2009 Celtics Summer League Team Preview

By Nathan ⋅ July 4, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics announced their Orlando Summer League roster a few days ago. The roster contains four players we’re all familiar with: Gabe Pruitt, Bill Walker, J.R. Giddens and newly drafted rookie Lester Hudson. The C’s should get a good look at Hudson as he will be going up against pretty tough competition at either guard [...]

Eddie House: 2008-2009 Celtics Review

By Geoff ⋅ July 3, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Eddie House had a much better year than last and continues to be a threat off the bench for the Celts. He was able to start appearing in different situations not just as a point guard, but also has a shooting guard on occasion too. House really benefited from the arrival of Stephon Marbury as [...]

Save Leon Powe Petition is a Little Ridiculous

By Geoff ⋅ July 3, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

The Celtics have decided to part ways with forward/center Leon Powe after not offering him a qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent. General manager Danny Ainge does not necessarily want to sign Powe since he will most likely not be ready to play until mid-December. They have not completely ruled out re-signing him [...]

Leon Powe Not Returning to the Celtics

By Pat Cusick ⋅ July 2, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Wednesday, the Boston Herald reported that Leon Powe believes his days in Boston have come to an end. The third-year forward was not offered a qualifying offer from the Celtics and now has become an unrestricted free agent. While I am a little sad to see Leon go, it is not an overly surprising move. [...]

Rasheed Wallace Headed to the Celtics?

By Jimmy ⋅ July 2, 2009 ⋅ 6 comments

“These teams are muck!”
I can see it now, NBA franchises complaining all over the league if Rasheed Wallace agrees to a deal with the Celtics. It would just be unfair. When you consider Wallace even taking a sixth man type role, the Celtics are considerably stronger than the 2008 team that won the championship.
“Can there [...]

Tony Allen: 2008-2009 Celtics Review

By Geoff ⋅ July 2, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Toward the end of last year, Tony Allen seemed to fully recover from his knee injury that sidelined him for much of the 06-07 season, which had appeared to be the beginnings of a breakout year. He showed flashes in 07-08, punctuated by that great 360-degree dunk to finish of the Lakers in the finals [...]

The Celtics Have Market Options

By Nathan ⋅ July 1, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The draft has come and gone, and thankfully, in my opinion, the Celtics’ starting lineup remains in tact. I say give ‘em another year. The NBA free agency period officially opens on Wednesday. Celtics’ management has said that they would be willing to pay for the right veteran. Before we examine all options, let’s officially [...]

Stop Laughing Right Yao: Could the Rockets Center be Done for?

By Jon ⋅ June 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

So, this might not directly affect us as Celtics fans, but anytime someone of Yao Ming’s stature looks like he could be leaving the NBA, it causes ripples. The giant Chinese superstar suffered a hairline fracture of one of the bones in his foot during a playoff loss against the Lakers in Houston. Initial reports [...]

Celtics Offseason Watch: Big Baby, House, Yao and more

By Nathan ⋅ June 30, 2009 ⋅ One comment

As free agency nears, the Celtics not only have holes to fill on their roster, but also have some free agents of their own to negotiate with. The hottest of these names is forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis. The Boston Globe is reporting that Danny Ainge will extend a qualifying offer to Davis by the [...]

Celtics 2009 Offseason Preview

By Pat Cusick ⋅ June 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Another NBA season has come and gone and this one unfortunately ended without banner No. 18. I think now is the perfect time to take a look at the Celtics and what needs to be done to get them back to their rightful place on the NBA throne. Here are five things that I think [...]

Reinvention in the Celtics Off-Season

By Ali ⋅ June 29, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Boston Celtics are synonymous with a few things: triumph, legacy, and restoration. Some look back upon the 2009 NBA playoffs as an untimely demise of the reigning NBA champions, while some refer to as an inevitable outcome after a cursed playoff season riddled with injury. Either way, Kevin Garnett’s energy and skill was not [...]

Maine Red Claws New Celtics D-League Affiliate

By Jeff Christenbury ⋅ June 29, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

The long awaited announcement that was always expected will finally come to fruition today at the Maine Red Claws – a new NBA Developmental League team in Portland, Maine – will be named as the Boston Celtics affiliate.
While the Red Claws have used the past few months developing their name, logo and renovating the aged [...]

Will Rondo Remain a Celtic?

By Jimmy ⋅ June 28, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

The Celtics won a Championship a year ago–it was glorious. The Big Three, Kendrick Perkins and Rajon Rondo were the starters and right now the Celtics have the same team. So why is there so much trade talk?
The only logical explanation is a concern for the future.
If the Celtics were to keep the original starters [...]

Introducing Lester Hudson

By Matt Marcantonio ⋅ June 28, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

The NBA draft came and went. We saw the Minnesota Timberwolves draft three point guards, two brothers going in the same draft, and a trade involving Vince Carter. What we did not see was a trade of any sort for the Boston Celtics. Rajon Rondo still remains the starting PG and Ray Allen still occupies [...]

Local Prospects to Play in NBA Summer League

By Mike ⋅ June 27, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

As boston.com reported Saturday, two more local guys will be in the NBA system. Boston College senior point guard Tyrese Rice will be assigned to the Washington team and Connecticut’s Jeff Adrien is part of the Memphis squad. This follows the two locals drafted Thursday: Hasheem Thabeet, also to Memphis, and A. J. Price to [...]
