Rondo Replacing Johnson on All-Star Team

The Herald got it right from Rondo’s agent. According to his agent, Bill Duffy, the Celtics point guard has been named to the Eastern Conference All-star roster, presumably to replace Joe Johnson, the injured Atlanta Hawks guard. This would be Rondo’s third all-star appearance. Nice birthday present for RR, who probably should have been selected [...]

Comments Deleting?

We apologize if your comments are being deleted (provided that they are not offensive). We are looking into why this is happening. We also want to apologize for the lack of a game thread for last night’s game.  We had a premonition that the Celtics would play that poorly and thought if we pretended the [...]

3. Wilcox’s Rude Slam

Chris Wilcox gently reminds you that he is actually very athletic despite his facial hair.

Someone from the coaching staff forgot to remind him that the Celtics don’t dunk anymore.

2. KG Gets Howard’s Spit Out of Here

This is what a brilliant defensive mind KG has: he knows Howard’s going to take this hook before he even lifts his hands. See how he jump-stops just before Howard makes the turn to go up for the shot? Imagine being able to anticipate a dude’s move like that. Ya can’t!

Headline writers must love guys like Moore whose last names are homonyms with very common words. Tonight they were like, “E’Twaun Moore had eight points in the fourth? Awesome. ‘Moore the Merrier,’ ‘Moore to Love,’ ‘Have Some Moore.’ That’s three. Peace.”
