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. [...]

Players like Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and LeBron James garner a tremendous amount of attention, and it is well deserved, since they have met or even exceeded the expectations which have been set for them.

However, there is another group of players in the NBA that receive a tremendous amount of attention and turn out to be all “sizzle [...]

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…

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 [...]

The “All That”…

The Draft: You know how it works. Like all professional leagues in America, the NBA holds one every year. It’s designed, of course, to give the crappy teams leverage in the acquisition of new, young talent. The NBA relatively recently even injected a draft lottery, to supposedly keep said crappy teams from tanking [...]

So…I was wrong…for the first and only time this decade. And if you believe that last part, I have a team in Orlando that’s about to win a ring to sell you.

I was wrong….dead wrong…about the Boston Celtics. During the regular season, they played like the old men that they are. So, naturally, I (a Lakers fan,[...]

Once again the Cleveland Cavaliers looked as if they forgot how to beat the Boston Celtics.

After an aggressive, dominating performance in game three on Friday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers returned to their passive, less-defensive minded..

This is a great deal for both the Celtics and Rondo, who now can both have a sigh of relief. This is a big-time contract for the 23-year-old guard, but Rondo is a big-time player. He is worth this money for the Celtics, and there is no other franchise better than the Celtics that can [...]
