Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry all had the day off from practice today. Leandro Barbosa was also not present due to illness.about 1 hour ago via TwitterrificReplyRetweetFavorite@celticsBoston CelticsThe Celtics don’t play until Wednesday’s tilt with Garnett’s alma mater, so applaud Doc for a good decision. No reason to make the elderly folks run unnecessarily, especially on the heels of a tough back to back. The Timberwolves just beat the Bucks by ten, so it’s a good idea to be as fresh as possible when they arrive.Oh, and here’s your obligatory “Hopefully Stern doesn’t fine the Celtics” joke. I hope you enjoyed it.

On having little concern over the Celtics’ sluggish start
Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics are off to a slow-start, but that should be of little concern for fans
In the four seasons that the Boston Celtics Big Three 2.0 existed in Boston before the lockout and condensed season, they were one of the best teams in basketball before Christmas Day. They made a tradition of starting out fast, gaining a big lead in the Eastern Conference and...
Enemy Chatter: Marquis Daniels and Mbah a Moute played tough defense on Pierce
We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from Milwaukee.
Marquis Daniels
Daniels played tough defense all night on Paul Pierce all game and gave the Bucks god versatility against the Pierce/Terry pick and roll late. He offers preciously little on the other end, but he knows his limitations...

Forsberg’s Practice Report: Vets get a rest

WALTHAM, Mass. — Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers gave members of the 35+ club — Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry — an extra day off and a respite from Monday’s practice, then tossed his clipboard to veteran assistant Armond Hill to run the skeleton session.

Celtkicks Spotlight: “IamJeffreyJason”
Last week, we saw some pretty sweet kicks rocked by the Boston Celtics. IamJeffreyJason has put the spotlight on a few of them for another feature. We see Rajon Rondo in the Air Jordan “Cool Grey” IX, Paul Pierce in his Nike “Air Legacy 3″ and more. Be sure to check out I.A.J.J.’s new feature, “Is it the shoes?”
Slip sliding away: Boston falls 91-88
I’ll admit it. I really thought the Celtics were going to run away with this game.It was foolish, I know. I mean, why would I think that this team could hold a 17-0 lead? Stupid, stupid. I should have known that Milwaukee would come back, because, you know, the Celtics. The only question would be whether or not Boston could hold off Milwaukee’s comeback. They could not, as it...

Celtics Show Some Fight, Not Enough in the End
Well the Celtics showed that they still have some fight in them, but unfortunately it was not enough. When Humphries came crashing down on Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo immediately came to his defense. Then a bench clearing brawl ensued—a rarity in basketball. Whether or not Rondo should have done what he did is a different story. Some could say that he was a great teammate and a...
Contributing in other ways: Courtney Lee
Courtney Lee's time in Boston has been brief, but also disappointing. We were promised elite 3-point shooting, but he has shot a career-worst 24%. He was supposed to be a good, athletic finisher but he has shot a career-worst 52.9% at the rim. Some over the summer were even predicting that Lee would keep the starting job over Avery Bradley, but instead he lost it to Jason Terry...
Al Jefferson Could Lead Celtics’ Wish List for Big Man to Fill Hole Down Low (Photos)
The Celtics entered this season intending to go small, and so far their plan has yielded mixed results. They remain just a little too old and slow to keep up with the fast-paced teams and a little too small to bang with the big bodies.
Well before Darko Milicic left the team to be with his sick mother and Jason Collins took on an increased role, the Celtics’ need for another big...
Rondo is one of the NBA’s best mid-range shooters
Bleacher Report’s Jared Wade researched the NBA’s best shooters from each area on the court.
Three Celtics make the Top 10 in the mid-range category (10 – 23 feet); Jason Terry (not surprised), Courtney Lee (mildly suprised considering his rough start to season) and… Rajon Rondo.
The Mid-Range (minimum 20 makes)
1. Chris Bosh, 48-for-85 (56.5 percent)
2. Beno Udrih, 28-for...
Celtics Live Blog: Jason Terry, Courtney Lee Try to Win Two Straight Replacing Rajon Rondo
5 p.m. ET: The Celtics were lucky to have back-to-back games on their schedule with their star point guard, Rajon Rondo, suspended for two games after fighting with Nets forward Kris Humphries. Boston is able to get the games out of the way against lesser opponents before Rondo can come back.
The 9-7 Celtics will take on the 7-7 Bucks for the third time this season, after splitting...
