As we are all wrapped up in the current group of Celtics and what is likely to be their final push for an 18th championship with this core, a discussion with a good friend of mine brought about the potential for what we both felt would be an interesting read for true Celtics fans; yes [...]

Ray Allen is hurting.  He's playing an unfamiliar role off the bench.  He's not scoring like he'd like (3 points in Game 3).  But through it all, he's still a total professional.  When asked if there was anything he would change in Game 4, He said “I don’t have to change anything tonight that happened from [...]

With his crowning as the NBA's executive of the year for 2012, Larry Bird may have sealed his case as the basketballs most successful and influential individual in the history of the sport. Bird is without question one of the greatest players in the history of the league, but it is what he has done [...]

Larry Bird has been named the NBA's Executive of the Year. While Larry Legend probably doesn't give a crap, this honor puts him in a rare club: The Legend's trophy shelf was already full. Make room for another. The NBA announced on Wednesday that Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird has been named 2011-2012 Executive of the Year. [...]

Twitter / @ESPNForsberg: Celtics on floor for shoot … via kwout The second part of the headline isn't really true, but it should be.  It's probably the only way to keep Avery Bradley's shoulder in place for a few more games.   Actually the Celtics training staff has a new plan for Avery should the [...]

Mickael Pietrus can make life easy for the Celtics.  He can come in, play some nice defense, hit a shot or two, and even drive to the basket when defenses over-commit to the jumper.  We saw SOME of the driving last night, but that's not going to happen very often, because Mickael Pietrus is afraid [...]

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. n most walks of life, being irritating isn’t a positive trait. But it’s one that comes in handy while battling for position in the paint. “Honestly, he’s [...]

  We'll go back to the big smiles and back slaps as the C's get ready for Philly in a minute.  But first… a serious note about Ray Allen's ankle, which is slowly failing him more than it's helping him.  And the more it fails him, the less confidence he has on the court, which [...]

  May 22, 1988.  Game 7.  Eastern Conference semi-finals. Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins engaged in a mano-a-mano battle for the ages.  Dominique finished with 47 points on 19-33 shooting.  Larry finished with 34 on 15-24 shooting… including the last bucket… a lefty layup after burning Nique in the post. Final score:  Boston 118 – [...]

Doc Rivers has to play the guys who are making plays. And Hollins — no matter how out of control or wild he seems at times — is making lots of plays. [...] With Hollins, the good play that the C's are getting from him, could dry up at anytime so it's important that they [...]
