It seemed like there were more Celtics fans than Hawks fans in Atlanta last night. Home court doesn't mean much for this team, I don't think. They tend to go off just to stick it to other teams' fans, especially in New York (who they likely won't see) and Miami.
Your Morning Dump... Where Doc's concern about Ray is growing
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. Dickerson: Where's your concern level now with Ray Allen? Doc: Well, It's growing because the playoffs are coming closer a...

Taking Stock: Celtics - Bobcats
After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters Rajon Rondo: This has become his typical game now. Single-digit points and big assists. 13 assists is awesome, and the 1-7 shooting is misleading because he was forced to t...
Pierce could go for 50 and not win MVP.
Your Morning Dump... Where Rondo's growing up
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. “Each and every year he’s maturing as a player,” Pierce said. “That happens with a lot of young players. We go through a p...
No question, NBA officials are the worst and most corrupt in American pro sports. It's absolutely insane, however, to argue that the Celtics EVER get superstar calls. A lack of superstar calls has marked Paul Pierces career, before and after his championship.
Enemy Chatter: Paul Pierce gets it done on sheer will
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 Indiana. Instead, what we witnessed was vintage Paul Pierce and a reminder that you can't ever count out the heart of a champion...
I was VERY against the proposed Rondo deal, but I'm starting to think this is worse. Now they have Bynum and anyone else but Kobe as trade chips for Howard. At least we know Lebron will never win a title now.
Breaking: Chris Paul to Lakers?
Twitter / @WojYahooNBA: The Hornets have started t ... via kwout According to Woj, he's going for Bynum and Odom. I guess that means no pursuit of Chris Paul. And it leaves the Lakers pretty soft in the middle. There's got to be more to this deal, right? And I guess that means Rondo is ...
I feel like everyone is taking Danny's comment about Jeff Green starting out of context. When he said that, he had basically been backed into a corner defending Green and himself against the argument that Green can't play his game unless he's in a starting role. In context, it really didn't seem like he had seriously considered starting Green over Pierce at any point. And with Pierce still (relatively) healthy and in-shape, I don't see why on earth Doc would start Jeff Green over our team's perennial leading scorer, not to mention captain.
Will Paul Pierce come off the bench next year?
Danny Ainge had some interesting stunning comments on WEEI: On the starting lineup changing: "Maybe there’s a change of roles. Maybe Paul comes off the bench, cuts down on his minutes. Maybe we find a way to get Jeff more minutes. His role will expand if he’s back here next year. There’s no ques...
