Boston Celtics Chris Wilcox Is A Ball Of Energy
I have to admit that I am normally not exactly thrilled with any player that averages about four points and about four rebounds a game in about fourteen minutes a game. However, in the case of Chris Wilcox I have to admit I love the way he plays the game. Chris Wilcox plays the game hard and with energy at both ends of the floor.

Evans, Martin Giving Clippers Frontcourt Major Boost
In case you forgot, prior to the start of this lockout-abbreviated NBA season, the Los Angeles Clippers were in the news rather frequently.
First, they signed former All-Star swingman Caron Butler to a three-year, $24 million deal.

And, to top things...

Should Mickael Pietrus start over Ray Allen?
So, I listened to Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls game mostly on WEEI yesterday and Cedric Maxwell and Sean Grande were talking about the possibility of Mickael Pietrus replacing Ray Allen as a starter.

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...
