the offseason craze has paid off tremendously. First, the Milwaukee Bucks traded Holiday […]

Disappointing: 10 Takeaways from Celitcs/Hawks

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ The Boston Celtics let a 30-point lead slip away against the Atlanta Hawks. #1 Losing the lead 30 points. The Boston Celtics led by 30 points midway through the second quarter. Then, for no good reason, they self-deflated. There wasn’t a momentum-swinging play. The Atlanta Hawks didn’t magically become a better team. The Celtics saw they were up big, took their foot off the gas, and their rhythm vanished. In the second half, the Celtics struggled to control the tempo, limit drives, and knock down their shots — regardless of how high of a...

Why is the Celtics late-game offense the way that it is?

Why is the Celtics late-game offense the way that it is?

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/ It wasn’t as bad as advertised against the Hawks, but it’s still questionable. The Boston Celtics blew a 30-point lead to the Atlanta Hawks. They got their 10-game win streak snapped. They completely lost focus. They scored 44 points in the first quarter and 44 points in the second half. All of that is true. And none of it will matter in two weeks. What will matter in two weeks is Boston’s crunch-time offense, and once again, it devolved into isolation basketball against Atlanta. With 40 seconds left in the game, down by one point, Jaylen...

Celtics Taught ‘Good Lesson’ In Shocking Collapse Vs. Hawks

The Celtics failed to emphasize lead protection when it mattered the most against a Trae Young-less Hawks team on Monday night, turning a potential 10-game Boston winning streak into a much-needed learning lesson. With an already-secured No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics don’t have much left to play for besides maintaining the […]

Hawks rally from 30 points down to stun NBA-leading Celtics 120-118

De'Andre Hunter scored 24 points, including a clinching 3-pointer with 9.2 seconds remaining, and the patched-together Atlanta Hawks rallied from a 30-point deficit Monday night for a stunning 120-118 victory over the NBA-leading Boston Celtics.

NBA Rumors: Celtics, Jrue Holiday Share ‘Interest’ In Contract Extension

When Jrue Holiday joined the Celtics this past offseason, it was known that both sides would need to find a middle ground on a new contract to extend the 33-year-old’s tenure in Boston beyond the 2023-24 season. Getting a deal done has remained on the back burner, though, as Holiday’s increasingly made his value apparent […]

The Celtics, who have the best record in the NBA at 57-14, will be in Atlanta for most of the week with them having to play the Hawks again on Thursday. Both teams came in winning their previous games, and both came in with injuries to their starting lineup as well. To start the first quarter, the Hawks trailed by double digits as they struggled with the Celtics size and couldn't stop them on the perimeter, The Hawks couldn't...

Boston Celtics blow 30-point lead in stunning loss to Atlanta Hawks, 120-118

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports The Celtics weren’t able to celebrate clinching the East’s top seed for long, as they suffered a massive collapse against Atlanta Freshly anointed as the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics’ celebrations were dampened on Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Having led by as many as 30 points in the second quarter, the Celtics suffered a staggering collapse in the third quarter to give the lead away, and found themselves outplayed in crunch time to lose an absolute stunner of a game, 120-118.

Celtics fans have known just how valuable Derrick White is for quite some time, and now, it appears the league is taking notice as well.
