    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.  “He played hard for 16 years,” Pietrus said following the C’s 100-64 victory. “I’ve been watching him the last 10 years since I’ve been in the NBA, and the way he gets ready for a game, he gets ready to compete every night, that’s where I got that from. Today, for me to play with him, it’s great because we have the same mentality and that’s what I’m trying to bring to the Celtics.”“To be honest with you," he added, "the reason I came to the Celtics is because of Coach Rivers and KG. I knew that they had Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, but he makes everybody play hard. I was like, that’s going to be a good fit for me to play with the man. I was very happy from when I got here a month ago, he told me, ‘I can’t wait to have you on the court with me.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to have fun.’...

Rondo Injury A Blessing In Disguise

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...

Pre-game video: Doc Rivers speaks on Rajon Rondo's return

Doc Rivers confirms that Rajon Rondo will be back in the line-up for tonight's match-up between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks. Marquis Daniels is out, and Avery Bradley and E'Twaun Moore will share minutes backing up Rondo tonight.

Celtics top Cavs to avenge loss

Paul Pierce scored 20 points, Ray Allen had 12 in the third quarter and the Boston Celtics avenged a disappointing loss to Cleveland two days ago by barely holding off the Cavaliers 93-90 on Tuesday night. The Celtics, who blew an 11-point lead at home Sunday in the final four minutes and lost by one, led by 22 late in the third quarter. However, the Cavs rallied again behind rookie...

The Celtics are better than Toronto

After going to a Celtics/Raptors pre-season game, my comment then was that Toronto didn’t look much like an NBA team.  Wednesday night’s game went a long way towards supporting my theory.  With just 55 seconds to go Boston led 100-60.  I thought the most encouraging signs for the Celtics were that they scored 57 points in the first half (a season high in a year where...

Video: Vote Rajon Rondo for the All-Star Game

  brightcove.createExperiences(); The good folks over at Red Bull are campaigning for their man Rajon Rondo to get an All-Star nod and even though he has been hurt, there may not be a point guard more suited for the All-Star Game. With his incredible court vision and passing skills, Rondo would have a field day throwing alleys to the best of the Eastern Conference. Hell, we might...

Rivers, Pierce calmly go forth

Celtics coach Doc Rivers said before last night’s game that Paul Pierce’s comments about being held out of the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Cavaliers until 3:42 remained were no big deal.

Leftover thoughts from Celtics-Cavaliers, starring Anderson Varejao’s 20-20 night and Boston’s young point guard growth

♣ How in the world did Anderson Varejao have 20 points and 20 rebounds? Because he was a tornado while the Celtics were a calm, 70-degree day. You’d rather have the calm day weather-wise, but damn it, tornadoes do a hell of a lot more damage. Varejao sank Cleveland’s first three buckets, and they were all exact replicas of this:Jermaine O’Neal, after the game...

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...
