July 3, 2012 John - Red's Army Celtics News We’re a bit obsessed with Kevin Garnett, because Kevin Garnett is the trigger to the entire Celtics offseason.

April 20, 2012 John - Red's Army Uncategorized Well folks, we might be able to point to this game as the end of the new Big 3 era. Because effort and execution get no worse than this.
