Asked if he had talked with Mutombo, Rivers replied, “Always. He’s a good friend. He’s going to come back. I talked to him last week - he will come back. “We’re over the [salary] cap so it’s tough for us to do a lot of stuff, but we’re looking at everybody.” I’m still trying to digest the [...]

Player of the Game - Kendrick Perkins

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  December 20, 2008
As always there could be a case made for Ray Allen (27 points) or Rajon Rondo (15 assists) or Paul Pierce or KG who quietly filled up the stat sheets. But there is no doubt in my mind that Kendrick Perkins is the player of the game. He was dominant on both ends of the court with a career ...

Pierce should be nominated for best actor

Via VeriHoops  |  December 17, 2008
In yet another delightful display of showmanship, Paul Pierce gave the Green World a scare by collapsing to the floor while clutching his knee. Replays showed a collision with the giant Mehmet Okur. But later on in the press conference, Pierce was seen walking without an icepack, knee brace, or ...

Sam Cassell & Lenny Wilkins on Mid-Range Game & Creating Space

Via Game Time Workouts  |  December 20, 2008
You know Sam Cassell is in the game when players on the opposing team start to yell, "Shooter," and the announcers start to say "when he gets the ball, you know he's going to shoot." The odd thing is, that he still can't be stopped and the league has had 10+ years to learn his game. Everywhere ...

I don’t have any official stats, but after watching KG and Rondo connect on that alley oop last night… I thought to myself “Damn… Rondo’s thrown a lot of oops to KG this year” I know they torched the Pacers  a couple of times.  Then they dusted off that same play against Portland (pictured).  Last night’s [...]

Joe Johnson missed a potentially game tying free throw with 2 seconds left, paving the way for the Celtics 16th straight win. KG was the man for the C’s, dropping 10 points in the fourth quarter including a half-hook shot that put Boston ahead with :30 left. “Beastondo” teamed up for a helluva play with 9 [...]

NBA: Celtics Extend Winning Streak to 16

Via Sheridan  |  December 18, 2008
The Hawks have shown they can play with the NBA champion Boston Celtics and Wednesday night the Celtics needed Kevin Garnett to take over and lead the Celtics to a 88-85 win in Atlanta. KG was 5-for-5 and scored 10 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter. The Celtics rode Garnett's back to victory.

Josh Smith’s monster dunk over Kendrick Perkins

Via Sports Crackle Pop  |  December 18, 2008
Altlanta and the Boston Celtics played another buzzer beater game last night; with the Hawks a Mike Bibby three pointer away from sending the game to overtime. The C?s might have won their 16th straight, but the play of the night belonged to Josh Smith. He posterized Kendrick Perkins with what ...

Comments from the Other Side - Hawks

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  December 18, 2008
I was surprised that the Hawks fans weren't very talkative. On several boards, there wasn't even a game thread. For all Bibby's talk of the Celtics' bandwagon fans, Atlanta definitely doesn't have that problem. The Celtics' game was only the 4th sellout this season and even then there were ...

Bulls at Celtics in Pictures 12/19

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  December 20, 2008
I love this picture. I wonder if that was the rebound Rondo got over Gooden. It is just a great picture with 4 of the 5 starters taking off for a break up the court. Rondo had another great game. He didn't score alot, but he set the pace and made some great assists. He finished with 4 ...

Boston is due for a loss! Why not now? Why not us? Ok there are tons reasons why it wont be us, but you never know. Boston may totally take us for granted. They may all get wasted Thursday night whatever. Its not that we are outmatched or anything against them. Deng and Pierce have been a ...
