The LatestI'll blame the Red Sox for injecting a dose of deliriousness into the Boston fanbase. Yes, all of the reserves played well, especially Tony Allen, in last night's win over New Jersey. But when I read a comment (from a respected reader I might add) suggesting TA play with the first stringers and Ray Allen be moved to... [More]
The working title of my previous post was going to be "Red Sox Suck, Celtics Don't." At that point, the Celtics game was over and the Sox were down 7-zip. But I thought it would be wise to hold off… because these are the Sox, y'know? And then Papi homered… and so did JD Drew…... [More]
How's that for an overreaction to a preseason game? Well… the fact is that we haven't seen this kind of Tony Allen for a couple of years. He put in 32 points on 11-18 shooting and 10 of 12 free throws in a 111-108 win in New Jersey. The C's sat the Big 3… and... [More]
Rick Pitino had the sack to show up on Boston radio to plug his new book. The folks at Karlson & McKenzie on WZLX decided it would be a great idea to open the phone lines to Celtics fans. Turns out they were wrong. It wasn't a great idea. It was the most awesome idea... [More]
Remember the story in the middle of…….. that season…….. two years ago when Doc Rivers had to tell his players what proper nutrition was after he saw someone eating a hamburger before a game? Well… after reading this story… I'm pretty confident it was Gerald Green. About the only area Gerald Green isn’t looking to... [More]
Eddie House is looking and feeling good… which is pretty good news for a team that brought in Sam Cassell last year because they were so concerned about Eddie's ability to back up Rajon Rondo. But it's a different season… and a slightly different situation. “The only thing that feels different is that I’m more... [More]
Today is Blog Action Day. More than 11,000 blogs are joining together to highlight the problem of poverty in the world. How are we helping? By talking about how basketball is helping… and how maybe you can help too. The NBA is an inspiration to young kids everywhere. And the great thing about basketball is... [More]
Eddy Curry is a big, fat, underachieving disappointment. He has the skills to be a pretty good power forward, but he instead has chosen to spend his $10 mil a year contract getting fatter and fatter. How fat is Eddy Curry? So fat, that no exercise ball is safe. Poor Eddy Curry. He sat on the... [More]
Boom There it is. From Danny Ainge himself. Want more? "We think Scal can help us. Last year when KG got hurt, Scal started and we were 7-2 in those games. Our team defense was even better. I’m not saying he’s a better defensive player than KG, but we were able to maintain things and... [More]
Danny Ainge says the Celtics will exercise the $2 million option in Rajon Rondo's contract for the 2009-10 season and they will do it before this season starts. "It makes me feel good, they still want me," said the 22-year-old Rondo, who averaged 10.6 points, 5.1 assists, and 1.7 steals in 29.9 minutes per game last... [More]
