Enemy Chatter: Your grandfather's Celtics with 33-7 margin in fast breaks

I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Chicago. Rondo generally does not play well against Rose, trying vainly to stop Rose and so caught up in that he wanders around fairly aimlessly and ineffectively. But with Rose out, Rondo jumped all over...

VIDEO: Rajon Rondo's Triple Double vs Chicago Bulls

On Friday night Rajon Rondo dropped quite the stink bomb on the city of Toronto.  He looked listless at times and entered rage mode on one of the officials, drawing a technical foul.  Boston fans were (and amazingly some still are) a bit over-critical following the disgusting loss.  Clearly this would mean that Rondo would just sulk against the Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls...

Your Morning Dump... Where #9 was edgy

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. "Nine [Rondo] was edgy today, man. I loved it," Garnett said. "I love the fact that he came out and he set the tone. And I thought he got guys involved and he was all over the place. When we win...

Rondo's huge triple double powers C's past Chicago

Rajon Rondo answered the recent hate for him with a huge performance, dropping 32 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds en route to a 95-91 win over Chicago.  The Celtics looked to be cruising to a double digit win when the Bulls made a run and cut the game down to two.  But Rondo's 9th rebound off a long Chicago miss that could have tied the game led to two free throws to push...

Schwan: NBA stands for No Box-out Association

By Henry Schwan When was the last time you saw anyone in the NBA box someone out for a rebound? Boxing out at the highest level of professional basketball is as extinct as the Woolly Mammoth. Case in point, the Celtics Thursday night loss to the Lakers. In fourth quarter crunch time, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum played volleyball above the rim while the Celtics stood around and watched...

Your Morning Dump... Is Rondo sulking over an All-Star omission?

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. There were times early in the Big Three era when the Celtics appeared to begin games ahead, 10-0, because the opponents were so intimidated. Rondo would grab the opening tip and take command of the game. He...

Why is everyone so pissed off at Rajon Rondo?

Here are some of the comments our readers directed at Rajon Rondo following his lifeless, 5 point (2-10 FG), 7 assist, 5 turnover performance last night vs Toronto: Alex: I'm telling you right now... Rondo is the weakest link. That kid is painful to watch. His lack of effort surprises me and you would think he'd have a chip on his shoulder for not making the All-Star team...

Taking Stock: Celtics - Raptors

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value. Starters I'm not going to bother going through them all individually.  I'm sorry KG gets swept in this because he had a decent game.. but even he needed to do more.  If you're the only guy hitting them, then you need to be the guy taking them...

Recap: I nailed the Celtics effort tonight

If you want to know what went wrong with the Celtics in Toronto, just read my preview. It was spot-on, minus the score. The highlight of the game was Doc Rivers outburst during a 20-second time-out. Doc walked onto the court and blasted his players. The above screen-grab (courtesy Chris Forsberg) is a timid snapshot of Doc's tirade. The Celtics sucked. Flat. Out. Sucked. Box score

Taking Stock: Celtics - Lakers

After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value.

Refs missed Rondo calling time out on last play of regulation

So I was watching the last play of the game to see what happened and whether the Celtic could have gotten a better shot.  What I saw, though, was something that the referees missed and it should have given the Celtics a chance at a better look to end the game.  With 2.4 seconds left, Rajon Rondo sees Paul Pierce is in trouble.  He immediately begins signaling for a time out...

Video: KG long-snaps the ball to Rondo off the tip

  Ummmm... ok. No clue why the Celtics do this now.  KG and Rondo must have a "thing" together when it comes to this.  I suppose it's fine so long as KG doesn't blow the snap and send it into the other team's basket.  God help us all if something bad happens off this little move.

Enemy Chatter: KG was repeatedly allowed to miss shots

I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Los Angeles. The Lakers survived because the Celtics couldn't take advantage of another weak offensive output. Ray Allen hit some shots early, and one big three late, but Paul Pierce could only manage...

Recap: Celts loss the cherry on a crap sundae of a game

The quality of basketball wasn't quite at the level of 2008 or 2010 (or my kids youth league), but the drama was vintage Celtics vs Lakers. In the end, the Lakers were a smidge less awful than the Celtics. The result - an 88-87 LA victory in overtime. In a game officiated to their benefit (rough), the Celtics took only 5 free throws. None of those FTs came in the second half...

Paul Pierce IS an All Star

Twitter / @WojYahooNBA: Paul Pierce has been chose ... via kwout Dammit.  I wanted him to get some rest, but he has earned the honor.   This is Paul Pierce's 10th All Star selection.  Since 2002, the only year in which he wasn't an All Star was 2007.  I can't wait to hear Boston sports talk radio continue debating whether Pierce truly belongs as one of the...

GREAT NEWS!! Rajon Rondo won't be an All Star!!

Twitter / @SpearsNBAYahoo: Celtics guard Rajon Rondo ... via kwout Yes!  Sit back and rest, Rajon.  Take some time off.  Fly to the Bahamas for a couple of days.  Get plenty of sleep.  Maybe some deep tissue massage.   In all honesty, Rondo's injury derailed the All Star train anyway.  He missed too much time to really be a legitimate contender for a spot.  Now...

Kevin Garnett is like Eastwood in Gran Torino

In a blogtable on NBA.com, our beloved Kevin Garnett was repeatedly tabbed as the league's orniest player: Steve Aschburner: Normally I like to answer right up front and expound after, given these short-attention-span times. But … really? One graf to nominate and persuade on this loaded question? This could be a whole column. Or a series. Here’s the best I can do in the...

Why Larry Bird was a better scorer than Paul Pierce

Who is the better scorer, Larry Bird or Paul Pierce? There's been a big push lately to give that nod to Paul Pierce. Not just for passing Bird as the Celtics #2 all-time scorer, but for his versatility. The Truth has a great mid-range game (hello, right elbow jumper). He can shoot the three ball. He can also attack the basket and get to the rim.  Larry Bird was a phenomenal...
