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...

He will be replaced by Marquis Daniels, who since Mickael Pietrus’ signing has seen a sharp reduction in playing time.

Celtics 94, Bobcats 84: Paul Pierce passes Larry Bird on Celtics scoring list
Many years from now, when I have no teeth and drink Ensure by the gallon, I will speak glowingly of the night Paul Pierce passed Larry Bird on the Boston Celtics scoring lost. By then I will likely forget his points came against the Charlotte Bobcats. I will forget Sasha Pavlovic ever existed. I will even forget the names of my closest acquaintances.But I hope to never forget the...

The Boston Celtics came back from 27 points Thursday night to beat the Orlando Magic 91-83. This is the third straight win for the Celtics without Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo. This is also the second straight win against Orlando, as the Celts opened up a can of whoop-ass on Monday when they beat the Magic 87-56.

Boston Celtics Sasha Pavlovic Could Earn More Minutes
After watching Sasha Pavlovic play the first few games this year, forgive me if I never had any faith that I would be writing anything positive about him. Pavlovic looked like the last guy off the bench for any team due to his poor play. Pavlovic was a shooter that could not shoot and an aggressive defender that was not aggressive. hence it did not shock me that Doc Rivers buried...

Celtics vs Magic GreenLights
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...

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...

Orlando Forgot How To Play Basketball; Tim Duncan Never Forgets How To Play Ball
Who stole Orlando’s offense? With the Celtics reeling from injuries and actually giving legit minutes to people like Sasha Pavlovic and E’Twaun Moore, the Magic could’ve stepped on their necks. Instead, they folded like a bad hand, scoring only 56 for the game and leaving Boston with a 31-point L on their foreheads. 56 points [...]

Avery Bradley: More good than bad for Avery last night. The D on Nash was solid, he finished at the rim and he was 3-6 from 16-23 feet. As much as I get on the guy for his long range inaccuracy, 50% from that distance is pretty good. Here'...

Mickael Pietrus practices with Celtics second team
Fantastic news for the Celtics. There was a rumor that Pietrus may be able to play Wednesday night against Dallas, so this is a great sign that he may actually give it a go. It's also a great sign that Sasha Pavlovic may be buried on the bench soon. The best of both worlds.

Chris Wilcox's impact on Marquis Daniels, & how simple fundamentals will rescue the bench
The Celtics bench has totally been re-tooled. The only returning players are Marquis Daniels (who missed half the season after his injury), Avery Bradley (who barely played last year), and Sasha Pavlovic (who is returning in only the strictest sense of the term).
We touched on the bench in the Dump, noting how awful Marquis Daniels has been. And there's no getting...

WEEI play by play man Sean Grande has the scoop. Paul Pierce is not only ready to go, he'll be ready to start his first game fo the season. Which means Sasha Pavlovic can get his first DNP-Coach's Decision of the season.
Hopefully the first of many for both.
