Overdue Gratitude For Gorman's Greatness
A Daily Babble Production This piece has been a long time coming. But over several months of contemplation, I've had more difficulty than I could have imagined finding the right right words for it. It isn't easy to describe my enjoyment of the man whose delivery of his own words add so much to...
Preseason Game 6: Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks Recap
- Anytime Rajon Rondo starts to limp around I get concerned. And even though initial reports are good I'm taking the wait and see approach. I've had numerous fantasy baseball and basketball teams felled by guys who were initially day-to-day and then didn't play for weeks on end. As a side note,...
Preseason Game 4: Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Recap
This was one of the most boring games I've ever watched. It was choppy, the crowd was, for the most part, lifeless and overall the game just dragged on until Leon Powe mercifully blocked a shot to prevent overtime. That doesn't mean I don't have some thoughts: - If a decision on Darius Miles were...
Preseason Game 3: Boston Celtics vs. Houston Rockets Recap
- The Rockets had 45 free throws after 3 quarters. That's insane. - Tommy Heinsohn is pushing Gabe Pruitt aggressively right now. I'm not ready to buy. - The Bill Walker era could go a lot of different ways. Off the top of my head: 1. Guy who plays way too hard and gets injured as a result. Think...

In fact during the first several possessions of the game Williams, and LeBron James, pushed the ball aggressively. And on one of those plays I caught Zydrunas Ilgauskas in the background, running...
Remembering Sherman Douglas
I got the idea of profiling random players from Boston's past from the stellar Washington Wizards blog, and fellow SB Nation site, Bullets Forever. I really got into the Haywoode Workman post. Although in my case I don't envision this morphing into a series. Rather, I just wanted to talk about...
More on Tony Allen and Eddie House
As I mentioned earlier Eddie House and Tony Allen appear to be back in the fold for two more seasons. With their imminent signings I thought it would be interesting to dive into the archives and look at some posts I wrote about them in the past year. There was a profile of House. Other than that he...
Heinsohn, Don't You Ever Smile?: Book Review
As I read Heinsohn, Don’t You Ever Smile? I kept thinking, "This reminds me of something. What the hell is it?" Eventually it hit me – Instant Replay – The Green Bay Diary of Jerry Kramer. I read the latter at least four years ago, but after some thought there are numerous...
No, No, No, Tony Allen at Point Guard
First off thanks to Celtics Blog for the heads up on this one. Secondly I am now officially worried about Rajon Rondo's health. And now the matter at hand. John Hollinger reports that Tony Allen could conceivably start at point guard. On the one hand Allen has proven he needs starter's minutes to...
