Few Boston Celtics players have hit it off with the local fan base better than star big man Kristaps Porzingis has, but the Latvian center does not take the open-armed reception of his tenure with the storied ball club lightly. Embracing the history and high bar that comes with wearing a Celtics uniform, Porzingis has built a bond with the City of Boston and the fans of the team that has become a symbiotic relationship, helping to power the team in their efforts to repeat as champs this

The Boston Celtics are wrapping up their 2024-25 regular season as the 2025 NBA Playoffs draw near, and with that, thoughts are beginning to shift to what the Celtics may face in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. As they look to repeat as champs after beating the Dallas Mavericks in 2024, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast thought it might be a good idea to take the pulse of the West with a national journalist who recently wrote a book on the player that led his team to a finals berth last

Now that Boston Celtics majority owners Wyc and Irv Grousbeck have sold their shares to private equity billionaire Bill Chisholm, planning for the storied ball club's future under the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s harsh realities can begin in earnest, and Grousbeck's recent comments on how that may play out for any team (never mind Boston) has given us some clues for what the Celtics might look like as soon as next season.To get a better idea for ourselves how the team's front office

The Boston Celtics have reportedly sold for more money than any other pro sports team in the history of the world. Who is the new majority owner of the team, and what players make up his ownership group? What former minority owners will still be part of that group, and which ones are likely moving on? How will the sale impact the future of the team, where it plays, and if we look far enough ahead, even NBA expansion?How much, exactly, will the Celtics sell for in light of conflicting reports about

The Boston Celtics and the NBA are drawing closer to the end of the 2024-25 regular season, and with that, the likely winners of full-season awards are starting to come into focus. The Celtics, as reigning champs, are mostly focused on what they will need to do to put themselves in the best position possible to repeat as champions, but that does not mean that there are no end-of season honors awaiting members of the team. Reserve guard Payton Pritchard, for example, has widely been seen as a leader

The new Boston Celtics docuseries "Celtics City" is upon us, but what is it, and why is it like nothing that has come before? With nearly eight decades of history filled with more NBA titles (18, in fact) than any other club in league history and more regular season wins than any other team, it's safe to say that any documentary series attempting to encompass the history of the Celtics is taking on a massive task.And that is before we take into account the complex, and often fraught, history of the

The stretch run of the NBA's 2024-25 regular season is upon the Boston Celtics, who appear to be rounding into contention form after a rough stretch of play in the middle of their current campaign. What do the Celtics need to get sorted before the start of the 2025 NBA Playoffs?Which teams from the league's Eastern Conference should they be concerned about? Is there a team in the West that stands out as a likely NBA finals opponent? Are rest and health properly accounted for in the remainder of the

What should we take away from the event this year for the future, and what is left for the Boston Celtics to think about for the rest of the regular season now that All-Star Week is officially in the books?

If you ask Drew Hanlen, star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum's trainer, the man has plenty to say on the subject. So we did! This week, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn, linked up with Hanlen to talk about Boston's season so far, Hanlen's new book, and the trades currently sending shock waves through the NBA among

Which teams are gunning for major moves? Which ball clubs will look for medium-sized but impactful trades?And which East clubs will pull the trigger on retooling or rebuilding their rosters?

The depths of the NBA's winter doldrums are here, and with that comes rampant trade speculation. And while the Boston Celtics are unlikely to make any major trades given the strength of their roster and the restrictions put on the team by the league's new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), it is also widely expected that Boston will make a minor move or two to shave some hurt off their massive 2025 tax bill.There are also plenty of trade rumors out there that could shift the order of the

But now there is hand-wringing over the shot by analysts and fans of the team alike as Boston is currently in a bit of a funk from beyond the arc in recent weeks.Is the team shooting too many treys? Is such a thing even possible? Could it be that the wrong players are taking the shots? To get an

The trip will test Boston's mettle as they face tougher teams than most of the mostly Eastern Conference foes they have played thus far, just as they have shown some of the first signs of mortality since winning the title.

The Boston Celtics may be on a roll to open the 2024-25 season, but that doesn't mean there aren't things to nitpick. And what better day than Festivus to air some grievances about the Celtics? In what has become an annual tradition, the folks at CLNS Media's "Celtics Lab" podcast decided to unleash their inner Frank Costanza and speak the truth.

Fans of the Boston Celtics now find themselves in what is probably the dullest part of the NBA's 2024-25 regular season. At present, the Celtics are on the outside looking in with regard to the 2024-25 NBA Cup knockout round in Las Vegas, with a slate of mostly uninspiring opponents coming at Boston at a fairly relaxed pace in terms of the frequency of games. With that lethargic pace depressing the league's midseason news schedule a bit, we felt it a good moment to test the waters on Bluesky -- the

The Boston Celtics are the best team in the NBA thanks in large part to their depth, but the league's collective bargaining agreement and age will eventually force changes to the heavy-minutes players on Boston's roster in the next several seasons. Thankfully for the Celtics, they have most of their younger core players under contract beyond this season, and have several promising prospects already on the roster to help offset the inevitable exits Boston's roster will face.Taking a more granular
