Taking a quick peek into the C's record books, Paul Pierce is pretty close to hitting some new milestones.  And unless a lockout wipes out all of next year, he'll do it this upcoming season.   Here's a quick peek at what he's got coming up.  Remember, these are Celtics records, not NBA records.  All [...]

Only once have the Celtics climbed out of an 0-2 hole to win a series.  That just so happened to the NBA Finals against the LA Lakers back in 1969 (that included the famous "balloon game" in the clincher). And one of the key guys in that series (or any series, really, for the C's [...]

Associated Press photo The C's were back to their old tricks tonight… they didn't take care of the ball (16 turnovers), they were out-rebounded (giving up 13 offensive rebounds) and they looked disinterested in stretches. But they managed to do enough to get to OT… which is where Paul Pierce took over and scored 12 of [...]

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. While Doc Rivers reserves the right to call for a double session or two if needed, right now there are none on the official schedule and the [...]

There were quite a few highlights from last night's 115-104 Celtics win over the Toronto Raptors.  I just wanted to share a couple of them that were particularly enjoyable. Highlight 1: Watch as Rajon Rondo shows Amir Johnson the ball and fakes him out of his shoes by pulling it back like a yo-yo. Highlight [...]

If you follow Ray Allen on Twitter, you know he's a pretty avid golfer.  In fact, that picture of him and Kevin Na is from his twitpic account.  But Charles Barkley is an avid golfer… and we know what that looks like.  So just playing a lot doesn't make you good.  So how good is [...]

A Sam Jones bank shot with ten seconds left helped Team BigMck hold off a furious 4th quarter rally by Red's Army and win Game 4 119-116. Team BigMck now holds a commanding 3-1 lead in the Legends Series. Team BigMck shot 55% from the field and had 7 players in double figures. Larry Bird played [...]

After dropping Game 1 to BigMck, team RedsArmy came back to take Game 2 on a Tommy Heinsohn 16 footer at the buzzer. "I figured if I was going to be giving out 'Tommy Points' in my broadcasting career, I might as well set the example," Heinsohn said. Tommy only shot 5 of 13 on [...]

The most epic draft ever was held last night.  Chuck and I have each put our teams together.  Here's how they all shake out: RedsArmy Starters: C:  Bill Russell 1958-5916.7 ppg, 23.0 rpg, 3.2 apg, FG 45.7% FT 59.8% (block stats not kept) F:  Kevin McHale 1986-8726.1 ppg, 9.9 rpg, 2.6 apg, 2.2 bpg  FG [...]

Yeah, it's a little slow around here.  But that just gives us a chance to get creative.  And one thing that I know we always like debating is "All-Time" teams.  So I'm going throw out my "All-Celtics" team. PG:  Bob Cousy - The "Houdini of the Hardwood" set the stage for all future point guards.  [...]
