Yeah… as in Michael Sweetney.  So tweets Adrian Wojnarowski. Doc Rivers sounds determined to keep Mike Sweetney.

Our friends at NESN.com are the latest (Sactown Royalty and CelticsBlog) to jump on the Andres Nocioni-to-Boston trade bandwagon. For those unfamiliar with the 29-year old, 6-7, 220lb forward, Nocioni has averaged 11.9 ppg, 5.1 rpg for his career.

Buckle up kids.  This year is going to be a great one.  We're 1 day into the pre-season and everyone is walking around in amazement after seeing how well everyone is working together.  The quote in the headline comes from a guy who probably won't even be around much longer to see everything really come [...]

Via Greg Dickerson of CSNNE.com: Allen, entering his 6th season with Boston, was out of commission for 13 weeks this summer with a torn tendon in his ankle. His status for the preseason is questionable. Allen only appeared in 42 games for the Celtics in the 2008/09 season. Tony Allen missed 13 weeks this summer [...]
