Gametime

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.  The 24-year-old guard is rather unflappable. It’s maybe his strongest trait, even beyond his shooting prowess and evolving point guard skills. This is a monster summer for [...]

The Celtics were scuffling along in typical summer league fashion.  They were down by 17 to the Brooklyn Nets… … until undrafted rookie Jonathan Gibson took over. Gibson dropped 17 points off the bench and led the Celtics to a 30-14 fourth quarter and 82-73 Celtics win.  Gibson is a 6’1″ guard out of New [...]

The Celtics summer league edition got off to a nice start by defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder.  First round draft pick Jared Sullinger stood out the most, but E’Twaun Moore, Fab Melo, Kris Jospeh and Sean Williams also had some highlights.  Check out the “GreenLights” below for some of their nice plays, including all of [...]

The Boston Celtics opened their Summer League with a 73-65 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, though the score of these games barely matters. Let’s get right to the early assessments.  First, the returning players: E’Twaun Moore:  His shot was spotty early. He hit a few nice mid-range jumpers, but he had a tough time [...]

Props to Chris Bosh. It was the Boshtrich (19 points, 8-10 FG, 3-4 3 FG, 8 rebounds) who led the Heat to a 101-88 victory over the Celtics tonight. Not the punky Dwyane Wade who padded his stat sheet in the 4th quarter, or the phony LeBron James. I have no desire to write a [...]

Keyon Dooling says the Celtics are aware of the “Beat the Heat” t-shirts sold by the NBA.com store. Rest assured this information has been shared in the Celtics locker room, though Keyon Dooling chose to respond maturely this morning. “Oh yeah I saw it last night, (but) I think that’s a part of the game. [...]

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. “Certain shots hopefully I make that I missed. If not, I’ll still make an impact on the game. I’m not a one-dimensional player.” He proved that with his defense against [...]

The world famous “NMA”, short for Next Media Animation, has given the Eastern Conference Finals their animated treatment. They call Boston “the Ben-Gay Celtics“, show Paul Pierce with a walker and KG with a cane. They aren’t much nicer to Miami, saying they’ll need “all the fouling and flopping and help from officials it can get.” [...]

One thing to notice, the chant nearly tailed off a couple of times, but some group somewhere stepped up and kept it going. Very nice moment, Celtics fans.  Nicely done. [...]
