The Celtics held their media session today BEFORE their workout, which is a little twist on things.  But they did say that Ray Allen will not practice today.  But everyone else is in. Twitter / @scott_souza: #Celtics coach Doc Rivers: … via kwout If Ray can't go, that leaves Pietrus as the first wing off [...]

Twitter / @SherrodbCSN: #CelticsTalk: #Celtics off … via kwout Ray was out there, according to Gary Washburn, but in running shoes.  Maybe that means he's closer, maybe not.  I'm sure Greg Stiemsma got some shots up, but he's dealing with plantar fasciitis and there's no need to run him out there against the Bucks.   [...]

Greg Stiemsma's been battling foot issues for a while now, so this is no surprise.  A. Sherrod Blakely reports Stiemsma is joining Ray Allen on the bench tonight for sure. Rondo was considered possible for tonight, but there were some conflicting reports out of practice.  One report from CSNNE's Carolyn Manno was that Rondo is [...]

Enjoy some pics from Wednesday night at the Garden. As always, top play GIFs after the jump… [...]

Twitter / @GwashNBAGlobe: No KG or Pierce tonight vs … via kwout With Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo and Mickael Pietrus already not traveling to Atlanta, Doc Rivers has also decided to hold out Paul Pierce AND Kevin Garnett so they can get some rest.  So…. this will be a hoot, won't it?  Here's my guess [...]

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 Orlando. The momentum changed in the Celtics' direction when, with the Magic trailing 71-70, reserve forward Earl Clark went driving for a possible slam dunk when Celtics' reserve center Greg Stiemsma blocked [...]

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters  Avery Bradley:  I don't know how many times I'll continue to be amazed by Avery Bradley, but I continue to be amazed by Avery Bradley.  23 points on 10-14 shooting last night?  He was huge.  Just huge.  Paul [...]
