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 it,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters following the team’s practice on Thursday. “I’d rather have this than playing on Friday, I’ll say that.” Boston [...]

New Celtic Leandro Barbosa met with the media today after his first official practice with the team. The “Brazilian Blur” talks about what his role will be, the “weapons” that the Celtics have and the team’s potential. Chris Forsberg of ESPN Boston brings us the video, and you can read more about today’s session in [...]
