First is Ray Allen vs Courtney Lee. For me on this subject, I will have to pick Courtney Lee over Ray Allen. Not because Ray was bad or anything(in fact I am a fan of Ray whether he's a Heat or Celtic for that matter), its just that Courtney has youth even at that time where Ray was just hitting game winners and 3's. Although Lee is a lot better on defense, can create his own shot at times and is athletic, Ray was a pure shooter and one of the best of all time. Lee has that fire in him to win his first ever championship, to do that he knows he has to improve and that's where KG ,Rondo and Paul come in to help him. He was close to winning his first championship with the Orlando Magic until that team was beaten by the Lakers in the 2009 playoffs 4 games to 1, so that will put a fire on him.
Second is Tony Allen vs Avery Bradley. For me on this subject, I will pick Avery Bradley over Tony Allen. I really do miss Tony Allen and his lockdown defens...

How good will Jeff Green be?
Mr. Jeff Green just signed a pretty nice contract, reportedly four years for around $36 million. That's a lot of money, especially for someone who will be the seventh man (sixth man, that's Jason Terry's job).
Still, you'd expect that Green is going to get some significant playing time relieving both Paul Piece and Brandon Bass next season and beyond. Why else...
Celtics rookie Fab Melo breaks folding chair...by sitting on it (Video)
Boston Celtics rookie center Fab Melo was sitting down on a folding chair with some other NBA rookies during a recent photo shoot when it suddenly collapsed without warning.
It appeared that the legs just gave way and couldn't support Melo's 7-foot, 255 pound frame, and cameras were perfectly positioned to capture the moment as it happened.
Melo was OK, aside from...
The Celtics quiet but effective offseason
via Celticslife
The offseason was reminiscent of a storm brewing off a shoreline, that shoreline being the Boston harbor. Danny Ainge was able to collect pieces that will have the Boston Celtics in a better position than last year. This is remarkable considering last year’s team lost to the Miami Heat in seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Without diving into...

The Nike Fun Police
I was looking around on YouTube and came across this series of commercials with Kevin Garnett that are fun. I don't really remember them being on TV but then again, I may have been getting a snack at the time. His Anta shoes may be cool, but they don't have fun commercials like this. Anyway, I thought I'd share a few of them to pass the time as I anxiously await...
Celtics Sign Green To $36 M Extension

The Celtics first acquired Green from the Oklahoma City Thunder in return for Kendrick...
GreenLight Madness: #10 Seed vs #23 Seed
The Celtics had a memorable 7 game series with the Miami Heat, a series they unfortunately lost. Throughout the series there were several moments that stand out, although they would shine much brighter in Celtic lore had they pulled off the series upset. Rajon Rondo had quite a few of these plays, even excluding his masterpiece 44-point performance in Game 2, a loss. During...
