Rumor: Celtics still pursuing Kaman
Twitter / @hornets247: 24 hours to go until trade ... via kwout
A first round pick and what, is the question.
Kaman makes $14 million dollars and his contract is expiring after this year. So sending back a bunch of bad expiring deals (O'Neal, Quis, Wilcox if he can't play) means nothing to New Orleans. They want draft picks... and the question...
Mike D'Antoni is out as Knicks coach
Woj has the details:
D’Antoni and Knicks owner James Dolan agreed on Wednesday to end his three-plus-years run as Knicks coach, a source said. “It was a mutual decision to no longer coach the Knicks … conflicting visions of the club’s future,” the source said.
[...] “Dolan is blaming the coach,” said a source with knowledge of the Knicks’ locker-room...

Celtics take their Dunking Talents to Lob City
The LA Clippers are one of the most entertaining teams in the NBA and for good reason. They dunk. A lot. Chris Paul tosses a ton of alley-oops to Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan and it's amazing to watch. Well the OG Celtics had a few nice dunks of their own at Lob City. Check out the video below for some nice dunks including: Avery Bradley's slashing one-hander...
Report: Carmelo Anthony wants out of NY
Marc Berman of the NY Post has the not-so-shocking details:
Carmelo Anthony’s discontent with the Knicks organization became so severe after Monday night’s loss to the Bulls, he told a confidant he preferred to be traded before Thursday’s NBA deadline, The Post has learned.
According to a person familiar with his thinking, Anthony’s disillusionment stems most from a...
Your Morning Dump... Where Pierce doesn't have Steve Nash-like control
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.
But when I asked Pierce if he wanted to end his career as a Celtic, there wasn't much passion in his response. It's probably a cautionary reflex that comes with being in the NBA long enough to see every...

Rajon Rondo talked to Bill Belichick about playing for the Pats
Or at least, so he says. Rondo's been known to mess with people before.
"I was actually serious, I talked to coach Belichick about that but I had a contract already with the Celtics so it didn't work out," Rondo told ABC.
Rondo WAS at a Patriots practice throwing the football around this past summer. And frankly, even if he is messing with the media...
Video: Danny tells kids he wouldn't consider Rondo for Gasol
Great find by Gary Dzen of the Globe from iFollowsports.com
The guy can't escape the questions anywhere. That's a great video.
Enemy Chatter: Doc Rivers out coached Del Negro
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.
Who says coaches don’t matter? Doc Rivers thoroughly outcoached Vinny Del Negro in this one by going to a stable of simple yet effective plays to create the mismatches the Clippers’ defense...
Dwight Howard needs a reality check
The latest reports about Orlando Magic big man Dwight Howard have me sick to my stomach. First, ESPN's Ric Bucher says Howard has CEO like control of the Magic organization:
One source close to the situation told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher that the Magic have promised Howard that they will add a quality player before Thursday's deadline and that Howard can decide...
Clippers, Knicks should make us appreciate 2008 that much more
It was June of 2007. The Celtics were a 24-58 team that had just tanked its way to second worst record in the NBA in a draft where the top two picks were almost certain locks as rebuilding centerpieces.
The tanking was an absolute disaster, yet it was the best thing that happened to the Celtics. They avoided getting Greg Oden, who we now know has a body that simply refuses...
Your Morning Dump... The Celtics love no-fun wins
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.
That difference is what it came down to Monday night at Staples Center — the Celtics stayed close by turning it into their kind of game. Meaning chippy and slow. Then when the game was close in the final four...
Celtics beat LA!! (work with me here)
This one looked like a classic 2011-2012 Celtics game.... come out big, suck in the 2nd, show some signs of life, blow it in the last 5 minutes.
But instead of following the script in the last 5 minutes, the Celtics went on a 20-7 run.
Let's make this quick cuz I'm tired...
Paul Pierce led the way with 25. He had it working early and...

Enemy Chatter: Andrew Bynum stole the Celtics' heart
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.
Bynum dominated again at times against the Celtics, repeatedly making Kevin Garnett look every minute of 35 years old.
He finished with 20 points and 14 rebounds. He played nearly 41 minutes...
Schwan: Danny only has one option at the trade deadline
Danny Ainge has one option as the trade deadline is only three days away. He must hold onto the Big 4, and it’s not because these guys will lead the Celtics to an NBA championship. Ainge has made several mistakes that leave him no choice but to finish out the season with the Big 3 plus Rondo. Signing Paul Pierce to a four year, $61 million dollar contract in the Summer of 2010...
Report: Celtics & Lakers talked Rondo trade last week
Mike Bresnahan of the LA Times has the story:
The teams talked last week about a trade for Celtics guard Rajon Rondo, though nothing was close to accomplished and discussions dried up.The Lakers are unwilling to trade Pau Gasol for Rondo, making a deal with Boston unlikely before the trade deadline Thursday."Unless they give up Gasol, they're not going to get a top...
Your Morning Dump... The Celtics didn't make shots
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.
Yet when it counted, nobody could produce. Allen missed a 3-pointer and a jumper. Kevin Garnett missed an open jumper. Brandon Bass missed one of his customary midrange jumpers after hitting seven of his previous...
C's lose another tough one to their L.A. rivals
Just got back from the big Red'sArmy party which was fantastic-despite watching the C's fall to the Lakers 97-94 at Staples Center today. The Celtics were ice-cold and just could not get things going in the 1st quarter. Things starting looking better towards the end of the 1st half though, and behind a couple of Brandon Bass jumpers, some good defense and a Rondo buzzer-beating...

Your Morning Dump... where we've seen this movie before
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.
You can't help but wonder if Boston will need to make a move at the back end of its roster this week to at least free a roster spot. If Marquis Daniels is struggling to get on the floor, you can'...
Breaking: Chris Wilcox out indefinitely with heart issue
CSNNE's A. Sherrod Blakely reports that the Celtics' Chris Wilcox is out "indefinitely":
"Chris Wilcox is out indefinitely after the results from routine cardiac tests showed a need for additional tests to be performed."
This news comes roughly 3 months after Jeff Green learned that he had an aortic aneurysm. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris...
