Via CSNNE:
Brian Scalabrine, former NBA forward and current Comcast SportsNet New England on-air broadcaster, has been inspired by fans who insist they are better basketball players than him.
CSNNE, 98.5 The Sports Hub's Toucher & Rich and Scalabrine concocted 'The Toucher & Rich One-on-One Scallenge.' They scoured hundreds of video submissions from "the best ballers in Boston" and selected the four best challengers to go one-on-one with the White Mamba.
Best ballers minus Karl Dillinger that is. This will air next week on CSNNE. Should be a fun watch.

Carlos Boozer has been considered a constant disappointment since he signed a massive contract with the Chicago Bulls in the summer of 2010.

A superstar power forward will play an average of forty minutes per game during the regular season, forty-four minutes a game during the playoffs, and forty-eight minutes under coach Thibs. Forty-eight minutes is exactly what Carlos Boozer and Taj Gibson give the Bulls every night.
In no world is Carlos Boozer a superstar. His jumper seems to miss in big games and big spots...

Marco Belinelli is a name most casual basketball fans won't know. The backup shooting guard drops about 10 point per game and plays about 24 minutes a night. Last night he made what looked to be the biggest shot of his career. Boozer tossed him an entry pass and Belinelli barely hung onto it, then he proceeded to hit a seemingly impossible fade away. Coutrney Lee of the...

After the game last night Joakim Noah (son of French professional tennis player Yannick Noah) was asked about playing defense against Kevin Garnett. Here's what Noah had to say:
(I was) just playing defense. Just playing sound defense, just contesting his shots. He's a helluva competitor. He's always on some bulls---. Always on some bulls---. Just trying to throw elbows...

The Celtics have lost. This one really sucked. We had a lead with a few seconds left in both the fourth and in OT, yet we couldn't catch a break. Rondo played amazing: putting in 30 points, 2 rebounds, and 7 assists. Unfortunately, he fouled out mid-way through overtime. This one stings and I just want to move on, but I won't.
