The internet is outraged (and if you care about these awards, then justifiably so) that Jamal Crawford won the 6th Man of the Year award again. It’s his third time, but there were definitely more deserving candidates. I bet a lot of the complainers would be placated if you lopped Crawford off the top and [...]

Avery Bradley is hurt and will miss Game 2. Kelly Olynyk is hurt and might miss Game 2. Jae Crowder is hurt but he’s playing in Game 2. It all seems like a recipe for disaster, but there is hope for the Celtics if they can just keep their heads in the game and not [...]

We’re already dealing with a pretty tough blow with the loss of Avery Bradley in this series. Now the Celtics, desperate for shooting, are dealing with the potential loss of one of the only guys who can be counted on (usually) to hit 3’s. Kelly Olynyk (right shoulder) will not practice today and coach Brad [...]

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.

Isaiah Thomas penned a Player’s Tribune piece about his trade to Boston and falling in love with the city. It is full of great passages that you will read over and over again as your green blood races through your body and fills it with Boston pride. This is just a little bit… from last [...]

Yeah, I know you’re sick of Kobe’s goodbye. The good news is that it’s just about over. But Nike basketball’s contribution to the cacophony is actually a nicely done musical tribute that says a lot about the farewell. It’s not lost on us that Kobe is orchestrating the whole thing much like he is the people in [...]

This has been a spectacular season by just about any measure, but in the heat of what the end of this season has become, this is not the best feeling in the world. The Celtics went from controlling their own destiny for the 3rd seed to controlling their own destiny for the 4th seed to [...]

The Celtics quest for the third seed is probably over, which means the focus is now on preserving home court and winning that 4th seed by beating Charlotte and Miami to end the season. Jay King and I talk about Isaiah Thomas’ struggles against Atlanta, why the Hawks are now a very dangerous team, and who [...]

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. “I don’t ever wear down,” he said. “I got, I think, 15 shots in the paint so they really didn’t pressure me that much. I had [...]
