It's finally here!! Christmas. You know what I love? The fact that the best Christmas gift for Celtics fans is merely the arrival of Christmas itself.

Hoops Addict has a tremendous interview with Bob Cousy today. It covers such a wide range of topics… his take on the championship team, race in sports, his family. It's a very thorough interview that I can't possibly do justice by excerpting. All I can say is every Celtics fan should take a few minutes... [More]
December 24, 2008 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized Now on Barstool Sports: I nearly spit out my Indian spice milk tea this morning upon seeing the line for tomorrow's game with the Lakers. Los Angeles minus 3. Seriously? Vegas knows all, but this line has me puzzled. 27-2. 19 in a row. League and franchise records. Last night as the Celtics were blasting... [More]

I like Paul Pierce's Christmas shoe, but I like Ray Allen's sneaker better. NiceKicks.com has the scoop on when you can pick up a pair (well… some of you).

We've heard it a bazillion times from the Lakers trolls: If the Lakers had Bynum last year, it would have been a different story. Blah… Blah… Blah. But Kendrick Perkins DESTROYED Bynum in November last year (21 pts, 9 reb vs. 4 pts, 9 reb). In their December matchup, the stats were even, but Perk... [More]

27-2: Best start to a season in NBA history. 19 consecutive wins: Longest winning streak in Celtics history. It's a good night when you can set both of those records. Philly had no chance to win this game. Maybe…if KG, Pierce and Ray all got stuck in traffic and missed the game (That nearly happened... [More]

The fine folks at perkisabeast.com are asking for beastly photoshop submissions. So I just threw this together for them, and I figured I'd post it here too. Perk's been eating his Beasties daily… which would explain why he's tearing people up lately. On the tenth day of Christmas, The Celtics gave to me… 10 more... [More]

This Christmas I'm giving my partner something he dreams about daily – Maria Menounos. Since he'll never get to meet her (or it will be a while, that restraining order expires in 2035), I've come up with this photo gallery. I realize this has nothing to do with Celtics, but I'm hoping you're all able... [More]
