1) In response to the Rajon Rondo trade this past month – 2014/12/21 at 10:06 am
Rondo will be passing out assists like Christmas presents to his Dallas teammates. Can’t wait to see him in the finals.
-Just Ducky
2) In response to Danny Ainge and his “great” decision making the past couple of years – 2014/12/21 at 10:10 pm
His record with drafting good talent though is horrible. And the C’s have never gotten lucky in the lottery… we got the second pick once since the lottery, Len Bias… and he died before suiting up. If Ainge could spot talent like Bird or the thunders gm, or the spurs and get quality players deep in the draft then it would work out fine, but he has proven is ineptitude in that regard
-Larry Legend
3) In response to why people were blaming Rondo for the Celtics troubles this year – 2014/12/13 at 8:41 am
Rondo is not to Blame. Rondo can pull his team to a higher level, but he is not Michael Jordan. He is Rajon Rondo. You must remember he is the one player on the court that has done it before, but not as the leading scorer, but as the leader in general. Again these are not Michael Jordan dayz. Even Lebron James and Kobe have pitiful nights. I think the one DIRECTLY responsible for these Inconsistent Displays of High School Level of basketball is Brad Stevens. In an orchestra, the Musical Director takes the blame if the musical show ends with anything less than what is expected from a night of Gala and Grandure. The NBA Is top of the scale in organized professional basketball. And he is responsible. And Ainge is responsible for STEVENS performance with The Celtics. Is he Not?
-Joe Bell
4) In response to the Rajon Rondo elbow to Lance Stephenson earlier in the year – 2014/12/11 at 6:47 am
Best shot of the night: Rondo’s elbow to Stephenson!! I changed my mind lets keep Rondo, I love the toughness
-Matt Gray
5) In response to an article about the first Celtics game against the Raptors – 2014/11/05 at 5:17 pm
“The Boston Celtics come into tonight’s game , with one goal in mind: keep it close, from start to finish”… SAY WHAT? SCREW THAT!! I Think Their Goal Should Be To Blow The Raptors Out Of The Garden From Start To Finish!! Time For Boston Blow Out!!
-Rick Rice
6) In response to an article about Joel Anthony – 2014/10/15 at 4:14 pm
From the moment I saw “LOL” in this article, I knew it was irrelevant. But yeah, Joel Anthony stinks now. Used to be a decent hustle player in Miami before LeBron came though.
-Arvin Roop
7) In response to an article about who should get playing time – 2014/07/15 at 4:20 pm
Wow….to write about something, you ought to need to have more than a laptop and a journalism degree. You ought to have actually..oh, I don’t know…played a SPORT at sometime. So you might know a little something about it. I love how these internet idiots just throw something out there, expecting people to buy it. Figures lie and liars figure. When he was playing with the better version of the Celtics, instead of the D league version, none other than KG loved him.
Pack up your laptop. moron. Go write about curling or some other sport you know zip about.
-Paul Preach
8) In response to who we should sign to the Celtics – 2014/06/04 at 11:02 pm
Whatever we do, let’s not throw $ at a foreign, unathletic big guy with no skills. Girls like guys with skills
-Jack
9) In response to the our poor season 2013-2014 – 2014/02/26 at 5:29 pm
The Celtics seems to have mastered the fine art of tanking without appearing to tank .
They even had me fooled .
For a while.
All those close losses of winnable games ……
-Glenroy
10) In reponse to how to rebuild the Celtics – 2014/02/25 at 10:20 pm
The Celtics didn’t become great until they picked Bill Russell with a number 2 pick that involved a trade with the St. Louis Hawks and ice show concessions to the Rochester Royals. The rest is history. Territorial pick Tommy Heinsohn. The Junior eligible Larry Bird. The machinations of draft picks for Robert Parrish and the third pick for Kevin Mc Hale. Maybe Red Auerbach is channeling through Danny Ainge. Do what is necessary.
