What do we do with… the non-guaranteed guys
The offseason is here for the Boston Celtics, and in just a couple of months, they will begin the process of putting next year’s team together. We will take a look at the current Celtics and try to figure out what to do with each of them. We continue today with the non-guaranteed players.

Mock draft: Gorgui Dieng has a defensive reputation
Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix has the Celtics selecting Lousiville’s Gorgui Dieng in his initial mock draft:
With or without the core of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce — two players who may not be in Boston when training camp opens — the Celtics need size. Dieng, 23, has a defensive reputation (he was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year last season after swatting...
A Few Summer League Notes
It's awhile until Summer League starts but without the playoffs for the Celtics, there isn't a lot else to think about. Last year, with 3 new rookies, the Celtics took in both Orlando and Vegas, but they have announced that they will be going to just the Orlando Summer League this year.
Jared Sullinger has little to prove and so would be best served by continuing...
Exit Interviews: Chris Wilcox

Shavlik Randolph has an option for next season, taking a look at whether the C's bring him back
I'll admit that I openly scoffed at the Celtics when they signed Shavlik Randolph to a 10-day contract in early March. I remembered Randolph's "meh" career at Duke during the middle of the last decade, and hadn't heard his name in years. It turns out he had spent the 2012-13 season in China, dominating the Chinese Basketball Association to the tune of 32 PPG...
JZ's Keys to Game 3
Down 2-0 after a lackluster start to the 2013 playoffs, Boston must win tonight's game to have any hopes of defeating The New York Knicks. Though their backs are against the wall, The Celtics can get right back into the series if they achieve these goals.
Ride the Crowd:
The Knicks won each of the last two games on fierce second half runs, feeding off the crowd's passion...
Birdman and K-Mart: Why Didn't Boston Sign You?
Watching these playoffs, I notice two players that we could have picked up during the season, choose other teams because Danny Ainge did not want to sign them. What the BLEEEEP!
Yes the Birdman and K-Mart, are older and lost some athleticism, but they are rebounding and playing wonderful defense, while shooting at a very high percentage. Both these guys are playing strong for their...
New York 87, Celtics 71: Boston embarrassed in second half, go home down 0-2
The Celtics were looking to bounce back from a disappointing game one performance where Boston was only able to finagle eight fourth quarter points. The Celtics were up by six entering the halftime locker-room, and then it happened again. The ball stopped moving and the Knicks buckled down on defense. The rest was a blur: the Knicks make a lot of shots, some tough and some...
JZ's Keys to Game 2
After blowing a winnable series opener to The Knicks, Boston desperately needs to steal home court advantage in Game 2. If The Celtics doesn't pull off a win tonight, they'll need to win 4 of the next 5 games in the series, meaning they will have almost no margin for error. Seeing as Doc Rivers' ballclub has very little depth and has been turning it over at an inordinate...
Could Another Big Man Be The Answer?
With Game 1 done and dusted, the Celtics must regroup for Game 2 against New York and look to level the series at Madison Square Garden. If the C’s can match the Knicks in Game 2 tomorrow, an enticing three game homestand in Boston at the TD Garden awaits.
One thing we learnt from Game 1 of the series was Doc’s plan to roll with a very short rotation, bringing only Jason Terry...
Celtics Bench Non-Existent In Game 1 Loss To Knicks
There’s got to be a reason … seriously. Why would Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers only utilize three guards in Game 1 of the opening round of the NBA Playoffs against the New York Knicks?
Whatever the reason, the Celtics are now in a 0-1 hole after dropping an 85-78 decision Saturday afternoon.
Big man Shavlik Randolph averaged north of 30 points per-game in the Chinese Basketball...

Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 4/17
Well, that wasn't a fun way to spend a Wednesday night. I still chuckle at the Raptors' announcers who thought that Gino was something the Celtics do at every game because the Celtics had played it every Raptors' game. This time they got us. My favorites are in bold, what are yours? On to the playoffs.
We always lose to Boston. If they rest all their...

The Celtics official twitter account relayed some comments from Celtics president Rich Gotham on the cancellation of tonight's game. In light of the events of yesterday, I think everyone can...
5 Things Celtics must do to win tonight - Magic 4/13
Tonight, the Celtics will continue their tour of Florida when they head north to play the Magic. Although they don't technically need to win this game, it'd be nice to. With three games left in the regular season, the Celtics sit at 40-39, which means they'll need to win two more games just to have a winning record. I think that should be their next goal. Here are tonight...
5 Things Celtics must do to win tonight - Heat 4/12
Tonight, the Celtics will attempt an upset win in Miami. I have no hope that they will do it. I know that sounds bad, but it's true. KG and Pierce are out, it's on the road, and the team hasn't been playing well recently. But you never know what could happen. Here are tonight's five things:

Should the Celtics Start Resting Guys?
There are just four games that remain on the Boston Celtics regular season schedule and it seems like they're pretty much glued to the 7th seed. The Celtics entered last night's contest just a game and a half behind the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference standings but a loss to the Brooklyn Nets, combined with an Atlanta Hawks win over the Philadelphia 76ers, increased...
Rivalry Renewed: Preview of Celtics - Nets
The post season is right around the corner and the only thing standing between it and the Boston Celtics is a five game stretch.

Making a stand: Brooklyn Nets @ Boston Celtics preview
Like Matt Moore (better known as @HPBasketball) would say:
Gonna miss Celtics fans talking themselves into “Shavlik Randolph/Terrence Williams: Playoff X-Factor” while I’m gone.
I love being a delusional Celtics fan
While it looks like TWill is slowly falling out of the final rotation, Shavlik has made a tremendous impression on everyone so far with his quick feet and hustle...
Fans Can Vote for NBA Most Valuable Player on Twitter for First, Hopefully Last, Time Ever
In the realm of useless things, this idea might have just become the ultimate ruler.
For the first — and hopefully last — time ever, fans can vote for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award via Twitter. All they need to do is tweet the player’s first and last name with the hashtag #KiaMVP to make their voices heard.
This is absolutely destined for some hardcore Twitter trolling...
Your Morning Dump..Where The C’s Are Impressed By Shav’s Toughness
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.
Since Jared Sullinger went down for the season with a back injury, the C’s have struggled to find another “blue collar” guy. Wilcox simply has not had enough time on the floor, and Bass just does not fit that...
