Why Jeff Green should start…

Jeff Green has started one game this year…he racked up 31 pts, 4 asts, 7 rebs, 5 blks, and 2 stls. The Celtics won handily at Phoenix 113-88. Since his lone start, Green is averaging 8.5 pts a game.  Green clearly does not like being a bench player, scratch that, Green doesn’t like not having a role [...]

HE’S BACK!!!

Of all the players that I believe will make the greatest impact on the success of this 2012-13 Celtics team, it’s got to be Jeff Green. I know it’s still early, and it’s a long 80+ game season ahead. But, I have been more than impressed with his overall effort on the court. And he seems [...]

Rondo’s Suspension Not A Surprise

Rajon Rondo, as expected, has received a one game suspension for chest-bumping referee Marc Davis and will unfortunately miss Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series against the Atlanta Hawks.

He’s nowhere near as good as Jeff Green, but I have appreciated his services and positive mindset all year while giving solid minutes. [...]

Celtics Trade Rumors and Speculation

Celtics Trade Rumors and Speculation

1 more week. 1 more week. 1 more week. Thankfully, we will only have to suffer through trade rumors and speculation for only one more week with the trade deadline on March 15th. The Celtics are prepared to entertain offers for Paul Pierce, whose subtraction from the Boston core would be the most advantageous to the post-Big Three [...]

Season-Defining Road Trips Approach

Big Four

The upcoming road trips will most definitely be the toughest test the Celtics will face this regular season. After a home matchup versus the ailing Detroit Pistons on Wednesday (the 15th), they embark on a five game road trip visiting the Bulls, Pistons, Mavericks, Thunder, and Cavaliers. The Thunder and Cavaliers matchup will, however, be [...]

No Doubt About It: Paul Pierce Should Be an All Star

Chicago Bulls at Boston Celtics

For once his courage and fightback has been noticed, even if burying Larry Bird’s number two spot on the Celtics all-time scoring list finally got people to stop and listen. The idea of a 34-year old competing in this year’s All Star Game may seem a little repetitive, but even if Paul Pierce pinches the [...]
