The Boston Celtics are a great NBA and storied franchise. They play their home games at TD Garden. My favorite current players are Payton Pritchard and Jaylen Brown. I hope that Jayson Tatum can return soon. Their best players of all time are Bill Russell, Larry Bird, and John Havlicek. I hope that I can see rhe Celtics play one day. read more

Terrible that we pay so much money to come watch a game and every player is sitting with rest or fake injuries. People spend hard earned money to come drive hours to watch. Not fair at all. And I will never waste money again on tickets read more

I haven't rated NBA teams on Yelp as consistently as I have teams from other professional sports leagues (e.g., NFL, MLB, NHL). My Yelp ratings for NBA teams have been more subjective, in terms of how much I like the teams. If I was more objective, the Boston Celtics would get five stars because they're currently tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most NBA titles won (17). I wasn't alive for the Bill Russell era, 1956-1969, when the Celtics won a staggering 11 championships. Red Auerbach was the head coach for nine of those titles. I was too young to appreciate the Larry Bird era, 1979-1992, but I remember it. Bird played his entire 13-year NBA career for Boston and won three titles (1981, 1984, 1986). Our family had the One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird video game for the Atari 7800 (released in 1987): https://youtu.be/n1xE02rxyWo. I learned basic basketball rules from it. The Boston Celtics I'm most familiar with are the much less successful - relatively speaking - Celtics of the 90s and onward. Coach Rick Pitino (1997-2000) had zero playoff appearances. He was hoping to get Tim Duncan in the 1997 NBA Draft. How weird would that have been? I got EA Sports' NBA Live 99 for the Nintendo 64 (released in 1998). Antoine Walker was the cover star and his signature shimmy made it into the game: https://youtu.be/z6d7UA9_VxU?t=15. Walker would lead the Celtics as far as the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals. He later won an NBA title with Pat Riley, Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O'Neal, and the Miami Heat in 2006. The Celtics have always been a popular NBA team due to their championship history and market size. The NBA loves the Celtics and so do the networks (ABC, ESPN, TNT). They're on TV a lot. But, the Celtics have only won one title since 1986, in 2008 with Doc Rivers, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo. In that era, circa 2010, the Celtics had the first "Big Three" "super team" in Pierce, Allen, and Garnett. That was before Miami Heat's Big Three of Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh formed in 2010. A couple things about that 2008 team: (1) One of my favorite teams, the Atlanta Hawks, pushed the championship Celtics to seven games in the first round. It was really exciting for Atlanta at the time because we had missed the playoffs the previous eight years. Al Horford was one of my favorite players on that Hawks team. Horford would later help lead the Celtics to the 2022 NBA Finals. (2) I remember watching Garnett's "Anything is possible!" live. It made me cringe, but it became a part of sports history and American pop culture: https://youtu.be/avaSdC0QOUM?t=130. I like the players on today's Celtics team. Like the dynastic Golden State Warriors since 2009, the core of today's Celtics team was built through the draft. Jaylen Brown (2016), Marcus Smart (2014), Jayson Tatum (2017), Grant Williams (2019), and Robert Williams III (2018) were all drafted by the Celtics. I was already a fan of Horford from his days with the Hawks. Horford is a winner, as evidenced in-part by his back-to-back NCAA championships at Florida (2006-2007). I'm also a fan of Derrick White from his time with the San Antonio Spurs (2017-2022). As a Spurs fan, I was sad to see guys like him and Dejounte Murray leave San Antonio recently. Last week, the Celtics traded away Smart for Kristaps Porzingis. At that time, Smart had been on the Celtics the longest, was a team leader and fan favorite, and had just won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award (2022). That said, after losing in the NBA Finals last year and the Eastern Conference Finals this year, it was time for a change. I think Porzingis is good. This means nothing to the Celtics, but stats-wise, he was a beast for my fantasy team last season. At TD Garden, the Celtics' home court is known for its parquet floor. The only other NBA team to have a parquet floor is the Orlando Magic. The college team I grew up rooting for, Wake Forest, also has a parquet floor (Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina). read more

The Boston Celtics are a ROCKING team! I was in Boston for business, and my colleague and I thought it would be fun to stop in and watch Round 3 of the NBA Playoffs. We were fortunate enough to find a couple of ticket$ from the box office. What a TREAT! The team is good and they beat the Miami Heat that night! Excellent sportsmanship from the Celtics! I enjoyed watching the team take down LeBron James. I even purchased a "LeBron is a Bitch" shirt from the streets to get into the mood of the game! The arena is your typical professional basketball / hockey arena. But the Boston crowds really know how to enjoy sports (Well, most of them, as one of the fans tried to pick a fight with me and my colleague). From the West Coast - I'm a new fan of this East Coast team! GOOOO Celtics! read more

Boston Celtics - Game 3 - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Yelp actually has a page dedicated to the Boston Celtics? Really? Ok, I'm in. I grew up watching The C's, they are easily my favorite NBA team. My childhood story would be incomplete without mentioning #33. Larry Bird was my sports hero growing up. He represented all that was right with the league and the world of sports. The steal in '87 versus Detroit is still my favorite memory. I also have the upmost respect for Russell and Auerbach. It goes beyond the number of titles. They were pioneers of the NBA. What they meant and represented for the league will never be matched. There is no other franchise in the NBA with as rich a history and mystique as that of the Celtics. read more

What an experience I would never forget to be able to share with my son our very first live basket ball game. Went on a Monday night. 2/26/18 we played the Grizzlies. We got chicken tenders from some food spot. And pop corn from another spot I didn't look at names. Just look and see what they served. Both times they didn't accept cash so I had to use my card. And they also ask on the key pad if u want to tip them or not. I was generous so that didn't bother me, but what bothered me is why some don't accept cash and some do. A cup of beer was $11.50 (bud light). I suggest taking the T in, way cheaper and easier to commute then to drive in. Parking is very expensive. I rather use that parking money on food and drinks instead. Overall we had a great time and want to go back for another Celtics game. We won 109-98 read more

I have a bucket list to visit to visit every NBA arena. So far I've only hit up a handful of arenas. This is a quality arena but does need some updating. The seats are in need upgrading, the scoreboard is just average and the soundsystem is a little above average. Just a few negatives but overall the effort the Celtics organization puts into putting on a game / show is 1st class. The fans of a sports organization really add to the overall experience and Celtics fans are great in supporting their team and keeping the atmosphere in the TD Garden super exciting. This is a must visit for any NBA fan. read more

Boston Celtics - 2/28/2018 Celtics vs Hornets - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

#388-2016: I have been a Celtics fan since as far as I can remember (we are talking about single digits age) so those of you who wanna argue I am not really entitled to review because it isn't a personal experience, back up nice and slow. I may have not been around when the team was founded (1946) and was part of the 23 teams in the NBA league. I may only be able to quote the statistics from the bottom of my Green Celtics heart.. such as the number of times Celtics played the Lakers (12) and the times they won (9) . I can safely state that one of my early heroes was Larry Bird, who was drafted in 1978 and remained loyal to the team until his retirement in 1992. He was part of the marvellous US basketball team that won the gold medal in the 1992 summer Olympics. But the Celitcs can brag about other players who, along with Larry, have won the NBA most valuable player such as Bob Cousy, Bill Russel and Dave Cowens. In a sport where athletes have always been predominantly black, the Celitcs stood out as the only all-white team for a couple of decades, sparking some pretty harsh comments. To me, they but reflected the vast majority of the local population (of Irish descent). When I was a teenager, I sported many a Celitcs sponsored clothing items and I even managed to visit their playing grounds during one of my visits to Boston. Sadly, Larry had already retired a few years earlier. My unconditional love for this team keeps making my basketball heart bleed green. read more

For my 1000th review, I had to pick something really special - so what better than... my hometown Boston Celtics. They are kicking butt with 18 wins in a row already and won the NBA championship last season after 20 miserable years after the Larry Bird era. Very well deserved for us loyal fans who have endured all those pathetically bad years. Bottom line: Garnett. Pierce. Allen. Bird. Go Green! read more

Great experience coming to this stadium. Nothing like Boston pride. I love this city and this is our team

Dear Boston Celtics, HELL TO THE YEAH! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about. You must have read my review before you played! ;) I'm so proud of you guys! No more of this "they're a young team" BS. You guys became men last night. You pulled together and defeated the evil warlock and his small eared minion (Kobe, obv). You never settled.. even when you were up 30.. you pushed on through and THAT'S what a strong team is. You didn't rest until you knew that the game was yours (and I didn't rest until the last 45 seconds in the game). To Doc, your dad would be so proud of you. So many would hide under a rock when tragedy hits, but you persevered and there's nothing in the world he would have wanted than for you to go on strong. Pierce, THAT'S what a team captain is supposed to be.. congratulations on MVP. KG, you crazy muthatrucka. Allen, what a sweet sweet 3 pointer.. way to come to work and leave your troubles at home. Rondo, whenever you stole that ball all I could think of was "mine mine mine".. and to the rest of the Boston Celtics.. way to play.. 131 - 92. DAYUMMMMMMM. Y'all almost earned your paychecks this season. ;) Can you kick a 5 spot to your favorite Filipino? No? Cool cool.. I get paid on Friday anyway. And NOW..

The Celtics have been my team since the Second Wave Glory Days of Bird v. Magic. I still have two Celtics shirts that I wear regularly that I've owned since I was 8 years old. I'd been trying to think of what business I would review for my 400th review, and I can't think of a better one than my Celtics. However, I'm writing this review more for the 2011 playoff team than the franchise as a whole. In particular, game three against the Heat. I was live tweeting the game (@luketoney), along with I'm sure thousands of others, and I tweeted at the start of the game that the Celtics might be older, but they have something the Heat doesn't...they're a better team unit. They proved that point with poise during game three. The Celtics have always been the greatest team in the NBA. The reason for this is that they play team ball. Even their stars are unselfish. While the superstar syndrome of the NBA makes for flashy plays and good highlight reels, there's no basketball game I'd rather watch than one featuring a team working together as a cohesive unit. Game three showed everything the Celtics stand for...teamwork, tenacity, fight, defense, selflessness. Rondo was amazing. Unlike Lebron during his tenure with the Cavs, Rondo recognizes playoff opportunities as a time you do not give up. James would have been out for multiple games with a similar injury (and has in the past). He lacks the heart, and that's why he doesn't deserve to brute force his way to a ring. The Celtics were ultimately knocked off, but they fought the entire time. Even their losses were too close for Heat comfort. That's my team. Same as it ever was. read more

Wow. Thank you Celtics.

That team intensity is why the Celtics put it all together with the summer trades. So WOOOOOOOOOOH! read more

Dear Boston Celtics, Watching you win it all from section 323 was the single most amazing moment of my life. I sat through eight glorious years of your games in those seats missing you only twice, and even when you were bad, I loved you. It pains me that you raised your ticket prices and I can now only see you but a few times a year. Just know that you are always on my television and in my heart. I anxiously await our date this coming Wednesday for your home opener against Charlotte. Perhaps one day I will make my millions and become a season ticket holder once more, but until then, try not to miss me too much. All my love, Amanda read more

I would actually be a fan if the other fans in this city for all of Boston's sports teams weren't diehard, blind idiots. Celtics are ONLY good this year because of the blockbuster trade, and extremely surprising to me is that people are starting to deny that.

5 stars because I'm a Boston sports fan, but the Celtics really do suck. Sorry Jeff D. but Antoine is gone, he was only rented to make a playoff run late last year. I have don't have high hopes for the future of this organization. Danny Ainge has to be the most enigmatic GM in the NBA. Just when you think things are looking up, he'll do something boneheaded like get rid of Antoine again. I wouldn't be surprised if Paul Pierce was traded sometime soon. He can't be happy playing for this bunch of losers. They do have a bunch of $10 seats for the games, which is a welcome relief from the other sports clubs in the area. read more

I was lucky enough to attend the Spurs game which was sold-out and came away wondering why I paid $25 for my seat. Where is the team spirit as the fans seemed pretty tame and on occasion bored as they watched their team win.
