DeMarcus Cousins Is On The Sacramento Kings
DeMarcus Cousins is on the Sacramento Kings. He is not on the Boston Celtics. His time on the Boston Celtics has not gone well or poorly, because he has not had any time on the Boston Celtics, because all of his time has been on the Sacramento Kings. (Also he is not on any other teams, except for th...
Al Horford's Sister Tells Radio Doofus To Fuck Off Over His Bad Paternity Leave Take
Al Horford missed the Celtics’ win last night over the Heat to be in Atlanta for the birth of his daughter. This did not sit well with Mike Felger, a Boston-based radio and TV doofus, who said on CSN New England last night that Horford should have chartered a private jet and made the game because th...
Flopping-Ass Marcus Smart Conned His Way Out Of A Humiliating Posterization
Perhaps Marcus Smart’s most distinctive basketball skill is his gift for flopping. The Celtics point guard is liable to careen wildly in anticipation of any contact, and he pulled off my favorite flop in NBA history. “I was just trying to make winning plays for my team,” Smart said of the below flop...
Celtics Fan Enjoys Himself
I’m usually unimpressed by the dinguses who do wacky things behind the broadcast table at NBA games, but I have to admit that this dude’s routine during last night’s Knicks-Celtics game made me chuckle:...
Kevin Garnett Retires, Makes The NBA A Little More Sane And A Lot Less Fun
Kevin Garnett’s 21-year NBA has come to an end. The 40-year-old power forward, who spent last season playing sparingly for the Minnesota Timberwolves, announced his retirement on his Instagram page....
The Celtics' Draft Night Was A Whole Lot Of Nothing
I don’t pretend to know what kind of NBA careers the many players drafted by Boston last night will have (or won’t have). But it’s hard not to feel like the night was a disappointment for the Celtics, if only because they hoped to come away with an All-Star sure thing to add to a promising young tea...
Celtics Win Trade Between Nets And Pacers
The Brooklyn Nets have gotten themselves into the pre-draft trade bonanza, reportedly sending forward Thaddeus Young to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for the 20th pick in tonight’s draft and a future second-round pick. To the Pacers I say, “So you just traded for Jeff Teague and Thaddeus Young this...
The Boston Celtics Will Soon Be Terrifyingly Good
The Boston Celtics lost to the Atlanta Hawks 104-92 last night, knocking them out of the first round of the playoffs. It’s the last time for the foreseeable future that the Celtics will exit the playoffs so early. ...
Marcus Smart Fined $5,000 For Hilarious Flop
The NBA has fined Marcus Smart $5,000 after the Celtics guard became possessed by Beelzebub late in Boston’s win last night against the Hawks. That seems a bit steep; Kyle Korver’s booty has us all losing our faculties from time to time. Let’s remember some other great moments in Marcus Smart:...
That Terrible Celtics-Hawks Game, In One Play
The Hawks just took a 2-0 lead in their first round series with the Boston Celtics after a prehistoric, listless game. Avery Bradley didn’t play because of a hamstring injury, Kelly Olynynk missed the game with a shoulder problem, and the Hawks’ coolest player, Dennis Schröder, turned his ankle at t...
The Celtics Just Had The Worst First Quarter In NBA Playoff History
The Atlanta Hawks were held scoreless for the last five minutes and change of the first quarter of tonight’s playoff game against Boston, but that doesn’t matter because the shamrock boys just took a world historic shit and scored only seven points over the entire first period on 3-for-23 shooting. ...
The Time Robert Parish Won Thousands By Dunking On Manute Bol
The following story about the 1985-86 Boston Celtics is excerpted from Back from the Dead, released last month by Simon & Schuster, and available here....
The Silicon Valley Guys Who Turned Around The Warriors Don't Believe In Their Ridiculous Luck
Friday night, in the third quarter of a home game against the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry started throwing up threes with no more trouble than a drunk trying to fall onto a sofa. Six for six he was, the kind of eruption that literally changes the dimensions of the game: He buried one trey from just ...
Reports: Kevin Durant Likes Places
Kevin Durant, as a professional basketball player, travels to many places for work. Kevin Durant, impending free agent, enjoys being in some of those places....
Only Bill Simmons Is Allowed To Say Boston Might Want Kevin Durant
Hot sports-media beefing action today, as ESPN used the occasion of tonight’s game between the Thunder and the hosting Boston Celtics to note, on SportsCenter and in an article by Chris Forsberg, that the Boston Celtics probably would like to have 27-year-old four-time scoring champ, five-time All-N...
Carmelo Anthony Sounds So Sad After The Knicks' Latest Collapse
The Knicks have had a rather tempestuous last month. They fired Derek Fisher, got into just the dumbest heckling controversy, and had to hold a press conference denying that Kurt Rambis was, in fact, horny online. On top of all that, they’ve lost 16 of 19. Kristaps Porzingis’ continued delightfulnes...
Celtics Coach Brad Stevens Can Dunk (With Help)
Celtics coach and former DePauw point guard Brad Stevens can throw it down, provided that he gets an assist from a trampoline. Lucky, the Celtics’ mascot, shared a video Sunday of Stevens dunking at the team’s facility....
Goodness, This Isaiah Thomas Pass
I’ve been repeatedly watching the replay of this no-look, behind-the-head pass from Isaiah Thomas that set up Jae Crowder’s game-sealing three, trying to figure out at what point Thomas spotted Crowder on the wing, and I never see him glance over there. But it sounds like it might be one of those sp...
Chris Paul Throws His Body In Front Of Hack-A-Jordan Attempt
Here’s a moment from last night’s game between the Clippers and Celtics, in which Clips point guard Chris Paul invents a great way to short-circuit the Cetlics’ attempt to deploy everyone’s least-favorite NBA strategy:...
Wait, Did The Clippers Pretend To Stab Paul Pierce A Bunch Of Times?
The Clippers played in Boston last night, possibly marking former Celtics great Paul Pierce’s last chance to play in front of his old fans. Pierce received a warm welcome from the crowed when he was introduced, and then participated in a very strange skit with his teammates....
