SOUND OFF with the Boston Celtics

Victor Wembanyama is often referred to as ‘Alien,’ and he looked like one during crunch time Saturday night. He drained two shots, first over Neemias Queta and next over Baylor Scheierman, that were utterly unstoppable to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a win over the Boston Celtics. Let’s examine those moments, plus Boston’s narrow loss, which included strong moments from Scheierman, an inability to get to the free-throw line, and one of its lowest scoring nights of the season.

Sure sounds like the Boston Celtics knew that the Toronto Raptors would apply as much pressure as possible to the 3-point line Friday night. The Celtics said go ahead, and took advantage of Toronto’s defense by producing 39 layups, 62 points in the paint, and 19 free throw attempts. The keys to it all were Payton Pritchard and Jaylen Brown, who became the first Celtics duo in nearly 40 years to put up at least 25 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds on the same night.

Neemias Queta grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds Wednesday night, but the undermanned Denver Nuggets found a way to overcome him and the Boston Celtics for a 114-110 win. Denver, of course, is playing without three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. We break down what went wrong for the Celtics, and who stood out individually, during the loss.

The Boston Celtics have passed the New York Knicks in the standings and are now the No. 2 seed in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. Boston returned from a West Coast trip that just ended in Los Angeles and crushed the Chicago Bulls, 115-101. Anfernee Simons was the offensive engine, as he scored 27 points during the second half alone. We discuss his emergence as a dangerous weapon off of Boston’s bench, and why this was such an impressive win for the red-hot Celtics.

The Celtics grabbed their third double-digit win of the road trip Friday night with a 120-106 win over the Kings in Sacramento. Derrick White and Jaylen Brown combined for 22 points during the fourth quarter, and seven Celtics scored at least 11 points. It was a total team effort, and we’re detailing how it all went down.

The Celtics were sluggish Tuesday night. No way around it. But they found a way to grab a win on the road, in altitude, thanks to a full team effort that saw players deliver exactly what the team needed at different stages of the game. In particular tonight, we highlight Luka Garza, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons.

The Celtics opened up their road trip with some offensive fireworks, dropping 140 points on the Indiana Pacers while grabbing their fourth straight win. We detail who stepped up for Boston, how the C’s responded to some early punches from the Pacers, and why Joe Mazzulla was loving the Jordan Walsh-TJ McConnell spat that led to each player picking up a technical foul.

Playing on the second night of a back-to-back and without Jaylen Brown, the Celtics took down the Toronto Raptors to jump up to the No. 3 seed in the East. How did they pull it off? Payton Pritchard, Hugo Gonzalez and Luka Garza played major roles in making it happen. We dive into the night, and questions after the W, in our latest episode of SOUND OFF.

The Celtics caught fire at the start of the fourth quarter and wound up drilling 10 threes during the final period to pull away for the 129-116 win over the Miami Heat. The Celtics did it all in front of the King in the Fourth himself, Isaiah Thomas, who was sitting courtside as the C’s celebrated his 52-point game against the Heat back in 2016. Derrick White scored 33 points, Jaylen Brown scored 30, and the bench, led by Hugo Gonzalez, Sam Hauser and Anfernee Simons, was lights out.

For the third time in three meetings this season, the Celtics and Pistons went down to the wire. That’s got us thinking: wouldn’t a playoff series between these two teams be ridiculously entertaining? The Pistons came out on top this time and we dive into what went wrong for the Celtics, highlighted by missed free throws and not taking advantage of Cade Cunningham’s foul trouble.

The Celtics looked like themselves during the first half of their matchup with the Bucks, scoring 67 points on 52.4 percent shooting. That offensive rhythm somehow disappeared during the second half while Bobby Portis (27 points) and Kyle Kuzma (31 points) caught fire for Milwaukee. A couple positive takeaways? Jaylen Brown notched another efficient 30-point game, and Jordan Walsh continue to impress at both ends. We discuss it all in tonight’s episode of SOUND OFF.

The Celtics were on the second night of a back-to-back. They were playing for the fifth time in seven nights. None of it mattered, because they picked the Los Angeles Lakers apart en route to a 21-point win to #BeatLA. This win caps a remarkable stretch of winning basketball, which one of our fans comments isn’t a fluke. Oh and Jaylen Brown and Jordan Walsh delivered big nights yet again, which has turned into a trend over the last week.

The Celtics took care of business on the first night of a back-to-back, and they did it in emphatic fashion by beating the Washington Wizards by a ridiculous 45 points. Oh, and they did it without Jaylen Brown! How, you might ask? We’ve got the answers, and they start with Derrick White and Jordan Walsh.

Jaylen Brown was masterful tonight, scoring 42 points on only 24 shots, but the Celtics needed other players to deliver in the clutch to help push them past yet another top East opponent. Jordan Walsh, Josh Minott and Hugo Gonzalez were there to deliver, and as a result, the Celtics have now won six of their last seven games against top-six seeds in the Eastern Conference.

The Celtics didn’t back down to the Cavs despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back and without two of their starters. Instead, Boston took it to the host team and logged its most impressive win of the season. We dive into the stellar performances from Payton Pritchard (42 points) and Jaylen Brown (triple-double), while highlighting the ‘others’ who stepped up. We also take a comment from one fan who believes the Celtics are one player (ahem, No. 0) away from competing in the East.

Ball Don’t Lie was on full display on Thanksgiving Eve as Cade Cunningham missed a potential game-tying free throw with 4.4 seconds left that came after a tough call that went against the Celtics. Boston, behind 60 combined points from Jaylen Brown (33 points) and Derrick White (27 points) dodged the bad luck and snapped the hottest team in the league’s 13-game win streak. We also gotta give some love to Baylor Scheierman for his impact and ability to steady the ship for the C’s after a shaky start as a team.

The Boston Celtics bounced back from an ugly loss Friday night, and they did it in eye-popping fashion against the Orlando Magic. Jaylen Brown led the display of offensive fireworks by dropping a game-high 35 points as the Celtics scored a season high 138 points, including 80 during the first half alone. It was also Brown who hit the two biggest shots of the night to slam the door shut on Orlando’s unsuccessful comeback bid.

The Celtics’ offense looked uncharacteristically out of sorts during Friday night’s NBA Cup game against the Brooklyn Nets. It started out with missed shots, then turned into turnovers. However, strong games from Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta, plus a bolt of energy off the bench from Hugo Gonzalez, gave the Celtics a chance to pull off a monster comeback win. Boston just couldn’t finish it off, thanks in large part to Michael Porter Jr. taking over for the Nets.

The Celtics won another close game Tuesday night for their third straight W. The thing that stands out the most after this one? It’s the fact that they won by double-digits on a night when they didn’t play particularly well. We dive into that accomplishment, as well as how the Celtics turned this game around, during tonight’s episode of SOUND OFF.

James Harden put all the pressure on the Boston Celtics as he scored 18 of his 37 points during the fourth quarter. But Boston, behind Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta, didn’t blink and made all the plays it needed to make to close out the win. We highlight the end of the game, Brown’s and Queta’s performances, and the challenges of defending a future Hall of Famer like Harden during crunch time.

Payton Pritchard silenced his critics Wednesday night by going off on the Memphis Grizzlies for game highs of 24 points and nine assists. He was the main reason why the Celtics set a new season high in team assists (34) while blowing Memphis out, 131-95. Let’s take a closer look at Pritchard’s performance, along with that of Luka Garza and the Boston Celtics offense as a whole.

The Celtics dropped their third one-possession game of the season, this time 102-100. It all came down to the final 30 seconds and Marc D’Amico breaks it down for you, play by play. We also discuss the star-level defense Jordan Walsh is providing to the Celtics, Derrick White possibly turning a corner with his shooting, and Boston’s overall rebounding situation.

Jordan Walsh played the entire fourth quarter for the Celtics, and they’re lucky he did, because he impacted the game at a high level and sealed the game with a 3-pointer from the right wing with 13 seconds left. His fellow reserve, Luka Garza, set Boston up for the win with his impressive fourth quarter, and this was after Anfernee Simons lit the Magic up off the bench during the first half. Time to relive it all in tonight’s episode of SOUND OFF.

Jaylen Brown continued his ridiculous stretch of basketball with 32 points and nine boards, and Payton Pritchard added in a season-best 27 points, but the Celtics faltered down the stretch of another close game Friday night in Orlando. We dive into the critical moments and the biggest takeaways after the first game of a weekend mini series between the Celtics and the Magic down in Orlando.

Anytime a Celtics player makes franchise history, you know it was a special night. Not only did one player make history Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards, but two did. Jaylen Brown had an MVP performance and Neemias Queta continued to show his growth and impact. Meanwhile, Payton Pritchard turned the game around during the second quarter, Josh Minott had a career night, and Jordan Walsh made a significant impact off the bench.

Utah grabbed an offensive rebound and put home a bucket with 0.6 seconds left to give the Utah Jazz a 105-103 win over the Boston Celtics. We relive the final seconds of the game, discuss what was Boston’s Achilles’ heel during this contest, and highlight Jaylen Brown nearly willing the Celtics into the winner’s circle.

On a rough night against Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets, Baylor Scheierman was the one bright positive for the Celtics. He scored a team-high 17 points and looked as confident as ever. We discuss his performance, plus some mind boggling stats from this game, after the Celtics fell 128-101.

Jaylen Brown had another 30-point game, and the Celtics got a clutch stop on the final possession to seal a win and deliver Philly its first loss of the season. We discuss how it all went down, our takeaways, and what the fans were saying after the win in tonight’s episode of SOUND OFF.

The Celtics knocked off last year’s No. 1 team in the East – and they did it with ease! How? Josh Minott and Neemias Queta had career nights on the glass, Jaylen Brown dropped 30 points, the C’s D shut down Donovan Mitchell, and eight players scored in double-figures during an impressive, blowout win over the Cavaliers.

Josh Minott made a difference from the opening tip during his first career start. He teamed up with Anfernee Simons, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser and Luka Garza to lead the Celtics to their first win of the season. We break down how Boston pulled ahead by as many as 32 points on a fun night in New Orleans.

Jaylen Brown went off for a season-high 41 points but it wasn’t enough to get the Celtics into the win column. We react to JB’s impressive start to the season, plus break down the impact of Hugo Gonzalez and Josh Minott and how rebounding issues are plaguing Boston early on this season.

Hugo Gonzalez drew praise from multiple broadcasters during his NBA debut. We cover his impressive performance, Payton Pritchard’s struggles, Boston’s need to protect the glass, and a whole lot more after the Celtics fell 105-95 to the Knicks at MSG.

Opening Night went down to the wire at TD Garden, where the Celtics fell 117-116 to the Sixers after failing to score on a couple of go-ahead shots during the final eight seconds. We break down the final moments, discuss Philadelphia’s stars of the night Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, and hear from the fans on what they’re thinking after the loss.

Xavier Tillman hit the game-winning shot with 0.8 seconds left to push the Celtics past the Toronto Raptors 110-108 in the preseason finale. That was the highlight of the night, but rookie Hugo Gonzalez continues to impress with his polished play, and Neemias Queta stood out with a dominant performance from the starting center position.

Josh Minott is proving that he might be the next diamond in the rough for the Celtics. Anfernee Simons is starting to lock in and show that he's one of the most dangerous shooters in the league. There's a lot for us to talk about after the Celtics upped their preseason record to 2-1 with a 37-point win over the Cleveland Cavaliers!

The Boston Celtics chose Hugo Gonzalez out of Real Madrid at No. 28, Amari Williams out of Kentucky at No. 46, and Max Shulga out of VCU at No. 57 during the 2025 NBA Draft. We dive into the background and skill sets of all three players, plus provide some context on why the Celtics chose them and why Boston traded the No. 32 pick of the second round in exchange for four second-round picks from the Orlando Magic. Fans also chime in on what they expect from the new players, and we preview the NBA Summer League which begins July 10.See omnystudio.com/listener...

Payton Pritchard outscored New York’s entire bench all by himself while the Celtics offense returned to its dominant ways while racking up 20 makes from long distance. A raucous crowd at Madison Square Garden did nothing to harm Boston – and actually may have done the opposite – as the ‘road dogs’ continued to pile up wins on the road this season. We’re sounding off on it all, including observations from start to finish of Game 3, to Kristaps Porzingis’ health, to what to expect in Monday’s Game 4.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Boston Celtics weren’t able to get a shot off at the end of overtime to potentially tie the game up and the New York Knicks outlasted them for a 108-105 win at TD Garden.

We’re sounding off on the final seconds of regulation, Boston’s offensive struggles, Jrue Holiday and Al Horford’s non-stats impact, and Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby carrying the Knicks to the win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jayson Tatum was in his bag Tuesday night as the Boston Celtics demolished the Orlando Magic to close out a gentleman’s sweep and advance to the second round.

We’re sounding off on Tatum’s performance, the moment the game changed when Jaylen Brown drew a fifth foul on Paolo Banchero, and on the vibes the Celtics are feeling as they await either the New York Knicks or Detroit Pistons in the next round.See omnyst...

The Celtics took a 3-1 series lead Sunday night thanks to a 16-7 run to close the game out. Jayson Tatum accounted for nine of those 16 points, including three off of yet another foul by Paolo Banchero on a Tatum 3. Boston’s superstar wing scored 37 points in the game, and he and Jaylen Brown combined to shoot 23-for-24 from the free-throw line. We’re sounding off on Boston’s increased aggression, the team’s defense led by Al Horford, and Boston being a league-best 20-2 on the season following a loss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The final 30 seconds of Game 3 were total chaos. Inadvertent whistles and game and shot clock concerns helped the Orlando Magic sneak out with a 95-93 win over the Boston Celtics. This was a defensive slugfest reminiscent of the early 2000s, with both teams struggling to score. We’re diving in and sounding off on everything that happened, including those final 30 seconds, before taking a few comments from our fans on what went down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jaylen Brown was unconscious during Game 2 and piled up a monster 36-point double-double to lead the Boston Celtics past the Orlando Magic despite Boston playing without superstar wing Jayson Tatum. Kristaps Porzingis also added in a 20-point double-double, and the C’s delivered clutch play across the board. We’re sounding off on the incredible atmosphere at TD Garden, and taking comments from the fans on Jrue Holiday’s dunk, the determination Boston is showing, and a balanced effort across the board.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Jays had an off night. No problem. Derrick White and Payton Pritchard were there to pick up the slack with a combined 49 points on 62 percent shooting! And Jrue Holiday was all over the court, asserting himself on defense and drilling 3-pointers. Those three players are the reasons why Boston was able to dominate this game while The Jays had an off night. We’re sounding off on that, plus the Celtics’ intensity and physicality, following the Game 1 win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It might seem as if the Celtics aren’t on the same level as last season, but you aren’t looking closely enough if you believe that. Boston logged its 61st win of the season Sunday to finish just three wins shy of last season’s torrid pace – all while having its starters available for 13 fewer games. We’re sounding off on the team’s impressive title defense, the upcoming postseason, and Payton Pritchard going off for 34 points while JD Davison and Jordan Walsh helped the Celts win in crunch time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another 60-win season for the Boston Celtics extends their NBA record over the Los Angeles Lakers.

They went after the New York Knicks at MSG and used their clutch gene to polish off a season sweep of their Atlantic Division rivals.

Let’s go!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two home games, two blowout wins. That’s what the Boston Celtics’ latest homestand looked like. The second win came Sunday night over the Washington Wizards, and it was in dominant fashion thanks to an extreme level of balance and production from the entire roster.

It was a night of brilliance from the Celtics, and we’re sounding off on it all right here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The No. 2 defense in the NBA had no answers for a Celtics offense that was missing Jaylen Brown and Al Horford on Friday night. Without those two stars, the C’s still managed to shoot 51 percent from the field and 49 percent from distance against the Houston Rockets. Derrick White (23 points) and Payton Pritchard (20 points) were big reasons why. Luke Kornet also gets a shout-out, and we preview what Sunday’s matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder might have in store.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Somehow, the Boston Celtics now have more 50-point wins this season than 10-point losses. Are you kidding?!

We dive into the win, which included the return of Jrue Holiday, and a fan dares to ask why the Celtics can’t play THIS GREAT every single night.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re sounding off tonight on a 123-114 loss by the Boston Celtics to the Indiana Pacers, as the Celtics showed inconsistencies compared to their 37-point win against this very same team two nights before.

That being said, Jaylen Brown scored another 31 points and the Celtics still had a chance to win the game during the fourth quarter. How did it slip away? We discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re sounding off tonight on where those struggles may be coming from as we head toward 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inside the same building where Michael Jordan’s historic career unfolded, Jayson Tatum logged his own history Saturday night.

Chicago nearly matched Boston in 3-point attempts, and the Bulls made theirs at a much higher clip. What is there to take away from this one? Should fans hit the panic button? Should the Celtics attempt fewer 3-pointers? Is it revenge time for Boston Saturday night in Chicago? We discuss it all right here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sound off with us on a 24-point win that featured not one, but TWO Boston Celtics making as many 3-pointers individually as the entire Detroit Pistons team. Those players were Payton Pritchard, who put together one of his most complete games of the season, and Derrick White, who continued his excellent campaign. This win has one of our fans making a bold prediction about the NBA Playoffs, while others wanted to discuss Pritchard’s growth and the Celtics taking advantage of their time off from the NBA Cup thanks to elite depth.

With the Boston Celtics playing for the sixth time in nine nights, it was the Memphis Grizzlies were the more physical team throughout a win at TD Garden.

The Boston Celtics beat the Detroit Pistons by 10 despite Detroit logging a season-best shooting performance from 3-point range. That’s because Boston’s unstoppable offense still managed to make more 3-pointers than the red-hot Pistons, all while playing without Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday. That’s thanks to Jaylen Brown’s passing and the elite shooting of Sam Hauser (5 3PM), Payton Pritchard (5 3PM), Al Horford (4 3PM) and Kristaps Porzingis (3 3PM).

We’re sounding off tonight on a cold stretch of offense that came back to haunt the Celtics, as Donovan Mitchell took over during the fourth quarter to lead a come-from-behind win for the Cavaliers. This is the second time these two teams have played this season, and the second time the game has come down to the final minute. With that, we’ve also seen some very slow play during the final minute, which has one of our fans suggesting to the league that something needs to change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally, the big man has returned! Kristaps Porzingis returned to the lineup for his first game of the 2024-25 season and he looked great as he helped the Celtics demolish the LA Clippers. Porzingis was great, but it was Boston’s ridiculous 3-point shooting that dominated from start to finish. Payton Pritchard was doing his best Steph Curry impression all night as the Celtics pulled away for a 32-point win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jaylen Brown ended the game just like he started it – by dropping in buckets from long range over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He hit five in the first 3:34 of the game, then drained one with 1:16 left to account for the game’s deciding points. Boston secured the win with a stop on the final possession of the night. But still, some Celtics fans are questioning the offense and defense, and another isn’t liking the win. Why? We dive into it all in the latest episode of SOUND OFF.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Boston Celtics had two opportunities during the final five seconds to win their NBA Cup opener against the Atlanta Hawks, but neither Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were able to give Boston the walk-off win. The Celtics didn’t look like themselves while taking on a Hawks team that was missing three of its top players in All-Star Trae Young, as well as De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic, as Boston committed a season-high 20 turnovers and allowed Atlanta to grab 20 offensive boards.
