The Celtics earned confidence-boosting victories over Orlando, Indiana and Chicago in recent weeks, but they also suffered embarrassing defeats to Phoenix, Cleveland, Toronto and Detroit. After winning nine of 10, the Celtics have dropped four of their...

They play again tonight at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Fast facts: The teams split two previous meetings, both in Boston.

Over the next several days, I will be examining perceptions, realities, and takeaways, from the idea of building a team, namely following the "OKC Model." What I find fascinating is how Jazz fans interpret "following the OKC model." I asked on twitter...

“This is not a science, and never will be.” The difference between a Ray Allen and a Reggie Williams is so much smaller than we think. Maybe Ray’s a little more focused, a little smarter about how he gets shots and is in a situation where he has a...

Even if we have a ton of money, big name players do not seem to want to come here. Heck crappy Turkoglu players dont even want to come here. Trade seems to be our best option IMHO. i would want are Rondo!! Pierce will retire a Celtic. Ray Allen would...

Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett are great and everything, but Rondo is the glue that holds the Celtics together. It's therefore more than a little surprising that Rondo's name has popped up so frequently in trade rumors. He's been connected to...

"My first two years I was just a shooter, a 3-point shooter. Now I definitely want to say I'm a scorer.'' “I do believe there’s a difference between a shooter and a scorer,’’ she said. “I feel like a pure shooter is someone like Ray Allen who comes off...

Dineen/NBAE/Getty Images Ray Allen showed signs of breaking out of his recent shooting funk. CHICAGO -- Anyone else might have stopped shooting, but as Celtics coach Doc Rivers loves to point out, what makes Ray Allen great is that he always thinks the...

The Air Jordan X ‘Old Royal’ continues to be a popular in-game choice as we see Jared Jeffries, Nate Robinson, and Monta Ellis ball in the recent release. The Nike Zoom Kobe VI iD still has presence as Ben Gordon and Demar DeRozan wore their respective...

The bigger question is whom will J.R. Smith replace in the rotation. There is no way that J.R. Smith should start for the Knicks. He is not the high efficiency, low usage player that the Knicks need to have with Jeremy Lin, Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e...

2011 Low. Yet, last night our Kicks On Court column spotted Price wearing the “Rising Sun” Air Jordan 12. If you recall, Jordan Brand unleashed this predominately white Air Jordan 12 during the fall of 2009. Did you purchase or pass on this retro? View...

Even calling Phoenix’s Steve Nash (38) and Grant Hill (39) “effective” misses out that the pair are the lifeblood of an otherwise nondescript Suns season. You already know about the Celtics’ Big Three, highlighted by Ray Allen (36), who’d be my No. 1...

That KOC and the rest of the organization continue pointing towards the Thunder as where the Jazz are headed, but they aren’t on the same path. When the Sonics/Thunder rebuilt, they drafted guys who they knew could play (Durant, Westbrook, Harden),...

In a matchup between two of the best defenses in the league, one could reasonably expect a low scoring game as this was, 89-80. But the Boston Celtics likely did not expect the following: Getting out rebounded 52-37 and 16-6 on the offensive glass. A...

The Boston Celtics have dealt with numerous injuries to their core throughout the first part of the 2011-2012 season. Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett have all missed a little bit of time due to the pesky injury imp. Fortunately...

Ray Allen heard through back channels that the NBA wanted him to participate in the 3-point shootout on All-Star Saturday. But the Celtics [team stats] guard who came into last night’s game third in the league in trey percentage followed through on his...

The Celtics lost for the fourth time in five games even though Kevin Garnett finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds after sitting out the previous night against Detroit with a hip flexor. Rajon Rondo had 17 points and eight assists. Paul Pierce scored...

CHICAGO - In Wednesday’s 98-88 loss to the Pistons, Ray Allen did not record his first field goal until there were 5.7 seconds left in the game. It was a meaningless, garbage-time layup, but it allowed him to avert his first game without one since Game...
