I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here’s a dose of ‘enemy chatter’ from Los Angeles. The Lakers survived because the Celtics couldn’t take advantage of another weak offensive output. Ray Allen hit some shots early, and one big three late, but [...]

The quality of basketball wasn't quite at the level of 2008 or 2010 (or my kids youth league), but the drama was vintage Celtics vs Lakers. In the end, the Lakers were a smidge less awful than the Celtics. The result – an 88-87 LA victory in overtime. In a game officiated to their benefit [...]

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 Celtics coach was told that Paul Pierce said this season's reserves are more experienced and professional, as opposed to last season's bench, which Pierce said was too immature [...]

Twitter / @WojYahooNBA: The Hornets have started t … via kwout According to Woj, he's going for Bynum and Odom.  I guess that means no pursuit of Chris Paul.  And it leaves the Lakers pretty soft in the middle.  There's got to be more to this deal, right? And I guess that means Rondo is [...]

From gang hideouts to tanning salons, Lakers fans are buzzing about reports that have their team pursuing both Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. I'm here to assure Celtics fans that the likelihood of Mitch Kupchak pulling off two mega-deals is remote. Except there's a massive gap between "want" and "possible." Put aside questions of how [...]

Lakers center Andrew Bynum is at again. Last seen clobbering a guy half his size in last year's playoffs, he's graduated to taking handicap parking-spots in L.A. Now, we know this guy is obviously mentally handicapped, but I don't think that qualifies. Los Angeles' NBC 4 caught Bynum on video parking in a handicap-spot when there [...]

Mike Brown is the new Lakers head coach… a result of team VP Jim Buss' search.  It's part of a new push to distance the Lakers from the Phil Jackson era and move in a new direction. Now… I know what a lot of you are thinking.  That new direction will involve Dwight Howard because [...]

The Lakers season came to a spectacular end this afternoon in Dallas. Nothing screams "quitting" like a 36-point ass-whooping in an elimination game. Rather than go out with an ounce of class, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom chose to drop a few cheap shots on the Mavs in garbage time. Even die-hard Lakers bloggers are [...]

  During last night's Spurs-Lakers game in L.A., Andrew Bynum once again injured his right knee. The injury came during a play in the 2nd quarter where Bynum stepped on Dejuan Blair's foot and then awkwardly fell to the floor. Bynum was escorted to the Lakers' locker room by trainer Gary Vitti and was able [...]
