The Team

Here are some more laughs from Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson while shooting their new AT&T ad campaign, “It’s not complicated.” In this clip, Russell mocks both Magic and Larry as they fumble through lines. Bird also plays duck-duck-goose. Kinda. If you haven’t seen them, John posted a couple of the [...]

How will Doc Rivers handle Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett the rest of the regular season? Pierce is expected to play in Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, though he said he’ll discuss with head coach Doc Rivers the possibility of resting at times over the final five games of the regular season. “I’m going [...]

That’s Jared Sullinger back on the practice court today (video courtesy WEEI’s Ben Rohrbach) shooting free throws.  It’s a great sign to see him back out there in practice gear doing anything after back surgery. Of course, Sully’s nowhere close to returning, but I’m sure it’s nice to just be out there with a basketball [...]

The annual “most popular jersey” report by the NBA is out.  Once again, Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce are the only two Celtics representing the team on the list.  Here’s the top 15, sent out by the NBA PR department. 1. Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks 2. LeBron James, Miami Heat 3. Kevin Durant, Oklahoma [...]

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. Since Jared Sullinger went down for the season with a back injury, the C’s have struggled to find another “blue collar” guy. Wilcox simply has not had [...]

With just a handful of games left, there’s a hyper-focus on who might get minutes when the playoffs begin.  Last night, Doc went with the big lineup he promised when he made Jeff Green a starter:  Avery Bradley, Paul Pierce, Green, Brandon Bass, and Kevin Garnett.  That moved Chris Wilcox to the bench, and created [...]

Gotta love the video bomb (except when it involves the Heat). Question – what is KG saying? “Y-G” … does that mean young guys, young guns or young gangstas? Or “Wise g’s” … which would be a reference to wise guys. I (the poster boy for the white, suburban soccer dad’s club) think it’s “Y-G” and [...]

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. Garnett’s injury first flared in a loss in New Orleans on March 20 but he played through discomfort in Dallas on March 22. He said Saturday he [...]

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 [...]

“I’ve always said J. Green is going to be one of the best players to ever play this game,” Garnett said to Greg Dickerson on CSNNE. “People look at me kind of weird when I say that, but then when you watch him play, you see the glimpses, you see what I’m talking about. As [...]
