Boston Celtics vs. Portland Trail Blazers: Stream, lineups, injury reports, broadcast (3/23)
The Celtics look to extend their current win streak to 4 games while perhaps getting a few players some rest for the looming 2025 NBA Playoffs. The Blazers, on a 4-game win streak of their own, will likely continue to make a late push for a play-in spot after recent success hints it is on the table. Boston ought to win this tilt easily if they take Portland seriously, but the Trail Blazers have recently beaten teams as good as the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies.

Wyc Grousbeck stepping down as Celtics governor
Wyc Grousbeck is out as the controlling governor of the Boston Celtics according to ESPN's Shams Charania and Ramona Shelburne. When he first put the team for sale on July 1st, 2024, Grousbeck said he hoped to control the team through the 2027-28 season even after the sale was completed. In the press release of the sale in March, the team announced that Grousbeck would have control through the 2027-28 season. Chisholm agreed to pay $6.1 billion for the team when the sale was agreed to in March. He will now take over full control of the Celtics when the transfer is approved by the NBA's Board of Governors within the next couple of weeks. My two cent:, this isn't a huge surprise. Chisholm was always going to be the final decision maker regardless of who was tabbed as the governor of the team because he is going to be writing the checks. I am sure Grousbeck saw that writing on the wall and decided to just hand the title of governor over as well. CelticsBlog alum Keith Smith, put it best: Thus, this puts to bed the Grousbeck era where the Celtics won two titles, made the Finals four times and only missed the playoffs twice since 2007. It ushers in a new era with new ownership that Celtics fans can only hope will be as successful as the last one.

Wyc Grousbeck will reportedly step down as Celtics' lead governor, handing reins to Bill Chisholm after team sale
Current Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck will no longer serve as lead governor following the team's pending $6.1 billion sale, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday. Pending owner Bill Chisholm, a managing partner at Symphony Technology Group, will instead assume the title of lead governor. It's unclear whether the move is a change from the previously reported plan. When reports of the team's sale to Chisholm emerged in May, it was announced Grousbeck would remain the team's governor for three more seasons before handing things over the Chisholm. "[Chisholm] has asked me to run the team as CEO and Governor for the first three years, and stay on as his partner, and I am glad to do so," Grousbeck's statement read at the time. There's enough ambiguity there to suggest this may have always been the plan. Grousbeck's original statement doesn't mention "lead governor," but does mention he would stay on as a partner for a few years. It sounds like that will still be the case. Grousbeck is giving up his "lead governor" title, but will remain the team's alternate governor and CEO through 2028. When the sale was announced in May, Grousbeck had nothing but good things to say about Chisholm, calling him a "terrific person and a true Celtics fan." Grousbeck, with the help of an investment firm, purchased the Celtics for $360 million in 2002. He served as the team's CEO and lead governor most recently. To the surprise of many, Grousbeck announced in 2024 that he was looking to sell his majority stake in the team. The announcement came just weeks after the Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA championship. It didn't take too long for a deal to come together. Just months later, Grousbeck announced the franchise's sale to Chisholm. The sale was announced for $6.1 billion, a North American record at the time.

Former Boston Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeck will no longer stay on as governor
Former Boston Celtics majority owner and CEO Wyc Grousbeck will no longer stay on as Governor of the team once the transfer of ownership to the group led by private equity investor Bill Chisholm has been approved by the NBA, per recent reporting from ESPN senior writer Shams Charania. The sale of the Celtics, which broke records at the time for the valuation of an NBA franchise at $6.1 billion, was also remarkable in that it had provisions within it that would have allowed Grousbeck to retain a position as the team's lead governor and CEO. Skepticism abounded in league media circles once that aspect of the deal was made public in light of how things went with Mark Cuban when he sold his own controlling shares of the ball club, and it seems that skepticism was justified. The reasoning behind the change is not known to the public at present, with Charania only relating that "Grousbeck will no longer stay on as governor as part of the Boston Celtics' $6.1 billion sale to Bill Chisholm," and that the plan "had been for Grousbeck to remain through 2028." The ESPN reporter also notes that "Chisholm assumes (the) governor title and the transfer will be finalized soon." Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube:
