So in all the yapping during the 2008 Celtics-Hawks series, Paul Pierce apparently bet Al Horford $10 K that the Hawks wouldn't win a single game.  At least… that's what Al Horford is saying Today, on 790 the zone, Al Horford told a story that happened sometime during the first two games of 2008 playoff [...]

Like a man crawling through the desert begging for water… I am a blogger crawling through the internet begging for a new story line.  I'm parched.  And my dehydration has led to a wild delirium which has manifested itself thusly. A new day dawns, with stretches and yawns, and yearning for the Green. From bed [...]

Here's the big lineup Doc Rivers had on the court during the 1st quarter of yesterday's game: Ray Allen – 6-5 Marquis Daniels – 6-6 Paul Pierce – 6-7 Kevin Garnett – 6-11 Rasheed Wallace – 6-11 It's a lineup we might see more of during the regular season, albeit in short stints: “It was [...]

If the Raptors are going to carry themselves this season like they're a playoff contender, they're gonna have to come stronger than they did tonight.  They were soft on D (The C's scored 33 first quarter points, 101 for the game, and shot 50%) and they were sloppy on offense (21 turnovers/19 assists).  That ain't [...]

The Celtics have a 3pm tip-off against the Raptors.

The Sacramento Kings have banned exercise balls in their facility… because one exploded under Francisco Garcia while he was lifting… leading to a wrist injury that will cost him 4 months. Ziller has more on Sactown Royalty. You knew this had to happen: Sam Amick of The Bee reports that the Kings have banned the [...]

Peter May has a feature piece on KG up on Yahoo! today.  The whole thing focuses on KG's recovery and the challenges he faces because of it.  It's a good piece… but this quote about him and Doc is really striking. “Every time I step on the court, every time I pick up a basketball, [...]

Somebody named Kevin Sawyer who writes for a Pistons blog called Detroit Bad Boys has included a couple of Celtics on his All-Overrated Team. C – Rasheed Wallace Honestly, I think he makes Boston worse.  They are already an elite defensive squad, and his mediocre three point shooting will take opportunities from more effective shooters.  [...]

Via Stephon Marbury's Twitter page: Paul pierce is better then kobe bryant yes or no. Ask him what does he think. You know how I feel about kobe so we won't speak on it. LILGo tell Doc and Danny your daddy's that some one you fake truth. Your style is played out number 34. The [...]
