Of course, Ryan Hollins wants to return to the Boston Celtics. Makes sense considering they rescued him from the bowels of NBA destitution and turned him into a postseason rotation performer. (CSNNE)“Of course,” he told CSNNE.com. “I would love to be here next season.”“[They pushed me] incredibly hard,” he said. “It’s not just being hard and yelling — it’s by example. The small things, talking here and there, it’s rubbed off.“He added, “[I’m] dedicated. I’ve always taken my job seriously and loved the game, but the dedication (on the Celtics), eat sleep drink basketball, every day, every day, every day.”In a perfect world, of course, Hollins will not be in the Celtics’ postseason rotation in 2012-13 (or he will be much improved). I like the guy and I love the energy he brings to the court every night, but he’s the result of an experiment in which Tyson Chandler is forced to wear a blindfold every time he steps onto an NBA court.Hollins does ha...

The Boston Celtics are scheduled to play 10 summer league games this offseason between stops in Orlando and Las Vegas. While we wait to see which players will be making these treks (a couple of which we probably won't know until after the draft later this month), here's a look at Boston's summer schedule:

While there has been considerable speculation as to what Bass will do this summer, his agent tells CSNNE.com that the 6-foot-8 forward plans to opt-out of the final year of his contract, and thus test the free agent waters.
However, all indications are that Bass is hoping...

The Big Three's window in Boston may finally be closing. It's safe to say that the Celtics got much more than they bargained for out of the combination of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, what with the C's taking the Heat to Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals. What was expected to be a three-year run at the title has turned into a five-year era in the storied...

Who is a better point guard in the NBA: Rajon Rondo or Chris Paul?
Via Sports Blog Net

June 14, 2012
The question of who is a better NBA point guard out of Rajon Rondo or Chris Paul is a tricky one because their styles of play are not exactly the same. The biggest difference people say between them is Paul can create his own shot at any point of a game where they might not have as much confidence in Rondo in an isolation situation. Are these notions fact or fiction? This article...

Is Moe Harkless in the Celtics future?
The crazy part about the end of the NBA season is how fast the off-season comes. This year, due to the shorter regular season and later start to the play-offs, those dates come even faster.
Believe it or not, the NBA draft is only two weeks away.
