One of the obstacles in the way of the Celtics getting more things done is the fact they were looking at so many different types of deals, [...]

Here’s my loose transcription of Doc Rivers appearance this morning on WEEI.  On the timing of the All-Star break: We can go both ways with the break. We’re playing well now. But with the body count we have, I couldn’t have found a better time. You just kinda coach em… and they kinda play. You [...]

The Truth yawns before the C’s dropped a tough one in Charlotte last night. Bobcats outlasted the exhausted C’s 94-91. Leandro Barbosa also went down with a season-ending ACL injury as if the loss wasn’t bad enough. The Celtics face Chicago tomorrow night at the Garden in their last game before the AS break. Tip-off [...]

What a game yesterday. Behind Truth’s triple-double, Terry’s big plays and KG’s clutch shots, the C’s outlasted Denver in triple OT 118-114.
