After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Rajon Rondo:  13 points and 13 assists for Rondo, mostly before he got knocked down and nearly got broken in half.  After that, he played like a guy whose back was a mess.  He probably shouldn't have been [...]

Here are some GIF's from last night's victory over the Bobcats. We've got Rondo's alley-oop to Hollins, some GoldyBlocks and much more after the jump… [...]

I know this seems like I'm dredging up an old story line.  And I guess I sort of am.  But I swear, I'm doing it for a good reason.  Because like everything else in life, proper perspective is needed before rushing to judgement.  It's been more than a year since "it" happened.  Last year, Danny [...]

Even without Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, the Celtics were too good tonight for the Charlotte Bobcats. The C's won it, 94-82. Avery Bradley (22 points, 9-14 FG, 2-3 3 FG) has my undying faith. When he takes pull-up jumpers on the break, or spots up in the corner for 3, I fully [...]

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 Celtics meet Toronto Friday night, the start of their back-to-back-to-back stretch. They play at New Jersey Saturday and at Charlotte Sunday, and also at New York [...]

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Rajon Rondo:  I've taken to a daily accounting of the points Rondo was directly responsible for the previous night.  Against Atlanta, his 20 assists led 42 points.  Tack on the 10 he scored and Rondo was directly involved [...]

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Rajon Rondo:  Rajon accouned for almost half the Celtics' offense by assisting on 36 points (six 3's, and nine 2's) and scoring another 18.  That's 54 of the Celtics' 115 points.  That's amazing.  He still has some lapses [...]

Sports Illustrated's Zach Lowe has an interesting column on the Celtics defense. Long story short – it's awesome. Over the last 15 games, Boston has allowed 92.9 points per 100 possessions, about 8.5 points per 100 possessions better than the league average. Over the last 10 games? That number is down to 89.1, a ridiculous [...]

Enjoy some pics from last night's ass-whooping of the Sixers. Epic GIFs after the jump…. [...]

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters  Rajon Rondo:  Another 15 assists.  And yes, he sometimes gets a little too casual out there.  I'll take the bad with the good as this guy continues to set up his teammates.  His assists led to 32 points, [...]
