July 21, 2012 Celtkicks Brandon Bass, CeltKicks The NBA Summer League’s official You Tube account caught-up with Doc Rivers in Vegas today. Doc was asked what he thinks it will be like coaching against Austin, how he prepares on game days and what he’d be doing if he wasn’t an NBA coach: [...]
Doc Rivers spoke to the media before the Celtics-Kings game yesterday and touched on a number of topics. One was the status of Paul Pierce’s knee. “He’ll be fine,” Doc said. ”With his injury, he had to rest it. He should not have been playing, to be healthy. The only way to be healthy is [...]
July 20, 2012 John - Red's Army Injuries, Paul Pierce The question was simple, and the reply was genuine. “How excited are you for Jason [Terry], to have a real 6th man? “Oh I love it.” It was a quick, reply.

July 20, 2012 John - Red's Army Free Agency, Jason Terry Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline.

For those hoping E’Twaun Moore resigns with the Celtics, forget it. CBA rules prevent him from resigning here for [...]
E’Twaun Moore played perhaps his best game of both summer leagues against the Bulls. Moore dropped 25 points on 10-19 shooting, burying several jumpers with confidence while sprinkling in some nice drives to the basket. He still has work to do as a PG, as evidenced by his difficulty of simply making a post-entry pass [...]

The BallUp Streetball Tour is coming to Boston. And Boston Celtic Brandon Bass will be a “guest coach” for the night.
