BOSTON -- At first, Avery Bradley's inclusion in the Celtics' starting lineup was a matter of matchups. As Celtics coach Doc Rivers noted before starting Bradley against the Wizards on Sunday, the C's needed someone who could cover free-shooting Jordan Crawford, and Bradley fit the bill. Then Bradley went and scored 23 points and everything changed. A month ago, if Ray Allen and Mickael Pietrus had both been unavailable due to injuries, Marquis Daniels or a healthy Keyon Dooling might have cracked the starting five. Both are veterans, with Daniels possessing more size than Bradley and Dooling having the ability...

Sherrod Blakely has an update on Ray Allen's ankle:
"It feels good; it feels fine," Allen said. "I'll know a little better later on."

He did that prior to the C's win...

The Celtics got another all important win coming down the homestretch of the regular season. The Jazz gave the Celtics all they could handle in the 1st and 3rd quarters, but strong 2nd and 4th quarters allowed the C’s to win 94-82 over Utah.

Can the Celtics Hang on to First Place?
Boston’s win in Charlotte last night moved them into a first place tie with Philly in the Atlantic Division, which could well mean the difference between opening up the playoffs at home vs Indiana or Atlanta, or on the road in Miami or Chicago. That’s a huge difference. But it’s going to be very difficult for the Celtics to hang on to the 4th seed in the East. Last...

A.B. I thought this was illegal to do so I spoke to a basketball expert the kid in the next cube over who played college ball and he looked at me like I was crazy.
Apparently you can dribble off any body part as long as you don’t travel. I was too busy playing hockey growing up to learn that one I guess.
But what was the point of Rondo head-butting the ball before going up the...
