Al Horford

For the first time in his 11-year career, Boston Celtics forward Al Horford has been honored for his defensive skills.

After going the distance in their opening round series, the Boston Celtics needed just five games in the second round to get back to the Eastern Conference Finals.

With the NBA's All-Star weekend firmly in the rear-view mirror, let's take a look at how the members of the Boston Celtics, who represented the team, fared.

The Boston Celtics dove head first into the free agent market yesterday, inking All-Star forward/center Al Horford to a four-year, $113 million max deal.

Al Horford ended the waiting game with a simple tweet: "Celtic Pride," it said, followed by 18 shamrocks. The number might not have been a coincidence. A franchise with 17 NBA championships may have gotten closer to contending for an 18th on Saturday, when Horford decided to accept a four-year, $113 million offer to join the Boston Celtics ...

The NBA's trade deadline has come and gone and, surprisingly, the Boston Celtics refrained not only from making any major moves but from making any moves at all, despite previous belief around the league.

The Boston Celtics have put together an impressive first half of the 2015-16 NBA season. As they approach the trade deadline, growing speculation has surrounded the team as they look to make upgrades that could help them in the postseason and beyond.
