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

I'm not going to bother going through them all individually. I'm sorry KG gets swept in this because he had a decent game.. but even he needed to do more. If you're the only guy hitting them, then you need to be the guy taking them...

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...

Celtics vs. Lakers: I see pride, I see power, I see bad-ass mothers
Stubbornness. Pride. Competitiveness. Maybe even a little stupidity. In the past two days, Paul Pierce and Kobe Bryant — two aging stars on teams that would be seventh seeds if the playoffs started today — have both conceded that championships remain the driving force.Championships. Is it possible for the Big Three to win a second? For Kobe to win a sixth? For the NBA...

The first features Boston Celtics it happened during the first quarter in the Celtics 91-89 victory over the New York Knicks. Rajon Rondo is one of the best point guards in the NBA especially his passing ability. Rondo has the ball out near the three...

Comments from the other side - Bobcats 2/7
Have to feel for Bobcats fans. Most of their forums are all about how bad their own team is. But I have to give them props for staying with their team. Not a lot of hatred for the Celtics like we get on the NY boards and some others. Other than the person who thought it would be cool for Pierce to get stabbed, that is. I imagine we'll see lots of that in Thursday's game...

Happy 30th birthday, Mickael Pietrus!
Mickael Pietrus turns 30 today, and will hopefully have more than one reason to celebrate if the Celtics beat the Bobcats at the TD Garden tonight. But according to an interview with CSNNE's Jessica Camerato, his birthday has always been a bittersweet experience for Pietrus, who lost his mother at age 9:

Mickael Pietrus takes a pass to the face
I guess this was a nice wake-up call for Mickael. Dude just checks in the game looking to provide an offensive punch for the second unit and he's taking a pass from Rondo straight to the noggin. If Doc's going to call on you early to provide some energy then you can't be sleep walking out there. This should have been an easy layup for Pietrus but instead he gets smoked...

Rondo Knocks Out Teammate, with a Pass
During the first quarter of the Celtics' 91-89 victory over the New York Knicks Friday night, Rajon Rondo passed the ball to Mickael Pietrus. Shocker, yes, but what happened next is even more fun. While Jeff Van Gundy goes on a non-poetic epic (long story) about how to make a dynasty, the pass happened to hit him in the head and knocking him over with his arms left in the...

Video: Rondo knocks out teammate with pass
During the first quarter of the Celtics' 91-89 victory over the New York Knicks, Rajon Rondo passed the ball to Mickael Pietrus, hitting him in the head and knocking him over. I am sure this clip will make my end of the year blooper reel. In case you missed last season's blooper reel, you can watch it here. Thanks to Jesse Dampolo for sharing the video!

Celtics newcomer Mickael Pietrus talks to the media about his love for Kevin Garnett, including how much he learns from him and tries to emulate his pre-game warm-up routine (minus banging his head). Pietrus discusses his fight with Garnett during last year's Suns-Celtics game, and confesses that the main reason he came to Boston was to play with KG and Doc Rivers.
