And you thought the Boston Celtics were tanking. Don’t worry, you’re not alone; I thought so, too. Matter of fact, I still think so. They’re 8-12, probably to the dismay of general manager Danny Ainge. He likely figured them for a win or two by this point. Not eight. And there was no way in [...]

The Boston Celtics have bigger problems than coming to grips with the departures of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. Like the future of Rajon Rondo. With Garnett and Pierce moving on to the Brooklyn Nets, the Celtics have instantly become Rondo’s team. To be honest, this is the moment Boston was waiting for. Every year [...]

Kevin Garnett wouldn’t have been enough for Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers. Perhaps five or six years ago he would have, but now. When the deal that would have landed Garnett and Doc Rivers in Tinseltown went South, Clippers fans shouldn’t have been jumping for joy. Seriously. Unloading DeAndre Jordan would have been [...]

Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has no illusions about his current team. Though the Celtics came back from a 3-0 series deficit to bring the New York Knicks to a Game 6 in the first round of the NBA playoffs, Ainge knows that he doesn’t have a contender on his hands. He also knows [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

September 17, 2012 – Dan Favale The Boston Celtics have managed to avoid starting from scratch this season, and now, it’s up to them to ensure they make the most of it. [...]
