This BoB promises to be one of the best hours you&...
K-Mart Has Not Heard From The Boston Celtics About A Job
News broke earlier today that the Boston Celtics may have interest in signing free agent Erick Dampier to bring some veteran rebounding help to their roster and begin to reverse a dreadful trend of being out-rebounded and generally out-muscled game in and game out by the teams in the NBA with bigger frontcourts. Another [...]

Report: Celtics Have Considered Erick Dampier, But Haven’t Spoken With Kenyon Martin
Perhaps a veteran big man could help the Celtics shed the “soft” label that Doc Rivers placed on them last week.
According to The Boston Globe, the Celtics have considered bringing in Erick Dampier for a look, but all remains quiet on the Kenyon Martin front.
“We’ve done a thorough analysis of the marketplace,” Martin’s agent, Andy Miller, reportedly said, “and at this...
Celtics may bring in Dampier for workout
According to the Boston Globe, while Kenyon Martin's agent hasn't been spoken to by the Celtics since July, the team's considering bringing in Erick Dampier for a workout.
Dampier joined with WTHHT legend Dontae' Jones during college for an amazing NCAA tournament run to the Final Four. But that was back in 1996. Dontae' Jones now raps, but is Dampier the...
Celtics Considering Erick Dampier
The Celtics could take a look at Erick Dampier.
C’s interested in Dampier, haven’t called KMart
We all know the situation… Darko’s departure has left the Celtics with an open spot, and they are considering adding a big man to help their glaring need for some productive height that can help defend the rim and maybe… possibly… grab a freakin’ rebound.
Everyone keeps bringing up Kenyon Martin’s name…
Well… everyone except the Celtics.
“At this stage, I think...

POTD 11/28/12: Marvin Williams on Robin Lopez
What was it that I was saying about Marvin Williams when he threw down his first POTD this season? Something about the eight-year veteran having a surprisingly solid and expansive slam-dunking resume, I think. Case in point, Marvin Williams’ second POTD of ’12/13…
Okay, it’s not the most spectacular dunk of all time, but it was well worth 17 seconds of your time and...
Top ten Golden State Warriors from 2000-2012
Warriors fans don’t need to be reminded of their sparing success since the new millennium.Aside from the “We Believe” year in 2007 where the eighth-seeded Warriors beat the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks, there have been numerous miserable seasons as few as 17 wins to complement six seasons of less than 30 wins. But, as players legacies are often defined by playoff success, half...

Mavs, Cuban's history of 'Overpaying' centers
We know the Mark Cuban Mavs will spend money for a center. We also know that Mavs centers, once paid, tend toward a lessened production even as they add up to 12 straight playoff seasons and two Finals berths. DallasBasketball.com breaks the story on the Mavs' consideration of a summer bid on restricted free agent Roy Hibbert of Indiana and along with that, we've got A Brief...
An odd Game 3 included Rajon Rondo’s strange triple-double
Jason Collins made an instant offensive impact, Erick Dampier and Tracy McGrady played key roles, Rajon Rondo slipped and fell on a fast break with nobody in his path, Willie Green took Atlanta’s most critical shot, and I sat there watching everything unfold, wary of Boston’s raggedy play yet reveling in the oddities of it all.If Penny Hardaway had grabbed a knee brace, checked...
Josh Smith expects to play in Game 4 unless he falls down an escalator

The Starting Lineup: Talent Prevails As Celtics Outlast Short-handed Hawks
Celtics 90, Hawks 84: Hours before the Celtics and Hawks tipped off game three in Boston I learned that Josh Smith would be sidelined due to his sprained knee. At that point I knew Atlanta would probably struggle to put points on the board, but I certainly didn’t consider them doomed. The Celtics are capable of making a game of it against any opponent, from the Miami Heat...
Celtics 90, Hawks 84: All wins counts the same, thankfully
I’m still not sure exactly how an 11-point lead dissolved into a tie game in less than three milliseconds, but only a cruel god would have subjected us to five extra minutes of that sludge. Thankfully, the Celtics prevailed in overtime against an Atlanta Hawks team that brought a lot of effort if not a lot of talented players healthy enough to compete.For all the interesting...
Box Score: Hawks 103, Cavs 87
With a new starting center and a whole new bench rotation following the departure of Ramon Sessions, the Cavaliers fall short to the Atlanta Hawks at home. Point guard Kyrie Irving had one of his better all-around games, but the Hawks capitalized on rough shooting nights from Antawn Jamison and Anthony Parker. Atlanta’s Joe Johnson showed why he’s an All-Star with center Zaza...
