Dirk Nowitzki hit the go-ahead bucket on Wednesday night as the Dallas Mavericks turned aside the Boston Celtics in the fourth quarter to hang on for a 90-85 win. Tied at 85 after Paul Pierce hit a three with 25 seconds to go, Nowitzki went up strong, absorbing contact, converting the [...]
With Rajon Rondo, the Boston Celtics are playing with house money. Teams don’t usually get players like Rondo with the No. 21 pick in a shallow draft. When Boston excised the young core to pull in Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, Rondo, then coming off of a rookie season where he averaged six points and as many rebounds as assists, was one of two (with Kendrick Perkins) who stayed. When it came time to sign an extension off of his rookie deal, [...]
I’m sure you have heard the latest rumors of Rajon Rondo heading to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for Chris Paul. However, that deal appears all but dead now after Paul announced that he will not sign any long-term deal with the Boston Celtics if he’s traded to the franchise.
With that, the Celtics have not stopped with shopping Rondo. [...]
While many players are heading overseas in order to soften the financial blow of the lockout, there are actually some of them like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and many of the older players who would benefit from a shorter season.
Of course there are also younger teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder who may not benefit directly from the lockout [...]
Whether or not the New York Knicks or the rest of the NBA will even play in the 2011-2012 NBA season is a question by itself. However, I still think it’s important to review the most important games which they will play if the NBA is able to come to an agreement to salvage the entire season.

Football is like baseball, I can watch almost any game and enjoy it. Watching someone beyond the Celtics or Bruins is semi-sacriligious in their sport! Yet, the Patriots have been such a credit to the league that the interest in who we were playing next week or just the general non-ambivalence to the game of football so he could concentrate[...]
With seven minutes left in the third quarter of Game 3, the Boston Celtics held a 10-point lead and looked poised to get on the board in their second-round playoff series against the Miami Heat. Just 10 seconds later, it looked like Boston’s season could be over.
When the final buzzer sounded an hour after that, though, the defending Eastern Conference champions were looking…
The Miami Heat will meet the Boston Celtics in a playoff series that has been anticipated since the season began. Miami and Boston are giants of the Eastern Conference and the regular season was a good preview of what was to come. Boston’s famed Big Three looked on with intent in the pre-season as Miami recruited a Big Three of their own. The lines were drawn a long time ago. When Lebron James and Chris Bosh…
It has been a series of heartbreak for the New York Knicks.
After grinding out two extremely close losses in Boston, the Knicks returned home with what looked to be a sense of optimism, only to have one of their worst possible performances.
Whether it was the health of two…
On Friday night, the offensive firepower of the Boston Celtics was just too formidable for the New York Knicks to handle. Rajon Rondo notched a triple-double, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen broke the 30-point barrier, and the Celtics cruised past the Knicks in Game 3 of the opening round of the NBA Playoffs, 113-96.
Rondo dished out a [...]
