Boston Celtics concern level, following Jayson Tatum's lead, & Joe Mazzulla coaching them out of this mess: The Celtics aren't exactly peaking at the right time, and that's raising everyone's concern levels. That includes some of the more level-headed analysts out there. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Chad Finn of the Boston Globe discuss their anxiety levels over the Celtics, how everything starts with Jayson Tatum, even when Jaylen Brown has it going, and Joe Mazzulla's ability to coach them out of this mess... especially after Damon Stoudemire's departure.

Boston Celtics lost in OT - AGAIN- and collapse -AGAIN- but they know how to fix it: The Celtics were short handed (no Jayson Tatum, Robert Williams, or Al Horford) but Jaylen Brown was great and the Celtics built another big lead. And then... well... same old story. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses the Celtics third straight collapse, and answers Joe Mazzulla's question about "who are we when we're at our best." The Celtics know what that looks like and they have those answers, because these are the same problems Brad Stevens addressed after the Finals. It's now up to the team to commit to them.

Boston Celtics win, Jaylen Brown scores 35, but it still wasn't pretty: The Celtics won in Minnesota, but it wasn't pretty. Jaylen Brown scored 35, but Jayson Tatum was up and down on their way to a 2-point win.

Plus, the fourth quarter execution needs to be fixed and it's getting beyond frustrating. Also, why Marcus Smart's 3-point shooting seems to be a product of Joe Mazzulla's coaching.

Boston Celtics finally play like themselves again in blow out of Sacramento Kings: It's been a while since the Celtics offense has looked this good. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 63 points, Derrick White was slinging dimes, and the offense was in attack mode for most of the game. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses the win, why the team was fully aware of how poorly they were playing, why this is the kind of game where Tatum looks like an MVP, and why Joe Mazzulla's decision to not start Robert Williams could be a signal that he's not going to go with double bigs moving forward.

Is Joe Mazzulla sending Grant Williams a message about what Boston Celtics need from him?: Grant Williams got his second DNP-coach's decision of the month (and effectively, it's three), with his minutes going to Blake Griffin instead.

Looks like the 2nd seed for Boston Celtics. They don't seem to mind ... should we?: The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Pacers, meaning they have a three game lead with six games left. That basically locks up the top seed for the Bucks and pushes the Celtics to the second seed regardless of what happens Thursday night. The Celtics don't seem to be bothered by this, despite what Malcolm Brogdon said, but a lot of fans are. Should we be? Is it our own fault for caring too much about the top seed?
