Rondo dished out a total of 219 assists in the month of March, shattering Bob Cousy's 56-year-old record after recording 210 assists in January 1956, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Rondo certainly benefited from having 17 games during the month in this condensed season, but he still averaged 12.9 assists per game for the month. [...]

I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Minnesota. The debate before Friday night's game at Target Center was whether Kevin Garnett in his prime or Kevin Love as a 23-year-old stats monster was the best [...]

That's the headline when you get to the Globe's site today.   C's in first. There are still weeks to go and a lot of games to play.  The Celtics could get hot and increase the lead… they could stay in this dogfight… or they could go cold and miss the playoffs altogether.  I really [...]

"[Pierce is] the guy. [Point guard Rajon] Rondo doesn’t get to the line as much as [...]

After completing one of their best all-around performances of the season, the Celtics defeated the Minnesota TimberWolves and took control of first place in the Atlantic Division.  They have a tough stretch of games coming up, but to me this is where the fun is just getting started.  Last night was a lot of fun [...]

The Celtics started strong and finished even stronger in tonight's 100-79 victory over the Wolves. Kevin Garnett was phenomenal: 24 points, 12-18 FG, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. He dropped 10 points in the 4th quarter. The Wolves tried to make a run midway thru the 4th, but Garnett slammed the door. After [...]

This week's Fan Friday features Dana from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Dana is one of the many Celtics fans that I interact with via Twitter. Despite living thousands of miles from Boston and the TD Garden, the Celtics are very close to her heart.                          [...]

Sherrod Blakely has an update on Ray Allen's ankle: "It feels good; it feels fine," Allen said. "I'll know a little better later on." Allen, who has missed the Celtics' last four games with the injury, will go through his usual pre-game routine which involves getting to the arena early and get up some shots. [...]

Here are my notes from Austin Rivers' appearance on WEEI earlier this morning: What do you do between now and draft day? Keep working out… getting better. Get an agent this weekend… I'll just get ready for workouts so I'll be able to kill them all. Where you might be slotted? Top 10… top 15. [...]
