There are a couple of points I would like to hit on before I dive into this glorious trade you see above. Over the past few days many Celtics’ bloggers have written various articles saying that Jeff Green needs to be inserted into the starting lineup over Paul Pierce. That it would allow Green to run with Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley while allowing Pierce to a primary scorer off the pine and blah, blah, blah. Look, I try to think outside of the box as often as possible to come up with unorthodox solutions to common problems. Bringing Pierce off the bench is one thing. But in favor of Jeff Green? That’s as wrong as wrong can be. You want Green to play more minutes with Rondo and Bradley? Here’s a wild solution: MAKE GREEN THE SIXTH MAN! Or better yet, cut him out of the picture all together.
My dream job is to be the Boston Celtics General Manager. My dream is in fact Bryan Doherty’s worst nightmare. And it is because of the NBA Trade Machine offered by espn.com that I am able to...

The moment we got news about Rajon Rondo’s torn ACL, all the armchair doctors on the planet offered up time-tables for his return. I heard anywhere from 8 to 16 months.
Here’s what Danny Ainge told the Herald’s Mark Murphy:
Though the recovery from reconstructive knee surgery can vary, depending on the player, Ainge said he expects Rondo to be ready for the start of training...

Danny Ainge is saying he hasn't decided what he's going to do with the Celtics. It was looking unlikely that the Celtics would be able to contend this season without a major trade. Now with Rajon Rondo out for the year Ainge has to decide whether adding a band aid for the season and hoping to make the 2nd round of the playoffs is the best strategy or if the team should go...

The Celtics, despite losing Rondo for the season, won today's game. It took then two overtimes, but I'll take it. This was all defense for both teams, as the final score was just 100-98. Garnett led the Celtics with 24 points, followed by Pierce with 17 and Terry with 13. Lebron led the Heat with 34 points, followed by Allen with 21 and Wade with 17.

Rondo’s absence has left a big hole in the Celtics’ roster and the question on everyone’s mind is: What do they do now?
Free agents:
ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan brought up Keyon Dooling's name as a possible replacement in the short term, but said Danny Ainge has already nixed that idea. She also suggested bringing Delonte West back into the fold, as he is currently a free...

I would not be surprised to see the Celtics go on a decent run, as teams off circle the wagons after horrible news like this. We'll have to wait and see if Danny Ainge decides to start the rebuilding now or just play for the best record possible. As the coach, Rivers has to stay positive saying that the team's title hopes are still alive. I expect KG and Pierce to say the...

Well, that wasn't fun. It's becoming clear that the bench is finally coming around but now the starters are slumping. The second unit gave us that big lead in the second quarter and then it went away when the starters came back in. But there's progress. We at least got one great half of basketball. One thing that always strikes me is all the complaints...
