Celtic Hero, James Posey (speaking through his agent, Mark Bartelstein) helped ease the fears of C's fans everywhere, stating that he truly wants to return to Boston and help defend our title.  Now, in no way does this mean Posey is a lock to remain a Celtic, and he's still opting out of his   more...

This game was a battle from the beginning. The first quarter was rather tentative by both teams as they were trying to get a feel for each others' games. At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics held a 23-21 lead with the Celtics shooting 47% and the Lakers shooting 48%. Kobe was 2-8 in the   more...

he Celtics have 9 players under contract right now with a total payroll of 71,369,509. That alone is more than likely going to be over the salary cap and very close to luxury tax level. They also have 6 free agents: Tony Allen, James Posey, Sam Cassell, PJ Brown, Scot Pollard, and Eddie House. They   more...

1. In the post game coverage, right after the game was over, KG was yelling and started to fall back and Leon Powe was behind him and wrapped his arms around him and said, "I got you KG, I got you." That just seemed to summarize the season. The players all had each others backs all season.2. In the   more...

The Celtics did not offer Tony Allen a qualifying offer (http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2008/07/01/posey_is_ce ltics_top_target/?rss_id=Boston.com+--+Boston+Celtics+news), so he's an unrestricted free agent. That means we will not have the right to match any offer he   more...

ESPN and a bunch of athletes and celebrities were in Los Angeles this week for the taping of the ESPY awards. I got a chance to spend a couple of days at the ESPY Style Suites to take in the scene and speak to some players.There was all kinds of loot for the ESPY participants [...]

There's not a lot more that can be said with any certainty until the ball drops on Wednesday. I'm sure there's plenty of maneuvering going on behind the scenes, but there are no significant news stories to report. So we'll just take this moment to make wild assumptions and nutty predictions.I   more...

In a game that was reminiscent of the 1988 Eastern Conference Finals where Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins went head to head, LeBron James and Paul Pierce battled from start to finish of the Celtics 97-92 win. As in that classic game of yesterday, LeBron won the duel but Pierce got the win.The   more...

Throughout the NBA playoffs, I've thought about interesting ways to integrate the Celtics into a post. For the life of me, I couldn't think of a good parallel between baseball and basketball. But then I realized something, as a fan it's not always about the sport itself, the X's and O's or numbers   more...

The game began like a nightmare. Boston's offense mimicked the complete lack of flow from game 1. The Cavs were triple-teaming KG on the block, not allowing him any good looks. Not only was Ray Allen missing his field goals, he was missing free-throws as well. Worst of all, the Cavs head coach   more...
