“We told them before the (Brooklyn Nets) game that they were off (Saturday),” Rivers said of Pierce and Garnett. As for Bass, he is being held out as a precautionary measure after a right knee collision in the first half of Thursday’s win at Brooklyn. “If it were a regular season game, he would have played [...]

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. And yet, through six preseason games, Sullinger has stood out both for his on-court play — 11 points, 7 rebounds, 56 percent shooting in 25 minutes — [...]

A couple of quotes after last night’s game have slipped under the radar.  Both are awesome explanations about why the Celtics looked so good against Brooklyn last night… and both are so perfectly indicative of the person who uttered them.  I could not tell you who said them, and there’s no doubt in my mind [...]

Fan Friday is a regular feature run by KWAPT that highlights some great Celtics fans.  That regular feature will return in a few weeks.  This, though, is a special Fan Friday sent to us by one of our readers.  We loved the story about this young child’s experience with Jeff Green so much, we had [...]

He wore the Volt/Gorge Green Nike Hyperfuse 2012 seen in Jose3030′s pic above. If so inclined, you can cop a pair now [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline.

How did Brooklyn respond? They got steamrolled. The Celtics were aggressive on both ends of the floor and dominated this game from [...]
