Here’s my loose transcription of Doc Rivers appearance this morning on WEEI. On the timing of the All-Star break: We can go both ways with the break. We’re playing well now. But with the body count we have, I couldn’t have found a better time. You just kinda coach em… and they kinda play. You [...]
February 15, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Celtics News, Doc Rivers 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. Other than Rajon Rondo, no one player’s value has been more debated this year than Jeff Green’s. He struggled early on in the season after coming off of [...]

I don’t see how the Celtics can make a deal for Josh Smith. Atlanta isn’t taking back Brandon Bass and Courtney Lee. [...]
