After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters I'm not going to bother going through them all individually.  I'm sorry KG gets swept in this because he had a decent game.. but even he needed to do more.  If you're the only guy hitting them, then [...]

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Rajon Rondo:  His numbers looked ok in the box score and he certainly had some amazing moments in the game.  But he got too passive down the stretch for my liking.  I know the Lakers have trees back [...]

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 [...]

Twitter / @SherrodbCSN: The only #Celtics not expe … via kwout So Brandon Bass is in… there's no surprise (or not so surprise) injury to Jermaine O'Neal…. Rajon Rondo hasn't had a setback… and Paul Pierce will not "rest" so he can pass Larry Bird against the Lakers.   All things considered, I think this [...]

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Rajon Rondo:  I know we want guys to be robots and step right back into playing without missing a beat, but that's not how it works.  Doc said it best last night… it's his second game playing after [...]

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Avery Bradley:  He has adjusted his game thanks to Doc Rivers, who has told him to mimic Andre Miller: "Instead of looking at the ball, we told him, just look at your man. Right when he turns his [...]

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Avery Bradley:  His D wasn't nearly what it was in the last Orlando game, and the 5 turnovers (a couple of them were really bad) were a problem.  And if E'Twaun Moore is going to play like he [...]

The Celtics had pissed away an 11 point lead but they still had a chance to win.  All they had to do was stop the Cleveland Cavaliers one time and they could go home with a winning record.   But they didn't.  Kyrie Irving split the defense, laid it in, and now all that great [...]
