Aron Baynes compares last year’s Celtics team to 2012-13 Spurs
Aron Baynes played for the 2012-13 San Antonio Spurs, a team that nearly won a championship before losing in heartbreaking fashion to LeBron James’ Miami Heat. Waxing nostalgic, Baynes couldn’t help but notice how eerily similar his 2017-18 Boston Celtics team was to his Spurs team back then, according to ESPN’s Chris Forsberg. The teams had […] The post Aron Baynes compares last year’s Celtics team to 2012-13 Spurs appeared first on ClutchPoints.

What’s next for the Celtics roster?
The big moves are done, but Danny Ainge still has work to do The Boston Celtics offseason hasn’t been the blockbuster that the 2017 summer was, but it was still efficient and productive. The Celtics re-signed key rotation players Aron Baynes and Marcus Smart. The team also re-signed Jabari Bird, after he impressed while playing on a Two-Way contract as a rookie. Boston added Robert Williams III at the 2018 NBA Draft. And they’ve inked Walt Lemon Jr. to a Two-Way contract and reportedly will sign P.J. Dozier to their second Two-Way spot. While none of those moves makes headlines outside...

Rumor: 76ers vs. Celtics will tip off next season on October 16th
A rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference semis could be slated for Opening Night. Here’s the scoop from The Globe’s Gary Washburn: Hearing there's a good chance TNT season-opening slate will be #Sixers-#Celtics and #Thunder-#Warriors on Oct. 16— gary washburn (@GwashburnGlobe) August 1, 2018 With LeBron James now in Los Angeles, the Eastern Conference is wide open so it makes sense that the NBA would feature the two teams slotted to be the heirs of the throne. Jayson Tatum vs. Ben Simmons. Jaylen Brown vs. Markelle Fultz. Joel Embiid vs. Al Horford, Aron Baynes, and...

Summer film school: the case for starting Aron Baynes
It’s been widely assumed that Brad Stevens would start the same five players he did on Opening Night a year ago: Kyrie Irving, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Gordon Hayward, and Al Horford. With Irving and Hayward healthy and a year and under the belts of Brown and Tatum, that starting five could be special. It’s Boston’s version of the Death Lineup and could also close a lot of games. It’s tough to make a case against any of them to not start. The elephant--the gentle giant, the wall, All of Australia--in the room is Aron Baynes. Here’s just a quick statistical case for Baynesy...

Do the Celtics have enough minutes for Marcus Morris next season?
There’s a lot of talent on the Celtics and someone will get fewer minutes. Is Marcus Morris going to be satisfied with a reduced role? Last season Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Terry Rozier each proved that they are key rotation players on a contending team. Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving are returning to a team that also features critical veterans in Al Horford and Marcus Smart. Sprinkle in some Aron Baynes, Daniel Theis, and Semi Ojeleye and you’re not left with a lot of minutes. So where does Marcus Morris fit into this equation? You are welcome to add up the math as you see fit...

Boston Celtics ranked second in ESPN Power Rankings
Celtics are one of three Eastern Conference teams in the Top 10. In the latest ESPN power rankings, the Celtics were ranked right behind the Warriors as the second best team in the league and first in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics had one of the more snooze-worthy summers in the NBA, electing to simply bring back the same core from last season by re-signing defensive tone-setters Aron Baynes and Marcus Smart. And yet the Celtics will still emerge as one of the offseason winners because, with LeBron James heading west, and with Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward set to return from...
