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. Did Ainge do the right thing? If the Celtics can make another deep run or two, he probably chose wisely. But if we saw the last gasp [...]

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. Every year, Jeff Clark at Celtics Blog organizes team previews by bloggers from every team.  It's a fun way to get through the September doldrums.  So here's [...]

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.

Jermaine O'Neal, the Celtics new (temporary) starting center, met today with the media. Among the topics discussed, an ankle injury he suffered late in the season: O'Neal said he got kicked in the left ankle with three games left in the regular season but played in the playoffs despite being injured. "To me, when you [...]
