The 6 game winning streak was fun while it lasted. Tonight the Celtics treated us to one of those mind-numbing, head-shaking, go-through-the-motion performances we’ve come to hate, yet accept. The result: a 90-78 loss to the Hornets. The Celtics managed just 78 points vs one of the league’s worst defenses. I don’t have a shot [...]

adidas and the NBA unveiled this year’s All Star jerseys (likely to be worn by Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett if the voting stands) Here’s what adidas says about them: the uniforms take inspiration from Houston’s rich aeronautical history and the speed of the jet planes that dot its skies.

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.  ”That doesn’t make a lot of sense to radically change the team when you’re trying to compete to win it all,” Ainge told Dickerson. “We have been [...]

It was a great Monday evening at TD Garden as the US Army, Marines, Navy & Air Force were recognized during “Seats For Soldiers” night. Rondo’s triple-double gave the brave men & women of our Armed Services a lot to cheer about, as he led the C’s to a 100-89 win over Charlotte. The Celts will [...]

Jason Terry… who I think is auditioning for an ESPN or NBA TV job with every interview he does (and I love it) dished on some teammates for ESPN.  His story about Rondo’s pregame routine is insane. His routine is long-winded and it lasts all the way through tip-off. It starts in the back hallway. [...]

Jeff Green has once again dunked his way to number one on NBA.com’s “Dunks of the Week”. His ferocious slam against the Phoenix Suns’ Jermaine O’Neal beat out JR Smith for top honors. I was at the Garden for that one, and man did the building erupt. I know guys like Blake Griffin, Terrence Ross [...]

Who or what deserves credit for the Celtics inspired play and 6-game winning streak? Is it Avery Bradley? Consistent bench play? Whatever the answer, we need to add Keyon Dooling to the list of reasons, reports Jess Camerato: “Keyon Dooling has actually helped, actually,” said Rondo. “He’s been in the locker room, amping guys up. [...]

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters Offense:     Defense:      Overall:  He was 4-4 from 16-23 feet, and despite down-shifting into 3rd gear after starting the game going all out in 5th gear, he still came up with the big play when needed.  Offense:   [...]

The Globe’s Gary Washburn has a great nugget about Kevin Garnett, courtesy Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap. Dunlap then relayed a story he said he was told by a Raptors clubhouse attendant. “He said, ‘Well one time Boston came up in here and lost and Garnett chucked a table in the locker room postgame,’ ” Dunlap [...]
