Twitter / @ChrisMannixSI: Doc Rivers says Ray Allen … via kwout I'm not sure what to make of this anymore.  Ray Allen's ankle will hold him out at least one more game.  It would be nice if the ankle was strong enough to get at least one more game in before the playoffs.   Meanwhile, [...]

Twitter / @GwashNBAGlobe: No KG or Pierce tonight vs … via kwout With Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo and Mickael Pietrus already not traveling to Atlanta, Doc Rivers has also decided to hold out Paul Pierce AND Kevin Garnett so they can get some rest.  So…. this will be a hoot, won't it?  Here's my guess [...]

Not much of a surprise here. The Celtics are a 1/2 game behind the Hawks for home-court advantage in the 1st round. I'm typically a big proponent of fighting for HCA, but the Atlanta crowd is anything but intimidating. [...]

Nothing definite yet, but we'll keep you posted. UPDATE: Sean Grande confirms all 3 are out.  FUN! [...]

The C's are on national TV with a chance to clinc the division.  But if they're going to do it, they're going to do it without Ray Allen and Mickael Pietrus.   Forget tuning into Shaq mumbling and Charles Barkley talking about getting skinny.  Gang Green has your half time show right here.  Watch it [...]

Sports Illustrated's Zach Lowe has an interesting column on the Celtics defense. Long story short – it's awesome. Over the last 15 games, Boston has allowed 92.9 points per 100 possessions, about 8.5 points per 100 possessions better than the league average. Over the last 10 games? That number is down to 89.1, a ridiculous [...]

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. Mickael Pietrus underwent a basketball workout at the Celtics’ practice facility and suffered no setbacks on his road back from the concussion he suffered two and a [...]

Enjoy some pics from last night's ass-whooping of the Sixers. Epic GIFs after the jump…. [...]
