WALTHAM, Mass. -- One of the first things Doc Rivers
remembers about Ben Wilson's death is the anger.
Wilson was only 17 years old and the first high school
player in Chicago history to be ranked No. 1 in the nation when he was gunned
down outside a convenience store in 1984. As a combo guard nicknamed
"Magic Johnson with a jump shot," Wilson was supposed to have...

Doc Rivers is done fighting the battle of words with Ray Allen. Chris Forsberg reports that the Celtics coach said, "'We're going to just let Ray keep talking... It's easier'" when interviewed earlier today. Doc is focused on creating a game plan to take down Miami, and I'm sure he just wants to get the distractions out of the way. Ray recently made...

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Asked about the potential Phoenix deal, Rivers said on Wednesday, “I didn’t even know it, so I’m surprised right now. I never knew that. I don’t think that’s true.”

Heat told reporters that the Celtics put him in a position where "we had
to move" and that they used him mainly as a "decoy" toward the

76ers will go as far in East as Bynum takes them
Working together for NBC at the Olympics, 76ers coach Doug Collins and Boston coach Doc Rivers caught up over dinner, talking hoops and sizing up the best big men in the NBA.
Little did Rivers know, Collins was keeping a secret - a 7-foot sized one.

The next Summer Olympics are still a little less than four years away, but the decision on who will be coaching the next men’s basketball team will have to be made well before that.

I’ve been holding off on a “Jeff Green is soooooooo much better than ever” article, largely because I didn’t want to overreact to a small preseason sample size when his four years in the NBA paint a different story.But it certainly does seem like Green feels more comfortable than ever, and his production was probably the single most positive takeaway from preseason.
