With his crowning as the NBA's executive of the year for 2012, Larry Bird may have sealed his case as the basketballs most successful and influential individual in the history of the sport. Bird is without question one of the greatest players in the history of the league, but it is what he has done [...]

Larry Bird has been named the NBA's Executive of the Year. While Larry Legend probably doesn't give a crap, this honor puts him in a rare club: The Legend's trophy shelf was already full. Make room for another. The NBA announced on Wednesday that Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird has been named 2011-2012 Executive of the Year. [...]

As part two of our playoff preview (part 1 here); lets take a look at the Eastern Conference. While the East may be a bit weaker than the West this year, there is no shortage of competition to take the East crown. So without further adieu lets do this… The Favorites The Chicago Bulls are the [...]

The Celtics are trying to hold on to a lead in the Atlantic Division and maybe even improve their Eastern Conference playoff seeding. We'll regularly check in on the competition to see how things stand. Things have changed a little bit in the East.  Orlando and Philadelphia have both hit rough patches.  Orlando, playing without [...]

The rumors I had hoped would die still won't. Chad Ford is the latest one to keep them alive (insider link) by suggesting Rondo is still the most likely player to be traded by March 15. I know the Celtics are saying Rondo isn't going anywhere. But there are two problems with that. (1) It [...]

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 Indiana. Instead, what we witnessed was vintage Paul Pierce and a reminder that you can’t ever count out the heart of a champion.  Despite missing three key players and coming [...]

Who needs Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo? The Celtics have now won four straight games without their starting backcourt.  Paul Pierce was the hero. How's this for a balanced stat sheet? 28 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. The Truth had 17 in the 3rd quarter, asserting himself offensively as Indiana [...]

We know its been a little tough to sit in the Garden to watch the Celtics, but maybe that huge win over Orlando was the beginning of a turnaround. Friday night will be a big test as the Pacers come to town to face the Celtics TD Garden.  Indy has already beaten the Celtics twice this [...]

Despite Kevin Garnett having his best game of this young season, the Celtics gave-up too many second-chance points, were inconsistent on defense and lost their 4th straight; going down to the Pacers 97-83 tonight in Indy.  KG (and Pierce) led the Celtics with 21 and went 10 of 19 from the field in 28 minutes [...]
