Boston Celtics

Move over Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett is about to take center stage at the NBA trade rumor mill extravaganza. Speculation has swirled over whether or not the Boston Celtics would ultimately deal Garnett, and thus blow up their financially cumbersome roster. As one of only four players with a no-trade clause in the Association, though, [...]

Kevin Garnett may have just changed everything for the Boston Celtics. And when I say “everything,” I mean everything. Rajon Rondo’s torn ACL forces Boston to look at their assembly through a whole different lens. Suddenly, they’re not a veteran team led by a youthfully exuberant point guard. Instead, they’re just old. As such, no [...]

The Boston Celtics are undefeated since losing Rajon Rondo, which does anything but speak volumes about the point guard’s value to the team. Without Rondo, the Celtics are 4-0 and have snagged victories over the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers, two authentic contenders. Naturally, after such immense, albeit brief, success, the narrative in Boston [...]

After learning that Celtic rookie Jared Sullinger wasn’t selected to participate in the NBA’s Rising Stars competition, Kevin Garnett was none to pleased. “Really? I’m actually shocked.”, Garnett responded upon first hearing the news. Frankly, he should be shocked. “Sully”, as 2012’s 21st overall pick is fondly called, is having a solid first year for [...]

Let me take this opportunity to welcome you inside one month of the NBA’s trade deadline, where the visibly absurd threatens to become truth. Speaking of the visibly absurd, the Atlanta Hawks have never appeared more likely to deal Josh Smith than they do now. And no, that’s not the insane part. What’s crazy is [...]

Kevin Garnett isn’t going anywhere. The Boston Celtics reached a proverbial crossroad when they lost Rajon Rondo to a torn ACL for the rest of the season (and beyond?). Given what his playmaking abilities meant to this team, there are few things that the Celtics wouldn’t consider doing to instill some sort of change. Dealing [...]

And finally, it’s over. After years—literally, years—of speculation, the Memphis Grizzlies finally traded Rudy Gay. According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the Grizzlies agreed to send Gay to the Toronto Raptors in a three-team deal that lands them Ed Davis from Toronto and Tayshaun Prince from the Detroit Pistons: The Grizzlies, Raptors and Pistons agreed [...]

Rajon Rondo’s torn ACL comes as a crushing blow to the Boston Celtics, but it stands to inject life into the Philadelphia 76ers. Per Doris Burke of ESPN (via Mike Petraglia of WEEI.com), the point guard has officially torn his ACL and will be shut down for the season. Rondo has a torn ACL.. per [...]

Doc Rivers isn’t happy with the Boston Celtics, and we can’t really blame him. After losing four straight games, the Celtics went on a six game winning streak, one that included four victories over playoff hopefuls. Since then, Boston has dropped another three in a row, two of which have come against an Eric Gordon-less [...]

Tyson Chandler, not Kevin Garnett should be starting for the Eastern Conference in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game. Case closed. In what was a completely expected snub, Garnett was named as an All-Star starter while Chandler was left to wonder if he would be able to make the final coaches cut. But while it was [...]
