Sometimes it’ll be like that. You’ve just got to make [...]
November 6, 2012 Chuck - Red's Army Brandon Bass, Celtics News Yep, that’s Rajon… teaching math. Today he tweeted: Twitter / RajonRondo: Teaching freshman algebra with … via kwout Which of course, inspired a series of “Good Will Hunting” jokes.

Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

We don’t often post music here at RedsArmy, but when someone reps Boston and the Celtics as well as the Showoff Records crew does, it must be acknowledged. Last year, Statik Selektah dropped the “A.G.E.” (All Green Everything) mixtape. It featured JFK Showoff, Reks, Termanology & many other artists. What got my attention was the [...]

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters Rajon Rondo: Better effort in this one, which shows the Milwaukee was a cruise-control, front-end of a back-to-back game.
