Paul Pierce had and MRI on his injured left foot today and the test revealed only a bruise. Given that the issue is merely a bruise and not anything serious, Pierce will be able to play when the Celtics face the Nets on Wednesday in their last game prior to the All Star break. As a precaution, Pierce sat out of practice today and will do so again tomorrow leading up to the game. Said head coach Doc Rivers: “There’s some bruinsing, swelling, but he can play, he’s going to play Wednesday. It’s just one of those things where if [...]

Celtic legend Glen “Big Baby” Davis added one to his blooper collection with an epic fast break miss during the Celtic Heat game on Sunday afternoon. After making a nice steal and racing down the court uncontested, Davis went up for a two handed jam and well, kind of came up short. Thoughts as I watched the video: 1. I went to a Celtics/Heat game and a WNBA game broke out. 2. An actual baby would have thrown it down. 3. 5 out of 5 dentists agree that this is awesome. 4. Big Maybe? 5. Now you know what I [...]

The injury to his foot could be the cause of his lowest offensive output of the season (1 point) against the Miami Heat on Sunday afternoon. Said Pierce following the game: “It was tough, you know right now, just battling a couple minor injuries to my hand and my foot, so I think that really explains my tentativeness and my off-shooting today. I told Doc that I really didn’t have it today but I just tried to grind it out and thank goodness we came out [...]

The Celtics put together a video montage saluting Ray Allen’s three point milestone tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. Celtic president Danny Ainge was on WEEI earlier today and mentioned that the Celtics would do something bigger to acknowledge Ray Allen at a later date in the season. Head coach Doc Rivers can be heard on the video saying “There’s no one alive thats going to break his record.” To put that in perspective, Jason Kidd is number two on the list and is over 800 made three pointers away from Allen.

Ray Allen took a few minutes to discuss his accomplishment with TNT’s Craig Sager during halftime of tonight’s game.

Ray Allen made the shots and is now the all time NBA leader in three point shots made. With 1:48 left in the first quarter, Ray Allen drained and wide open three pointer and the rest is history. Allen was recognized for his accomplishment over the PA between the first and second quarters and made the rounds to his family, mom and Reggie Miller so that they could all take part in the joyous celebration. As for the game, it quickly got out of hand after the Celtics built a 15 point lead, but for tonight it does not matter. [...]
