The Celtics took a calculated a risk last season when they dealt center Kendrick Perkins to Oklahoma City as part of a package that brought Jeff Green to Boston. The deal, however, did not go as planned, as Boston lacked an inside presence down the stretch and in the playoffs while Green will miss the entire 2011-12 season with a heart condition. However, when asked about that trade, Celtics owners Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca say they would still make the deal all things the same.

Green’s Effect on the Ring
A stress test that was performed on Jeff Green of the Boston Celtics delivered to him the worst, best news of his life.

"These guys are bad fans"
I want to start off by saying that upon second review, my Potomac River video could have been a lot better and maybe I did deserve to capsize (great comment). My mom gave me crap for it last night and I completely agree with her. I promise to do better. If anyone is in the DC area and wants to come out on the river and discuss the...
