Today would have been the 95th birthday of our site’s namesake, Red Auerbach. We take great pride in our name and the tribute it pays to Red.  Red is our leader.  He is our general.  Even in death, his ideals… even the tricky ones… define what we think the Celtics organization should always strive to [...]

It's apparently throwback day here on Red's Army.   Next up Bill Russell, who sat down for an hour long special on the Golf Channel to regale us with story after story.  They're all awesome, and they range from playing days, to the civil rights movement, to his life as a child.  In this excerpt, [...]

By Henry Schwan When was the last time you saw anyone in the NBA box someone out for a rebound? Boxing out at the highest level of professional basketball is as extinct as the Woolly Mammoth. Case in point, the Celtics Thursday night loss to the Lakers. In fourth quarter crunch time, Pau Gasol and [...]

A couple of weeks ago, John came across a sweet pair of Red Auerbach tribute kicks on Ebay. Knowing Celtics fans would want to see them, he posted them on the Red's Army Facebook page.

Today would have been Red Auerbach's 94th birthday.  Celebrate with a cigar if you'd like, or just watch these videos of Red teaching some of the finer points of basketball… or in the case of the first video… railing against all the flopping.   I'm guessing Manu Ginobili wouldn't have been Red's favorite player. Here, [...]

Continuing our series of Celtics related excerpts from David Halberstam's "The Breaks of the Game," we take a look at why the Celtics had a revolving door of ownership.  You would think that one of the greatest organizations in sports, not just basketball, would have a short ledger of ownership throughout the years.  The LA [...]

The lockout is here, but we're not gonna let it hold us down. We're still going to have fun somehow.  So every so often we're gonna say F**k a lockout… and still keep on keepin' on. Dwight Howard and Gilbert Arenas are on a planking binge (if you don't know what planking is, congratulations, you have [...]

                                                                      About 2 years ago, I had a beautiful pair of custom kicks desgined by YoaKustoms. I asked her to design me something to [...]

Last night, I attended the opening of the new show "The Auerbach Dynasty", now playing at the Park Theater in Cranston, RI through May 1.  I attended as a guest of writer/director Ken Dooley, whom KWAPT interviewed about a month ago. The casts consists of exactly one character: Red Auerbach.  Played by actor Jeff Gill, [...]
