Just to get the punch line out of the way: Yes. Danny has a plan. Actually - he has more than one plan. But they all lead basically to the same place - rebooting the team as a contender somewhere around 2016.

CSNNE's Jessica Camerato has an excellent piece on Keyon Dooling that discusses his personal life struggles, his reasons for retirement, his role as mentor for so many, dealing with expectations...

Who is the best current Celtic player? Rondo? KG? Paul? Other?

After the Atlanta game, I came onto CelticsBlog and was surprised to see a number of posters offering extreme reviews of the game. Specifically, certain bloggers really amped up their criticisms...

This week Major League Baseball approved a new playoff format that would add a 2nd 'wildcard' team in each league. The two wildcard teams in each league will now compete in a one-game play-off...

I thought it worthwhile to take a look at how the "Big 4" is performing in isolation from the rest of the Celtics. Numbers after the jump.

So at this point, it looks like Danny has probably finished all his moves. There is still a slim chance he may pull something else off, but any further moves become very, very difficult. Not...

In the game thread today (TOR @ BOS, Sep 14, 2011), there was understandably a hell of a lot of anger and stress over losing yet another game with Daniel Bard on the mound.   This is...

In explaining his reasoning for The Trade, Danny Ainge alluded to how well the Celtics had played with players at the 5 other than Kendrick Perkins.  I'm sure then, that many of you have been...

This should be interesting:   http://www.nesn.com/2011/02/report-red-sox-invite-new-zealand-softball-star-te-wara-bishop-to-spring-training.html   Apparently he is quite the athlete so this falls...

Wrapping up the Maroney + Moss + Branch deals so we can see exactly what the New England Patriots got: On Sept. 14 we traded Laurence Maroney and a 6th round 2011 pick to the Denver Broncos for a...

The Celtics summer league 'bench' gave up a huge lead.   They allowed 36 points in the 4th and ended up losing 86-85. Here is the painful box:  h...

I'm not going to post a lot of words here since I only saw about a 3rd of the game.  I thought I'd create this thread for folks to comment on the game. Some things that jumped out at me in this...

According to multiple news sources, Jason Varitek has joined the long list of injured Red Sox with a broken foot.  He's expected to be out 4-6 weeks! h...

I'm kinda sick of many of the 'analyst' sound-bites about Game 7. One that really bites me is the whole "The Celtics lost because they got out-rebounded on the offensive boards!" Well, we did lose....

Elsewhere,  we've all commented on some of the marqui matchups in the wing players, in the backcourt and at SF.  Ray & Rajon versus Kobe & Fisher.  Pierce vs Artest.  Those are huge matchups...

Lately there has been much call and cry about how the Celtic's problems are because they can't rebound. People look at the raw rebound totals ranking every team in the NBA and see the Celtic's at...

I hadn't seen any discussion on OTM about this:   http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/mlb/columns/story?columnist=mcdonald_joe&id=4943324   So I thought I'd create a fanpost for it.    I'll steal...

Amidst all the constant chatter about trades  - big / small / stand pat - I thought it would be useful for folks to look at some of the Celtic's numbers from the pre-all star break. This might...

Everyone is noting how important it was for the Celtics to get some rest after playing 8 games in 12 days.  And clearly there were some obvious signs of tired legs in the last 3 games of that...
