amare stoudemire

Gotta love the New York media. They beat up their teams better than anyone else. For those who missed the news last night. Amar'e Stoudemire suffered a severe cut on his hand after punching a fire extinguisher case following the Game 2 loss to Miami. And we thought Rajon Rondo was a hot-head? While I thoroughly [...]

Marc Berman of the NY Post has the not-so-shocking details: Carmelo Anthony’s discontent with the Knicks organization became so severe after Monday night’s loss to the Bulls, he told a confidant he preferred to be traded before Thursday’s NBA deadline, The Post has learned. According to a person familiar with his thinking, Anthony’s disillusionment stems most [...]

How's that for some Sunday afternoon fun? The Celtics beat the Knicks 115-111 in OT, behind a monster triple-double by Rajon Rondo and clutch shooting by Paul Pierce. Rondo tallied 18 points, 17 rebounds and 20 assists in 48 minutes. Magic Johnson is the only other guy in league history to go at least 17-17-17 (per [...]

What's uglier – Rajon Rondo's new shiner or the offensive play by both teams in tonight's 91-89 Celtics victory? The Knicks controlled (I use that term loosely) this game for 3 quarters. They were the more aggressive team on both sides of the ball. But as the Knicks energy level faded in the 4th, the [...]

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.  A large part of the Celtics’ turnaround has been the emergence of Pierce. In his past seven games, Pierce is averaging 22.9 points after averaging just 14.6 points [...]

I mentioned this a few days ago, but now that the barnstorming tour of Puerto Rico, London, China and Australia is a reality, it's looking like a few Celtics will be part of the fun. Puerto Rican promoters had been waiting on signed agreements from 10 of the 18 players expected to play in the [...]

  I talked to Carmelo Anthony while he was pitching a new liquid chalk product the other day.  Of course, the topic quickly got off the liquid chalk and onto basketball.   Melo has been on a bit of a media blitz lately, and defense has been a huge part of it.  And you can [...]

SLAM: Are you planning on working out with any of the Grizzlies over the summer? Tony Allen: It’s cool you asked that because Zach just texted me and said he was trying to round the guys up and get them into one city for a good week-and-a-half or something. So I’m waiting on a call. [...]
