Your Feeble Kicks Have No Effect On ... DOH!
It's an idea whose time has come; NBA players as European soccer goalies. Perhaps the Celtics' Paul Pierce is not the one to blaze this particular trail, however; as he looks here less like a keeper and more like a captured tuna....

Well, We Suppose This Ruins Pitino's Master Plan
Yes, friends, it is a sad day in Celtics land. (It's a sad day in Grizzlies land too, but nobody cares about the Grizzlies.) All the hopes and dreams of Bill Simmons — who should have plenty to write about over the next five years — and those Golden Tee-playing Boston fans went up in a poof of lotte...

Ryan Gomes Is Aware Of The Celtics Priorities
On Friday night, the Boston Celtics clinched the league's 2nd-worst record (congratulations!) by losing 104-102 to the not-quite-as-lowly Milwaukee Bucks. Forward Ryan Gomes had 13 points in 24 minutes through three quarters, and then sat out the fourth. With thanks to CelticsBlog.com and Tom Ziller...

Tony Allen's Poor Decision
As those of you into fantasy basketball might know, Celtics guard Tony Allen tore his ACL last week and will miss the rest of the season. If you weren't paying close attention, though, you might have missed how he did it....

Red Auerbach Passes Away
I'm too young and to fully appreciate the aura of Red Auerbach, but I do know that anyone willing to fire up a cigar on the bench before the game was over is a bad-ass. Red also coached the Boston Celtics to nine NBA championships, eight of them in a row... which also doesn't hurt his image as a b...

Maybe They Should've Done This Before The Free Agency Period Started
The Boston Celtics have finally gotten around to putting together their first-ever dance team. Apparently, they're just going to call them the "Celtics Dancers," which is unfortunate. I was holding out hope for something like "The Paul Pierce Pleasure Crew," or "The Girls of Scalabrine's Weenie." ...

"Leon ... POWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
