The Kings recently suspended the talented, but troubled DeMarcus Cousins for unprofessional behavior and conduct detrimental to the team.  Cousins says he wants to remain in Sactown, but does the team still want him? The Celtics could sure use a 22-year-old, 6-11 forward who averages 16 ppg and 9.6 rpg. In a column that’s all [...]

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. Who? Yeah, that was pretty much every Celtics fans’ reaction last night around 11:30pm when the news broke. With Chris Wilcox now out for roughly a month, [...]

Doc Rivers gave Chris Forsberg & the rest of the media the bad news at today’s practice in Waltham: Wilcox hurt the thumb in Tuesday’s game vs the Bulls. It’s being called an “ulnar collateral sprain” of his right thumb. Doc says he’s been told Wilcox should be out somewhere from 3 to 4 weeks. [...]

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. Many opposing point guards had an interesting take on that moment last season when Rondo, rested up, came back on the floor to replace his young backup. [...]

Fab Melo went bonkers tonight in the Red Claws’ 85-78 loss to the Erie Bayhawks. In 36 minutes, Melo tallied a triple-double, the Red Claws 3rd ever, with 15 points, 16 boards and a new D-League record 14 blocks. So is this just one hell of a night for Melo against D-League competition? Or is [...]

Here’s part of my afternoon Twitter exchange with Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix. I’m intrigued by this deal. Pau Gasol would be a huge help to Kevin Garnett, the Celtics jump shot centric offense and (lack of ) rebounding. I’d hate to give up a decade of Avery Bradley for 3 years of Gasol. And a [...]

Despite another huge game from Paul Pierce, the C’s could not put away the Bucks last night. Milwaukee wins the season series 3-1 after their 99-94 win. The Celtics are off until Christmas Day when they have a rematch with the Brooklyn Nets. Tip-off is at Noon EST. Here are some pics & GIFs via [...]

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. Celtics forward Jeff Green sustained a bruised left cheek and chipped multiple teeth after absorbing a stray elbow from Milwaukee’s Ersan Ilyasova in the final moments of overtime in the Bucks’ [...]

I don’t know where to start, so I’m just going to get to the point: other than Paul Pierce, the C’s basically could not hit a shot to save their lives for most of the 2nd half and OT. Monta Ellis and the Bucks hung-around all evening and finish the Celts off 99-94 in OT. [...]

Chris Wilcox (right thumb) and Leandro Barbosa (personal matter not with team) will not play tonight according to #Celtics — Mike Petraglia (@Trags) December 21, 2012 This explains why the Celtics recalled Kris Joseph from the D-League. It might also explain why Wilcox was a DNP the other night.  Courtney Lee is going to have [...]
