Brandon Bass Proving to Be A Big Catch In Boston

Celtics GM Danny Ainge reeled in a good one when he acquired Brandon Bass this off-season. Bass has emerged as the Celtics’ big fish off the bench. He has taken the bait and bought into the Doc Rivers’ system. The Celtics surely won’t be looking to throw this one back. Ok, I know, too many [...]

After previewing the Eastern Conference’s non-contenders in Part 1, Sports of Boston concludes with a look at the likely playoff-bound teams.

Boston Celtics’ Offseason Grades, Part 1

Chris Paul is headed to the Los Angeles Clippers. David West signed a two-year deal with the Indiana Pacers. Celtics’ GM Danny Ainge didn’t make the league shaking moves it looked like he might. I’m kind of glad he didn’t. I want to watch Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Rajon Rondo chase one [...]

Video: “Big Baby” Reflects on the NBA Lockout

Ever wonder what NBA players did with their down time during the lockout? Hit the clubs? Record a hit rap single? Join a team overseas? Make a cameo on Basketball Wives? Not Glen “Big Baby” Davis. Big Baby stayed productive during his time off, getting in touch with his inner self with some hands-on arts [...]

The Future of Dustin Pedroia’s Nickname, “The Muddy Chicken”

Second base…tastes like chicken? Apparently, that’s what Dustin Pedroia is going for with his new nickname, the Muddy Chicken. Pedroia has always been known as the little guy with the big sense of humor, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.  But does this signal the end of the Laser Show? Let’s hope [...]

Can an NBA Lockout-Shortened Season Benefit Aging Celtics?

35, 34, 36, 39, 25. Those numbers represent the ages of the Celtics’ starters if the season was to start in October. Rajon Rondo of course is the youngest at 25 and Shaquille O’Neal is the eldest at 39. (If you want to guess the other three go ahead, it doesn’t matter anyways). No matter how [...]

2011 Celtics Free Agent Report: Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis

Glen Davis would be a whole lot richer if NBA GMs ignored this past postseason. Davis was a candidate for sixth man of the year after averaging 11.7 points and 5.4 rebounds. Then, the playoffs came and Davis fell apart, as he averaged just 4.9 points and 3.6 rebounds and possibly cost himself millions of [...]

Amber Alert! Missing Baby! What Happened to Glen Davis in the Playoffs?

Down 3-1 to the Miami Heat, the Celtics are on the brink of elimination and possibly the end of the new “Big Three” era. Clearly things haven’t exactly followed the blueprint in the playoffs for Boston, but why? One big problem is the production, or lack of production, from one big baby. Glen Davis has [...]

Celtics Survive Their Own Collapse to Sweep Knicks

Chicago couldn’t do it. Miami couldn’t do it. Boston could. The Celtics punched the first ticket to the second round on Sunday, beating the New York Knicks 101-89 to complete the sweep. Carmelo Anthony’s 32 points couldn’t help the Knicks, who shrank a 23-point lead to four, but couldn’t complete the comeback. Glen Davis started [...]

Backup Plan: Celtics Bench Must Be Better In the Playoffs

The Celtics have a commanding 3-0 series lead and won last night’s game running away, but there is still a glaring issue that will have to be fixed if they expect to win in the later rounds. The Bench. The Knicks bench has outscored the Celtics bench so far this series 98-35. The Celtics bench [...]

Celtics Can’t Grab Any End of Year Hardware

A day after Celtics forward Kevin Garnett came in a distant second behind Dwight Howard in the running for defensive player of the year, another C’s forward came up short for another end of the year award. It was announced earlier this week that Lamar Odom would be named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the [...]

“The Big 4″ Sit as Celtics Close Out Season With Win Against Knicks

It was supposed to be a preview of arguably the most intriguing first round matchup of the playoffs, but with the “Big 4,” Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups all watching from the bench it was more of a glorified pickup game. The Celtics bench got to play as the starters for the second straight night. [...]
