CELTICS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Comments from the other side - Raptors 2/10
Well, this was depressing. What's even more depressing is I'm seeing some of the negative comments toward the Celtics on Celtics boards that I've been amazed at on the others. I've always been proud of how Celtics fans stand behind their team but it seems that these last two losses with little effort from the Celtics have some Celtics fans ready to bail on the team...

Doc Rivers furious after loss to Raptors
Doc Rivers could have used a bubble bath and a lemon spritzer on Friday night after he left the Air Canada Centre, or perhaps a Boy Meets World marathon and a full body massage. The Boston Celtics coach resembled a geyser the way steam erupted out of his head during the second quarter of Boston’s 86-74 loss to the Toronto Raptors, and matters didn’t improve much from...

Deron Williams, Stephen Curry Among Top 10 Trade Possibilities for Celtics' Rajon Rondo (Photos)
The Boston Celtics have been on a roller coaster ride so far this season, with stretches of horrid play and at other times looking like NBA title contenders. But through it all one thing has been constant, as Rajon Rondo goes so does the Boston offense. Rondo has been an integral part of the Celtics attack for four seasons now and is widely considered one of the best point guards...

Celtics embarrassed by Toronto 86-74
There are clunkers, and then there are games like the Celtics played on Friday night.
Of course, I'm giving the Celtics credit by saying that they actually "played" the Toronto Raptors. I think some more realistic terms would be "walked through," "forgot to attend" and "were in a coma for."
I've seen more energy and aggressiveness in mausoleums compared to what Boston...

Recap: I nailed the Celtics effort tonight
If you want to know what went wrong with the Celtics in Toronto, just read my preview. It was spot-on, minus the score.
The highlight of the game was Doc Rivers outburst during a 20-second time-out. Doc walked onto the court and blasted his players. The above screen-grab (courtesy Chris Forsberg) is a timid snapshot of Doc's tirade.
The Celtics sucked. Flat. Out. Sucked.

Raptors 86, Celtics 74: Make it two straight hideous defeats
The Boston Celtics took more than two minutes to score, and when they did, their first two points were the result of a bogus foul call. An off-balance Kevin Garnett jump shot bounded off the backboard and almost smacked Mickey Mouse, chilling on his couch down in Florida, more than 1,000 miles away, straight between the eyes, but Garnett was sent to the foul line and made both free...

Jermaine O’Neal out tonight; Bradley, Dooling, Pavlovic too
Since he reacted like the victim of a mild lion bite, I’m assuming Jermaine O’Neal injured his shoulder last night during this dunk. Whether my hypothesis is correct or O’Neal actually hurt himself while polishing off a sleeve of Ritz crackers later in the night, Boston’s normal starting center will miss tonight’s meeting with the Toronto Raptors, according...

Refs missed Rondo calling time out on last play of regulation
So I was watching the last play of the game to see what happened and whether the Celtic could have gotten a better shot. What I saw, though, was something that the referees missed and it should have given the Celtics a chance at a better look to end the game.
With 2.4 seconds left, Rajon Rondo sees Paul Pierce is in trouble. He immediately begins signaling for a time out...

Doc, Pierce, KG & Ray Post Game Pressers vs. Lakers
Doc Rivers looked defeated after his team met that fate against the Lakers. Kevin Garnett was left off the All-Star team for the first time in over a decade. Paul Pierce missed his chance to nail the game-winner. Ray Allen was open on the last play of regulation, but Pierce couldn’t get him the ball.

Video: K.G. snaps ball to Rondo after opening tip
It looks like the Boston Celtics have officially “jumped the shark” after performing these Harlem Globetrotter antics.
Watch as Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo show off their long-snapping abilities after securing the opening tip off against the Lakers. You have got to hand it to the boys from Beantown for making a relatively boring play totally awesome! Now if they...

Why Larry Bird was a better scorer than Paul Pierce
Who is the better scorer, Larry Bird or Paul Pierce?
There's been a big push lately to give that nod to Paul Pierce. Not just for passing Bird as the Celtics #2 all-time scorer, but for his versatility. The Truth has a great mid-range game (hello, right elbow jumper). He can shoot the three ball. He can also attack the basket and get to the rim.
Larry Bird was a phenomenal...

Kobe Bryant: Shooting for the scoring leader record
Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers holds a number of records and is arguably one of the top players to ever play the game, but will he end up being the all-time scoring leader for the NBA? Kobe might be saying “Tell me how my ass tastes” as he passes Shaquille O’Neal on the All-Time scoring list as he continues his legacy. He is the youngest NBA player to score...
