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 [...]

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 [...]

Hey… remember all those rumors about Marcin Gortat in Boston? Go ahead and give this a read and let me know if you still want the guy: “I think I lost the hunger of the game,” Gortat said. “I wasn’t hungry enough to go and get it just like I used to do. I definitely [...]

23 year old Ryan is a die-hard Celtics fan and loyal reader of RedsArmy. When I received an email saying that he was interested in participating in Fan Friday, I was thrilled.

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters Offense:      Defense:     Overall: He was in hyper-aggressive attack mode for most of the night and it was a pleasure to watch. When was the last time you saw Rondo drop a 12 point, 0 assist [...]
