Battie appeared in nearly half the games for the 76ers in the 2010-11 season and averaged about 10 minutes. While those aren't spectacular numbers, they are really valuable to a team that...

Memory Lane Monday: Tony Battie
The most important thing that Tony Battie has done in his basketball career (and perhaps his entire life, according to some Celtics fans) did not come on the basketball court. Nor will it ever show up on the stat sheet. It came at a nightclub in Boston on September 25, 2000. After fellow teammate (and one of the greatest Celtics players in franchise history) Paul Pierce was stabbed...

NBA Free Agency 2011: Big Men Who Could Be Targets of New York Knicks
Pestering defense and physical play from a big man is what the Knicks have lacked for years. The team needs someone who can fight for rebounds, get his hands up to block shots, and bump an opponent or two around if need be. Amar’e Stoudemire cannot do it alone, and as the team’s star player, shouldn’t be expected to take such a beating each and every night. Ronny Turiaf is...

The Orlando Magic Should Select Greg Smith With the 54th Pick
The Magic have no backup center for Dwight Howard, and short of just acquiring Tony Battie or Jeff Foster, or the like, they could work with another project big man in Greg Smith of Fresno State. One thing he doesn’t lack is a strong body. Smith stands 6’10″ and weighs 250, only 15 lbs less than Superman himself, Dwight Howard.
In many respects, it is clear...

Ballin’: Dwyane Wade Hit the Cabbage Patch & Blake Griffin Nearly Came to Blows with the 76ers

The incident went down in the 2nd quarter as Blake was likely about to add to his extensive highlight reel when he was fouled twice by two different 76ers.

Video: The Sixers give Blake Griffin an awful birthday present
It's bad enough to kick off your 22nd year on Earth by missing nine of 12 field goals and seven of 15 free throws to finish with a ghastly -23 line in a 104-94 loss to the visiting Philadelphia 76ers. But to nearly add injury to that insult, courtesy of a Jodie Meeks stiff-arm and a Tony Battie takedown on the break? Not the happiest of birthdays for Blake Griffin.

Boston Athlete of the Day: Tony Battie
Tony Battie was a member of the Boston Celtics from 1998-2003. During his last full season in Beantown, Battie averaged 7.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. It was undoubtedly his most productive campaign, but his most prominent moment as a Celtic came two years earlier, in a nightclub rather than an arena,
