At this point, I have mad respect for Brad Stevens.  What other coach would be at the same time humble enough, and secure enough, to go out of his way to travel to where his best player is at during the summer for a meet?  I suspect that no other coach would have done that.   I'm certain that Doc Rivers would never have done that.  I'm equally sure...

The Lakers are stuck I guess you could say. It's been reported they lost Howard because of Kobe's unwillingness to relinquish his role as the man. Both players are probably going to get criticism either way. The latest is Kobe won't take a pay cut. This is why I can't see a James o...

Rondo is wanted by everyone, and most of the teams out there see him as the final player to get them over the hump.Big time talent like Kobe, Melo want him. Why can't the media in Boston see it that way? I don't think Rondo's best possible t...

Some moments during the past 6 years you can remember everything about it. This game was an ulgy showing with the Celtics down 27. I remember I put my TV on mute, because I was tired of hearing about how bad the Celtics are. I was watching the game, but in complete silence. The Celtics season didn't start out as expected. They were 7-9 heading into that game, and they were without Rondo during that...

Who could forget when Bass was the ultimate steal from Ainge when the Celtics and Magic pulled off a sign-and-trade for Bass and Baby. I think that was move Howard wanted when he still ran the team in my Orlando. Bass's first season with the Celtics earned him a decent sized contract that inked him for three seasons worth more than 6 million each season,but near th...

I could never like them. I just try to t tolerate it.  Those arrogant people who think they are great like Bill Simmons. They build themselves up by putting others down,and you meet them on every street in every town.  The opinions of others...

Look at him up there. He's thinking of ways to take your money. Even in his final months as a corrupt leader.

The days of Jeff Green coming off the bench are probably over, as long as the Celtics are  building for the future he get the playing time. Jeff is a guy who many either really love, or they really could care less about. Jeff won me over last year. I liked his potential pri...

The free agent class next summer is weak, outside of James, Melo, Bosh, and Wade who are able to use their ETO to test the market. All four could very well waive that, and stick with their respective teams. The free agent class outside of those g...

Olynyk is the summer leagues Dirk. When it comes to the real games? We must show the kid some patience. Without question his offensive skill set has been lovely to see.His fall away jumper, his three, and his court vision has been on point.If we get this someday out of him, then Danny should be studied by modern science for time travel....

I'm really looking forward to see how Green and Rondo gel. As for Lee I wouldn't shed a tear if he was traded. He's not going to get any better, he's a solid guy off the bench, but for the money he's making. The Celtics need more out of him.

 

The Celtics 13th pick Kelly Olynyk continues to play some good ball in  the summer league. Olynyk scored a game-high 21 points on 9-of-19 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and four assists over 30 minutes. Some buzz here, and on som...

It's been striking to see that the Trade Rondo bandwagon is picking up steam again, after it stalled out for perhaps 24 hours, when Brad Stevens and Danny Ainge seemed to commit themselves to Rondo.  It's making me hate Celtics Fans.   Even those who supposedly like Rondo seem to be saying that we should 'give' Rondo six months or so to show that he's on board with the rebuild, and then, if he causes problems, boom - OUTATOWN.  

One expect this kind of meanspi...

Bird luckily retired as a Celtic. He never put on any other NBA uniform. Danny was able to make Pierce and KG happy by sending them to a team that has a chance to win now, and Doc also. Ainge in the process put the Celtics in a good spot for the future, and in the now. 

Bird th...

It's a solid pickup for the Lakers. I think their going for another run, but I think they have no chance with this roster.

Danny talked to Scal about the Celtics coaching spot before Stevens took over. It was also rumored that Scal was wanted by the Warriors, and it looks like they go their man. Brian was welcomed by head coach Mark Jackson.

It was great to see today that Rondo spoke out publicly through his agent to express his strong desire to stay with the Celtics and his enthusiasm for working with Stevens and being a leader for the team...

His agent Bill Duffy told CSNNE.com that his client has no plans of asking for a trade, adding that Rondo is looking forward to working with new C's coach Brad Stevens.
