Gametime

The Celtics weren’t about to become the first NBA team to drop both games in an NBA Europe trip.  Rajon Rondo dominated the first quarter, the second unit pulled away in the second quarter, and then it was all a breeze from there in a 105-75 win. Here’s what stood out: Rondo, obviously, off the [...]

  Led by Jeff Green and Jared Sullinger, the Celtics revamped second unit scored 44 points in today’s 97-91 exhibition loss to Fenerbahce Ulker. Let’s get the negatives out of the way. The Celtics played horrific pick-and-roll defense (especially in the 1st quarter) and committed 25 turnovers. Chalk it up to rust, jet lag, bad [...]

We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics.  Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from Miami. Last week, KG made headlines for his comment about “not having Ray Allen’s number anymore.” Naturally, the media sought Ray’s reaction to KG’s comment. “That’s a shame,” Allen said. “I’m a good [...]

We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics.  Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from Miami. Mnelik Belilgne: Absolutely. The Celtics have vastly improved the overall dexterity of their offense, added youth, athleticism and expanded their rotation. With a designated sixth man in Jason Terry, a healthy Avery Bradley andJeff [...]

The Celtics have left Las Vegas and so have I.  It was a pretty good trip for everyone, as many of the Celtics came away from the week with something positive.  Here, in case you missed any of the coverage, is a wrap up of the week. First and foremost, I want to thank the [...]

The two-week long initial inspection of Jared Sullinger’s game as a Celtic is over.  We’ve seen him display a nice post game, some good rebounding ability, some nice passing instincts, and a good mid-range game that allows him to take bigs off the dribble. All in all, it was a good couple of weeks for [...]

Dionte Christmas’ great play in Summer League has been rewarded. ESPN Boston’s Greg Payne first tweeted that Boston has signed Christmas to a partially guaranteed contract/camp invite. Our own John Karalis, in Vegas for Summer League, said that Christmas told him he’d be flying to Boston tonight to “sign papers”. Celtics Director of Player Personnel [...]

Dionte Christmas continues to make an impression at Summer League.  And before you accuse me of just being a guy that falls in love with summer players, just know that I’m  not alone. “A lot of  overseas teams contacting me and throwing out some crazy numbers,” Christmas said after yesterday’s game.   “They’re making it [...]
