The basketball Gods appear to hate the Boston Celtics. As if it’s not enough that both Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger are sidelined for the season, the Celtics will now be forced to go at least two weeks without Kevin Garnett. Per general manager Danny Ainge, the organization expects Garnett to be out of the [...]

The answer is no. The Boston Celtics have played their way well into the NBA’s playoff conversation and by doing so, they’ve opened the offseason floodgates, specifically with regard to Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley. Boston is 16-7 since Rondo went down and have, at the very least, feigned contention. Upon Rondo’s removal from the [...]

As MSG completes a $1 billion dollar renovation, it seems odd that only 1 NBA All-Star Game ever took place there (in 1998), while the New York Knicks have made 5 NBA Finals. Honorable Mention: Bernard King’s 60, Amar’e Stoudemire’s 41, Carmelo Anthony’s 41, Kyrie Irving’s 41, Jeremy Lin’s 38 [...]

According to Mark Murphy of The Boston Herald, Paul reportedly reached out to Kevin Garnett and asked him if he would join the Los Angeles Clippers, making it clear he could make it happen: According to several accounts, though, talk between Ainge and the Clippers continued right up until [...]

With the third-best record in the Western Conference (39-17), one would assume that the trade deadline would come to pass for Los Angeles without so much as a second-glance at the calendar. But one would be apparently be wrong. Not only have the Clippers been immersed in various [...]

Josh Smith and the Boston Celtics seem like the perfect match. After losing Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger and Leandro Barbosa for the season, Boston needs a star, or at the very least, a potent talent. And as the rift between Smith and the Atlanta Hawks continues to grow, it’s clear he needs a change of [...]

During a difficult season for the L.A. Lakers, the chanting Staples Center crowd has pleaded with Lakers management to, “Bring back Phil!” While I admire Jackson as a coach, probably as much as anyone, you don’t have to fly to Montana to figure out why he won’t come back to the Lakers, not this season.
