  I know I've said it before.  I've already admitted that writing Kevin Garnett off four months ago was stupid.  I guess after last night, I realized just how stupid it was.  Kevin Garnett is, was, and forever will be one of the most unique individuals on the planet.  His demeanor can be shocking, frightening, [...]

  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 [...]

(image courtesy Austin Espinoza. h/t Ball Don't Lie) Ivan Johnson and Josh Smith have different opinions of Celtics fans. The photo shows Johnson is more of a non-verbal guy. Smith had this to say: “When you’re playing in an environment like the Boston Garden, they have probably the best fans,” Smith paused, and then thought [...]

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. "First off, I want to say thank you to their owner for giving me some extra gas tonight," Garnett said. "My only advice to him is next [...]

The Celtics are trying to eliminate the Atlanta Hawks and move on to the Conference semis. We'll regularly check in on the competition to see how things stand. Al Horford changes the dynamics at both ends. You’ll notice that Boston, which prides itself on playing D, couldn’t stop Horford in the final 2 1/2 minutes [...]

Twitter / @SherrodbCSN: #CelticsTalk: #Celtics Pau … via kwout This is the first specific detail we've heard about Pierce's injury.  The MCL is pretty important to your lateral movement, and there were plenty of times after Pierce tweaked it again in Game 5 that it was obvious Pierce wasn't moving from side to side very [...]

During an arts luncheon Hawks co-owner Michael Gearon Jr. sounded off about the lack of respect the Hawks are getting from the media and officials. He also called Kevin Garnett a dirty player: Did you see what Al Horford did last night? The timeline for recovery for his injury is another three months. He’s not even supposed to [...]
