We're making one last ditch effort here to get Rajon Rondo into the All Star game. Step 1: Get Ray Allen to take a week off to rest his thumb. Sit tonight. Skip the All Star game. Get ready for the playoffs. Step 2: Hire those two dudes with Bo Staffs to shake down David... [More]

The flu bug that made its way through the Celtics locker room has apparently been followed by the thumb injury bug. Seriously… what the hell is up with two Celtics guards getting thumb injuries within days of each other? Luckily, this only affects guys named "Allen"… so this should be the end of it. And... [More]

Except for the 4th quarter, the Celtics offense was painful to watch. Too much dribbling, not enough passing. 40-something percent shooting doesn't help either. But then Eddie (12 pts) started draining 3s, Leon (11 pts, 5 reb) started rebounding and dunking, and the ball started moving (Rondo 11 assists). The refs also started blowing the... [More]

The short version of this: LeBron was called for a foul in a tie game with 0.1 seconds left. Indy hits one free throw. In the process of the second free... [More]

I'm having a very hard time getting over the loss of P.J. Brown (Don't you just love how he's muscling Ben Wallace in this photo?). Maybe it's because Patrick O'Bryant sucks. Maybe it's because the Celtics aren't the clear-cut, most dominant team in the NBA. And it will only hurt to see PJ in the... [More]
February 11, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized According to Marc Spears Tommorow night, West All-Star guard Chris Paul and the Hornets (29-19) host the defending champion Celtics (41-11). But after missing the previous three games with a sprained right foot, the two-time All-Star told The Globe he is uncertain whether he will play. Paul averages of 21.5 points, 10.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds... [More]
