Boston Celtics

Jordan Crawford may not be enough for the Warriors. Just a day after completing a three-team trade with the Celtics and Heat that landed the Dubs MarShon Brooks and Crawford, we catch word they might not be done. The thinking there was Crawford, who is averaging a career-high 5.7 assists per game, would hopefully solve [...]

That stench wafting through your home and into your oversized nostrils is coming from the NBA. Although it’s difficult to pinpoint what it actually is, we’re above confusion: it’s clarity. We’ve reached that point of the year where the Association’s happenings finally make more sense than whatever outfit Robin Thicke is wearing these days. Injuries and [...]

Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has maintained all along he will not be trading Rajon Rondo. He was lying. Probably. Maybe. According to ESPN’s Chad Ford, the Celtics are expected to shop the All-Star point guard once he’s healthy: All three of the teams ahead of them have at least one young player they [...]

One of the biggest surprises of the season has been the top-seeded Portland Trailblazers. We even shone some light on them in our weekly THD Video series. 7-year veteran LaMarcus Aldridge has expanded his game, and, as a result, he’s enjoying his best professional season. His running mate and partner in crime is 2nd year [...]

Prepare yourselves for the most unconventional of NBA compliments. Following the Indiana Pacers’ 106-79 romping of the Boston Celtics, Roy Hibbert told CSNNE’s Abby Chin that Jared Sullinger could be “the Kevin Love of the East.” Quite the form of praise, wouldn’t you say? Sullinger is in his second season with the Celtics and is [...]

Addition by subtraction. Depletion by addition. That’s been the NBA’s prevailing theme this season. So many teams aren’t where they’re supposed to be. And I mean so many. Can anyone explain the Phoenix Suns, lottery-dwellers of 2012-13? Though they added Eric Bledsoe, they traded away Marcin Gortat and Jared Dudley. Now they’re among the Western [...]

The Sacramento Kings don’t understand no means no. Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has repeatedly said that All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo isn’t up for grabs. That the Celtics plan to build around him. That he’s their future. True story. “I want to make sure Rondo comes back healthy,” Ainge told CBS Boston in [...]

Doc Rivers isn’t Ray Allen. Believe me, that’s an important distinction these days. Allen was the rat bastard traitor who left the Boston Celtics high and dry in 2012, spurning them for the Miami Heat and the opportunity to win a title. Rivers, who orchestrated his departure from Boston, is almost perfect. Or so says [...]

Rajon Rondo doesn’t know how to fix the New York Knicks. Then again, who does? Speaking with reporters, Rondo was asked about the recent rumor that Carmelo Anthony was recruiting him to join the Knicks in 2015, when he’ll become an unrestricted free agent. Rondo’s former high school coach at Oak Hill Academy, Steve Smith, [...]

And you thought the Boston Celtics were tanking. Don’t worry, you’re not alone; I thought so, too. Matter of fact, I still think so. They’re 8-12, probably to the dismay of general manager Danny Ainge. He likely figured them for a win or two by this point. Not eight. And there was no way in [...]
