The LatestAs you've seen already, the Celtics picked up JR Giddens with the 30th pick. Here's Doc's take: "We think he has a chance to fight for minutes right away because of his defense. He's got incredible wingspan, great feet, and we feel that defensively he can be an NBA player right away. The other things we'll... [More]
The Celtics have selected J.R. Giddens, a guard from New Mexico. The 6-5, 208 lb. shooting guard averaged 16 pts, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in 33 games last season for the Lobos. Welcome to the defending champions!!!! According to Draft Express, Giddens was stabbed during a bar fight back in 2005 and needed 30 stitches... [More]
The first round is more than two-thirds over and the Celtics still hold the 30th pick. Comcast's Greg Dickerson said Danny Ainge is feverishly trying to trade the pick with Chicago and Seattle being potential partners. In Chad Ford's latest mock draft, the Celtics select Memphis swingman Chris Douglas-Roberts. The biggest surprise so far has to be the freefall... [More]

Great stuff here. Pierce coming out on a wheel chair…. then getting his balls busted by Kimmel for being an LA guy playing for the C's. He also mentions a party in Vegas in the coming weeks. FYI to anyone out there in Vegas… I want to hear how these guys roll in Vegas. (Thanks... [More]
Just seeing Billy Dee Williams makes me want to pop open a Colt45! (Thanks to Larry W. for the video) Hey… remember when we told you Paul Pierce damn near killed himself? Well… he tried again the next day at Fenway Park. As the video on BostonSportz shows (at the 1:25 mark)… Paul Pierce was... [More]
We are spending some time looking back over the Boston Celtics championship season… in an effort to truly appreciate the efforts of those involved. In the first three installments, we've appreciated Doc Rivers, Danny Ainge, and the Team Owners. Now, we move on to the players. "Oh nooooooooo….. yeeaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Because of the Celtics historic run through the playoffs, culminating with the utter dismantling of the vastly overrated Los Angeles Lakers, I've paid exactly zero attention to the draft. Can you blame me? So rather than pretend I actually know something about this incoming class of NBA players, I'm going to steal the work of... [More]
Oh baby… more rumors. This one involves Davis to Detroit… and in what would be a blockbuster deal… getting Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace in return. Detroit would also get Al Harrington. Call me crazy… but that seems to almost boil down to a "shake up" trade. They both kinda end up even… and seem... [More]
Brandon Jennings is a super fast point guard from Compton, California. He's got all the skills to make it as a pro… except he's a senior in high school right now… and he's not exactly "making the grade." He's supposed to go to Arizona… but he can't get his SAT's high enough. So what's he... [More]
