Greetings my fellow Celtics fans. This past season was definitely one of extreme highs and lows for the Boston Celtics. After losing starting point guard Rajon Rondo to a torn ACL, the team went on an inspiring 7 game winning streak. But the Basketball Gods continued to be unkind to Boston, as rookie Jared Sullinger [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “[Irving] went to the basket, came down, and elbowed me right on my collarbone. It’s just a little swollen,” Bradley said, later adding, “It hurts, but I’ll [...]

Avery Bradley. “Zero Tolerance“ Avery Bradley’s defensive prowess is well-known throughout the NBA.  He often sets up shop inside opposing guards’ heads and throws them so far off their game, that the ripple effect can swing games in Boston’s favor. He also gets burned from time to time.  That’s going to happen in the NBA.  But when [...]
