Also love how twitter is lighting up with everyone's favorite Sloan moments ^_^
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....
A man that everyone has to have the utmost respect for. It's a damn shame if he is finally calling it quits

Jeff Van Gundy made a number of calls also last night towards changing the schedule like cutting down the number of preseason games to spread the schedule out a bit. Something def needs to be done. Every Celtic fan in Phoenix (and there was ALOT of them) got treated to one of the ugliest games ever in a team that they rarely get to see in person. As you just said and JVG said.. this is just one you file in the forget-about-it file, no reason to analyze or study this one
Your Morning Dump... Where KG's gentle tap floored Channing Frye
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. Because I'm an old bastard, I fell asleep during the Celtics game and missed the 4th quarter shenanigans between Kevin...
It's not too hard to say that KG meant to do it but I don't have any real issue with the play. Call a foul and be done with it. My issue is with the double technical. I think there should be a ref guideline that they can't give out two technicals for essentially the same incident. Call the one if needed, give the players (and coaches) a little leadway afterwards to react & let the game continue. If an incident arises later on in the game where you have to give another one and eject the player, fine. Nobody would be against that. The player got his 1st warning and knew he had to watch himself.
When they throw out the double tech so quickly, the game becomes about the refs and not the game of basketball. People tune in and go to these games to see a good game of ball, not to see the refs give another team free points just because they feel like it. Last night's game was actually turning into a real NBA game when the C's were able to FINALLY cut it down to single digits but then Steve Javie was all like "Nope, not happening"

Which is why I said the better team LAST NIGHT won. The C's are obviously still the better team when fully healthy but injuries or not, beating the top in your conference is still a good accomplishment for any team.
I'm with the C's through and through but I have enough respect for the Bulls and Thibs (minus Noah) to know that this is still a big win for them. Don't think they don't know they were playing a lesser team than they will (hopefully) see come April when we play them again but they're not going to come out and say that. Beating the Celtics is still beating the Celtics, no matter how it's looked at.
Enemy Chatter: The Bulls think that win means something
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 Chicago. A victory over the Boston Celtics still carries more weight than most. Don't believe me? Here’s what the Bulls players had ...
I have to agree, there shouldn't be any excuses from us. Simply put, the better team last night won the game.

Why isn't Doc playing Semih Erden? He's almost guaranteed to bring more positive play to the position than anything Jermaine O'Neal has done for us
Your Morning Dump... Where I overreact to last night's loss
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 Celtics dominated the first few minutes of the second half, built an 11-point lead, and waited for the LeBron James-less ...
Can't Wait! The workday will be a long one as I count down the hours till tipoff :(
Your Morning Dump... Where the wait is nearly over
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. In fact, the Celtics almost seem to enjoy the fact that Miami has taken the giant bull's-eye that otherwise would have...
How about The Illusionist?
Rondo's pass defies physics
I had to rewind this play three times last night... and I still have no earthly idea how the hell Rondo made this pass. It almost looks like glitch in a video where the pass shoots off a player at the completely wrong angle but is completed anyway. Honestly... Rondo has that ball on a...
Grats KWAPT! As much as you already contribute, you def deserve to write for the site
KG Postgame: Shaq opens things up
First off, I'd like to say thank you to John and Chuck for inviting me to contribute here at RedsArmy. It has been my favorite Celtics site for a long time. It'll be my pleasure to bring whatever I can to the fans and readers of the Boston Celtics and RedsArmy.com. Here is a brief postgame inter...
Don't forget the KP vs Shaq standoff danceoff!

Loving these videos, hope Nate keeps posting them all throughout the season
Has Donkey found a new Shrek?
Man... Nate Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal have really been buddy buddy a lot lately, huh? First it was stuffing a cookie into a sleeping Shaq's mouth... then it was feeding him salt water instead of regular water... and today in practice, Chris Forsberg caught this video of Nate trying to do...
Hardly.
"The newest superstar member of the Celtics has given up his mom’s hamburgers, fried chicken, mac and cheese and cornbread muffins and is ripped and ready to go for his 18th season in the NBA."
Shaq: "I would have played for free"
“I had other options where the money would have been greater. But this franchise, this team, has a tradition of winning,” said O’Neal. “I’ve been one of the luckiest guys in the history of the game. I’ve had four max deals and one lifetime of play. So money wasn’t an issue. Money will never b...
Hoping to go to my 1st C's game in November when they visit the Griz, going to try to score some tickets when they go on sale on the 30th :)
Tony Allen is a fine actor
That's Tony Allen and Rudy Gay in a Grizz promo about their upgraded defense. Notice how Tony Allen coolly delivers the line "Hey, ain't that Jason Williams over there?" That's Pacino-esque. I mean... killer delivery. I'm shocked... SHOCKED... he didn't appear in more promos for the C...
So this is why you were asking how many Android followers you had on Twitter the other day! Very cool app guys, I rated and left a comment on your app page :D

I'll admit to feeling defeated after Game 6, thinking that this is over for us after that lackluster effort, going as so far as to tell a guy at work that I have a bet with on the series that he likely wins and I'd be honestly surprised if the C's won Game 7.. but damnit, if this post doesn't get me fired up and a bit more confidence in this team. Bring it on!!
After all that, this is the only game that matters
Some time after 9pm, with millions of people camped in front of televisions all over the world... with millions of people wearing either Green and White or Purple and Gold... a guy in that gray, NBA official's uniform will toss the ball in the air... ... and the last game of this season will beg...
The Red comment gave me chills
One more win
The Celtics are one win away from Banner 18. One. Win. Away. Tonight's 92-86 victory was a great TEAM effort. Kevin Garnett was an absolute monster: 18 points, 10 rebounds, 5 steals and 2 blocks. His defensive effort was incredible. I thought I was watching highlights from 2008. Paul Pierce h...
