I’m cautiously very impressed by Walsh (and thank you Joel!)

Jordan Walsh was Showing Us Some Things before that shot, but that's a really nice punctuation mark.

I gasped out loud at how bad that pass was lol
Sorry to get on Josh Minott, but Celts had a 1-pt lead and got a stop -- finally had the ball and the lead with about 6 minutes left. But Minott threw a horrendous pass directly to a Magic player. Layup to retake the lead, and they never looked back.

My Hater Take of the Night is that the Orlando Magic will be deeply uncool for as long as they have a Disney logo on their uniform.

Peak 19-year-old Hugo Gonzalez: Ran around aimlessly, ate up a bunch of the shot clock for no reason, handed Derrick White a shot-clock grenade ... then hustled and created the offensive rebound that led to the Simons three.

There is just not a thing you can do about Jaylen Brown right now
November 8, 2025 at 1:45 AM
That was an impressive two minutes of Celtics defense.

So when Jaylen Brown said he was "sacrificing" last year, it turns out he absolutely was and fair enough

watching the Mamdani campaign from afar during the primary, so many things were impressive, among them the incredible work his online video team was doing to spread the message in fun, creative, educational, invigorating ways that spoke to people

this is my story about how they did it
Selling Zohran | Defector
On a cool Sunday in November, a few days after Donald Trump’s re-election, Zohran Mamdani stood on a street corner in Jamaica, Queens, holding up a hastily drawn cardboard sign that read “DID YOU VOTE...

I think you’re probably right that this will be the excuse the officials use to wiggle out of L2M culpability, which will be interesting for two reasons. 1) Postgame, Jaylen said they told him they didn’t see the trip and 2) it’s transparently not true

If the Last 2 Minute report confirms the incorrect no-call tomorrow, Jaylen should be exempt from the fine (he probably won't be).

Jaylen Brown is way, way too good for the Celtics to tank, and this iteration of the Celtics feels a little too unserious for 29-year-old Jaylen Brown. Idk man.
November 4, 2025 at 3:16 AM
Real opportunity for the officials to make up for the missed trip here.

Good night for those of us who were a little higher on Walter Clayton Jr. than was reasonable.

The disgusted way that fan caught that home run ball was hilarious.

This is not a "The refs are biased!" post but rather a "wtf" post - the Celtics are on the bottom end of a 56-16 free-throw disparity over their last seven quarters of basketball.

Listen, I'm not afraid to say it: I'm impressed by Josh Minott.
November 2, 2025 at 12:54 AM
Just how Joe Mazzulla drew it up.
November 1, 2025 at 1:39 AM
The Jaylen Brown 1A superstar experience has been everything the Celtics could have hoped so far.
November 1, 2025 at 1:21 AM
Jaylen was pretty much locked into getting that technical, but he also had a pretty strong case.

In more positive injury-related news, Tiago Splitter says Robert Williams III is good to go tonight.

So at its best, this Celtics team is going to FUN fun.

I really like the look of the Jaylen-Hauser-Simons trio and then I pulled it up on Cleaning the Glass, and that trio is -43 in 69 possessions so I'll put a bookmark on that take and revisit later
October 31, 2025 at 11:33 PM
I don't know if this is the case for anyone else, but this broadcast is absolutely pristine on my TV. Regretfully, I do in fact have to hand it to them.
October 31, 2025 at 11:17 PM
I will take the opposite of a victory lap: I did not nail my predictions on this game lol
Hey... it happened!!
