Of course everyone wants to play in LA.
"Untouchable" Andrew Bynum?
Mike Brown is the new Lakers head coach... a result of team VP Jim Buss' search. It's part of a new push to distance the Lakers from the Phil Jackson era and move in a new direction. Now... I know what a lot of you are thinking. That new direction will involve Dwight Howard because everyone ...
How did that Perkins trade work out for you?
Bulls blogger ready to ship Noah out of town
Less than 18 hours after the 5 game beatdown at the hands of the Heat, one Chicago Bulls blogger is already calling for a major shake-up: The playoffs may have exposed what they are: Boozer, while clearly still hurt, only excels against mediocre competition. He doesn’t do well against bona fide ...
No Kristic, no Shaq but at least you have JO. Better fire Ainge now before he does more damage.
Shaq reinjures right foot
After dazzling us with six points in 5 minutes, Shaqulille O'Neal pulled up lame while running up the court in the 2nd quarter. He did not make contact with any other player. According to Greg Dickerson, Shaq was in so much pain he had to stop in the tunnel and needed a wheelchair to take him ...
LMAO @ Danny Ainge. I hate to see Shaq hurt clearly he is not to be counted on during the playoffs. What the fuck was Ainge thinking?
Shaq injures right calf, not Achilles
Here's an important update to Shaq's injury. It's the right calf... and not his Achilles. I repeat... it's the right calf and not the Achilles. What's the deal with severe calf injuries? KG had a similar injury a few months back vs the Pistons. (video courtesy Jose3030)
Shaq is done. Comes back from an injury and gets injured again. Ainge is not looking too bright. Bye bye Boston.
Recap: Sloppy Celtics still good enough to beat Detroit
(Photo by Brian Babineau/NBAE via Getty Images) The Celtics red-hot shooting offset their sloppy passing in tonight's 101-90 victory over Detroit. How hot? 64% FG and 63% 3 FG. How sloppy? 19 turnovers. The Celtics put this one away with a 15-2 run in the 3rd quarter. Kevin Garnett had 13 of ...
How does the Perkins trade taste now? Ainge is a moron and screwed Boston's chances for another title.
Recap: Celtics wilt down the stretch
(AP Photo/John Bazemore) Welcome to the 3rd seed! The Celtics played a solid game for about 3 quarters before collapsing over the final 12 minutes in Atlanta. How bad was the 4th quarter? The Cs scored 15 points on 29% shooting. Atlanta killed the Celtics on the boards (52-38). They had 14 off...
That was dumb. Insulting a team that is better and is playing better than yours is a sign of weakness and stupidity. At this point it looks like Miami is going to smash Boston in the second round.

Yo Celtics! What the fuck is wrong? Better start winning or you'll miss your finals date with LA.
Your Morning Dump... Doc is feeding us a load of BS
(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) 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. Doc Rivers has made no secret about wanting the top seed in the East. Still, you don't ...
It's going to be the Bulls out of the East. Danny Ainge fucked up big time when he traded Perkins.
Eye on the enemy, where its Bosh's fault again
Its time to start focusing on the playoffs and our potential roadblocks to Banner 18. Every day we'll bring you what's making news in enemy territory. This way we know what they're up to when it comes time to take 'em out. EASTERN CONFERENCE Heat Index: With less than two minutes remaining...
You still have KG. Muzzle that guy, will ya?
It hasn't been a 'technical foul fest' like we feared
Back in the preseason, most of us were pissed off about the league's new 'respect for the game' mandate. This was going to result in a ton of technical fouls especially for our mouthy Boston Celtics - or so we thought. NBA.com's Fran Blinebury: A year ago there were 866 technical fouls called, c...
Why am I not getting excited? Oh yeah its because JO is done.
Jermaine O'Neal is ready to return
Twitter / A. Sherrod Blakely: Unless he has an unexpecte ... via kwout Of course... the term "unexpected setback" and "O'Neal" have been synonymous this season (and with both O'Neals). So we'll have to wait and really see if he's back tomorrow. BUT... any tall person who can theore...
The Celtics have seen their enemy. Guess what? It's themselves. Do yourselves a favor and fire DA once and for all.

Only two chicks? Was it a sausage fest?
Red's Army team photo
I'd like to thank everyone that came out to Red Sky in Boston last night for our 5th anniversary celebration. Despite the Celtics giving us a scare, we got a win, and everyone had a great time Shouts to Red Sky Boston for being a great host, Svedka Vodka, Muze Clothing and TiqIQ for their spon...
The Celtics are 5-5 since they traded Perkins. How dumb is Danny?
Recap: The Celtics continue to drive me mad
(AP Photo/Michael Conroy) Ugh. How many ways can I say the Celtics are playing like crap? Here's the definition of inconsistency: The Celtics scored 33 points in the 1st quarter, 16 in the 2nd quarter, 36 in the 3rd quarter and 15 in the 4th quarter. KG had 6 points, 6 rebounds in 24 foul-pla...

The Suns are having a terrible season and it is getting to Nash. There were questionable calls in both directions so a clean game it wasn't.
The timeout by Gentry and the three pointer by Rondo were both punk moves. Just play the game.
Your Morning Dump... Where the Suns coaches embarrassed themselves
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. "I had seen how heated it was," Green said. "I was talking to [Garnett] before the game and [the Celtics] were ready for this g...
Team allegiance has nothing to do with my comments on the moves Boston has made. You may be right in that Ainge had no choice but to pick from the garbage heap. But this is directly a result of the mistakes he made over the summer.
JO was a good signing? For a MLE? I hope you didn't support that move. Also I don't want to speak bad about an injured player but the Daniels signing was also questionable.
As I am not a fan of the Celtics I can view the moves more objectively than a fan that will look at them through the eyes of a homer. You may not like what I have to say but it should give you reason to ponder and see things as they really are.
C's sign Pavlovic
This just makes what we already expected official BOSTON -- After losing out to the Dallas Mavericks in their quest to add freshly bought out Corey Brewer, the Celtics are set to sign veteran swingman Sasha Pavlovic to add depth at the swingman position, a league source confirmed. Pavlovic, a...
So you guys picked up a Dallas/New Orleans reject? I promise I won't even mention the Cavaliers. Oops I did it again.
Nice move Danny.

As long as Big Baby does not live up to his nickname everything will be fine.
Recap: KG, Celtics frye the Suns
Nice headline, huh? Very Boston Herald of me. Some of you are probably pissed off that the Suns whittled a 29-point Celtics 3rd quarter lead down to 8 midway through the 4th quarter. The Suns reserves destroyed the Celtics second and third unit combo, forcing Doc to return the starting 5 back ...
It's funny that the Celtics have LBJ's step-dad on the team. Go Gloria!
There's only one thing I'm thinking about over the next two weeks
Chris Forsberg has all kinds of stuff he's interested in observing over the next two weeks for the Celtics: How they'll look against the Suns after KG's antics in January. Whether Mo Williams changes the Clippers' ability to stay with us. How Deron and the new-look Nets will match up. There's...
Just stop coping a feel.
Jared Dudley might not be very bright
Twitter / Jared Dudley: We took Channing to a spor ... via kwout Jared's just joking around... .... but KG's not. This is exactly the kind of seemingly innocuous comment that KG can twist into motivation. Why you would do that on a gameday is beyond me.
LOL. You don't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you get what you need.....
Just as we thought: Brewer headed to Dallas
Twitter / Marc Stein: Just filed to ESPN.com: Ma ... via kwout This was highlighted earlier... Corey Brewer appears to be going to Dallas. The C's simply could not compete with the money Dallas had to offer. Any one thinking the C's can claim Brewer with the trade exception from the M...
With the recent roster moves there are plenty of IF's to be answered. Some of the new players are upgrades and some are downgrades. The biggest question is at the center position. I have a feeling that Shaq will be unable to provide much but that is just my opinion.
The one move that I applaud is keeping Murphy away from Miami. I don't like the Celtics very much but I like the Heat even less.
