The Celtics marched into Laker-land with dead feet and tired minds. You could see from the get go that the momentum they had built prior to the all-star break was drying up faster than Kevin Garnett's resolve. We could argue and beat a dead horse about the lack of point guard play, but no one hardly speaks about the elephant in the room.  The very real need for a rugged big-man without decimating the team. This is not to say that the team hasn't explored options to fill this need, but Celtic management has shown that they either are not willing to do really big deals only minor ones that do not really help the team.  The signing of Terrence Williams may have given them some hope. Williams, a former first round pick of the New Jersey Nets, has never been able to stick with one team in his brief career.  He is one of the few talented four year players who just didn't get it when given the opportunity.  Most players in this situation end up being NBA journeymen, or make...

Kevin Garnett Uses Yoga To Improve His Game

Kevin Garnett explains how yoga took his flexibility over the top and controlled his energy in this short interview sponsored by Zico Coconut Water: “I was pretty decent when it came to being flexible, but then yoga took me over the top. I would have all this energy, and I couldn’t control it. Being in games, and I would get dumb fouls because I was just out of control, so I...

How Kevin Garnett used Yoga to improve his game (VIDEO)

He drinks Zico water of course! Not sure about you all but it was surprising to me that Garnett does yoga. You would think that he’d be doing something much more intense and dangerous during his spare-time. Wonder what else KG is up to in his spare time.

Terrence Williams signs with Celtics

Terrence Williams spent 3 years in the NBA with 3 different teams and struggled to stay out of trouble.  After being cut by the Detroit Pistons during training camp, the once sought after Louisville forward had to go to China to play basketball.  Williams averaged 17.9 PPG in China and rekindled his career to the point where the Boston Celtics decided to give him a chance, signing...

Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski brings us up to date on the Celtics and Clippers trade talk: For now, the Los Angeles Clippers have terminated talks with the Boston Celtics on a Kevin Garnett forEric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan trade, league sources told Yahoo!

Video: KG has come a long way since getting blocked by Don Cheadle

Anyone remember Kevin Garnett's acting debut as Wilt Chamberlain back in 1996? All those sex scenes as Wilt must have been a bit awkward. Actually that didn't happen, but KG did play Wilt on the court. The Movie was "Rebound: The Legend of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault" and it starred Don Cheadle as the lead (actually it had a pretty star studded cast. The above...

Your Morning Dump… Where KG hasn’t been the same since the 3OT game

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. Celtics coach Doc Rivers said he could tell that the 36-year-old Garnett hasn’t been the same since a triple-overtime victory over Denver on Feb. 10. Garnett played 47 minutes in that game. The Celtics played...

Clippers pushing again for deal with Celtics

Have avoided reporting every hiccup because much is slim sourced. But hearing of a new push within the Clippers to do something w/Celts. — Steve Bulpett (@SteveBHoop) February 21, 2013 To clarify: Some people w/in Clips want to do the Celt deal. Not sure others in organization are onboard. Some internal issues here.— Steve Bulpett (@SteveBHoop) February 21, 2013 Ok, so I don...

ESPN's Marc Stein: "KG isn't waiving that no-trade clause. For anyone or any team."

"Leave me alone Blake!" Marc Stein of ESPN has a column up that touches on many of the trade rumors and rumblings around the league.  A few quotes from it really jump out at me regarding the "Kevin Garnett lives in Malibu and is friends with Chauncey Billups so maybe he could be traded to the Clippers for DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe" story that won'...

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett Will Not Look Back Fondly on Final Game as Celtics If Dealt at Trade Deadline

This was a tough way to go out. If the Celtics somehow trade away Paul Pierce or Kevin Garnett prior to Thursday’s trade deadline, their final game in green will not be a fond memory. The Celtics’ underwhelming effort in Los Angeles on Wednesday was indicative of all their troubles without a lead guard like Rajon Rondo or a willing garbage man like Jared Sullinger. The 113-99...

Chris Paul Tried to Get Kevin Garnett to Waive His No-Trade Clause, KG Declined

Apparently, Chris Paul is in charge of the Clippers front office (he would probably be better than some of the people they have had in the past). According the Bleacher Report, CP3 tried to get KG to waive his no-trade clause so he could be dealt to LA, but KG wasn’t having it. Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald found that Chris Paul spoke to KG prior to the deadline and made...

Celtics trade Barbosa to Wizards for Jordan Crawford

As the NBA trade deadline nears, the Washington Wizards traded guard Jordan Crawford to the Boston Celtics for Leandro Barbosa, league sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

Boston Celtics Look To Bounce Back After All-Star Break

The Celtics unfortunately have dropped both games on their West Coast post All-Star Break road trip so far. While performing brilliantly at home in the TD Garden they have struggled to get W’s on the road. Hopefully, as the team gears up for a likely playoff spot this discouraging trend will not continue. The tough west coast road trip goes through Phoenix Friday night in a matchup...
