Brandon Bass out 7-10 days; Jermaine O’Neal out today
Brandon Bass will miss the next 7-10 days due to a sore, swollen knee, leaving the Boston Celtics without their sixth man and primary bench scoring option. The Celtics often discuss injuries in time frames that are similar to dog years — where “7-10 days” means “out at least a month” — so let’s hope this isn’t another one of those occasions...

Celtics hangover results in 86-74 loss to Raptors
Embarrassed.
I don't feel any embarrassment but the Celtics better after this game.
That usually happens at the professional level when you take a night off in basketball. The Celtics didn’t seem to care and the score showed with Toronto taking this one easily, 86-74.
Blaming each other for the miscommunications was hard to watch.
Doc Rivers had to call two time outs in a...

Taking Stock: Celtics - Lakers
After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value.
Starters
Rajon Rondo: His numbers looked ok in the box score and he certainly had some amazing moments in the game. But he got too passive down the stretch for my liking. I know the Lakers have trees back there in Bynum and Gasol. And I know...

Brandon Bass expects to play tonight against Charlotte
The return of Brandon Bass most likely means that JaJuan Johnson will be relegated back to cheerleader duty on the Celtics' bench. Johnson played fairly well in some emergency duty Sunday afternoon, but Bass has been remarkably valuable as Boston's long-awaited scoring threat off the bench and Chris Wilcox has apparently found a time machine, meaning Johnson gets the raw...

Brandon Bass (knee) expected to return tonight
Brandon Bass (swollen knee) is expected to return to the Boston Celtics tonight after a one-game absence, a development which should add instant scoring to the bench but might keep us from excitedly (and repeatedly) shouting “JAJUAN MOTHER-FLIPPING JOHNSON!” at our television screens. For those of you fretting about my latter point, do not worry too much — we can...

Your Morning Dump: KG is just a black guy shooting 3s

Boston Celtics Doc Rivers Has Depth To Win
Before the game, head coach Doc Rivers was informed that star reserve forward Brandon Bass would not be able to play due to injury. However, Doc was not worried because he knew the guys behind Bass could contribute and help Boston win their Sunday outing against Memphis. Once again depth saved Boston as Chris Wilcox and rookie JaJuan Johnson stepped in and gave Boston the boost that...

Recap: C's pull away late to rout Grizzlies
I'll keep this short and sweet so we can all go watch the Super Bowl.
The Celtics built an 8 point first quarter lead... which was also the spread at the half and after the third quarter. But the C's pulled away in the 4th behind 10 points in the quarter from Paul Pierce and 8 from Kevin Garnett. 98-80 was the final.
Memphis helped by forgetting that the goal of...

Do You Want to See Chris Wilcox Get More Playing Time With the Celtics?
Chris Wilcox made the best possible case for getting more playing time with his play Friday against the Knicks. Wilcox' final stat line did not stand out alongside Paul Pierce, who scored 30 points, or Ray Allen, who hit multiple big shots in the fourth quarter en route to the win. The veteran center brought hustle and energy that did not show up in the box score, however, and his...

The New Orleans Hornets are trying to move center Chris Kaman and his $14 million salary. The Hornets are so intent on trading Kaman, they aren't playing him out of fear he may get injured.
While Kaman and his 11.7 ppg and 8.3 rpg career averages would be a welcome additon to the Celtics, a trade is virtually impossible. The Hornets want something of value in return, not a...
