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 Atlanta. The Celtics, who played Sunday in a different country and who started four men who’d been in the NBA for at least a dozen years, scored 39 [...]

The Celtics wasted no time attacking the Atlanta Hawks tonight. By the end of the 1st quarter it was clear that the Hawks wanted no part of this fight. The final score: 99 – 76. The 1st quarter numbers are staggering. The Celtics outscored Atlanta 39 – 13. They outrebounded Atlanta 16 – 3. They [...]

Man… folks in the NBA ain't playin' around.  If you actually slept last night, you missed a few things. - The Milwaukee Bucks agreed to a 5 year, $32 million deal with Drew Gooden.  $32 mil. is a lot, but $6 million a year isn't too bad.  Kelly Dwyer explains it pretty well.  As he [...]

Technical difficulties prevented last night’s episode of Boston & That Sports Babe from being broadcast live, but here’s the recording of the show.  It was a great show that included Slam’s Marcel Mutoni and NBA.com’s Sekou Smith.  Both guys were great, but the big headline to come out of the show came towards the end [...]

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 Atlanta. Celtic pride. Ever heard of it? Well, it should have been on display Friday night. Turns out all we saw was Celtic age. And all we heard [...]

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. Prior to Friday's Hawks-Celtics game, Boston center Kendrick Perkins said his team “put a hit out” on Hawks guard Jamal Crawford, who had burned the Celtics for [...]
