Wojnarowski to Rondo: Before you talk your trash again, feel free to walk a season in Chris Paul’s Brand Jordans.

Adrian Wojnarowski calls out Rondo for his trash-talking in an article at Yahoo! Sports. The article focuses chiefly on Chris Paul, but there are some interesting tidbits about what exactly transpired after the end of the NO-BOS game.

KD, drop the filler, eh?

Mercifully, Kelly Dwyer's top 10 lists seem to have come to an end with the Top 10 players of the decade. Not before he made a fool of himself again, though.

KD's list are, obviously, personal. However, when one of your lists says that Paul Pierce is better than Tracy McGrady (Top 10 SFs), and another -- exactly the opposite (Top 10 players has McGrady in it, but not Pierce), it becomes painfully apparent that the main purpose here is to fill space.

In other news, the preseason has started, so there is a high chance we'll be spared from filler like this in the immediate future. Yay!

Kelly Dwyer: Celts got the top uniforms of the last 10 years

I never thought much of our uniforms, but apparently KD does. It's interesting that he doesn't mention the green and gold St. Paddy shirts, which I thought were our best kit by far.

James said he sent an e-mail to Howard following Saturday’s game.

"It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them," he said. "I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand."

..says one East scout

Found the following comment at Yahoo:

"Mikki Moore does not fit well with them at all, says one East scout. One of their problems is that Big Baby [Davis] can’t hit a shot outside of five feet. Moore does not help with that. His shot is awful. He can’t pass, he can’t put the ball on the floor. He provides energy, but not much else."

Davis is actually probably better shooting from 15 feet than trying to finish under the basket. It comes as no surprise than then this "scout" has no cluse that Moore actually _can_ shoot. This guy is incompetent.

R.I.P. Helen Heinsohn

Tom Heinsohn's wife Helen, known to those who follow the Celtics on Comcast SportsNet and NBA TV as "the red-head from Needham", lost her battle with cancer yesterday. She was diagnosed with the condition in 2002, and I believe that her condition was the principal reason why Tommy has stopped doing away games as of late.

The thoughts and prayers of the whole Celtics nation should be with our favorite homer right now more than any other time.

Here's a nice article from the Globe archives.
