Xavier Tillman’s Health and General Observations From Day 1 of Celtics Camp

Jackson Tolliver — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 00:11:44 +0000

BRIGHTON — Bobby Manning and Noa Dalzell recap the first day of 2024-25 Celtics practice! They discuss Xavier Tillman’s return after receiving surgery, Payton Pritchard’s offseason, Tatum’s jump shot changes, and more!

Tillman, who was acquired from the Celtics at last year’s trade deadline, signed a one-year extension this offseason to remain with the team. President of Basketball Ops Brad Stevens revealed yesterday that Tillman underwent a knee arthroscopy.

Xavier Tillman said he dealt with bad swelling throughout last year after games and he addressed it with surgery on July 30. He’s recovered well and is a full go for camp.

Celtics Sign Xavier Tillman to 2 Year Contract and Run It Back

Mackenzie Bruno — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 13:44:11 +0000

The Boston Celtics free agent forward Xavier Tillman has agreed to a two-year deal to return to the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN.

Tillman averaged 5.3 points and 3.9 rebounds last season. The Celtics continue to have a terrific post-season free agency, returning their entire starting five and key role players off the bench like Xavier Tillman and Luke Kornet.

CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning reacts to the move and discusses the team’s ability to sustain through the Kristaps Porzingis injury on the latest episode of The Garden Report. With this signing, the Celtics have now filled 14 of their 15 roster spots.

Tillman is on a league minimum deal, meaning that there was no pay bump required to keep the center. Last season Tillman dealt with a knee injury and did not play a ton of minutes, but he famously hit a shot in the Finals in the corner in Game 3 against the Dallas Mavericks.

“[The Celtics] have eight players signed through 2026 now when you consider Tillman. That could become nine if they extend Sam Hauser who’s eligible for an extension next week. So pretty amazing, this is rare. I can’t imagine this has happened very often in NBA history that you bring this many guys back from a championship team,” said CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning on the latest episode of The Garden Report Podcast.

Do Celtics or Mavs Have More Pressure to Win Game 5?

Mackenzie Bruno — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 15:55:39 +0000

The Dallas Mavericks fought back to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals as they faced elimination and a sweep by the Boston Celtics. Not only did the Mavericks win, they beat the Celtics 122-84 for the third largest victory in NBA Finals history.

Now the Celtics an Mavericks travel back to Boston for Game 5. If they Celtics win they hang banner number 18 and become the all-time winningest franchise in NBA history. If the Mavericks win, they survive another day and are only one game behind the Celtics in the Finals and force a game 6.

So, which team has more pressure to Win Game 5?

CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning and Noa Dalzell are at TD Garden to discuss the implications and pressures facing both teams as they prepare for a critical Game 5 in Boston during the latest episode of The Garden Report.

“Every mistake feels magnified. Every loose ball that you don’t get feels devastating and then that ripples into a bunch of loose balls that you don’t get. And then your sitting at home wondering how are they not playing hard in the finals? In reality there’s like a mental spill over effect from the mistakes that are being made,” said Dalzell.

Manning and Dalzell highlight some of the things that Xavier Tillman said during a Celtics press conference, touching upon the fact that the Celtics do not need to win Game 5. While most Celtics fans might not want to hear these words, the Celtics are still up by two games in these NBA Finals, and losing on Monday is not the end of the world.

The mental shift for the Celtics is their way of handling the pressure that they put on themselves to win Game 4 that ultimately had a negative effect on the team as a whole.

Dallas now has a little bit of confidence after their tremendous Game 4 performance, one that included them hitting shots and a variety of role players stepping up big time. With Luka and Kyrie hitting their stride, the toss up for which team has more pressure on them in Game 5 will come to fruition on Monday in Boston.
