The first returns are in for the All Star voting and the Celtics are well represented. LeBron is the leading vote getter for the East as might be expected, with Carmelo Anthony not far behind. Kevin Garnett is in 3rd among front court players and would start if the voting stays in this order. In the backcourt, Rondo is second to Dwyane Wade and would also start if the voting ends this way. Remember this year, there is no center position on the ballot, just 3 generic frontcourt players.
Celtics fans need to continue to vote daily. You can find the ballot here.

When Kevin Garnett walked over to Kevin McHale, embraced him, and let the man who drafted him cry on his shoulder, it showed a couple of things.
First, it was a glimpse into the type of person Kevin Garnett really is. Sure, we see the fun little curse-filled post-game rants here and there, but no one outside of a Garnett locker room truly knows him, and we probably never will....

Last season a trade that would have brought O.J. Mayo to Boston for Judas Shuttlesworth was basically squashed because Mayo claimed that he “doesn’t care about Boston’s banners.” After last night’s double overtime loss Mayo backpedaled faster than Rondo getting back on D, claiming that the accusation wasn’t true and he had no say in the matter due to lack of veto power...
