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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Let’s set the record straight, when Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen have it both going, they are the best back court in the NBA, bar none. Given some more time together, they have the potential to become one of the best back courts the NBA has ever seen. If Ray Allen wasn’t going to be [...]
Trade rumors have been rolling around Boston as the NBA draft approaches. The biggest rumor involves a blockbuster trade that has Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen headed to the Phoenix Suns for Amare Stoudemire and Leandro Barbosa. Another involves Kendrick Perkins and Rondo going to the Memphis Grizzlies for their second overall pick.

Every June each year, the best of the best in the world of high school and collegiate athletics set their sights on making the big leagues. Major League Baseball kicked this off by holding their amateur entry draft two weeks ago, and this week, the focus turns to winter sports, as the NBA will stage [...]
Another day, another Rajon Rondo trade rumor. Add this one to the list, folks, as this is the fourth Rondo trade rumor in a week and a half. Man, that’s a lot of trade talks for a player that Danny Ainge claims is not getting traded. Yeah, sure Danny whatever you say… Anyway, here’s the [...]
Last night I witnessed greatness unfold when my LSU Tigers came back to defeat the University of Texas in Game One of the College World Series. The game would need extra frames to decide the outcome, as Matty “Ice” Ott came in and put an end to the madness in the 11th inning. So as [...]
The NBA Draft may be just two days away but the rumor mill is afire with trade talk, most notably a trade involving the 2008 World Champion Boston Celtics. Over the past few weeks we’ve heard Rajon Rondo’s name floated around with Phoenix as a possible destination. The newest rumor circulating from a ‘low level [...]
Gambo from Phoenix-area sports station KTAR, has reported that the Celtics and Suns are talking a trade that would send Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to the Suns in exchange for Amare Stoudemire, Leandro Barbosa, and the No. 14 pick in the NBA draft. Huh…what?!?!?!
As for STAT, Gambo thinks the Celtics would consider parting [...]
Last summer I made a very early and bold prediction that the Celtics would repeat as champions again and that Tony Allen was going to develop into their dominant sixth man. Well, now we know that both of these predictions turned up wrong, and if those were my two big hopes for the season, then [...]
Game 6 was a terrible game, as both teams played poorly the whole way through. There were dumb fouls, turnovers, and missed shots all over the place. This hardly looked like two of the three best teams in the Eastern Conference fighting to play in the next round. However, Orlando came out the victorious, beating Boston 83-75 [...]
The Celtics were in control of Game 4 for much of the second half, but Orlando would not go away. With just a few seconds left in the game, the Magic found themselves up by one point. However, the ball found its way to Glen “Big Baby” Davis, not the one who would normally take [...]
In case you missed it, behold Rondo’s gravity defying jam from Game 2:
If someone told me that Paul Pierce only played 16 minutes and only scored three points in a critical Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals I would have panicked immediately. The sad part about this statement is that most of it is true and Pierce was that ineffective due to foul trouble early in [...]
