Doc Rivers was on WEEI earlier this morning...and the thing that seems to be resonating with people is what he said about Rajon Rondo.I think Rajon Rondo will be a lifetime Celtic. I really do. I think
this process he’s gone through is the process all players go through at
times. The maturity process is another thing that all players go
through. I don’t think he’s behind in that department at all. I just
think he’s young and he’s growing. So, I never had a black mark against
him. For maturity issues, that’s part of his process of growing up, and
he’s doing that. He’s been as good as anyone. In camp thus far he’s
doing everything we ask him to do — and he usually does. I would be
very surprised if he’s not a lifetime Celtic.And as for what we'll see this year:When you look at his shot this year, he’s made some dramatic changes to

Kevin Garnett Looks Damn Good
I hate to make assumptions after the first preseason game, but Kevin Garnett appears to be healthy and well, he looks like the old KG. The intensity and energy only KG can bring to a game was back. He finished with 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals in 13 minutes. And most importantly, I didn't see him limp or favor the leg in any way.Rasheed Wallace (6 points, 3 blocks and 1...

Rasheed Wallace - Does he fit in off the bench?
Marquis Daniels - Can he effectively man the point?

Ray admits to being hurt last year
First... we heard that Ray Allen was dealing with a hamstring issue in last year's playoffs. Then... he said "no.. I wasn't."Now, he's finally admitting to it.“My hamstring was bothering me, but it was something going on in my
lower back,” Allen said yesterday. “You get toward the end of the
season something is going to be wrong with you...
Celts drop opener, 96-90
The Celtics started off this year's pre-season just like they finished last year's post-season - with a loss. The Ming-less Rockets disposed of the Celtics, 96-90. Unfortunately, with Directv blacking out the exhibition games this year, I wasn't able to see any of the game. Instead, I periodically checked the live gamecast. Yeah - not ideal. I sure am glad that I fork...

Kevin Garnett says he’s back!
Despite troubling visual evidence suggesting otherwise, Garnett and the Celtics insist that the big fella’s knee is perfectly healthy: “I don’t have any knee problems. I don’t have any knee problems.
