The Celtics defense right now sucks.  I mean… it flat-out sucks.  It will get better, but watching plays like this just make me want to vomit. I know it will get better, because the Celtics’ best defender will be back next month.  And there’s no way guys on the court can play lazy, terrible defense [...]

When you’ve got the skill set of a guy like Rajon Rondo, it’s easy to get knocked for not using all of those skills all the time.    Often, people see these guys on the floor as NBA 2K characters rather than actual people who get tired.  Unfortunately, we can’t turn off fatigue in these [...]

In a move that surprised no one (except maybe for the timing of the announcement), the Celtics have exercised the fourth year option on Avery Bradley’s contract. From the press release: Bradley, a 6’2” guard, had a breakout season during the 2011-12 season recording career highs in virtually every statistical category. Bradley averaged 7.6 points, [...]

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. “I like his skill set, but honestly I’m concerned about our backup point; I thought so far, the way we’ve played, Jason Terry is handling the ball [...]

One thing is certain for this year’s tournament: you, the Celtics fans LOVE great plays at the expense of the Miami Heat.  The 2012 final matchup features two huge plays against the rival Heat.  The first was my personal favorite play, Paul Pierce’s cold-blooded three to seal Game 5 down in Miami.  His opponent?  A [...]

This is good news, and it may put him on the December end of the timeline for his return.  Or sooner.  Check him out on media day saying he’s “months” ahead (1:05 mark)… And when you consider the extent of his injury, that’s pretty amazing. That just makes me wonder how the hell those arms [...]

We’re down to the final four top plays of 2012.  Today’s matchup features two plays from the C’s starting back court (well, once everyone has returned from injury).  Is this when Rondo gets unseated? #1 Seed: Rondo’s Sick Spinning Pass vs Warriors: In the midst of a season-long west coast road trip, Rajon Rondo executed perhaps [...]

Another Media Day has come and gone, and as usual, we saw some sweet kicks. Veterans like Paul Pierce brought out some great shoes, as did newcomers like Courtney Lee. Here’s Paul in his Nike “P2 V” from the 2008-09 season. They feature a replica of his “Gift/Curse” tattoo on them. We also saw Jeff [...]

Paul Pierce and Avery Bradley went head-to-head in the previous matchup and today they go right back at it.  This time, it’s The Truth reaching a huge milestone versus AB’s monster rejection on Dwyane Wade.  Will AB take down the captain this time?  You be the judges. Seed #5 – Avery Bradley owns Dwyane Wade: Riding [...]

The second matchup of the elite eight continues with two polarizing plays for two very different scenarios.  Watch as The Truth executes some of the finest hero ball you’ll ever see, while Avery Bradley executes one of the best guard-attacks-superstar dunks you’ll ever see. #2 Seed: Paul Pierce’s Cold-Blooded Three: The Celtics dropped the first [...]
