We're hearing big things about the two players the Boston Celtics chose in the 2026 NBA Draft: Chris Cenac Jr. at No. 27, and Dillon Mitchell at No. 40. We detail everything being said about these two guys, and what they bring to the table for Boston, in special NBA Draft edition of SOUND OFF.

It's time to react to a Game 7 for the ages between the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers. Joe Mazzulla was using Jedi mind tricks throughout the game and that helped to make it feel like the Celtics were just a shot away from pulling off the comeback, upset win. Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and Neemias Queta delivered for Boston, but so too did Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey for Philadelphia. Let's break it all down, including just how magical and unexpected this season was for the Celtics.

Philadelphia has forced a winner-take-all Game 7 after rattling off consecutive wins with its back against the wall. What’s our first reaction to a looming Game 7? What stood out in Game 6 that needs to change Saturday? We dive into it all here.

Joel Embiid looked like MVP-Embiid during Game 5, but he had plenty of help as Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Quentin Grimes all delivered great games for the 76ers as well. Meanwhile, after Boston led 78-70 late in the third quarter, its offense went ice cold down the stretch. You won’t believe how long the team went without scoring a field goal during the fourth quarter.

A week ago Philly fans were chanting, “We want Boston!” Just tonight they thought they had a chance to even the series up now that their former MVP, Joel Embiid, was back in the lineup. Well Payton Pritchard, Jayson Tatum and the rest of the Celtics ripped the heart out of those fans during Game 4 by demolishing the Sixers by 32 points. What was the game plan? How did this happen? Let’s discuss.

The Celtics needed to come through in the clutch in order to pull off a win on the road Friday night in Philly. They delivered on that need, as Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum all gave Boston huge moments during a critical Game 3 win. We dive into the importance of the win – which might be more significant than meets the eye – plus dive into all of the clutch play that has teed the Celtics up nicely for Sunday’s Game 4.

They were counted out and overlooked – again. Sunday was supposed to be a blowout. The Orlando Magic had everything to play for. The Boston Celtics had nothing to play for (at least seeding-wise). Nearly all of Boston’s top players were out. Orlando was completely healthy. And what did the Celtics do? They shocked the NBA world with an incredible victory on the final night of the season to throw a wrench into the play-in tournament. Show some love for Baylor Scheierman, Ron Harper Jr., Luka Garza and John Tonje, who all had career nights in the perfect exclamation point to end a magical regular season.

Think about what the Boston Celtics were perceived to be before training camp. Now recognize what they are today: the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Friday’s blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans, which featured not one, but TWO historic NBA achievements, locked in the Celtics’ playoff position. Their offense was unstoppable. And Nikola Vucevic? He’s baaaack!

Baylor Scheierman was as impressive as ever Thursday night in New York, coming off the bench for 20 points that gave the Celtics a chance to win on a night when Jaylen Brown was out with injury. We dive into Scheierman’s performance, the importance of Jayson Tatum’s emotional return to MSG, and what went wrong for Boston down the stretch.

It’s that time of year folks! Joe Mazzulla used Tuesday night’s matchup with the Charlotte Hornets as an opportunity to stretch out the minutes of Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Derrick white, all of whom played the entire fourth quarter to spur a game-changing run. It’s another win by the Celtics against another red-hot team – which seems to be the norm of late - even while LaMelo Ball went off for a game-high 36 points. We discuss, plus dive into the dynamic of Nikola Vucevic and Luka Garza and their roles in the rotation right now.
