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. “I don’t know, we have a connection and it works,” Garnett said. “I haven’t really sat back and analyzed it, but every situation is different, and I [...]

Another night, another win for the Boston Celtics. This time it’s over the Phoenix Suns 87-79 for Boston’s 4th in a row. Celtics have Thursday off to prepare for James Harden and the Houston Rockets who come to the Garden on Friday. Tip-off is at 7:30pm. Enjoy some pics/GIFs from last night’s win via Hoop China. [...]

This is one of my favorite non-basketball moments during an NBA broadcast (my favorite is still the “good job, good effort” kid). For those who don’t know, the NBA has scheduled TV time-out in every game somewhere within the 5:00 and 2:00 marks (and 8:00 marks in then 2nd and 4th quarters).  At 5:09, there [...]

Kevin Garnett’s dust-up with Carmelo Anthony reached tabloid proportions when it was “reported” that he made a Honey Nut Cheerios comment about Melo’s wife. Despite the sketchy source of this report, the media has gradually accepted it as fact. I’m not talking about bloggers and tabloids, I’m talking about legitimate reporters and analysts. They may [...]

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters Offense:     Defense:      Overall:  Kind of a blah effort from Rondo for most of the night.  He looked aggressive early, and he had spurts of energy, but overall, not much to speak of.  He had more energy [...]

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. “In one of those (AAU) games, he had like 27 rebounds and it was crazy watching him,” Rivers said. “I was upset at all my son’s bigs [...]

The Celtics are an incredibly frustrating team to watch at times, and they did nothing to wash themselves of that image despite a eight point victory over the Phoenix Suns tonight. The Celtics held large double digit leads on the Suns on multiple occasions, only to blow both back down to single digits, or giving up [...]

It has been close to five years since basketball has left the city of Seattle. We may see the return of a team to the city at the beginning of next season. According to Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, The Maloof family is close to an agreement to sell the Sacramento Kings for $500 Million dollars to [...]

Here’s (alleged) proof of the Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett encounter Monday night near the Celtics bus at Madison Square Garden. While it’s nothing more than a lot of barking and jostling, it’s more evidence that Anthony perpetuated the on-court incident. I don’t see any way Melo avoids a suspension for this behavior. Let’s recap: [...]
