  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.  It's the timing.  It's the timing of the play, it's the timing of when I got the pass, the late rotation.  If all that comes together at the right time, those things happen.  It's not like I caught the ball and said "let's go make something happen."  It just came together like that. ESPN LA: Blake Griffin on Dunk Well, it happens.  At the end of the day, if you're a shot blocker, you're gonna get dunked on.  It was a great play.  I mean, obviously I wish I wasn't in it, but it was a great play. ESPN LA:  Video: Kendrick Perkins on Griffin's dunk This was pretty sick.  But I gotta give Perk credit.  Everyone's comparing it to the dunk on Timofey Mozgov, but Mozgov just stood there.  At least Per tried to challenge the dunk.  He went down ...

Rondo could miss most of February

The Celtics have played extremely well as of late, but you have to wonder if the streak will continue if Rajon Rondo misses significant time while recovering from a wrist injury.

Are the Celtics Better Without Rajon Rondo?

For a while there, it seemed like the Celtics didn't miss Rajon Rondo at all. With the Celtics point guard sidelines with a sore right wrist, the Celtics won four straight games and edged their record back to .500. They enter Wednesday's game against the Raptors with a 5-2 mark in Rondo's absence. Results aside, it is hard to argue that the Celtics are better off without...

Celtics G Rondo still out with wrist injury

Celtics All-Star guard Rajon Rondo will miss his seventh straight game with an injured right wrist. Boston coach Doc Rivers said at the team's morning shootaround that Rondo will not play Tuesday night against the Cavaliers but could return to the lineup later this week. Rondo is traveling with the team. Boston hosts Toronto on Wednesday. The Celtics have gone 4-2 without Rondo...

Rajon Rondo ‘would probably be playing’ if it were playoffs, says Danny Ainge

Even if Danny Ainge said I am a Celtics blogger, I would not trust him. If he told me I am a 24-year old male (which I am), I would not trust him. And if he described a Boston Celtics injury, I would take his words, delete them from my memory, chuckle that he expected anyone might believe them, and shake my head while remembering Shaq, who was said to return “next week”...

Blake Griffin Just Had The Greatest Dunk Of All Time

Blake Griffin has thrown down some pretty monstrous dunks in his short NBA career. There were these two amazing jams against the Knicks last year including permanently putting Timofey Mozgov on a poster. There was this steal and reverse dunk against the Pistons. There was this 360 in the Slam Dunk contest and he even dunked over a car. There were over 200 more from his rookie...

Rajon Rondo Can't Return Quickly Enough for Celtics, Who Are Starting to Feel Point Guard's Absence

Tune out all the noise. Stop wondering about about whether Chris Kaman will give the Celtics some depth in the post or whether Paul Pierce should ever leave the court in crunch time. There's one major issue for the Celtics, and it's the obvious one. The more games Rajon Rondo spends on the sideline in his dapper suits with an injured right wrist, the harder it will gradually...

Blake Griffin dunk: “It’s better than a Mozgov!”

Before Timofey Mozgov became the Nuggets starting center this season, he was best known for being dunk upon/over by Blake Griffin, back when Timofey played for the Knicks. Well, on Monday night, the Clippers’ Griffin unleashed a similar dunk on a similarly sized center – Kendrick Perkins of the Thunder (video below). As the broadcasters lost their minds, here was their debate...

Ray Allen expected to play, Rajon Rondo out against Cavs

According to multiple sources at the TD Garden, including CLNS Radio’s Jared Weiss,, Ray Allen is expected to make his return from an ankle injury tonight at the TD Garden. Allen has missed the last three games after going down with the injury on January 22nd against the Washington Wizards. As expected, it is also [...]

Hot Shooting Celtics Gun Down Raptors 100-64

The Boston Celtics finally completed their long climb  to get above the .500 mark on Wednesday night at the “New Garden” as they beat up the Toronto Raptors as well as took their lunch money winning by a lopsided margin of 100-64. The home team shot a scorching 52.0% (39-75) from the floor as well as 50% (12-24) from outside the arc. They held their visitors to an anemic...

Celtics Live Blog: C's Hoping to Rely on Depth With Last-Place Raptors in Town

8 a.m.: After sweeping three games last week against two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics are in the midst of slate that is much less formidable. Two consecutive games against the Cavaliers did not garner the two victories the Celtics hoped for, though, and they'll take another crack at a mediocre squad when the Raptors visit the TD Garden on Wednesday...
