After another week of NBA action, the playoff spots are starting to become solidified, but who gets what is still much less concrete (especially in the West).

Celtics Report Card: No Need for Negativity

By ⋅ March 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

If there were any time for the Boston Celtics to make a statement, this past week was certainly a good one.

Celtics Twice Nearly Claimed Knicks’ Jeremy Lin Off Waivers

By ⋅ February 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Apparently, some dude on the Knicks is having a decent season. Jerry something-or-other. Played for Yale, I think.
