Just when you thought the Celtics were done reacting to Ray Allen’s decision to join the Heat, Jason Terry jumps in. Is Terry qualified to speak on this matter? And should Ray Allen even care? Following Boston’s 103-91 win over Cleveland on Wednesday, much of the post-game chatter centered around 35-year-old Paul Pierce who had [...]

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 [...]

The Lakers barely got by the Bobcats (101 – 100 victory) and down the stretch, Mike D’Antoni decided to put Gasol somewhere he isn’t used to being: [...]

That said, despite the urgency that is undoubtedly running through the city of Brotherly Love, it’s reassuring to see that the team is not making any brash decisions. I’m referring to, of course, the Sixers’ treatment of injured guard Jrue Holiday, who has missed [...]

J.J. Redick is one of the best players the Orlando Magic currently possess. But he’s also a free agent at the end of this season. Which is why the Magic should trade him. According to Ric Bucher of Comcast, that may, in fact be just what the team ultimately does: More from the Trade Winds: [...]
