Uhh... how about starting Bradley and make Ray come out of the bench when he will be healthy? It would be beneficial for both units (as long as Avery keeps this pace).
Recap: KG sticks it to Wolves, one more time
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 slam...
Well, given that we're talking about overseas basketball... E'Twaun Moore and Scalabrine are on national tv right now here in Italy. Moore is playing poorly (0-5 FG), Scal has 16 points and counting...

This is completely, utterly moronic.
We took two useless players, and gave OKC the last piece they needed to be a contender.
What the f**k Danny?
WHAT

How 'bout making a trade for Gallinari? Seems like the Nuggets don't want him.
Scratch Posey off the list (for now)
Via Chris Mannix: Pacers will not buyout James Posey, source says. Scratch him off the list of potential free agent pickups for contenders. Mannix is single-handledly squashing all my trade deadline hopes and dreams. First he nixes the deal for Shane Battier (he elaborated on WEEI this morning),...
Poor guys are so angry they got their ass busted again. Sorry pals, we want LA a lot more than you.
Side note: these glasses are HORRIBLE. Seriously, they disturb me.
Udonis Haslem says Paul Pierce is a "studio gangster"
The Miami Herald's Joseph Goodman sent out this tweet: Udonis Haslem called Paul Pierce a "studio gangster" today after practice. Quote of the year. Not sure what prompted Haslem to lash out at Paul. Could it have been the Celtics second consecutive win over Miami? Could it be the realization...
I hated ESPN before, I hate it even more now.
And I was indifferent about the so-called three kings, now I just hope someone beats the crap out of them. It's outrageous, especially the thought they will automatically go near or surpass the 72-game win mark.
ESPN continues tongue bath of Heat
In what must be an attempt to piss off the 29 other teams in the NBA, ESPN is adding to its already over-the-top coverage of the Miami Heat. Not only will they bombard us with incessant television coverage of the Heat, but we'll also find that same drivel online. The "Heat Index" launches O...
I hope we're really done with last year's BS losses to the likes of the Knicks and the Clippers. They were not as painful as game 7, but man they hurt.

Why play Sheed, WHY? I hate Doc.
Recap: Mo steals the show
It pains me to say this, but the man I love to call Mr. Front-runner did-in the Celtics tonight. Mo Williams scored 14 of his 20 points during the 3rd quarter as the Cavaliers fought back from an 11 point deficit and beat the Celtics 101-93. The Celtics built a 54-43 halftime lead thanks to R...
It is called Adriatic League.
Remember kids, celebrate AFTER time expires
I don't really know which league this was in other than to guess it was somewhere central-Europe-ish. Quite honestly, I don't care. I just love the guys who celebrated like idiots when time was left on the clock... and the fact that they had to sit there and watch the other team celebrate...
I'm one of Doc's biggest critics but I'm giving credit to him, he's been good the last two games. Maybe he's been learning from the past, maybe he's seen Sheed is the cancer of the Celtics and he's learned TA's good in defending guards (I remember when the Fakers played in Boston in January and he was by far the best weapon against them, and then inexplicably Doc sat him). I hope he keeps the pace for the rest of the playoffs.
Credit where credit is due: Doc's coaching a gem
Doc Rivers gets a lot of grief around here. Sometimes he deserves it. Sometimes he doesn't. That's part of being a head coach. But right now, he's not getting the credit for making two huge, ballsy decisions that won the Celtics the first two games of this series. Late in Game 1, when the ...
I hope the Bucks whip their ass in the first round. Maybe then they'll understand and finally apologize to us fans for refusing to play for one entire reason.
Your Morning Dump... Where KG doesn't get it
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “Then don’t come to the (expletive) games,” said Kevin Garnett in a relatively low tone as he headed from the court. “It d...
As bad as Nelson is, I don't think he would have overplayed Bird, McHale, Parish, and especially DJ like Jones did.
Don Nelson's worst decision ever
Via ESPN: "There were two opportunities I probably should have made happen. One was when we beat the Celtics in the playoffs in Milwaukee [in 1983]. They were going to make a coaching change. I think Bill Fitch was their coach at the time. After the last game, Red [Auerbach] walked by and asked ...
Who are the two a-holes at ESPN? Nate can't dunk, but LeBitch can dance while winning and Kobe can dunk whenever he wants. I call that COHERENCE.
It was worth the BS technical
No... ref who's never dunked a basketball... go ahead. Call tech on the little guy whose momentum caused him to swing almost on top of someone. Of course Nate should have let go, fallen onto the guy below him, and potentially hurt himself. Idiot. Oh... awesome dunk, by the way.
If I was Danny I would already be searching for a new coach, a REAL coach. They said Doc could motivate the guys, what about now? He can't motivate them. He can't manage the starters' minutes. He can't manage the bench. And look at Bill Walker, he averages 11.4 pts and 61% FG in NY, and he barely seen the floor in garbage time in Boston.
We can't win this year or next for what it's worth. But if we get a coach on the bench, we can still have a nice season next year instead of horribly sucking and barely manage to get over .500.
T-Mobile Recap: The Cavs are better
There are a million reasons why the Celtics lost 104-93 this afternoon to the Cavs. Sure, I could blast the Celtics for their lack of hustle, heart, desire, rebounding, etc. But the main reason is... Cleveland is a better team. Miraculously, this game was tied at 68 with 5 minutes left in th...
Uhhh... the Spurs had a real coach, we don't.
Need Inspiration? Look to the 2006-07 Spurs
Like many of us, I'm looking for reasons to believe in this Celtics team. I figured I'd do some research and see if any of the recent NBA champions struggled mightily during the regular season like the 2009-10 Celtics. The answer is yes. Here are some excerpts from the Spurs 2006-07 recap on...
FIRE DOC!
Celtics/Nets Game Preview

I give him credit for winning, but was it necessary to tank the last weeks, and ESPECIALLY playing with an injury against NO, just to make it into this?
I just hope that once this all-star shit is over the Celtics can focus on the right thing.
The Truth for 3!!!!
Paul Pierce wins the 3-point shootout thanks to a 20-point final round in which he nailed 5 money balls. Pierce beat out Stephon Curry (17 pts) and Chauncey Billups (14 pts). NBA.com Recap
For this year, we just need a coach with balls. Not one that just likes to talk to the press and can't manage this falling team... what other coach would let Pierce play, to let him go to the fuckin' 3-POINT CONTEST? Why does he play the former big 3 so much if they are not healthy? Why can't the bench stay on the floor when it's on fire? We kept Doc because he's a good motivator, they said. Well, now he ain't motivating NOTHING, what is his use now? If only we had Phil Jackson or Larry Brown...
A meeting of the families to discuss the state of the Celtics
Everyone is in a panic over what's going on with the Celtics. People are snapping their ankles jumping off the bandwagon. So I assembled some of the finest minds... on short notice, by the way, so thanks to them for that... to discuss the current state of the Celtics. They are: Zach from...
Fire Doc AND Sheed, and maybe we can win again.
Your Morning Dump... We gotta get that look back
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “Oh yeah, I get a lot of that,” Rivers said. “But enough with the talk, you know? I had a conga line in my office today. T...
KG is over. It's painful to watch him play right now.
Frauds
I hate this team... How can a team with veteran leadership and championship pedigree play so inconsistently? They are incapable of delivering knockout blows. The 3rd quarter may have been the worst quarter of basketball I've seen by any Celtics team in years. The Cs walked out of the locker ...
And in the meanwhile Hudson drops 13 on the Lakers. Maybe he could have been of use in this slump.
Your Morning Dump... Where the sky isn't falling, I think
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Rivers even mocked the panic a bit, noting that both the Orlando and Los Angeles games came down to the final possession, and...
I'm dead serious. Why didn't he play Rondo in the last play, why didn't he keep Tony in when he was on fire, why did he play the ghost of Sheed so much, WHY?
That was a kick in the balls...
Kobe Bryant (19 points, 8-20 FG) overcame a mediocre performance and drained a go-ahead jumper with 7 seconds left to beat the Celtics 90-89. Rajon Rondo played a brilliant game - 21 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds. Doc inexplicably went without Rondo on the court for the final play. Had I d...
