What would Red Auerbach think of Rajon Rondo?
Red Auerbach pioneered the way basketball is played today. He preached fundamentals, sharing the ball on offense, and team defense. Fifty years later, Rajon Rondo is revolutionizing the sport just like his predecessor.

Rajon Rondo Day: Stone Cold
You could point out that Rajon's hair is on fire and the most you would get is an annoyed scrunching of the face. You don't really know the depths of his emotions, but you know what they say about still waters.

Rajon Rondo looking to build on success of 2011-12
Rajon Rondo has come a long way since 2007. He's poised to continue moving forward in 2012, a year of new faces, new chances and new beginnings for the Boston Celtics.

Is Rondo our best player?
Danny Ainge himself, on 2 different interviews, made the statement that Rajon Rondo is our best player. I think at worst it is a 1a and 1b debate with Kevin Garnett being the other option.

The Garnett effect
Kevin Garnett's new deal will help make the Boston Celtics title contenders for the next three years, but his legacy with the team will last much longer.

Kevin Garnett: heart and soul
Everything changed in Boston on that Summer day in 2007 when Kevin Garnett was traded. The Celtics didn't just go from being bad to being good overnight. They went from being NBA players to becoming a team.

The Truth conquers all
Somehow Paul Pierce made it to the top of the mountain as a Boston Celtic as the captain and go-to- guy. Don’t let anybody tell you that it was only because of the additions of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Yes, Pierce finally had a good team around h

#34 at 34
As Paul Pierce enters the twilight of his career, the 34-year-old has a chance to cement his legacy as the all-time leading scorer in Celtics' history. There's no question that #34 will be raised to rafters, but will he retire in Celtic green?

Paul Pierce Tribute
This article was originally run on Aug. 25, 2011 but it seemed like something that could be re-run on Paul Pierce Day. It describes how I feel like I grew up with Paul Pierce on a distant parallel path.

Brandon Bass > Josh Smith
Celtics fans have flirted with the idea of acquiring for Josh Smith, but that could mean including Brandon Bass in a trade.

Brandon Bass Day: The Upgrade
Perhaps it is just me, but I don't think Bass is ever going to be able to separate himself from comparisons to Big Baby. On the other hand, I'm not sure he'd want to, since the comparisons have been overwhelmingly positive lately.

Bradley is "nowhere near ready"
Jackie MacMullan of ESPN is reporting that Avery Bradley won't be back until December and possibly January.

Avery Bradley Day: perseverance and patience will pay off
When training camp begins, he will still be waiting. In fact, chances are good that he'll be waiting until sometime in December before getting back on the court. That has to be a frustrating process. I mean, maybe as a rookie you can understand th

Jeff Green Expectations
It's not easy being Green. He'll be the most scrutinized player on the team next season in a no win situation.

Green ready for a solidified role
Jeff Green has never been the focal point of a team during his time in the NBA. He hasn't asked for that kind of role, and frankly, he hasn't needed it.

Jeff Green Day: basketball as an afterthought
So for some of us, it took a life threatening situation to appreciate Jeff Green's life. Basketball? Who cares about basketball? This is a man's life we're talking about.

Part Chuck Norris' Beard, Part Gentle Giant
Because of his speed and athleticism, Chris Wilcox will be the most versatile big men off the Celtics' bench this season.

September 22, 2012
Hey, Don't Sleep On Wilcox!
But wait, there's another big man on the team that very likely has more talent than any of those other 3. Chris Wilcox is probably the best scorer of that bunch and absolutely has the best athleticism, in particular running the floor.

Darko & The Myth Of The Celtic Center
Darko Milicic joins a crowded bench with Fab Melo, Jared Sullinger, Chris Wilcox, and Jason Collins. He'll not only be fighting his teammates for playing time, but they'll all be playing in the shadow of Kendrick Perkins, too.

Darko Milicic Day
Enter Darko Milicic - the poster boy for wasted potential. He was picked way too high for his talent and never developed the way he could or perhaps should have, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have value. As a minimum contract backup center, he's g

Jason Terry, Celtic Maverick
How will the versatile Jason Terry fit into the Boston offense? Probably just as well as he's fitting into the Celtics' culture.

Jason Terry Day: Set For Takeoff
Remember how I mentioned how giddy I was that the Celtics were adding a rebounder in Jared Sullinger? Well, add to that the fact that the Celtics will finally have a guy coming off the bench who can fill up the basket and I'm nearly beside myself.

Courtney Lee Is A Celtic
Courtney Lee wanted to be a Celtic. Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge wanted him to be a Celtic. After six players changed zip codes and draft picks were traded, it happened.
