Via the Boston Herald: “It’s crazy what Kevin’s doing,” Rivers went on. “I mean, let’s just be honest, he’s been the guy every night that’s shown for the most part. I mean, before the year who would have thought that? “But those are two guys that have always taken care of their body. They eat [...]

You know the drill. Enjoy the pics, and some bonus GIFs after the jump… [...]

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 Los Angeles. Bynum dominated again at times against the Celtics, repeatedly making Kevin Garnett look every minute of 35 years old. He finished with 20 points and 14 [...]

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. Yet when it counted, nobody could produce. Allen missed a 3-pointer and a jumper. Kevin Garnett missed an open jumper. Brandon Bass missed one of his customary [...]

Just got back from the big Red’sArmy party which was fantastic-despite watching the C’s fall to the Lakers 97-94 at Staples Center today. The Celtics were ice-cold and just could not get things going in the 1st quarter. Things starting looking better towards the end of the 1st half though, and behind a couple of [...]

Andrew Bynum had strong words when talking about the Lakers' upcoming game with the Celtics on Sunday: "We're going at they head. We're going at the Celtics' rack. Yo, we going at the Celtics' rack. At they head." Bynum's been known to play pretty dirty, most notably/recently, his clobbering of the Mavericks JJ Barea during last [...]

(Photo courtesy Yahoo) At 33 years old and winner of 5 championships, I figured Kobe Bryant was past the attention seeking phase of his career. But his mask choice for last night's game proves otherwise.  Ball Don't Lie poked some fun at Bryant and threw out comparisons to Batman, Zorro and the Lone Ranger. I prefer the [...]

Via USA Today, Pierce and Rondo skipped league mandated charity appearances.  And they, as well as Kobe Bryant, paid for it. The NBA fined the Los Angeles Lakers guard $40,000 for missing a news conference and a mandated charity appearance for NBA Cares during All-Star weekend in Orlando. In addition, the NBA fined Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce and guard Rajon Rondo $20,000 each for missing their [...]

The NY Post’s Peter Vecsey is the latest to stir the pot: If the Lakers indeed are interested in signing Rasheed Wallace — a logical step-down from flirting with Gilbert Arenas—it lends credence to the Rajon Rondo/Jermaine O’Neal-Pau Gasol swap I keep hearing. Lord knows they’re desperate for a point guard and Rondo is exceedingly [...]
