Here’s hoping you haven’t yet had your fill of Anthony Davis rumors this season, because we’ve got another batch waiting for ya. According to Sporting News’ Sean Deveney, while the New Orleans Pelicans superstar remains untouchable now, the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs are all at least half-hoping to [...]

As it stands today, the Boston Celtics are the biggest threat to dethroning the defending champion Golden State Warriors. They have the best record once again in the eastern conference at 35-15 and are the best defensive team in the NBA. That doesn’t mean that they can’t utilize their king’s ransom of picks and young [...]

NBA players are prideful, narcissistic and petty creatures for the most part. Many players run on fellow players, coaches, front office and media slights for fuel and they all want the respect that they feel they deserve on a basketball court. One guy who deserves a great deal of admiration from Boston Celtics fans and [...]

Gordon Hayward continues to make progress in his recovery from a dislocated left ankle and fractured tibia—loads of progress, actually. Most recently, on Wednesday, Hayward divulged that doctors have cleared him to move around without his walking boot on a (hopefully) indefinite basis. As he told reporters, per ESPN.com’s Chris Forsberg: “The process is always [...]

Marcus Morris has had a hard time being on the floor for the Boston Celtics this season. After serving a suspension to start the year and recovering from a knee injury Morris has appeared in 16 games, nine of which as a starter for the Celtics, Morris is back on the shelf.
