Here at Hardwood Houdini, we love the Boston Celtics as much as you do. If you’re like me, you can’t get enough of the guys in green. I like to look at all of the posts produced by the Hardwood Houdini writers, but I’d be lying if that was all I looked at.

I will be on the look out for links to stories that in one way or another deal with the Celtics. I’ll give a small summary of what each story is about, but I encourage all readers to take a look at the pieces people put together, so that you can get a full Celtics diet.

Why Can’t the Celtics compete AND Rebuild?: CelticsBlog

This is a cool story about the status quo of the NBA and how the Celtics are breaking it. Boston is a really good team with the same assets of a terrible one. So why should they trade key players just to keep up with Cleveland? They’ll pass Cleveland soon enough if they keep the picks.
