Semih Erden cried when he was traded last season along with Luke Harangody for a 2nd round pick and a bag of Stacy's Pita Chips. As he sits on the Cavs bench watching that train wreck of a team play night after night, Erden ponders his escape.Being a free agent this summer, Erden tells CSNNE.com that the Celtics will be on his short list of teams he'll consider playing for.
"Why not?" Erden said. "We will see what happens. I was in the street yesterday, everybody know me; that was exciting, they did not forget me. I was like, 'oh, that's nice!' To be here, this was my first (NBA) experience. I'm happy."
Because of that comfort level by both, a return to Boston wouldn't be that big a stretch for the 7-footer from Turkey.
Prior to tonight's game, Erden spent some time in the C's locker room chatting up Garnett, Paul Pierce and others.
"I miss Boston," Erden said. "It's good to be here."Hopefully Erden ...

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
And, for Pierce, there also was frustration about a lack of fourth-quarter playing time, the 14th-year veteran openly wondering if things might have been different if he played more than the final 3:42,...

Rondo Injury A Blessing In Disguise

February 02, 2012
The Celtics beat the Raptors 64-100 yesterday at home without Rajon Rondo and back-up Keyon Dooling. This was the Celtics best margin of victory since 2009. This moves the celtics to 11-10, finally getting over .500. None of this sounds that impressive, considering the celts were playing a improved, but by no means, decent Raptors team. What I was impressed with was the...

When the Cleveland Cavaliers drafted Kyrie Irving into the NBA, they took a chance on a kid that only played 11 games in college, little did they know he would become the best rookie playing in the NBA. Irving helped the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Boston Sunday night and the Cavs face Boston again tonight at home. I’ll bet Boston will be taking this kid Irving a little more seriously...

Is he the cure to what ails Boston? No, not nearly. But rookie guard E'Twaun Moore is at least proving himself deserving of some extra playing time. After starting the season a miserable 9-of-37 from the floor, the Purdue alum ripped off a breakout performance Thursday night in Orlando, drilling four of four 3-pointers to lead Boston to a 27-point comeback -- the signature moment...

The Celtics had pissed away an 11 point lead but they still had a chance to win. All they had to do was stop the Cleveland Cavaliers one time and they could go home with a winning record.
But they didn't. Kyrie Irving split the defense, laid it in, and now all that great stuff we watched over the past week has been erased. Or at least pushed aside.
So how did...

Anderson Varejao played like an Eastern Conference All Star again on Tuesday night. He opened the game by scoring 10 points in his first ten minutes on the floor, finished with career highs of 10 offensive rebounds to go with a career mark of 20 total boards, and chased all that with 20 points of his own as well. If you insist on a statistical argument to validate Varejao's...
