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 Chicago. Kevin Garnett, who’s become a soft—-or softer—player shooting a lot of fadeaways as well with little lift, much like Paul Pierce, did hit a short jump shot. But [...]

That was the chant that echoed through the TD Garden when fans wanted a taste of "the human victory cigar." Brian Scalabrine's years in Boston were fun ones.  He made it no secret that he loved playing here and that he fed off the crowd. Now, Chicago is Scal's "home", and the fans there are [...]

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. [...]

For one night, we can put all this lockout talk behind us and escape through the wormhole known as NBA TV.  You see, that lockout is preventing NBA TV from showing any players from the past couple of decades.  And you know what, that's fine with me, because Celtics history is rich enough (and at [...]

The Sporting News just came out with its 10 greatest NBA teams of all time.  And, of course, it lists the 1996 Chicago Bulls team at #1. I could go into how the league was terribly watered down at that point, having expanded three times in seven years… adding six teams over that span… including [...]

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 Cavaliers are in discussions with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Detroit Pistons about a three-team trade that would give Cleveland the top two picks of next month's [...]

Less than 18 hours after the 5 game beatdown at the hands of the Heat, one Chicago Bulls blogger is already calling for a major shake-up: The playoffs may have exposed what they are: Boozer, while clearly still hurt, only excels against mediocre competition. He doesn’t do well against bona fide talent. We already know [...]

Sad thing is… he got the call.   There may be flops just as bad somewhere that I'm forgetting… but is there a worse flop in NBA history?  And by a player as good as LeBron… who shouldn't need to flop. If I'm an NBA ref and I see that I fell for this crap, [...]

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. Now, in the revealing light of late May, the Heat's blemishes have faded. Miami looks like a squad with championship-worthy credentials and intangibles. No team left in [...]
