Jeff Green’s 2012-13 Final Grade

Monday morning links

Slow Monday morning around the Boston “God We’re F—– If The Globe Closes Down” Media:

  • Perkins anchors defense: Though the Celtics have established a reputation for demonstrating how championships derive from defending, relatively few of the franchise’s players have been named to the NBA All-Defensive first team. Kevin Garnett became the seventh Celtic named to the team last year, matching the number of titles the team has won since the All-Defensive team was inaugurated in the 1968-69 season. [Boston Globe]

Those are always the variables and the uncertainties with every team. But I really like our team. When we’re healthy and we’re playing, I love what we can be.” [Boston Herald]
  • Ray Allen Reaches New Heights While Conditioning: This season Allen’s conditioning has been tested.

But draining game-winners after hustling for 46 minutes would not be possible without his hard work during the offseason. [WEEI.com]
