Gabe Pruitt really wants to come back

PLAYERS: Gabe Pruitt,  Rajon Rondo,  Tyronn Lue
TEAMS: Boston Celtics,  Orlando Magic

Gabe Pruitt could REEEEALLLLLY help the Celtics out by emerging as a capable back up to Rajon Rondo.  And the Orlando Summer League is pretty much his last chance to be that guy.  And he seems to be taking advantage of it.“Russell Westbrook is the best point guard here, but after that you could make the argument that Gabe is next on the list,” said Celtics assistant Mike Longabardi.The problem is... we've seen this out of Gabe before.  I'm starting to wonder if he's the NBA's version of the AAAA player in baseball.  You know... the guy who is way too good for the AAA, but not good enough for the Majors?  He's usually pretty good in the summer league games.  And he's often good in the pre-season.  But then something happens in the regular season.  Making things worse is his DUI last season.“It happened at a time when I was getting quality minutes, and then we got Stephon and I took a back seat,” he said. “It all kind of limited me. So now I’m...

Chemistry Gives the Celtics an Edge

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  July 09, 2009
Chemistry is one of the most important but underrated pieces to building a championship team. As I watched the Rasheed Wallace press conference, I was thinking about chemistry and its importance in building a contender. The Pistons of the 90's were a team with great chemistry because of playing together for several years. Because of that chemistry, they were able to win a championship...

Rasheed Wallace Might Be a Starter?

Via Red's Army  |  July 09, 2009
We all assumed Rasheed Wallace would be coming off the bench, but Mark Murphy put the question to Doc Rivers:Rivers now gets to contemplate the possibilities. Does he start Wallace or bring him off the bench behind Kendrick Perkins?

Bring back Marbury

Via 17 Banners  |  July 09, 2009
This is the beginning of my "Bring Back Marbury" campaign. While some may believe that the Celtics should just move on and go a different direction, I believe that Marbury is backup PG that the Celts should lobby for. I understand that they already made an offer (and have presumably withdrawn it) to Marbury, and Marbury declined it. But he did what any other free agent would've done...

Dennis Johnson: Why Isn't This Defensive Wizard in the NBA Hall of Fame?

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 09, 2009
There are a number of players who have reached the pinnacle of NBA success but are surprisingly not in the Hall of Fame. One of the most glaring omissions, in my opinion, is former Boston Celtics guard, Dennis Johnson. It has been a little over two years since his death while coaching the Austin Toros. He retired after the 1989-1990 season, his 14th season in the NBA. Despite...
