http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/4780 Recent articles about Shelden Williams en-us DeJuan Blair was killing the Celtics last night.  He was pounding the
 boards, he was scoring down low, he was hustling and keeping balls
 alive... and the Celtics didn't seem to have an answer.  Meanwhile, Shelden Williams sat on the bench.  And he stayed there. Shelden
 left San Antonio with a big DNP-Coaches Decision next to his name in
 the stat sheet.  In a game where the C's were getting dominated on the
 boards, a big man whose only real job is getting ...

No, the team probably isn't going to outpace all comers out West, or sturdy itself as a clear number two in back of the Lakers, but it will continue to improve. It will pile up the wins, and it will be ready to pounce should anything happen to go against script next spring. Boston? They just want t...

For one thing, the Celtics were clicking on all cylinders and it's fun to watch when they play like that. KG looks better with every game. Shelden Williams is settling into his role very nicely as is Marquis Daniels. Hearing Paul Pierce before the game saying that a lot of the credit for the Celtics' play goes to Perk because he is the backbone along with Kevin really was great to hear.

His Cavaliers are getting embarrassed by an undermanned Celtics team. The Celtics lead this one 56-48 at the half, minus Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Glen Davis.

Shel is getting a big kick out of it.

Either he was coloring his hair and decided to go natural, or this off season has really aged him. As has been noted, Big Baby signed a contract for 2 years at around $3 million per year.
