Baylor Scheierman on Jayson Tatum welcoming him to Boston Celtics

Baylor Scheierman on Jayson Tatum welcoming him to Boston Celtics It was not all that long ago that star forward Jayson Tatum was the new guy on the team, soaking up the advice from Boston vets on the roster and alumni around the team. Now, the St. Louis native finds himself with the tables turned, Tatum having helped the incoming players to the Celtics at the start of last season. One such player, shooting guard Baylor Scheierman, opened up about how that went in a recent interview with Celtics Blog's Noa Dalzell. "The first day I stepped foot into the practice facility, he was there signing his new contract," said Scheierman of his experience meeting the Duke alum. "And just from the jump, he was always there for me to talk to." "I asked him about Summer League and what to expect, and he shared everything and gave me some advice on how I should go about it," added the Creighton alum. "And it's just how he's been the whole year." Tatum may need to shift into something of an extremely well-paid assistant coach for much if not all of the 2025-26 season as he recovers from a torn Achilles sustained in the 2025 East Semis if he wants to help his younger teammates grow into the best versions of themselves with his on-court capabilities currently suspended. But from the sounds of things, the Celtics star was already doing that to begin with.

What went wrong for the Boston Celtics vs. the New York Knicks in the 2025 East Semis?

What went wrong for the Boston Celtics vs. the New York Knicks in the 2025 East Semis? What went wrong for the Boston Celtics vs. the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals? The Celtics fell in six games to the Knicks after a litany of injuries to Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and others derailed Boston's defense of their 2024 NBA Championship in surprising fashion. But it was not just health concerns that had the Celtics crash out of contention for the '25 title. From the deep rotation to the coaching, there are things one can point to that could have gone better for Boston. What might have been changed to salvage the season, if anything? Cohosts of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning and Noa Dalzell, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

How Boston Celtics fans dealt with the end of their favorite team's title defense

How Boston Celtics fans dealt with the end of their favorite team's title defense Fans of the Boston Celtics had high hopes for their favorite ball club this season as the Celtics set out to defend their 2024 NBA title. But as we all now know all too well, those plans came screeching to a halt when the New York Knicks defeated Boston in six games in their 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series. The injury to star forward Jayson Tatum's Achilles tendon has cast a long shadow over the storied ball club's looming offseason, which likely had Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens making some tough decisions about the team even before the injury went down. But for now, most fans are still licking their wounds from the East Semis, and quite understandably so. The folks behind the "CBS Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at how Boston fans are processing the loss. Check it out below to hear for yourself.

Derrick White on how the Boston Celtics will change in the offseason

Derrick White on how the Boston Celtics will change in the offseason One of the hardest things about the end of any NBA season for fans of the Boston Celtics is the knowledge that the particular version of the team will almost always be different by the start of the next campaign. But it is not just fans processing that after the final buzzer of the last game sounds. Celtics guard Derrick White shared a similar sentiment after the New York Knicks eliminated Boston in Game 6 of the 2025 East Semis. "It sucks," he said. "(We are) never going to get this season back, never going to have the exact same team again." The Celtics have become home to White, and he made that clear in his postgame presser. "I just love playing with the guys we have in that locker room (...) I think that's what I'll probably be the most proud of," he related. "Being able to say that I put on a Boston Celtics uniform with (an) amazing group of people." The folks behind the "CLNS Media Boston Sports Network" YouTube channel put together a clip of White's postgame interview. Check it out below!

Can the Boston Celtics win Game 5 with the Knicks without star forward Jayson Tatum?

Can the Boston Celtics win Game 5 with the Knicks without star forward Jayson Tatum? Can the Boston Celtics win Game 5 of their East Semis series with the New York Knicks without star forward Jayson Tatum? The St. Louis native ended up going down with an Achilles tendon tear late in Game 4 of the two Atlantic Division teams' 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series, and will now miss the rest of this and likely most or all of next season as a result. But the Celtics' current campaign to repeat as NBA champs is not dead yet, as daunting as the prospect of even winning the next game may be with all the other dings Boston players have also been dealing with in this series. Can the Celtics come back and make a fight of what is left of the East Semifinals? The folks behind the "NBA on ESPN" YouTube channel put together a clip from "Get Up" with Jay Williams, Alan Hahn and Udonis Haslem joining Mike Greenberg to talk it all over.
