Shaq's Always Quote-worthy... "When I came into the league, I wanted to compete with Bill Russell for titles," O'Neal said Tuesday, with Russell's 11 championship banners hanging above him at a news conference to mark his signing with the Boston Celtics. "That's not going to happen, but I'd like to almost get half of what he got." "Do I have the same hunger? Yes. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here," O'Neal said. "I don't like wasting my time. I don't like wasting anybody's time. At the end of the day, when I close the book, it's all ...
Here we go! The regular season kickoff is a little less than three months away and the hype has begun. NSS friend and esteemed member of the ESPN family, Chris Forsberg, published a terrific article today. In the story, Forsberg noted some of the great player quotes coming out of Boston regarding the South Beach circus. He also speculated what we all believe to be the case. The Celtics will square off against the league's newest big three. As Chris put it, "old big three" vs "new big three." Brace yourselves. It's coming. Miami will be getting more air play than that shitty ...
Digesting Thursday's loss took me a full day. I avoided basketball at all costs yesterday. I just needed a break as the absolutely crazy 2010 season ended. I think many Celtics fans felt the same as I did. Today, I am back into NBA mode and I am already in Celtics-withdrawal. Every off season, I feel a gaping hole in my heart-- like a close relative has moved away. Now it's time to get back into full off-season swing at NSS. Before we do, I would like to reach out to our friends, contributors and loyal readers with a message of thanks ...
No, not good all Doc but his offspring Austin. Little Rivers may have been riding high after getting ranked as the number one high school prospect in the nation by Rivals.com heading into the opening day of the Boost Mobile Elite 24 camp. It seems like there is a new camp we hear about every [...]

As reported by ESPN and various other sources, it appears that Celtics coach Doc Rivers has blown the conch shell from Lord of the Flies loud enough to silence the Lebron free agency chatter for a microsecond while he announces his return. “I want another crack at it with this group”, Rivers texted, in what [...]

The season is now over. Everyone’s attention has shifted towards the NBA Draft. I am not a big fan of the draft– I never have been. I may click back and forth between CNN and only flip to the draft for a minute or two so I can get a glimpse of Larry-Legend and have [...]

Love him, hate him, disagree with his rotations or use of timeouts. Regardless, I don’t think there is a Celtics fan out there that doesn’t want to see Doc back on the bench in Boston next season. Doc was on WEEI and Chris Forsberg reported this morning that Doc Rivers is leaning towards retirement. From [...]

An interview with Terry Francona earlier today sparked a debate with myself that I would’ve dismissed a few months ago. Tito is easily my favorite Red Sox skipper of all time, not only because he helped end a certain curse you might have heard of but because of the attitude the guy brings with him [...]

The Boston Celtics need their front-court bench players to step up. Realistically there is no way the Cavalier big’s should be able to match-up with the Celtics__ they didn’t. Glen Davis muddled his way into foul trouble and it looked like the pressure of finding out that he is on a real team has derailed [...]

Thank-you Quintin Richardson! The Cavaliers, Lakers and Mavs have all lost a game in their first round series. The Boston Celtics have not. Paul Pierce pulled out his clutch game last night and the C’s took a commanding 3-0 lead on the Miami Heat. Totally worth a second look. (Courtesy of Celtics.Com) Compliments of CSNNE: [...]
