Jeff Green’s 2012-13 Final Grade

Unless we’re discussing the eight or nine best players in the world, it’s impossible to separate a contract’s price from a player’s expectations, value, and overall performance. Jeff Green is the manifestation of this theory. In August he was guaranteed $36 million over four years, even though he didn’t play a single game during the [...]

Painful Reminders (Part I): The Celtics Drafted JaJuan Johnson Instead of Jimmy Butler

On June 23rd, 2011, Brian Robb and I stood around a high top bar table in Tommy Doyle’s in Kendall Square.  Before us lay one of the biggest mounds of buffalo chicken wings I had ever endeavor to make disappear.  These 25 cent flappers- one of the few indulgences afforded to the participants of our [...]

View from the Opposing Bench: Bucksketball

Thumbnail: After an unappealing start to their 2012-13 campaign in Miami, the Celtics host the Bucks tonight in what will double as their home opener, as well as the season opener for Milwaukee. A lot of familiar faces are back for the visitors, including one of the most dangerous backcourt tandems (on the offensive end) in the league in Jennings and Ellis. Ilyasova is a stud on the offensive end as well, so the C’s will need to clean up their lackluster pick and roll defense to keep Milwaukee at bay tonight. 

Another fun thing to look out for will be the return of Marquis Daniels to the TD Garden after three faithful years of service in a C’s uniform. He is coming off the bench for Scott Skiles, although it is unclear whether he will see any minutes over the likes of Mike Dunleavy Jr. We’ll have more from TD Garden, including the starting lineup from Doc as we get closer to gametime.
