Fab Melo

The offseason is here for the Boston Celtics, and in just a couple of months, they will begin the process of putting next year’s team together.  We will take a look at the current Celtics and try to figure out what to do with each of them.  We continue today with Fab Melo. We really [...]

Trade deadline day started with a small tremor… a report from Chris Broussard that the Celtics are interested in Wizards shooting guard Jordan Crawford: The scale moved from small to mild when Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski reminded us of the Celtics interest in the Hawks Josh Smith: “Darkhorse” doesn’t sound too promising, but it appears some [...]

According to Doogie Wolfson of 1500ESPN.com, the Wolves are interested in Avery Bradley and/or Courtney Lee: To get Boston’s Avery Bradley, the Wolves would have to sacrifice Derrick Williams and a future first-round pick, according to a league source. That’s not happening. Another name to keep an eye on are Boston’s Courtney Lee, whom Adelman [...]

After a pair of monster games, Fab Melo missed yesterdays Maine Red Claws game (which you can watch in its entirety above) with a mild concussion.  As we know nowadays, concussions are taken quite seriously, so they’ll be very careful with him.  It’s unclear how he suffered the concussion.  He’s listed as day-to-day.

Fab Melo followed up his monster triple double game by almost dropping another.  Fab had 32 points, 9 rebounds and 9 blocks in nearly 37 minutes against the Idaho Stampede. It is a great sign of progress for Melo, but I’m going to take a second to preemptively address some of the comments I know [...]

The Kings recently suspended the talented, but troubled DeMarcus Cousins for unprofessional behavior and conduct detrimental to the team.  Cousins says he wants to remain in Sactown, but does the team still want him? The Celtics could sure use a 22-year-old, 6-11 forward who averages 16 ppg and 9.6 rpg. In a column that’s all [...]

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. Many opposing point guards had an interesting take on that moment last season when Rondo, rested up, came back on the floor to replace his young backup. [...]

Fab Melo went bonkers tonight in the Red Claws’ 85-78 loss to the Erie Bayhawks. In 36 minutes, Melo tallied a triple-double, the Red Claws 3rd ever, with 15 points, 16 boards and a new D-League record 14 blocks. So is this just one hell of a night for Melo against D-League competition? Or is [...]
