Shawn Martin+FollowMy hottake: Bill Russell is the most overrated player of all timeIf Bill Russell played today, you’d probably mistake him for Bismack Biyombo. At 6'10", 215 lbs, he averaged 15.1 PPG on 44% shooting while playing 41 minutes a night, and only topped 17 PPG twice in his career. Sure, he won 11 rings… but that was in an era with 8–10 teams, barely any athletic bigs, and the Celtics had half the All-Stars in the league. I get the “defensive anchor” argument, but being the best player on the most stacked team doesn’t automatically make you an all-time great. So is Bill Russell a legendary winner? yes. Is he top 10 player ever? Not even close. #NBA #BillRussell #NBAUnpopularOpinion #Celtics #Boston 1928Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowCeltics Eye Keon Ellis After Blazers WinBig night for the Shamrocks as they took down the Blazers, but the real buzz is about a potential trade.

Let’s hear your takes, Celtics Nation! #Sports #Basketball #Celtics00Share

Williams got real about watching his old squad finally hang Banner 18, admitting it was bittersweet seeing his brothers win it all without him. The rivalry with his former team is alive, but the love from Boston was undeniable. Thoughts on the trade and seeing Rob back healthy? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics00Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowTatum: Would I Be a Grizzlies Legend?JT just dropped a spicy take on The Pivot Podcast—he thinks if he had his current career with the Grizzlies, there’d already be a statue of him outside FedExForum! Instead, he’s chasing legends like Larry Legend in Boston, where the bar is sky-high. Grizz fans, is Tatum right? Or is he underestimating the Grit & Grind legacy? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #Celtics00Share
Oscar Gonzalez+FollowJrue Holiday’s heartfelt tribute to Boston fansJrue Holiday’s return to TD Garden was more than just a game—it was a reminder of how much he meant to Boston, both on and off the court. He shared how being embraced by the city and its passionate fans left a lasting impact on him and his family. Even after being traded, Holiday praised the Celtics’ transparency and said he’s not surprised to see Boston thriving, crediting the team’s determination and the city’s unwavering support. It’s clear: Holiday’s legacy in Boston goes beyond basketball. How do you think a player’s connection to a city shapes a team’s culture? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics20Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowCeltics rookie Amari Williams turns headsAmari Williams just made a real statement for the Celtics, and it’s got people talking. Coming off the bench, the rookie center played nearly 26 minutes—no small feat on a team where playing time is tough to earn. Williams didn’t just rack up stats (9 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks); he showed real growth in the “little things,” like setting sharp screens and holding his own against Portland’s bigs. It’s a sign that Boston might have found another hidden gem. Do you think Williams could become a regular in the Celtics’ rotation? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics10Share
Brian Gaines+FollowCeltics fans: Home stretch could bring big returnsBoston’s four-game home stand is shaping up to be a turning point, with Josh Minott possibly suiting up after missing 11 games. That’s a big boost for a team that’s been juggling injuries and lineup changes. Neemias Queta is also questionable, but the good news is Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are expected to play. With the Celtics finally back at TD Garden, do you think Minott’s return could shake up the rotation or spark a win streak? Let’s hear your thoughts on how these lineup changes might impact the team’s momentum! #Sports #Basketball #Celtics00Share
summersivan+FollowCeltics Legend Pierce: 2000s Had More 'Aura'Did The Truth just spark the ultimate old school vs. new school NBA debate? Paul Pierce says his 2000s era—think Kobe, Shaq, AI—had way more 'aura' than today's stars. He claims fans HAD to tune in for legends like KG and Vince, while now only King James and Steph have that same pull. Do you agree with Pierce, or is the modern NBA just as electric? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics00Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowCeltics eye Gafford to fix frontcourt depthBoston’s playoff push could get a major boost if the Celtics land Daniel Gafford from Dallas. With Tatum’s health still up in the air and the East wide open, adding a proven, rim-protecting center like Gafford feels like the missing piece. He’s efficient, athletic, and fits perfectly next to Boston’s core—even if it means saying goodbye to Hauser and a first-round pick. Gafford’s energy and defense could be exactly what the Celtics need to get over the hump. Would you make this trade, or stick with the current squad? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics00Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowCeltics’ frontcourt faces big test vs NetsBoston’s frontcourt depth is about to be seriously tested as Neemias Queta, who’s been a breakout star this season, is now questionable with illness. With Derrick White resting and Jayson Tatum still rehabbing, the Celtics will lean on Luka Garza, who’s been efficient but sometimes struggles with foul trouble. If Garza can’t stay on the floor, we might see more of Xavier Tillman Sr. or rookie Amari Williams. Queta’s rise from fourth-string to Most Improved Player contender has been huge—can the Celtics keep up their momentum if he sits? What’s your take on Boston’s big man rotation right now? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics00Share
