I had to check the calendar after the Celtics 107-97 victory over the Spurs.The Cs played like it was November, not March. The offense was crisp. The Celtics shot 54% with 29 assists. I wonder why? Maybe it was Rajon Rondo's electrifying performance? 22 points, 14 assists, 5 rebounds and ZERO turnovers. The boy was [...]

Nenad Krstic left the game late in the 2nd quarter with a right knee injury.  There was no contact on the play… his right knee just buckled as he was running down the court on the fast break.  He's done for the night.  TNT's David Aldridge quoted Doc as saying they're not sure what it [...]

Isiah Thomas can't open his mouth without coming off as a pompous ass.  Probably because he is.  In a Fox Sports interview, he basically admits that he had a hand in the New York Knicks recent moves. “I don't feel (like an outsider),” he says. He pauses, decides to qualify. “From the players? Management? Coaches? [...]

Are you dizzy yet? Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge joined The Big Show for his weekly interview on Thursday afternoon. Ainge was first asked about the status of Shaquille O’Neal. Doc Rivers indicated earlier on Thursday that O’Neal’s achilles injury could be a problem in the postseason. “I was just with Shaq, we were just working out down [...]

  From Chris Forsberg we have video of Jermaine from this morning’s walkthrough/shootaround. He says he was very winded during his first practice which was yesterday, but Doc still thought “he had a good day.”  I predicted early in the season that J.O. would not last the entire 2010-11 campaign, but not because I have anything against [...]

Via Sherrod The Boston Celtics are starting to get worried that Shaquille O'Neal's sabbatical from the game to deal with an assortment of right foot/leg/Achilles tendon continues to take longer than expected to heal. While the goal is to have him suit up before the playoffs, Celtics coach Doc Rivers acknowledged on Thursday that the [...]

The NBA has an issue with some of its refs.  I'm going to be diplomatic here and say that some of them clearly feel like they deserve some fo the spotlight.  Ken Mauer has shown time and time again that he's one of those guys.  Take, for instance, last night's game in Phoenix. With the [...]
