Boston Celtics

The Sacramento Kings continue to baffle the masses. As is the case with every season, the Kings entered the 2012-13 crusade hoping for a fresh start. Instead, they’ve picked up right where they’ve continuously been leaving off—losing. Sacramento has become the poster-team for failure. From ongoing bouts with regards to relocation, to poor personnel decisions, [...]

It’s not easy being the Boston Celtics. Rajon Rondo and company were supposedly talented and deep enough to contend for a title this season. Instead, they’ve fought to stay above .500 and can currently be classified as a fringe playoff team. The problem? Defense. Last season, the Celtics were allowing a league-best 98.2 points per [...]

Courtney Lee was supposed to be a championship-caliber piece that helped push the Boston Celtics back into contention. But that hasn’t been the case. And it may never be. According to David Aldridge of NBA.com, the Celtics may be dangling Lee as trade bait: Lee agreed to four-year, $21 million contract in a sign-and-trade deal [...]

Rajon Rondo is failing as the leader of the Boston Celtics. Coming into this season, never before was there so much talk of Rondo being Boston’s end-all, the one who would keep the Celtics’ cause intact. And subsequently, never before has Rondo been more of a disappointment. Statistically, the point guard has been sound. He’s [...]

Looking at the Brooklyn Nets’ record, it’s difficult not to get excited. Brooklyn is currently 10-4 and sitting atop the Atlantic Division—they have their victory over the New York Knicks to thank for that. So why not get excited? This is the team’s first season not only in the Barclays center, but together in general. [...]

As a 20 year old coming out of Prentiss, Mississippi, Al Jefferson was a talented prospect. As it turned out, his abilities did not earn him a lottery selection, but it did grab the attention of one Danny Ainge. The Celtics decided to draft Jefferson with the 15th overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft. [...]

Keyon Dooling retired before the start of the 2012-2013 season, after signing a fresh contract with the Boston Celtics. The Celtics’ veteran guard was brought to the decision after some serious thought, discussions with loved ones, and reaching a breaking point. “”It just all came to a head. To be honest with you, I blocked [...]

Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics have some work to do. After an offseason that saw Boston lose Ray Allen, yet gain enough talent to supposedly remain title contenders, the team is off to a lukewarm 2-2 start. More troubling than the Celtics’ record, though, is their performances during both their wins and losses. Not [...]

Ray Allen was a third wheel on an old sports car. With fellow aging stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, Allen and the Celtics some times seemed faster than their age, seemingly overwhelming opponents. That of course is the description fitting a Celtics team that fought its way to a 2007-2008 NBA championship. The Celtics of more [...]

The Boston Celtics are officially Rajon Rondo’s team, a reality that has been a long time coming. But the organization must be careful not to lean on him too hard, too soon. There’s no questioning Rondo’s abilities. He’s one of the league’s best ball-handlers and passers, he thrives in transition, breaks down defenses in his [...]
