LeBron James doesn’t like the Celtics.  He basically said so in a tweet after Jared Sullinger was drafted. In another tweet that same night he said: While watching the draft my son Bryce ask “Is Ray Allen gonna play for Heat”. I said “I don’t know, I hope so”. The possibility of Ray joining Miami [...]

  As confident as Doc Rivers might be that Ray Allen will be back, Ray will make the Celtics sweat a bit and give other teams a shot to secure his services. The 36-year-old free-agent guard will visit the Miami Heat on Thursday and the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, according to a source, and [...]

The general consensus around the NBA is that Ray Allen will sign with Miami. “Barring a change, he’ll join the Heat,” said a league source. — Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) June 27, 2012 I’m still skeptical.  “General consensus” is based on nothing besides what everyone thinks will happen.  And the source doesn’t tell you anything besides [...]

This is the final collection of GIFs from the 2011-12 C’s. These photos represent some of the best plays from the Celtics’ 2011-12 regular season. I went through GIFs from just about every single game and picked-out the best moments. They are not ranked in any particular order. I’m sure I probably missed some, but [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat might be the toughest NBA Finals to call in quite some time.  They are alternately very similar and quite different.  They each boast a 1-2 punch that can be both explosive and inconsistent.  But, as usual, this will be a series that comes down to match-ups, and I [...]

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. “I don’t know,” said coach Doc Rivers. “Obviously, we’re all smart… I think we’re going to wait and see what happens with free agency and all that [...]

Props to Chris Bosh. It was the Boshtrich (19 points, 8-10 FG, 3-4 3 FG, 8 rebounds) who led the Heat to a 101-88 victory over the Celtics tonight. Not the punky Dwyane Wade who padded his stat sheet in the 4th quarter, or the phony LeBron James. I have no desire to write a [...]

Keyon Dooling says the Celtics are aware of the “Beat the Heat” t-shirts sold by the NBA.com store. Rest assured this information has been shared in the Celtics locker room, though Keyon Dooling chose to respond maturely this morning. “Oh yeah I saw it last night, (but) I think that’s a part of the game. [...]

We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics.  Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from Miami. “Certain shots hopefully I make that I missed. If not, I’ll still make an impact on the game. I’m not a one-dimensional player.” He proved that with his defense against [...]

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. There are certain favors you ask at great, great risk. Such as: Borrow large sums of money. Help move a piano. Take care of your dog that [...]
