Nothing is too low for Lebron to do
LeBron's too good to sign a family birthday card?
There's a new book coming out that look at LeBron's lineage... how his family came to settle in Ohio... and so on. It's basically a LeBron history book. But we don't give a damn about how is great-grandfather came to Ohio. What we care about is the juicy stuff. They juicy tidbit that makes...
Didn't Ainge just say Shaq could not even play 12 minutes at a time? Why don't they all shut up until Shaq actually plays. Stop confusing everyone
Doc is "more confident now" Shaq will play vs Miami
If you believe what the Celtics have to say about Shaq's injury and progress, then you'll be interested in this update from Chris Forsberg: Doc on Shaq: "No decision made or anything. I’m more confident now that he’ll play in this series. I don’t know when." Doc said confidence comes from traine...
Where is Howard's rings? Howard is good player but not even close to Russell
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...
Waiting this long to review this is ridiculous. Something is definately fishy. Why? I reviewed and call a flagarant on the league!
Rajon Rondo's Foul on Landry Fields from Game 3 Upgraded to Flagrant 1
Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe has reported that Rajon Rondo's fourth quarter foul in transition on Landry Fields has been up graded to a Flagrant 1. Washburn's tweet details how the flagrant points accumulate in the playoffs: Wondering what play it was exactly? Check out the video below...
The coward that is a column writer Woj. Is wrong and clueless. So KG never got into it with Howard or Duncan? Both these cowards need glasses
Kevin Garnett Is Cowardly, Afraid to 'Mix It Up' With Anyone His Size, According to Anonymous NBA Player
Oh, the power of anonymity. Hidden behind a cloak of namelessness, an NBA player known only as "Player X" wrote in his most recent column for ESPN The Magazine that Celtics forward Kevin Garnett is a "punk," a "coward" and is "like a playground bully who barks but doesn't bite." Here's the fu...
You know what? Would love to see D'antoni coach Minnesota. What a disaster that would be lol
D'Antoni not impressed with Rajon Rondo
Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni isn't impressed by Rajon Rondo. Here are his comments, courtesy Ken Berger of CBS. On downplaying Rondo's influence on Game 3, D'Antoni said, "He's a very good basketball player. Really good. " But, there was a but ... D'Antoni on Rondo: "I'd like to see him play on Mi...
I find this anonymous guy hilarious. He is calling someone a coward and a punk. The guy is not even man enough to say it to KG. Why?
Anonymous player calls KG a punk, coward
The KG hate continues. Check out this nugget from ESPN's Player X blog (courtesy ESPN Boston): Garnett is a punk and a coward. I know, I know. Easy for me to say behind this column. Don't worry, I'll tell him to his face, too. And I'm not the only one who thinks that: If you're not on his team, ...
Refs continue to leave themselves open for criticism and make Donaghy look like not the only one who is corrupting the game. Either that or refs are just blind.
Recap: Three man bench leads Cs over Hornets
The Celtics rallied from a wretched 1st quarter and beat the Hornets 89-85. Doc Rivers used only three players off his bench... and they all responded. Glen Davis (20 points, 8-11 FG, 8 rebounds) was a monster. Delonte West had 9 points and 5 assists. Jeff Green chipped in with 10 points. Ray ...
If KG did this there would be 2 weeks of KG bashing and about 10 articles here about it. LOL
Andrew Bynum tries to injure Michael Beasley
I'm on the record as being wistful for the days where hard fouls were part of the game. But if you're going to foul someone hard, you gotta do it the right way. What Andrew Bynum did last night was not doing it the right way. Bynum made no attempt at the ball. Instead, he flies full speed in...
Fake tough guys are a dime dozen. Want to continue to make yourself look even more pathetic? Go ahead
Recap: Another lazy effort, another loss in a back-to-back
The Celtics just aren't playing pretty basketball right now. Blame fatigue. Blame injuries. Blame boredom. Blame whatever you want... it doesn't matter. It's just not an entertaining brand of basketball. Tonight their sloppy, lazy play cost them a very winnable game against the Nets. Chalk...
Lakers fans=pathetic

If this is all because of Perk Rondo needs to grow up and realize it is a business one which he gets paid millions by the Celtics. He needs to start earning it (at least earn it post Perk trade)
Recap: Buck Hunting
(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer) What do you get when you combine an A+ defensive effort with one of the worst offensive teams in the league? An 87-56 Celtics blowout over the Bucks. The Cs set franchise records for fewest points allowed in a half (22), thru 3 quarters (38) and for a game (56). The B...
I get annoyed about the media playing up Kobe shooting after a game too. Like he is the 1st player ever to think of doing it as you proved there are alot of players who probably do it.
Your Morning Dump... Doc wants to get physical
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. “The game was called very physical — (the referees) allowed them to be physical, and I didn’t think we handled that very well....
Games like this prove how silly it is to predict outcomes. Do a normal preview please.
How we see it goin' down: Cs - Clippers
Tip: 7:30pm Court: TD Garden Watch it: CSN Hear it: WEEI The Matchup Record: 46-15 (1st Atlantic, 1st East) Record: 24-40 (4th Pacific, 13th West) At home 27-5 On road: 6-25 Streak: Won 5 Streak: Won 3 Leaders Buckets: Pierce (19.1 ppg) Buckets: Eric ...
The reason for this? Injuries
Are the Big 3 playing too many minutes?
With the playoffs in the not-so-distant future, I thought it would be a good idea to examine the minutes played by the Celtics key players: 2009-10 2010-11 Ray Allen 35.2 36.2 Rajon Rondo 36.6 37.9 Paul Pie...
Um Big Al is with Utah now...LOL.
Enemy Chatter: Jared Dudley is a hero
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 Phoenix. The Boston Celtics are widely known around the NBA as the baddest team in the land, and the Phoenix Suns stared them right ...
If they even get there, lol
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...
Especially right after Nash did the same thing in a recent game. LOL
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.
Exactly the more it is talked about off the court only proves KG DID get in these players' heads.
Enemy Chatter: Big Al is a cool cat
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 Utah. "There's a lot of things I can tolerate because I've been in this league long enough to know that he's going to talk," Jeffe...
A cool cat who KG made travel at one point...

I just don't think Murphy is enough for Miami. But he would be perfect off the bench for the C's.
Report: Murphy torn between Boston, Miami
Via Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski: Troy Murphy has phone calls set with Pat Riley and Danny Ainge on Monday night, and source says "still torn" between Miami and Boston. There's no guarantee Murphy will make a decision on Tuesday, but it's likely within next 48 hours. WTF? I thought Danny had...
Apparently when you know your beat the only thing left is to publicly trash talk. That's fine. C's will win and Orlando can be all talk, as usual.
Magic reporter takes shots at Celtics
Orlando Sentinel reporter Brian Schmitz takes several shots at the Celtics in his latest column: Here's what the Celtics think of the Magic: They are willing to let creaky Shaquille O'Neal and fragile Jermaine O'Neal battle Howard. Plus, they have Krstic Nenad or Nenad Krstic, who was the big ma...
Apparently Vegas odd is like the all star game, a popularity contest. Not based on any sort of logic or substance at all.
Heat favored to win title... say what?
Our buddy Jimmy S. at Bodog.com sent over the updated odds to win the NBA title: Miami Heat 11/5 Boston Celtics 7/2 LA Lakers 4/1 SA Spurs 9/2 Chicago Bulls 14/1 Does Vegas have inside information about the Heat acquiring a dominant center and point guard? Because unless that happens... they are...
Suggestion: Don't write about it so often no matter who else is doing it.
Rondo climbs Simmons' Trade Value list
Rajon Rondo ranks 13th in Bill Simmons's annual list of players with the most trade value. He's right behind Russell Westbrook: Westbrook gets the edge only because he's still playing on his rookie contract ($9 million through next year). Meanwhile, Rondo may have replaced Gary Payton as the all...
You can edit now too. That's cool.
Site announcement: You'll be required to sign-in to comment
I'l admit... sometimes I enjoy messing with all the trolls that swing by. But, quite frankly, they're annoying the hell out of me. So we're making a switch to cut down on the spammers. We're going to require readers to sign in to comment. It might add an annoying step at first for a bunch of ...
