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...

Injury Report: Pavlovic & Dooling Out, Daniels in vs. Lakers
Sasha Pavlovic is dealing with a flare up in his wrist injury that will keep him out of action tonight. He will be replaced by Marquis Daniels, who since Mickael Pietrus’ signing has seen a sharp reduction in playing time. Also sitting out tonight is Keyon Dooling, who has been absent since suffering a hip [...]

Celtics power forward Brandon Bass returns to action against the Bobcats after missing Sunday’s win over the Grizzlies with a knee injury. However, point guard Keyon Dooling and shooting guard Marquis Daniels will be out tonight. The news regarding Dooling was optimistic, with Doc Rivers expecting him to return before the All-Star break. Regardless of [...]

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...

So Brandon Bass is in... there's no surprise (or not so surprise) injury to Jermaine O'Neal.... Rajon Rondo hasn't had a setback... and Paul Pierce will not "rest" so he can pass Larry Bird against the Lakers.
All things considered, I think this is full strength for us. I barely remember...

From the GreenLab: The Badger Cut
When Rajon Rondo went down hard on a drive to the basket and injured his wrist against the Toronto Raptors a couple of weeks ago, the Celtics were on their way to ending a five game losing streak. At first, it didn't seem so bad, but the thoughts crept in: "If the C's struggled so much with him so far this season, what happens if he's out for an extended length...

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...

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.
It's the timing. It's the timing of the play, it's the timing of when I got the pass, the late rotation. If all that comes together at the right time, those things happen. It'...

Allen, Rondo, O’Neal & Dooling Out Tonight vs. Pacers
Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Keyon Dooling and Jermaine O’Neal will all be out for the Celtics tonight. Allen is nursing an ankle injury, while Rondo is still recovering from a nasty wrist sprain suffered last week against the Raptors. Dooling tweaked his left hip flexor in last night’s game against the Magic, while Jermaine O’Neal [...]

Taking Stock: Celtics - Magic
After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value.

What the Celtics comeback win over Orlando really means
The Boston Celtics looked like a team that should have been playing in an over-40 YMCA league instead of the NBA for the first half of last night's game against Orlando. Without Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal and losing Keyon Dooling again in the second quarter, the Celtics were proving all of their national critics right by looking older than dirt, moving slower...

One for the Ages…Celtics stun the Magic with 91-83 comeback victory
Payback is a $%&@
But the Orlando Magic would have none on this night falling to the Boston Celtics 91-83 in historic fashion.
Monday’s loss was hurtful and embarrassing. Orlando wanted to prove that Boston’s first win was a fluke because a team with 5 rotation players missing should never win by 31.
Never.
The Orlando Magic said all the right things before their...

Not only was the report that Pietrus will miss tonight's game premature... he's getting the start in place of Ray Allen.
Jermaine O'Neal is doubtful, though. Don't expect him or Rondo. Chris Wilcox and Keyon Dooling will play.

Rondo and Allen Out Tonight, O'Neal Unlikely; Pietrus, Dooling, and Wilcox Return
CSNNE's Kyle Draper reported Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen will not play tonight against the Orlando Magic, and Jermaine O'Neal is likely joining them on the sidelines due to some knee swelling from a knee-to-knee collision that occurred in Monday night's game.
The good news is that Mickael Pietrus is back from his shoulder injury and will start for Ray Allen. Keyon Dooling...

In what turned out to be a defensively historic game for the Boston Celtics, they played easily their best wire-to-wire games of the season. With that, we've decided to go a bit retro here today, displaying "GreenLights" for each quarter. Sit back and enjoy the outstanding collective effort, despite having no Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Keyon Dooling, Mickael Pietrus...

Last Night I Went to the Craziest NBA Game I Have Ever Seen
Orlando was 11-4 and heading to Boston with two days rest. The 6-9 Celtics had just played in Washington the day before. They were also missing Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen, as well as BOTH their back-ups, Keyon Dooling and Mickael Pietrus. Everything was pointing towards an easy Magic victory; which made what unfolded before my eyes last night all the more shocking.

Ray Allen not with the Celtics as they leave for Orlando
This shouldn't come as a huge surprise as the Celtics will make sure that Ray's as close to 100 percent as possible before bringing him back. We knew going into the season that, for the vast majority of the C's, it will take a little longer for them to recover from these types of bumps and bruises. In addition, A. Sherrod Blakely informed us that Ray and his wife are...

Comments From the Other Side - Magic 1/23
I love gathering these comments when fans start out guaranteeing a win and end up eating crow. Truthfully, the Celtics surprised me and I'm always expecting a win. Interesting how Magic fans turned on their team by the end of the game. Big Baby doesn't have a lot of fans in Orlando right now. This was a great win for the Celtics. Not bad for a bunch of "old guys...

The odds of Boston earning a win against a hot Orlando Magic team on Monday night did not look good. The Celtics being called banged up would be the understatement of the year.
