With all of the madness and uncertainly surrounding the NBA free agent clock that strikes at midnight, Paul Pierce has joined the fray by opting out of his contract.  Speculation has already been running rampant including this gem from an ESPN.com Q & A with their "experts."  Check out the screen shot below for their [...]

Via Steve Bulpett of the Herald: Doc Rivers is not opting out. The Celtic coach will be returning to the club for at least the remaining season on his contract, a source close to Rivers indicated moments ago. The fact Rivers is staying on would seem to be an encouraging sign that the Celtics’ main [...]

Via Mark Murphy: Should Pierce sign elsewhere, Ainge said that doesn’t mean the Celtics’ chances at another NBA title over the next two years would necessarily be aborted. “There’s too many other things that factor in right now,’’ said Ainge. “Who else can we get? But it’s not all dependent on getting Paul back. I [...]

I'll admit, that headline sounds more hopeful than the entire tone of this interview Doc gave in San Antonio yesterday.  He's still solidly, if his words are taken at face value, on the fence.  He genuinely seems conflicted between the pull of family and the pull of his team.  He says flat out that the [...]

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.

Ever since Doc Rivers informed the media that Rasheed Wallace intends to retire following the crushing Game 7 loss in the NBA Finals, there has been much confusion as to what this means for the Celtics' salary cap situation.  Is his salary wiped off the books completely?  Do the Celtics get some sort of relief [...]

 We all know the one thing luring Doc Rivers away from the Celtics is the call of his family.  And while all of his kids are tremendous athletes, the one with the most promise is clearly his son Austin.  The kid is already one of the top college prospects in America (ESPN ranks him #2), [...]

Stop me if you've heard this one before… A mega-star free agent meets with another mega-star free agent and maybe a couple other big names and they plot the entire course of a league's future.  Sounds a lot like something that a lot of people say just happened…. only it didn't. Two of Dwyane Wade's [...]

The NBA off-season always brings the crazy out of people.  Everyday one can read about where player X is signing or where player Y is getting traded.  It's a fun and exciting show to observe and follow and it seems like more and more fans enjoy it more than the actual games that get played [...]
