Ray Allen's graceful entrance into the next chapter of his career
I wrote a little bit about Ray Allen's next chapter for Crossover Chronicles today. His demeanor in this entire move to the bench struck me. Here's how my piece started:
For nearly 16 full NBA seasons, Ray Allen has glided across lacquered hardwood with a gracefulness that belies the true physical toll the sport inflicts on ones body. In his youth, when he still...

Your Morning Dump... Mickael Pietrus is working out
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.
Mickael Pietrus underwent a basketball workout at the Celtics’ practice facility and suffered no setbacks on his road back from the concussion he suffered two and a half weeks ago.
Pietrus passed the...

Video: Pierce & KG dance along with Gino
The Gino dance is everyone's favorite part of a Celtics blowout win at home. But no one... NO ONE... loves it like Kevin Garnett. I wish I loved anything like KG loves that video. It seems like that video is like a hypnotist snapping his fingers and waking someone out of their sleep. KG goes from "deranged lunatic" to "kid laughing at the circus"...
Taking Stock: Celtics - Sixers
After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value.
Starters
Rajon Rondo: Another 15 assists. And yes, he sometimes gets a little too casual out there. I'll take the bad with the good as this guy continues to set up his teammates. His assists led to 32 points, and he added another 7. So he accounted...
Enemy Chatter: Avery Bradley is a beautiful man
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 Philadelphia.
So tanking seems to be in full force. The game was over by halftime, and the most hilarious part of it all is that it was the defense that came up short. Open looks were as prevalent as LOST...
Red's Army Rewind: Doc and Danny in a Reebok commercial
I was looking for something completely unrelated the other day when I found this gem of a video... Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge appearing in a Reebok pump commercial... along side Dominique Wilkins and Byron Scott.
The ending is great... with Doc saying "some people like BMW's, I like gym shoes."
Yeah, they used to be called gym shoes...
Your Morning Dump... Where people are starting to take notice
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.
And now? Your Boston Celtics have cemented their hold as the leaders in the Atlantic Division with a thorough dismantling of the fading Philadelphia 76ers on Easter Sunday. If the Celtics close out their regular...
Recap: Celtics pat 76ers on the head, put them to bed
Some might say it's a tad too early to write off the 76ers, but I'm gonna do it. The Celtics stomped all over the defenseless 76ers tonight, 103-79, and increased their lead in the Atlantic Division to 3 games.
Like me in a crowd of single ladies, the Celtics couldn't miss. Boston shot 58% from the field and 46% from 3. Straight money.
The Celtics continue to dominate...

Celtics vs Pacers GreenLights
The Celtics had a day off to simmer and stew under the boiling heat of Doc's post-game comments following the loss to the Bulls in Chicago. No, Doc didn't say the C's were exactly hot but rather the exact opposite. Calling his team the "cool Celtics," he let them have it. What transpired last night in Indiana was an inspiring wire-to-wire effort that resulted...
Your Morning Dump... Where Ray Allen finished strong
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.
Two games in, Ray Allen’s transformation into a sixth man has borne fruit.
The guard, who for only the sixth time in his career came off the bench last night, broke the Celtics [team stats]’ 86...
Recap: Celtics survive in Indiana
The Celtics apparently responded to Doc River's tirade by coming out strong and building a 24-19 first quarter lead, and extending that to 43-33 at the half. The lead, amazingly, was built on 28 bench points courtesy of 10 points each from Greg Stiemsma and Ray Allen and 8 from Sasha Pavlovic.
The second half was an ugly, disjointed, most poorly officiated mess of a half...
Your Morning Dump... Where Ray Allen is the ultimate professional
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.
“The way it’s been, that first six or seven minutes I’m kind of floating a little bit, and that’s how I’ve been for the last few months,” said Allen. “The second unit gives me the ability to...
How the Lakers Became "Showtime" by Emulating the Celtics
Throughout the early part of the Celtics history, Bill Sharman was Bob Cousy's running mate in the back court. He was an exceptional shooter, especially from the free throw line. One of his assets was being able to run with Cousy in Red Auerbach's newly created "Fast-Break" style of basketball. In the early years of the NBA, there wasn't much running until...
RedsArmy presents: Fan Friday #28 "Live Green or Die"
I thought "Live Green or Die" was the most fitting title for this week's fan. Mainly because of her die-hard worship of the Boston Celtics, but also due to her currently residing in New Hampshire. I actually met Kim through RedsArmy.com-she's been a friend of our site's founders for a while now. Kim has been a season-ticket holder for a couple of years and very...
Taking Stock: Celtics - Bulls
After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value.
Starters
Rajon Rondo: Sometimes, when it's obvious some guys are off, Rondo has to take it upon himself to start taking over and getting more aggressive. Even if he takes it to the hole a few straight trips... even if he takes free throws and misses...
Enemy Chatter: The Celtics lost their legs
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.
There's a basketball axiom that you use your energy on defense and rest on offense, but the five offensive rebounds in the third quarter were elongating so many possessions that Boston couldn...
Your Morning Dump... Doc rips the team for its crappy effort
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.
"I had to use two timeouts in the first half to remind us that we actually had an NBA game to play and that we needed to play," a ruffled Rivers told reporters in Chicago. "I thought that was...
Recap: Celtics run out of gas, lose to Bulls
In the first half of this game, the Celtics were doing just about everything right. They went into the break with a 49-38 lead. Their defense was doing its job, they were even in the rebounding column, and the Celtics were controlling the tempo of the game.
Then the Bulls stormed out of the locker room and ripped off a 29-17 quarter that saw the C's fall back into their...
Derrick Rose afraid to return vs Rondo, Bradley
I knew Derrick Rose wasn't going to play tonight. Why return against pitbulls like Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley when you can rest a few more days and play against Baron Davis and Mike Bibby?

Derrick Rose a game-time decision
Via the Chicago Tribune:
The Derrick Rose injury watch is nearing its end. Rose participated in the entire Chicago Bulls' morning shootaround and said he will test his recovering groin before Thursday night's late tipoff against the Boston Celtics.Rose said if he doesn't play against the Celtics, he will "for sure" play in Sunday's matinee against...
Taking Stock: Celtics - Spurs
After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value.
Starters
Rajon Rondo: 17 points, 11 assists and 4 steals. No one else in this game got more than 5 assists. My knock on Rondo last night, though, was the jumper he took with the Spurs up 1 with 5:09 left. He seemed to get too caught up in the moment....
