During an arts luncheon Hawks co-owner Michael Gearon Jr. sounded off about the lack of respect the Hawks are getting from the media and officials. He also called Kevin Garnett a dirty player: Did you see what Al Horford did last night? The timeline for recovery for his injury is another three months. He’s not even supposed to [...]

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 Atlanta. Kevin Garnett scares me. Garnett's intensity, as scary and as disturbing as it is, isn't the scariest part. It's that it seems like he can get anything [...]

Not sure if effort will be there in Game 5? Way to fire up the boys, Joe.  [...]

Larry Drew is moving Kirk Hinrich and Jason Collins to the bench. I expected Al Horford to start. Even if he's still rusty, Horford is a better option than Collins. Marvin Williams is shooting 21% in this series. I'm guessing Drew wants him to defend Paul Pierce? This switch will put either Rajon Rondo or [...]

Yahoo!

It wasn't pretty, but the C's got it done. Enjoy some pics from last night's Game 3. GIFs after the jump… [...]

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. “We’ve got to establish him more,’’ Rivers said of Garnett. “We’ve got to get bodies off him. They’re putting bodies on him, knocking him around, and we’ve [...]

Here's an update on Hawks forward Josh Smith. I'll use my deductive reasoning abilities to say no limp = will play. If Smith can't go, Marvin Williams and Tracy McGrady will see time at power forward, reports CBS Sports.  The real reason I'm posting this tweet is to poke fun at James Winfro, a delusional [...]

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 Atlanta. Props to the creative Hawks fan who sported this "t-shirt" at last night's game. The answer to his question is… Rondo's back at the hotel, resting his [...]
