By ⋅ March 13, 2012 ⋅ One comment

The Boston Celtics are just full of surprises these days. After a disappointing late loss to the Lakers on Sunday, they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers late Monday night 94-85 in a highlight-filled second-game of a back-to-back. The teams exchanged significant leads throughout the contest, including two dramatic 9-0 runs by the Celtics and a [...]

By ⋅ December 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics and Hornets finally came to agreement on a deal…but not for Chris Paul. Danny Ainge is set to sign free agent forward David West as part of a sign-and-trade deal, according to TNT’s David Aldridge. West, who is coming off a torn ACL, will likely sign a 3-year deal for $27-29 million. Yahoo’s [...]

Sorting Through the Rumors: Is Rajon Rondo Being Shopped?

By ⋅ December 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s become an annual NBA offseason gala event, the Rajon Rondo trade rumors. In a way it makes a lot of sense: Rondo has a ton of potential, but at the close of every season he leaves fans and management wondering if he is truly a piece you can build a championship team around. There have been [...]

Big Baby, Allen Help Celtics Sting Hornets

By ⋅ March 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

If I told you on the second night of a back-to-back on the road, after an embarrassing loss to the Rockets, that Paul Pierce would shoot 1-9 from the field and Nenad Krstic would score 0 points, you would probably assume that’s an automatic loss. For the first two and a half quarters, you would have been [...]

By ⋅ February 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

On his home court and on the cusp of history, Kobe Bryant could not be denied. Bryant scored 37 while grabbing 14 boards, powering the Western Conference to its 24th victory at the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles on Sunday, beating the Eastern Conference All-Stars 148-143. Bryant, who collected three assists and three steals [...]

Celtics Stung By Hornets Without Rondo, KG To End 2010

By ⋅ December 31, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Without Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett, the Celtics look like a shadow of their former selves. On Friday afternoon at the TD Garden, they played like it in an 83-81 loss to the New Orleans Hornets, who had lost their seven previous road games. The Celtics committed 17 turnovers (with just 16 assists) and shot [...]

Celtics: Look Before You Leap into the Chris Paul Bandwagon

By ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Word on the street is that Chris Paul wants out of New Orleans, and he wants out now. Being one of the premier point guards in the league, if not the best, he’ll undoubtedly have no problem finding a gig in another city, should this request really solidify. It seems there’s a vibe going around [...]

(And now, the exciting conclusion:) 6. What We Missed Out On “I couldn’t stop running it over and over and over in my mind: the vague and distant suspicion that we never understood what happened that night.” – Patrick Kenzie, “Gone Baby Gone” Here were the possible storylines coming out of free agency: LeBron goes [...]

Every Monday, I will report on the events of the past week of fantasy basketball. I will go over each position and what particular player that week stood out from all the rest.

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 10

By ⋅ January 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With the end of football’s fantasy season being so hectic, I have been neglecting my basketball teams lately. As a result, I dropped to 10th in one of my leagues, thanks in large part to leaving Kevin Durant on my bench all week. Yes, I know I have to get my s**t together, so don’t [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 8

By ⋅ December 21, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

In the past week, nobody has picked up a player in the Sports of Boston Fantasy Basketball League. Either everyone is very satisfied with their team or nobody is paying attention. That kind of crime would be worse than Lamar Odom’s fantasy value (oh, petty cheap shot by me). Injuries Chauncey Billups (PG), Denver Nuggets [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 3

By ⋅ November 16, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I’ve been slightly disappointed with my teams over the past two weeks because I am just barely squeaking out 5-4 wins. I’d like to be winning by 6-3 or more, but in the end, winning is winning. After all, when playoff time rolls around, a 5-4 win is just as good as a 9-0 win. [...]
