With the biggest news of the week in the NBA coming out of Los Angeles in the firing of Mike Brown as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, one has to wonder who will inherit the “Super Team” of Nash, Kobe, Pau, and Dwight. I bet we can hardly count the free agent coaches [...]

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 Philadelphia. So maybe it’s true that those who don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it. After all, the loss to the veteran Celtics in the playoffs last season still remains fresh [...]

Another frustrating loss for the Celtics last night. This time to the Sixers. Despite Rajon Rondo’s 20 assists, C’s fall 106-100 at the Garden. Boston will try to redeem themselves tonight in Milwaukee. Tip-off against the Bucks is at 8:30pm EST. Enjoy some game photos & GIFs via HTT & HoopChina in the meantime.  Postgame [...]

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. The 106-100 loss to the Sixers on Friday night was yet another game in which Green’s impact was for the most part, non-existent. In about 18 minutes, [...]

There’s been lots of chatter (too much actually) on the early season struggles of Jeff Green.  While it’s far too early to make any significant judgments, especially with such small sample sizes, it’s always good to at least take a look into certain patterns or issues.  Green is not the only new(ish) member of the [...]

Turns out that really was a death stare. The 1-4 Los Angeles Lakers, with a re-tooled starting line-up and virtually no bench help, have fired Mike Brown.  Brown was just starting year two of a four-year, $18 million deal… which means he’s getting about $13 million or so to do nothing. Let’s be honest here… [...]

I’d like to start this post out by saying thank you to everyone for the great feedback on “Fan Friday”. I had a blast last season meeting, & in some cases, getting to know alot of very cool people. CelticsNation is spread out all over the world. It is truly a blessing that through the [...]

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. “We haven’t really figured out Jeff and when to use Jeff or felt an urgency to go to Jeff,” said Ainge. “I think that Jeff has had [...]

Keyon Dooling was on Katie Couric’s show today to talk about his horrible past of sexual abuse. I’m not going to write anything to accompany this because, quite frankly…. what am I going to add? The only thing I can say is I applaud Keyon’s strength for sharing this story.  It’s amazingly difficult, and his [...]

Celtics eeked out another win last night, mostly due to their tough defense, 100-94 in OT at the Garden. The Wizards just would not go quietly into the night. C’s are now off until tomorrow night when the Sixers come to town. Tip-off at TD Garden is at 7:30pm. Enjoy some pics & GIFs from [...]
