If there's one thing every Celtics fan looks forward to, it's the a game against the Lakers.  And even though the NBA season has been shortened to 66 games, it won't cost us a chance to boo Kobe, Pau and the rest of those pricks  The Lakers will not visit every NBA city because they [...]

  The Celtics released a sneak preview of their new marketing campaign today.  The overall message of the "I am a Celtic" campaign is that we are all, players and fans, Celtics. And mixed into this particular spot is a not-so-thinly veiled shot at notoriously late-to-games fans of the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat. [...]

Sherrod Blakely says we can add Shannon Brown to the list of players the Celtics are interested in. I've never been a big fan of Brown's game and that has nothing to do with his ties to the purple and gold. The 26-year old Brown averaged 8.7 points and 19 minutes per game last season. [...]

Via the LA Times: The Lakers are curious to see if veteran point guard Baron Davis gets cut by Cleveland. He has two years and $28.7 million left on his contract, though he can be signed for substantially less than that.

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. But here’s the thing: The numbers ESPN’s research group has provided suggest Pierce shoots just as “poor” a percentage in crunch time as Bryant does. Consider this TrueHoop [...]

Without basketball to watch, I must resort to old game tapes to get my NBA fix.  Like most addicts, I can’t stay away.  I decided to start this new segment with the 2008 NBA Finals, my first NBA Finals as a Celtics fan (I was 1 when the 1986 banner went up). I picked game [...]

CSNNE is running down the biggest villains in Boston sports and a GREAT place to start is with Kobe Bryant.  That video nicely runs down a bunch of the reasons why we hate him.   And then there is LeBron James. Part of that stems more from the fact that James, more than any other [...]
