Note:  This is a serious piece that does not concern basketball very much and deals with  mature subject matter.  If you’re not mature enough to handle it, you can go away now.  I implore you, though, to read my disclaimer at the bottom before making any comments on this piece.   Doc Rivers has always [...]

Celtics showed last night that despite all of their off-season acquisitions, they still have some work to do. Boston fell to Miami, 120-107. We got to see quite a few interesting pairs of kicks as Rondo & Jeff Green both wore a polarized pink colorway of the Nike Foamposite One. We also got another look [...]

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters  Rajon Rondo:  The 20 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds make for a spectacular line.  The aggressive moves to the rim to get easy (or relatively easy for him) were great.  He still had 4 turnovers and stretches [...]

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 Miami. “I got my kids watching so I stopped myself but it was a punk play by him,” said Wade, who had a team-best 29 points in the win. “He clotheslined [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline.

I know it’s October, but I expected so much more from the Celtics. After all the talk about the Heat and Ray Allen, I expected the defensive intensity to be there. It wasn’t. And the Heat rolled 120-107. LeBron James had 26 points in 29 minutes. If he doesn’t sit out most of the 4th [...]

From the Celtics, who proudly proclaim… Here’s some exclusive video confirmation that Courtney Lee can really stroke the corner 3: telly.com/U92U9 — Boston Celtics (@celtics) October 30, 2012 The Celtics got shooters. As I press publish… game time is 90 minutes away…..   [...]

In a move that surprised no one (except maybe for the timing of the announcement), the Celtics have exercised the fourth year option on Avery Bradley’s contract. From the press release: Bradley, a 6’2” guard, had a breakout season during the 2011-12 season recording career highs in virtually every statistical category. Bradley averaged 7.6 points, [...]

Came across this great picture this morning on Anta’s official Weibo page. The artist has drawn KG as a fireman, with “Beat Heat” in the background. Notice the Anta “KG3” on his feet.  Absolutely fantastic.. We’re 6 hours away from tip-off and Doc Rivers tells Celtics.com that the Heat’s ring ceremony “is what it is.” [...]
