LeBron James says Celtics fans shout down anyone not dressed in green. Chris Bosh says emotions will be high. Ray Allen has returned to his former, diplomatic self, saying he’s happy to be in Boston but has moved on from being a Celtic.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers? Well, despite all the riff-raff that happened when Allen first left and fired parting shots on his way out of Boston, Rivers says he just wants the best for his former player, too.
“I hope he gets a good round of applause,” Rivers said of Allen returning to Boston on Sunday for the first time since he left as a free agent. “He did a lot for this franchise. I know he’s a great guy.”
Allen’s teammates aren’t quite expecting Celtics fans to roll out the welcome mat, though.
“I don’t expect it to be good,” James said, according to The Miami Herald. “If you don’t wear green in that building, they don’t like you.”
Bosh, who also got an earful when he returned to Toronto after joining the Heat, said Allen can expect the feelings

NBA refs call traveling like the German police write up speeding on the Autobahn. The bigger the superstar, the lesser the likelihood you will get called for traveling.
And that’s why LeBron got away with this doozy of a walk Friday night against the Pistons. It should take at least two dribbles to get the hole from half court, right? RIGHT? Not when you’re LBJ.

Nike Zoom Revis “Cool Grey” – Now Available
Many have been waiting for the Cool Grey colorway of the Nike Zoom Revis sneakers to drop after LeBron James rocked them a few months earlier. Now it’s finally available, as you can cop your pair now on Nike Store.
This colorway has been limited and it could run out fast. I suggest copping pretty quickly before supplies run out (good thing I got mine early).

A torn ACL is a death sentence to any athlete. When a star in the league suffers that gruesome injury, all you can do is feel for them. It is a helpless feeling being that player, especially when they believe it is only a minor injury. That was the case for Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, after he thought he had only hyperextended his knee during Boston’s double overtime loss...
