Kevin Garnett Cannot Play 48 Minutes a Night, So Celtics Must Find Ways to Play Well Without Him
BOSTON — The year before Kevin Garnett came to Boston, he logged nearly 40 minutes per night for the Minnesota Timberwolves, purely out of necessity. That Wolves squad was so thin that the infamous Mark Blount was the third-leading scorer, and nobody other than Garnett grabbed more than five rebounds or blocked more than one shot a night.
That was seven years ago.

What the Hell Happened to...Chris Herren?
By the time I got traded (to the Celtics), I was happy for all the wrong reasons. I wasn't happy because I was back home and had grown up idolizing the Celtics. I was happy because I was back home and I knew where to get drugs.
Weed, coke, crystal meth. Alcohol and ecstasy. Heroin and oxycontin. Chris Herren’s been there and done that. And he’s not afraid to...

Danny's Vision and Vindication
Danny took his share of abuse for the Celtics fortunes over his first 3 years on the job. When he became the Celtics GM he said that he had a 5 year plan to rebuild the Celtics and get them back to contention. His plan was to gather "chips" and then trade them for established stars. Many fans were disillusioned with the "youth movement" and felt that the Celtics...
Jared Sullinger has forgotten more about rebounding than Mark Blount ever knew
The Boston Celtics, for years, have rebounded like the ball might give them a disease. But rookie Jared Sullinger has always been a very good rebounder. And he’s reduced it, much like Kevin Love has done, to a sweet science. (Boston Herald)“You have to know your niche,” Sullinger said. “You have to know that if they shoot from the left side, 75 percent of the time it...
Al Jefferson Back in Playoffs, Ending Drought That Overshadowed His Skills
Feel good for Al Jefferson, Celtics fans. Jefferson, who the Celtics selected with the 15th pick in the 2004 draft, had never been to the playoffs before this season -- not really, anyway. He was no more than a rookie in 2004-05 when he made his only postseason trip with Boston, under the tutelage of Raef LaFrentz and Mark Blount and taking fewer shots per game than Jiri Welsch....
Recap: Celtics lose game and more bodies
I had a feeling this face punch compilation from Road House would fit the game recap. The Mavericks beat up the Celtics tonight, 89-73.
The script was the same... there's no need to rehash the lack of rebounding and second chance points. Not having anyone who could guard Dirk Nowitzki (26 points, 16 rebounds) certainly didn't help.
The Celtics lost two more bigs: Jermaine...
Where Does Stiemsma's Rookie Start Rank In Celtics Recent History?
We're talking Celtic's centers right here. Glen Davis and Leon Powe are forwards so they don't count. I've also cut this list down to include only players whose 1st starts were as rookies, the only exception being Kendrick Perkins who only played 36 minutes as an actual rookie. The list goes all the way from Stiemsma against the Wizards to Brad Lohaus against the...

“The Worst Celtic Ever” Award: My nominations and winner
I grew up during the worst era in Boston Celtics franchise history. Born one year after the ’86 Celtics rampaged through the NBA using a clinic in team ball, my birth came months after the ’87 Celtics valiantly limped their way into the NBA Finals but could not defeat the Lakers. Kevin McHale nursed a broken foot, Larry Bird battled through nagging back injuries, Bill Walton...
