Boston Celtics

When it comes to the Boston Celtics’ haircut game, head coach Brad Stevens doesn’t hesitate to give his stamp of approval. Talking with Brian Robb for Bleacher Report, Stevens refused to choose a player with whom he would trade hairdos. He did, however, indicate he was proud of his team for acing the barbershop test: [...]

Let’s ask the question that’s been burning a hole in our brains for months. Are the San Antonio Spurs as good, if not better, than the Golden State Warriors? No. No, they are not. Golden State proved as much during its 120-90 romping of San Antonio on Monday night, setting the stage for our power [...]

Would you ever regret signing a four-year, $32 million contract? Of course not. You’re not Avery Bradley, though. He, apparently, is regretting the deal he signed to stay with the Boston Celtics in 2014, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe (h/t CBS Sports): Avery Bradley has changed agents from Mitchell Butler of the [...]

Half of the 2015-16 NBA season is in the books. Pat yourself on the back. You’ve done it. You’ve watched, you’ve cheered, you’ve moaned.

Especially for the good-to-great contingents. The Clippers. The Thunder. The Mavericks, too. They scrap and they claw and they win, and yet no matter what they [...]

After spending each of the last two seasons hoarding assets in the form of picks, prospects and uber-reasonable contracts, the Boston Celtics are supposed to be in consolidation mode.

David Lee wants more minutes, but the Boston Celtics don’t have them to dole out, which clearly means a trade request is on the way. Or not. From Mass Live’s Jay King: Asked directly about possibly requesting a trade due to disappearing playing time, Boston Celtics big man David Lee said he has not considered [...]

Oh, hello there, 2016. We almost didn’t see you come in, not with the 2015-16 NBA season unfolding exactly how it wasn’t supposed to. Sure, we knew the Spurs would be really good, even if we didn’t know they’d be historically awesome. We knew the Warriors would be great. We knew the Cavaliers would be, too. [...]

Kobe Bryant is perfectly fine retiring from the NBA with less than six championship rings. Anything under five, though, would have been unacceptable.
