In a long, detailed interview (via Celtics Blog) in which Danny discusses things like KG's knee (there are no staples in there), his heart attack (he's feeling pretty good), and Rondo's attitude (the guys really like him)… we self-centered pricks here at the Red's Army office focused on this: "People were trying to read between [...]
October 6, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized Doc Rivers was on WEEI earlier this morning…and the thing that seems to be resonating with people is what he said about Rajon Rondo. I think Rajon Rondo will be a lifetime Celtic. I really do. I think this process he’s gone through is the process all players go through at times. The maturity process [...]
October 6, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized According to Ball Don't Lie… KG falls behind only Tim Duncan on the list of greatest players this decade. KG takes the cake over Kobe by a hair due to his defense, an area that isn't always accurately documented by statistics. His stats, though, are pretty awesome. Garnett averaged over 20 points, 10 rebounds, and [...]
October 6, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized Doc Rivers is an NBA coach… a former coach of the year and an NBA champion. I'm a slob who sometimes drinks alone, could stand to lose a few pounds, and uses terms like "we" and "us" when referring to his favorite pro teams. So I get why Doc Rivers doesn't want to listen to [...]
October 5, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized The Celtics are throwing a few wrinkles into their out-of-bounds play selections… including an option for Perk. instead of passing to a cutting teammate or someone on the perimeter, Perkins took two dribbles and dunked, the last thing second unit opponents expected. "That was almost a fun section of practice," coach Doc Rivers said. "We [...]
October 5, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized That's just one part of the Ball Don't Lie Celtics preview. There are other, funnier photos. There also actual basketball analysis. I found this interesting. Depth? Not great. Wallace helps, a ton. Marquis Daniels can really play, I have misgivings about his ability as a reserve point man, but he can help this team if [...]
October 5, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized That's Ray Allen's approach to appreciating whatever moments he's got left in the NBA… and tuning out talk of the contract extension he wants. “It’s interesting how I approach training camp as an older man in relation to my career,” Allen said. “I think Kevin (Garnett) takes the same mindset and Paul (Pierce) has the [...]
October 5, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized I don't know how you can get any clearer. "I don't have any knee problems. I don't have any knee problems. I'm not trying to get in depth with my injury and all that but the things are bothering me are secondary and not even primary. So I'm excited about that because it's nothing be [...]
October 4, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized Camp is not even a full week old and Doc Rivers is already forgetting to limit KG's minutes. "Today was a day I probably should have taken him out more." That would explain the video we just saw of KG moving around stiffly. Doc said he was starting and stopping the guys a lot and [...]
October 3, 2009 RedsArmyAdmin Uncategorized This video from yesterday's practice shows KG running around… and not exactly looking fluid. I guess that's to be expected and if he had a serious problem… he'd be sitting on the sidelines. So it's just something he's got to work through. (Thanks Jose3030 for the vid). If that's not unsettling enough… check out what [...]
