That's a wrap on the Doc era in Boston, unless all mighty Stern says no. Which I doubt he does. I'll have my thoughts later in the night.

Doc is back, and now it's time to get down to business. With another season as Celtics coach Doc will have some challenges. Either hill be without Pierce,or both Pierce and KG. Even with both players potentially back, he'll have many challenges ahead. Rondo and Sully will be back, and that will be a big boost obviously. But the challenge fo...

The Celtics appear to pick up Jordan for nothing, but I'm sure more will change around this deal, or other deals.

@daldridgetnt Wizards/Celts deal sending Jordan Crawford to Boston will not be for C Fab Melo, per source. Teams still working.

I will update this post with more info, as it comes through.

We didn't get to know Joesph, and Varnado. So it's not a hard pill to swallow, but good luck guys.

"I have no idea [if Rondo will play], I really don't," Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters in Oakland after Saturday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. "I didn't ask. I'll ask later tonight or tomorrow. But usually I kind of let [trainer] Eddie [Lacerte] tell me. I stay out of that whole thing."

The news came out earlier in the day that Wilcox will be out a month to deal with a thumb injury. Perhaps they signed Jarvis Varnado to provide help at the center position until Wilcox returns. I thought  he was signed for a 10-day contract. But it seems like he's Darko's replacement ins...

January second is around the corner, and the Celtics await the defensive pressure of Bradley. Avery must be pumped right now, and so our all of us. Again guys, give Bradley some time, and don't expect him to takeover right away.

As most of you know, Darko has signed with the Celtics. Most fans are throwing up at the thought of Darko in a Celtics uniform. Is it a bad deal? I don't think so, but he's not great by any means. He'll always be remembered for being a bust. At the end of the day, the Celtics need to compete against the Lakers, and being big as possible is the key...

It was a key signing for the Celtics this season. Dooling was a veteran that could keep Rondo in check. and he was a shoulder to lean on for Rondo. Dooling also had much game left in the tank.

"We'll miss Keyon's spirit and energy, both on and off the court," Celtics president of basketball operations ...
