Doc Rivers

Doc Rivers isn’t Ray Allen. Believe me, that’s an important distinction these days. Allen was the rat bastard traitor who left the Boston Celtics high and dry in 2012, spurning them for the Miami Heat and the opportunity to win a title. Rivers, who orchestrated his departure from Boston, is almost perfect. Or so says [...]

Donald Sterling is a tyrant. Worse, he’s a tyrannical fool. The Los Angeles Clippers owner has long been known for his despotic and often-senseless rule. Logic isn’t always a part of his thought process and before Chris Paul’s arrival, he was known for pinching pennies and escorts’ asses (kidding, I think), not building a winner. [...]

Just leave it alone, Doc. LeBron James took exception to the way Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce treated Ray Allen after he left the Boston Celtics for the Miami Heat in 2012. He thought they were hypocrites for dissing a former teammate after he left for greener pastures, before doing the same thing. And he [...]

Rajon Rondo doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Following the Boston Celtics’ trade of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets, and Doc Rivers’ departure to the Los Angeles Clippers, there were a lot of questions surrounding the point guard’s future in Beantown. Was the team tanking and therefore, he on the [...]

The NBA was close to losing Kevin Garnett. Nearly two decades deep into his career, the 37-year-old had plans to call it quits if he wasn’t playing under one non-negotiable condition: next to Paul Pierce. During a recent interview with China’s Sinas Sports (via Celtics Life) Garnett said he would have retired if he hadn’t [...]

Rajon Rondo has plenty of doubters, former Boston Celtics teammate Paul Pierce just isn’t one of them. Entering his eighth NBA season, Rondo, like Pierce, finds himself in unfamiliar territory. The Truth is playing for a new team in a new city while Rondo is playing for a new team in the same city. That’s [...]

Surprise, surprise. Paul Pierce recently admitted that neither he nor Doc Rivers nor Kevin Garnett was prepared to endure a rebuild for the Boston Celtics. Shocking right? Not exactly. Speaking with SLAM Magazine’s Adam Figman, The Truth was very candid about what went down in Beantown: Well, I know the insides with everything that’s going [...]

The Boston Celtics don’t need to send Rajon Rondo anywhere. Apparently. Much has been made of Boston’s decision to hire analytic-guru and rookie head coach Brad Stevens, no conjecture more powerful than that which questions Rondo’s future in Bean town. After watching the Celtics trade away Kevin Garnett, Doc Rivers, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry, [...]

Chris Paul is excited to return to the Los Angeles Clippers. Don’t underestimate the power of excitement. It’s always better than hearing “Oh crap, I’m still playing here?” According to Arash Markazi of ESPN Los Angeles, Paul harbors no such resentment or regret about remaining in Los Angeles: “I’m excited,” Paul told ESPNLosAngeles.com. “I’m excited [...]

Kevin Garnett can’t become a member the Los Angeles Clippers, but maybe he can join the Brooklyn Nets. According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News, Nets general manager Billy King made a call to the Boston Celtics to inquire about Garnett’s desire to play in Brooklyn: Multiple sources told the Daily News [...]
