After a pair of monster games, Fab Melo missed yesterdays Maine Red Claws game (which you can watch in its entirety above) with a mild concussion.  As we know nowadays, concussions are taken quite seriously, so they’ll be very careful with him.  It’s unclear how he suffered the concussion.  He’s listed as day-to-day.

Did I not sufficiently put to rest any thoughts of DeMarcus Cousins in green yesterday?  Maybe Sacramento Kings GM Geoff Petrie will today (via PBT) Reached Monday morning, Petrie said Cousins is not on the block. “You can put that one to rest,” Petrie said. “He’s not going anywhere. You can lay that to rest. [...]

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. One thing that is apparent after the last three games: The Celtics don’t yet trust each other. That’s not to say that Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and [...]

I hear you all screaming. “TRADE THIS GUY!” “GO GET THAT GUY!” You’re frustrated, which is understandable.  But it’s not that easy.  It never is.

This is when you really see who’s with you right now. You know, ain’t nobody cheering. Ain’t no lights on us right now. [...]

If a 118 – 96 loss to the Kings isn’t rock bottom, I don’t know what is. I believe I heard Mike Gorman say this is the first time in 35+ years the Celtics have lost three straight games by 18+ points. This ain’t working… Box score  [...]

As the slumping Celtics get ready to try and somewhat salvage a west coast road trip tonight, Yahoo Sports’ Marc Spears published a great Q & A with Kevin Garnett. In it, KG says ”I hope the young boys know that [respect] is earned. You just don’t get respect in this league. You earn it.” This [...]

It wasn’t pretty last night, as the C’s dropped another road game in ugly fashion. This time, it was the Warriors who blew Boston out-GSW beat the Celts, 101-83. Boston now has one last chance to avoid an 0-3 west coast trip. They travel to SacTown to play the Kings tonight. Tip-off is at 9pm [...]

We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from northern California. Though the Warriors were the team playing a back-to-back, Boston was the one that looked old and tired. Especially when compared to the 20-year-old Barnes, whose fresh legs and [...]
