Marquis sucks... his contributions in game 3 must be the most overrated thing of all time, he sucked all year, didnt play all year for a reason and has been bad as a celtic pretty much altogether...Pietrus is....or i guess was a much better player before tthe concussion...now they both suck
Giving Pietrus some of the credit he deserves
Mickael Pietrus is a funny guy. I don't just mean that in a "he makes everyone laugh" kind of way, although, he certainly does that. I mean it in a polite, flummoxed way. He has the ability to put the ball to the floor and drive, but he doesn't because he says he's been scared off by his i...
I dont care if he went a 2 minutes doing nothing but getting offensive rebounds...he sucked and deserves little credit for anything at all...hes been....hmm...pathetic...I like the guy dont get me wrong but hes been dreadful, not just that but we never scored on that possession

not to mention its wear the start of the shoulder problems occured...we couldve done without that block
Avery Bradley has small tears in his shoulder
The news on Avery Bradley continues to get worse: Boston Celtics second-year shooting guard Avery Bradley is expected to soon undergo season-ending surgery to repair small tears that have compromised the structure of his ailing left shoulder, according to a league source. Bradley has endured a ...
I know its crazy to think but this really really really reallly really diminishes our chances almost entirely...his defense was HUGE in this years resurgance and would be perfect for the game 7 and going forward.
with that said, his block on d wade was fantastic but possibly the most overrated play of the year, or ever for that mattter...great block sure but right to a wide open 3 point shooter who drilled it

Alright....I like Bass but hes an effective role player...saying hes a young paul pierce is the dumbest thing ive ever heard
Recap: Celtics deliver 2nd half Bass-kicking
Raise your hand if you had Brandon Bass in the Game 5 clutch performer pool. Anyone? Anyone? The soft-spoken big man scored 18 of his game high 27 points in the 3rd quarter as the Celtics dominated the 2nd half and beat Philly 101-85. The Celtics were sleep-walking through the first half. They...
Dedicated to the all the idiotic Bass haters..
remember... him going to the 4 and moving KG to the 5 playing solid basketball was PART of the reason for the celtics resurgance...so all you unappreciative douchbags jumping down his throat after a bad start to the playoffs this is for you

I think KG has been playing fanastic, i was here the other day saying probably my favorite KG year..but to play devils advocate to all the KG hype lately coming from even myself....he started doing it against a banged up Josh smith, Al horford who had been out all year (and still played amazingly) and now Lavoy allen? I honestly didnt know who this was before this series and there was even a time last night he was effectively checked by evan turner...sigh
But with that said KG is not the problem...the problem last night, unfortunately was Pierce...hes getting dominated by Iggy out there
Enemy Chatter: Lavoy Allen neutralized Kevin Garnett
Photo by Brian Babineau/NBAE via Getty Images 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 Philadelphia. And finally, Lavoy Allen. I clearly timed my post yesterday around thi...
Nice post! haha I was a big critic of KG as you may remember and I have to say since all star break this has been my favorite KG year of all and ill be sad if he decides to retire at the end of this run.
A quick appreciation of Kevin Garnett (and his complete Game 6 highlights)
I know I've said it before. I've already admitted that writing Kevin Garnett off four months ago was stupid. I guess after last night, I realized just how stupid it was. Kevin Garnett is, was, and forever will be one of the most unique individuals on the planet. His demeanor can be s...
In fairness Pierce stuck it out simply because he was never traded, there was a time when he asked for a trade
Report: Celtics offered Pierce to Portland
Color me skeptical... but's out there. While Boston Celtics boss Danny Ainge has said Rajon Rondo will not be traded, he is still actively seeking offers for members of the Big Three. The Celtics offered Paul Pierce to Portland -- I'm not sure what they asked for in return -- but the Blazers w...
This is actually embarrasing
.....for ainge...and for portalnd to not want pierce to have space to sign nicolas batum?! are you kidding me?
The only player on portland worth talking is lamarcus aldridge and that would just be dumb to even try to get him with pierce.. but if hes offering pierce for portlands trash im really embarassed

Completly plausible that had Dwight played in Bills era, he wouldve been better or as good, and sorry but Russ aint winning 11 rings in todays era....in terms of legacy dwight is nothing compared to the legend himself
Dwight's better than Russ? It's an impossible argument
Bill Russell is as untouchable a figure in Celtics lore as anyone is to any team's history. Question him or his greatness and you will incur the wrath of Celtics fans far and wide. Dare to imply that any current player can hold a candle to him and you face being stoned in the town square. I'm...
They had better years, althought none of them achieved consistent above mediocrity like jerry sloan.
Michael Jordan retired 2 seasons, and the Jazz didnt even make the finals
Breaking: Jerry Sloan leaving the Jazz
Quick... who was the coach of the Utah Jazz before Jerry Sloan? Sloan, who has been the head coach in Utah since before some of you were born (1988) is quitting. KSL has learned that Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and assistant coach Phil Johnson will resign at a press conference later Thursday....
actually knew it was frank layden bc i had some of those blooper movies as a kid, still have em.... how ya allll doiiin
Bout time, probably the single most overrated coach ever bc of blind commitment from there GM.... never won a thing, not even with 2 first ballot hall of famers for there entire career...never even mustered up a coach of the year award
:)

This is already a given that KG is allowed to get away with things other players couldnt do or say...only a homer would refute it..
Tim Donaghy and the Celtics: Part I - The KG Rule
Akin to calling a foul several seconds after it was committed, reading and reviewing this book is a little late on my part admittedly. To me, Tim Donaghy's "Personal Foul" was well worth the time as well as the wait. While the majority of you have probably already received the general intel of...
Who cares about the Yankees hat honestly, he spent most of his career in New York, who even cares if hes a fan of them? hes a celtic, doesnt mean he has to sport or be a fan of the red sox...dont understand that concept
Nate gets his groove on (in a Yankees hat... ugh)
This was at the WNBA Finals in Seattle. Ugh... Nate... Yankees? C'mon, son.
You make many good points, and I like delonte, and even want to agree with you...but hes bipolar, and if he goes through a manic or depressive stage its not gonna matter who his general manager, coach or teammates are.
Him getting in trouble while with cleveland had little to nothing to do with his teammates or management.
Danny: "I'm a fan of Delonte"
"I'd [make the Delonte trade] again, of course, but we really liked Delonte when he was here. Even though we knew the issues and the challenges he needed to take care of, we also think Delonte is in a better place today than he was the day he left. He wasn't perfect, but we still liked the pl...
I like the pick up fine, but i dont like the blatant homerism that because hes a celtic he wont get in trouble off the court

Deepest NBA frontcourt in NBA history?
lol, cmon
Almost all of which are past their primes, and our starting center will miss half the season
how is avery bradley going to get minutes over rondo, or nate robinson?
Summer Forecast: Rookie Impact
Which Celtics rookie will make the biggest impact this season? Avery Bradley gets the nod in the latest installment of ESPN Boston's Summer Forecast. I agree with the majority: Avery Bradley. I'm not sure Harangody and Erden will see much action, buried behind the deepest frontcourt in the hi...
Sorry but even as a die hard celtics fan, this is one of the dumber things Doc has Said
Vladamir Radmonovic and Lamar Odom were starting in the 08 finals, they had no Artest, Bynum and Trevor Ariza at the time was about 50%
Doc Rivers won't give the Lakers credit
Via Sports Radio Interviews: Number one you gotta congratulate them because they won. They still have not beaten our starting five. Our starting five against the Lakers starting five has a ring. Tell him (Lakers fan and ESPN 980 radio show host Doc Walker) don’t forget that. We will be back str...
Why are chris paul and deron williams put on such pedestals? um they aint perfect, and they aint done shit either
Rondo the 3rd best PG in the league?
Ball Don't Lie's Kelly Dwyer is ranking every position in the league from #30 on down to #1. Today, the top 10 point guards were unveiled... with Rondo taking the 3rd spot behind Deron Williams and Chris Paul.A big jump for Rajon, who could be incredibly overrated, or playing the role of th...
what does david lee have to do with anything?
Rondo's awesome shirt
If you can't read it, it says "I have a ring, I'm better than Derrick Rose & David Lee". I must have this. It's all part of a commercial shoot for NBA 2K11. More photos on Rondo's facebook. Derrick Rose has a shirt of his own... and I assume David Lee does too... though I didn't see it. ...
Barnes sucks
Report: Matt Barnes down to Cavs, Lakers
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports: Unless Cleveland raises multi-year offer that starts around $3.5M, Matt Barnes will sign a 1-year, $1.7M deal with Lakers Hey Matt, sign with somebody, anybody... please. I need closure on NBA free agency.
No, no you couldnt score 50 against those kids. Nice try.
Rare video of Rondo's double-nickle
Since I'm no longer in Vegas and no longer grabbing video of Rajon Rondo practicing with Team USA... here's a video from back in the day... when Rondo was destroying people in high school with a 55 point game.. Thanks to KWAPT for the link.
Matt Barnes sucks...
Any remember pierce having his best series with this bum defending him?
Is Matt Barnes coming to Boston?
UPDATE: Citing two sources, CSNNE's Sherrod Blakely says it's unlikely the Celtics will land Matt Barnes. The Mavericks, Lakers and Heat are the alleged favorites. Via the Orlando Sentinel: Matt Barnes and his agent are close to finalizing a free-agent deal that could send Barnes to one of the O...
why are celtics fans saying not enough basketballs to go around and it will take time to build chemistry?
Its the same thing that was said about us 2 seasons ago...what happened?
Im not convinced it will def work either, but not for those reaons..
Mannix: Even with LeBron, Heat won't beat Celtics
Via WEEI: I think next season it would be extremely difficult. Now, I’m convinced that Michael Beasley is going to stay on the roster because they can’t give him away for a ham sandwich. They’re trying to pass him off on every team in the league, which is a little mind-boggling considering that t...
