In late July, Brandon Bass held “Reach Back Week” in his native Louisiana. It featured a celebrity bowling event, basketball camps and a backpack & school supplies drive for local children. The basketball camps all took place in communities that Bass grew-up in. He wants children from those same neighborhoods to know that they too [...]

The madness continues byond the top 4 plays of the year but not before the previous two matchups were voted on and two plays won the clear vote.  The third seed, Pierce’s bomb in Game 5 easily beat Stiemsma’s block on Josh Smith.  However, in a huge upset, Pierce’s three to move ahead of Larry Bird into [...]

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.

Ray Allen and Paul Pierce have hit a ton of threes during the New Big Three Era, some clutch and others were to reach milestones.  Last season Ray Allen surpassed Reggie Miller with a three vs the LA [...]

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.   Allen, 37, rejected a two-year, $12 million offer from Boston to sign a three-year contract worth about $9 million with the champs. It was an awkward [...]

Jason Terry got a new tat. Via his Twitter page, he shared 2 pics: one of him on the table with the artist working on his bicep, and one of the finished product. It’s the Celtics’ mascot, Lucky, with the Larry O’Brien trophy replacing the basketball on his finger. I think I’m going to like [...]
