"That’s my first priority, just going into surgery sometime," Allen said. "If I could do it tomorrow, I would do it tomorrow. That’s probably my main concern right now, taking care of that." - He wasn't kidding. Good to see it's getting taken care of immediately.

Practice wrapped up today in Waltham, and the only pieces of news to come out of it was that Shaq will miss at least tomorrow's game because his hip is "locked up" -- possibly one or two games on the road trip, and Daniels is a 50-50 chance tomorrow because of a family issue.

"This team has tanked in each of the last two Januarys (and the tanking extended until the playoffs last season), so let’s not get ahead of ourselves. But with one-fourth of the season gone, Boston is the team to beat, and KG’s health is a major reason why." - Zach Lowe, on The Point Forward

Lebron, Wade and Bosh have continuosly faced public scrutiny for joining forces taking a misconceived "easy route". Is this so uncommon? Not at all.

"It’s clear that Boston isn’t as good as its previous versions, and there’s a strong hint that Boston assumes they can quit on tough games in the regular season because it can flip the switch when it needs to in the playoffs. Neither bodes well for Boston with a possible date with the surging Milwaukee Bucks on the horizon. Unless Allen and KG find what Juan Ponce de Leon couldn‘t, and unless Boston starts to get meaningful minutes from its bench, its chances of winning a title will be ancient history."

Tyreke Evans was tracked by the Celtics heading into the NBA Draft. Although they did not get them, a lucky squad managed to get their hands on the PG out of Memphis -- the Sacramento Kings. Evans has risen up to an All-Star level out on the West Coast. What's next for the exciting rookie, and what hype surrounding him will help his MVP/ROY candidacy?
