After two week’s, All-Star Weekend, the trade deadline passing and five games out west, The Boston Celtics return to the Garden tonight. The C’s last game on the parquet stage was February 7th. An uninspired loss on national television to the Orlando Magic left Stan Van Gundy with the confidence to compare Dwight Howard with [...]

After yesterday’s meeting of the minds with Red’s Army, I found myself re-reading everyone’s thoughts on why the Celtics are struggling in 2010. I re-enforced my belief to the guys that the root of the team’s struggles are chemistry issues. I was encouraged that the rest of the “round table” found the issues to be [...]

Ray Allen, the victim of rampant trade rumors recently, was quoted by Julian Benbow, of the Boston Globe(this week’s guest on the Celtics Late Night Show), as offering advise to Rajon Rondo and his aspirations for the 2010 Celtics squad.
From The Boston Globe:
“I told him, ‘You’ve got 10, 12-plus years left in the NBA, you’re [...]

I was happy to see Kevin Garnett speak to the media about Rondo’s comments. KG responded to Rondo’s remarks in a very “PC” way but certainly got his point across saying, “…it’s said in the closed confinements of the locker room and to each other as men, and I want everybody here to respect that.’’
It’s [...]

Rajon Rondo has become the Celtics best player, period.  He is the general on the floor averaging almost a double double ( 14.1 PTS, 9.7 ASTS) and is consistently relied upon to carry the offense through the dry spells of Pierce and Allen.  Four years ago when the C’s only had twenty four hash marks [...]

I’m going to make a prediction for tomorrow’s Lakers/Celtics game.  My prediction? Pain.  Specifically the hernia I experience after a crushing 96-90 loss.

Normally, I wouldn’t care.  I mean, why should I?  I’m a Laker fan living in Los Angeles. My existence largely consists of double-fisting supermodels and championships while searching for acting roles that do [...]

I guess on a team full of mainstream names, it’s sort of easy to take talent for granted. Stats are often over-looked when they are on a team with such an unselfish (sometimes too unselfish) mentality. If was not until today, while reading an article by Gary Washburn in the Globe, that I realized what [...]

For many years, the NBA has had a policy of allowing fans to vote for all-star starters, while allowing coaches to select the reserves.  One player who has a problem with this is Celtics guard Ray Allen.
 
“I like the fact that the fans get the opportunity to vote and pick who they’d like to see in [...]
