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 Houston. The Celtics have played so reliably hard that they have been able to scrape together more wins than the other teams going nowhere. But after moving Rajon Rondo and Jeff [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “Right now,Brandon is with us and Brandon may be with us next year and the year after that as well,” Danny Ainge, Boston’s president of basketball [...]

For a half, it looked like the dreaded “first game back off a long road trip” would bite the Celtics in the ass. They were letting Don.. Donta Monte… a big Lithuanian guy have his way with them. And even though James Harden was decidedly not Harden-esque, the Rockets were clearly dominating and running away [...]

Aside from his 29 point explosion against the Celtics, Rondo and the Mavericks have struggled: The Mavs are 11-8 since Rondo’s arrival.

Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “Listen, the guys prepare to win and they know they’re not one of the elite teams in the league, and yet our guys believe that they [...]

The Celtics looked like a team ready to come home from a 10-day road trip. On their final night away from Boston the Cs fell to the Timberwolves 110-98, giving Minnesota its first home win since December 10th. As it’s done all trip, the Celtics’ second unit provided energy on both ends of the floor. [...]

When Brad Stevens announced that Brandon Bass would be starting over Tyler Zeller before the Blazers game, I was surprised. Sure, the starting five of Turner, Bradley, Crowder, Sullinger and Zeller had struggled, but would replacing Zeller with Bass fix that? Does it make sense to bench a 25-year-old center who has been steadily improving [...]
