I saw an interesting tweet from ESPN’s Chris Broussard at the end of last week. I’ve probably said on the blog that I’m not a very big fan of Broussard, but he does have his ear to the grindstone when it comes to all things NBA, so I do follow his Tweeter feed [...]

"Nine [Rondo] was edgy today, man. I loved it," Garnett said. "I love the fact that he came out and he set the tone. And I thought he got guys involved and he was all over the place. When we win...

With a little over 9 minutes to go in the 4th quarter at the Garden on Sunday, I pointed out Rondo's stats on the scoreboard to my buddy. He figured there was no chance for a triple-double because at the time Rajon had just 6 rebounds.

So what if the Celtics were taking on a Bulls team that was missing last season's MVP? Who cares? Last time I checked, they don't dock your victory if you play a team with their superstar forced to watch from the bench. A win is a win is a win.
The Celtics got that win two days after one of the most pathetic performances of the current Big Three era. Boston...

It's been a tough season for most Celtics fans. The awful start tempered the enthusiasm of even the most hardcore Green-teamers.
We've been distracted by a lot of trade talk. The Chris Paul/Rajon Rondo rumors dominated training camp. From there, we jumped into the blow-it-up debate as the Cs lost 8 of their first 12 games.
Even when the Celtics rattled off 9 wins in...
