Ainge says Kevin Garnett doesn't need surgery on his ankle
If Kevin Garnett plays next season, it looks like he will be doing it bone spurs and all.
According to the Boston Herald, Danny Ainge says Garnett will simply "rest" his left foot and ankle and will not undergo surgery.
I think there was some question whether he was going to have surgery on his foot,” said Ainge. “but the last I heard, which was a few days ago, is...
Projected top pick Nerlens Noel interviews with Celtics
Bring back the NBA Territorial Draft!
If you thought the Celtics interviewing Cody Zeller was interesting, considering he should be off the draft board by the time the Celtics pick at #16, how about the report that projected #1 pick and Boston native Nerlens Noel has interviewed with the Celtics?
The former Kentucky freshman did measure 6-10 in socks and 6-11 1/2 in shoes with...
Brandon Bass Looking to Improve this Summer
It was a strange season for Brandon Bass. Most of us expected the power forward to build on last season's success, but he actually took a big step back to start the year. While Jared Sullinger thrived as a rookie, Bass didn't seem to have a clear-cut role and was too often a non-factor. However, #30 came on strong for the stretch run to remind us why Ainge dished out a 3...
Karl on the Kayak Episode 7- Featuring Dan the Camera Man
Dan the Camera Man has his most air time yet! We discuss if I'd give up Law and Order SVU for a date with Molly McGrath, Lebron to the Celtics, how much I hate heavy metal, whether I'd rather be lost at sea or in space, a battle royale with Dan and the Captain Kirk's from Star Trek, and more, with our friends the Potomac River and the planes from Reagan National airport...
Breaking down Danny Ainge's five biggest mistakes of the "Big Three" era
As crazy as it may seem, Danny Ainge just completed his 10th season running the Celtics. He took over the team as they were getting swept in the 2003 playoffs by the Nets, and immediately made his mark that summer, trading all-star Antoine Walker for banged up big man Raef LaFrentz. Not exactly starting off with a bang.
The next four years were bizarre. Slowly but surely Ainge...
Doc definitely coming back
Yesterday the Boston Globe's Gary Washburn sent out a somewhat ambiguous tweet claiming that Doc Rivers would return to the Celtics next year. CSNNE's A. Sherrod Blakely reports this to be true, stating:
A league source confirmed an earlier report by the Boston Globe that Rivers would in fact return to the sidelines for the Celtics next season.

Maloofs sell Kings to Sacramento group in record deal
ESPN:
Just a day after NBA owners officially rejected a bid to relocate the Sacramento Kings to Seattle, the team's owners have agreed to sell the Kings to a Sacramento-based group, sources told ESPN.com.
Software billionaire Vivek Ranadive came to an agreement to purchase 65 percent of the Kings from the Maloof family for approximately $348 million, sources said. The Kings...

Celtics Assistant GM turns down Philly GM position
1 of these guys is still the Celtics assistant GM
Last Summer we mentioned that the Philadelphia 76ers were after Celtics Assistant GM Mike Zarren and apparently they were again recently. Zarren surprisingly turned them down.
Celtic assistant general manager and team counsel Mike Zarren turned down an offer to become the GM of the 76ers, two league sources told the Herald today...
Indiana's Zeller has reportedly interviewed with the Celtics
Looks like the Celtics are looking for bigs.
According to Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix, Indiana's Cody Zeller has interviewed with the Celtics.
Most mock drafts have Zeller projected as a top-10 pick, so the odds of the Celtics snagging up the seven-footer are slim unless they trade up or he really bombs in workouts.
While Boston may not be able to draft Zeller, it...
Kendrick Perkins Delivers the Worst Playoff PER in NBA History
Say what you want about John Hollinger's player efficiency rating. While it might not be the holy grail of advanced statistics, it's generally a good indicator of production. And when a player manages to have a negative rating over an entire postseason, you can be absolutely certain that he was horrible.
Kendrick Perkins had a PER of -0.7 in 11 playoff games for the Thunder...
Report: Doc Rivers returning to the Celtics next season
From Gary Washburn's twitter,
Danny Ainge confirms that Doc Rivers is returning next season as #celtics coach. "We've got a coach everybody would love to have."

I'll be perfectly honest, nothing in Ainge's quote that Washburn selected screams, "Doc is coming back", but the rest of his tweet, and...

JR Smith's ineptitude since elbowing Jason Terry has spawned it's own twitter account
Jason Kidd hasn't scored a point in 8 games (since Game 2 vs Boston), but another Knick may being going through an even bigger slump. After JR Smith's flagrant foul got him suspended for Game 4 of the Celtics series (a game Smith claimed New York would have won if he'd played), he has yet to shoot even 40% from the field in a single game. Smith is a combined 26-91...
DID I DO THAT?
Tony Allen gets technical for tossing shirt
During the third quarter of tonight's game 5 match-up between the Grizzlies and the Thunder, former Celtic Tony Allen accidentally flung a blue warm-up jersey from the sidelines while OKC's Derek Fisher launched a corner shot. The basket didn't go in, but the officials counted it and penalized Allen with a technical foul. The chain of events was part of a 15-4 Thunder...
Jared Sullinger's recovery motivated by Simba from 'The Lion King'
CSNNE's Jessica Camerato wrote a piece yesterday about Jared Sullinger's recovery from back surgery. Sullinger's progress is on schedule, and he is expected to be ready for training camp next season. He's actively rehabbing now, but it sounds like the past few months were pretty difficult for the rookie, who's 21st birthday came shortly after being operated...
Danny Ainge's history of drafting defensive studs, and who the Celtics may draft this year
In recent years, the Celtics have had their finger prints all over the All-Defensive team. Of course a lot of that has been courtesy of Kevin Garnett, who has been either first or second team defense in four of his six seasons with Boston.
But a lot of the selections have come from guards drafted during Danny Ainge's tenure. Rajon Rondo (a 2006 Ainge draft selection) has been...
Afternoon Delight: The New Face of Derelict
So the new face of Mugatu's Derelict line has been announced and it's no surprise that the chosen one is none other than Wadelander himself. I think what clinched the job for DWade was the floral ensemble he fashioned at the podium following Game 3 of the Heat's second round series against the Bulls. That exhibition helped DWade beat out teammate LeBron, Russell Westbrook...
Video: Boston Celtics 2012-2013 Bloopers and Funny Moments
I was hard pressed to find a lot of funny moments for the Boston Celtics' blooper reel this season without our past team clowns like Big Baby, Nate Robinson, Shaq, and Mickael Pietrus. But there were a fair share of silly moments that included both Celtics newcomers and vets.
This year's video includes appearances from NBA vets like Paul Pierce nearly losing his shorts while...

Video: Celtics honor Avery Bradley on making NBA All-Defensive 2nd Team
Pretty impressive to miss 40% of the season, but still make NBA All-Defensive 2nd Team. This video courtesy of the Boston Celtics is the first one sans Molly McGrath, so it was rather bittersweet.

Boston's record 2002 comeback over the Nets
By Cort Reynolds
The Boston Bruins' four-goal comeback in the third period and overtime of game seven in their first round NHL playoff series vs. Toronto conjured up notions of great Celtic rallies past.
As far as series go, the Celtics pulled off classic 1-3 comebacks to beat the rival 76ers in the eastern finals in 1968 and 1981, with Boston going on to grab the championship...
Report: Paul Pierce believes he has played his final game with the Celtics
"It's not goodbye, it's see you later"
- Denzel Washington, John Q
After 15 years of giving everything to the Boston Celtics, Paul Pierce expects the team to part ways with him this off-season.
Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo! Sports wrote this article, which quoted CSNNE's Greg Dickerson on what people around Pierce are saying.

It''s gotten to the point Dwyane Wade needs to be called out every time he dresses
If you thought his jacket (that Shaq said warranted a Maury Povich paternity test show to see if Craig Sager was indeed Wade's father) was bad, check out last night's attire. Russell Westbrook it's time to concede the championship. No one can dress like Mr. Pink Pants himself Dwyane Wade.
