When stumbling upon this photo today, it immediately invoked feeling for me that had been reserved for one man;  a basketball legend that wore green, two decades earlier. A similar photo of Larry Bird was published in late 1989 to dawn the cover of Sports Illustrated. This photo was to commemorate the Legend’s return to basketball from season-ending injury. [...]

October 20, 2012
The Boston Celtics have a new look to them. Â Sure, there are some familiar faces, but this is not the team with the original big three - the big three that started the trend of players joining up in hopes of winning a championship. Â This is a team minus Ray Allen, a key part of the championship the Celtics did win in 2008. Â Here's an update on some key players on the current...

Pierce serves Nets reality check
That beautiful new Brooklyn arena and those slick black uniforms are getting the Nets plenty of attention.
The Boston Celtics sure noticed, and they delivered a reminder Thursday night that the road to the Atlantic Division title doesn't run through Atlantic Avenue just yet.
Paul Pierce scored 18 points despite briefly leaving with an ankle injury, and the Celtics spoiled the...

Celtics 115, Nets 85
Paul Pierce scored 18 points despite briefly leaving with an ankle injury, and the Boston Celtics spoiled the Brooklyn Nets' return to national TV with a 115-85 exhibition victory Thursday night.
Courtney Lee also had 18 for the Celtics in a rematch of the Nets' 97-96 victory in Boston two nights earlier. The Nets rallied to pull that one out even while resting their starters...

It's a Fast Break!

October 20, 2012
What I have enjoyed the most this preseason is watching the Celtics fast breaks. For the first time, Rondo has multiple options on the break instead of getting the ball up court quickly and then having to dribble around while he waits for the rest of the team to get in place. The play above has Paul Pierce running ahead and getting the hoop. More than likely, he won't be...

9 a.m. ET: Paul Pierce could not have looked much sharper than he did Tuesday, when the Celtics forward scored 29 points in a one-point loss to the Nets. Those same Nets host
Pierce and the Celtics on Thursday at the newly minted Barclays Center.
This is the sixth of eight preseason games for the Celtics, who are still a long way from knowing exactly what starting lineup and rotation...

Nets fans sound a bit different than they did after their team blew out the Celtics. Lots of hate for Deron Williams. When fans are longing to have Gerald Green back, you know there are problems. Of course there are the wheelchair comments after Pierce came up limping after he was shoved into the photographers by Joe Johnson. Funny, he didn't seem to have that mean streak...

We got a look at the future tonight and it was fun. Doc sat KG, Pierce to rest them since they have another game tomorrow night and the young guys got a lot of run in this game.
Doc started Rondo, Lee, Green, Sully and Collins with Melo, Terry, Kurz, Downs, and Joseph playing off the bench. The Knicks also sat their stars with Melo, Amare and Chandler all sitting this one out...

The Brooklyn Nets wanted this game. We knew that when Avery Johnson rested his starters on Tuesday night. The new look Nets were on national television in their new arena against the Celtics.
How did Brooklyn respond? They got steamrolled.
The Celtics were aggressive on both ends of the floor and dominated this game from start to finish. The final was 115-85.

“I’ll always be disappointed with that because of the way it went down. But it is what it is, so I’m over it, but, you know, you’re always disappointed about stuff."
Coach Rivers goes on to say:
"But as far as our team, I moved on the next day. We were trying to build our team. We already had Jason Terry; we knew that. So my next...
