A major change could be coming to the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics had a season full of disappointment in 2021, but no one was more disappointed -- or disappointing -- than point guard Kemba Walker.
A disappointing and frustrating season by the Boston Celtics has come to an end, and now what should be an interesting offseason can begin.
The Celtics' season ended Tuesday night with a 123-109 loss to the Brooklyn Nets in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.
Richard Jefferson saw what Kevin Garnett said about Kyrie Irving, and Jefferson didn't like it.
It's not going to get any easier for the Celtics as the team looks to stave off elimination against the Nets. Kemba Walker and Robert Williams are both listed as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 in Brooklyn.
After stomping all over the Celtics in Brooklyn's Game 4 win in Boston on Sunday night, Nets star Kyrie Irving celebrated by stomping on the Celtics logo at midcourt after the game. That isn't sitting well with Kevin Garnett.
In addition to a fan who allegedly threw a bottle at Kyrie Irving, another man is charged with assaulting an officer inside TD Garden.
The odds are stacked against the Celtics, who now find themselves in a 3-1 series hole against the incredible talented Brooklyn Nets.
Police have identified the fan who allegedly threw a plastic water bottle at Kyrie Irving as Braintree resident Cole Buckley.
The Celtics lost to the Nets Sunday night, and Kyrie Irving had a parting gesture for TD Garden before heading off the floor.
Kyrie Irving scored 39 points and Kevin Durant scored 42 points to give the Brooklyn Nets a 141-126 victory over Boston on Sunday night and a 3-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.
The Celtics shook off a cold start and took Game 3 on Friday night, 125-119, on a playoff career-high 50 points from Jayson Tatum to make it a 2-1 series.
Kyrie Irving was booed anytime he did anything on Friday night, his first game at TD Garden in front of Celtics fans since his unceremonious departure for Brooklyn in 2019.
Prior to the Celtics and the Nets tipping off Game 3 of their playoff series at TD Garden on Friday night, Celtics guard Jaylen Brown shared his powerful perspective on racism in Boston and the United States.
Celtics forward Tristan Thompson has obviously seen the news, but he's not particularly worried about having anyone spitting on him. In fact, he outright dared people to try.
After two disheartening losses in Brooklyn, the Celtics are looking to turn things around with the series shifting to Boston. But if they want any shot against a Nets team led by three future Hall of Famers, they know it needs to start on the defensive end.
Asked about Kyrie Irving's comments about Boston fans, Celtics guard Marcus Smart said that he is hoping that the Boston crowd will treat all players -- whether they're in a Celtics or a Nets uniform -- with respect.
Celtics forward Jayson Tatum practiced on Thursday and is good to go for Friday night's must-win Game 3 against the Brooklyn Nets.
Fans are going to want to boo and heckle Kyrie Irving when he returns to TD Garden. But maybe the silent treatment would be their best revenge.
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens didn't try to rebut or dismiss anything that Kyrie Irving said about Boston.
They look like a team ready to get swept out of the playoffs, bringing a dreadful season to an unceremonious end.
Jayson Tatum played just 21 minutes in Tuesday night's 103-108 Celtics loss to the Nets, leaving early in the third quarter after getting poked in the eye by Brooklyn forward Kevin Durant.
Kyrie Irving said "the whole world knows" about what he calls "subtle racism" that takes place at TD Garden.
The Celtics were no match for the star-studded Nets in Game 2.
