According to the Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn, the Jeff Green deal could be official next week: David Falk, the agent for Jeff Green, told the Boston Globe that his client’s deal with #celtics is close and should be official next week — gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) August 18, 2012 *UPDATE* 10:20pm The fine folks over at CelticsBlog just [...]

This still bums me out. I’m so happy Larry Bird doesn’t play today.  Somehow, some way, people would over-analyze him, overreact to him, and over-emphasize things that aren’t important about him. The back injury that ultimately shortened his career?  He hurt it putting up a retaining wall at his Indiana home… when he easily could [...]

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.  All hail Paul Pierce, the only player to rank in the top five in both seasons. The Celtics’ small forward ascended to the top in 2011-12, when [...]

In a complete blowout, Rajon Rondo’s Nike Hyperfuse p.e.’s in white & black won our latest poll. Ray Allen’s Fly 23 were no match as Rondo got 88% of your votes. Now, on to our next poll… 15) Rajon Rondo Hyperfuse 2011 home white p.e. These are Rajon’s go to kicks.  He has at least [...]

With there being an obvious lull in basketball news, I’ve taken the downtime to focus my studies on three subjects that have fascinated me for quite some time, the Black Sox scandal, Greek Mythology, and the World Wars. Yes, a strange combination but one of these spawned the basic premise of an article. Don’t worry, [...]

The madness marches on as we move down the brackets towards the top 10.  Brandon Bass is featured in both plays of today’s edition, but for two different reasons.  Bass had a fantastic first year with the Celtics, excelling in the spot left by Glen Davis, whom he was traded for.  While Bass provided C’s [...]

The Dream Team. The greatest team ever assembled. A collection of some of the greatest players to ever play the game. ….. and Christian Laettner. Well, the Dookie can finally get some burn for the Dream Team… if you get the new NBA 2K13 game.  Yep, you can start Laettner if you want… you can [...]

Boston has an irrational fixation with Antoine Walker.  Yes, he had a few nice seasons with the Celtics, but he was also a wild chucker who twice shot under 40% for entire seasons in his prime.  He also shot once 25.6% from 3 in his early years as a Celtic.   He then became a [...]

Kevin Garnett paid a visit to FY Ink in Ontario last week to get a new tat on his upper chest. Chris Bosh is also a client of FY, so not sure if perhaps he gave Ticket the suggestion. It’s a bit hard to tell from the pic, but a dragon is my best guess. What [...]

Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck appeared on CNBC this morning to talk business and basketball. His most interesting comment was about Kevin Garnett: Announcer guy: There’s got to be a lot of stories about Garnett, his passion and his emotion. What’s your favorite Garnett story? Wyc: The funny thing about KG is that there’s really no story because there’s a [...]
