Boston Celtics

By ManchvegasBob You don’t even need green spectacles to see the fortune that will be awaiting the Celtics as long as Rajon Rondo is our point guard.  And if he retains the oddball elite skills he currently possesses, and never becomes a scorer with 3-point range, that may be fine too, at least on this Celtics...

We respond to the ESPN article on the Eastern Conference projections that put the Celtics at the top, but as Redsarmy.com noted, served up a potential breakdown factor for Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. ESPN projected the Celtics No. 1 of coarse, but cautioned: BACK TO OUR CELTICS

By ManchvegasBob So what’s it going to be with this surrogate lottery pick for the Celtics? The second coming of “El Busto” or another “Rags to Riches” story. At the least, I think we can have some confidence that POB will increase his value as one of Danny Ainge’s potential trading chips, as we’ve even seen Ge...

Did I hear this right? The U.S. Olympic basketball team is calling itself the Redeem Team? Please. No. The best individual players in the world still live here. So does the best team. It’s called the Celtics. Kevin Scarbinsky – COULD THE CELTICS REPRESENT THE USA? WHERE ARE THE CELTICS?

The +/- stat shows that from top to bottom too for the Celtics 9-man rotation. Brian Scalabrine, Edd...

By ManchvegasBob By flanking Paul Pierce with Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, Danny Ainge has made the Celtics relevant again After making a splash by adding Garnett, Ainge didn’t just save his job and maybe even that of head coach Doc Rivers, he made the Celtics relevant again.

By tenaciousT Neither Perkins nor Rondo can shoot very well. Will every game be a 5 on 3 game? For sure, none of the three will be mistaken for Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, or Michael Jordan in the leadership category. Great players - yes. Inspirational - no.
