Sorry for the delay on this. From the Associated Press: BOSTON — Harry Mangurian Jr., a former owner of the Boston Celtics and renowned horse breeder, has died of leukemia. He was 82. The funeral home handling his arrangements said Mangurian died Sunday. He died at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after an [...]
Darius Miles is gonzo. Yeah he’s had horrific injury problems. Yeah he’s messed up on occasion. But it’s a testament to the state of the Celtics that they were able to jettison him. The guy is still talented. “I had read and heard a lot of (negative) stuff they said that Darius was,” Doc Rivers [...]
The Darius Miles era is over. The Celtics have cut the 6-foot-9, 235-pound forward. “I think we really wanted to give him a shot of hooking on with someone else,” coach Doc Rivers said at practice today, a few minutes after the team made the announcement. “He was great, really.” Rivers said the 27-year-old Miles, [...]
Knicks 104, Celtics 97 The biggest news of the night (eh, it wasn’t exactly earth shattering) came when Rajon Rondo left the game in the third quarter with a sprained right ankle. He didn’t return. The Herald has a good update. The Big 3 made an appearance — Pierce (15 points), Garnett (11 points) and [...]
Here’s a couple links to kick off the weekend: Tony Allen is on fire! Sam Cassell a coach? Happy to hear Delonte West is doing better. Give him credit for his candor. Celts-Knicks underway as we speak…
Finally, a post before noon. So anybody who thinks Bill Walker stinks, I’m sorry. But Frank Martin makes a strong case for the kid. First, before the draft, Martin spoke to Celtics assistant executive director of basketball ops Leo Papile about Walker. Knee surgeries or not, Walker was a player, Martin assured. Apparently, Papile was [...]
Sorry this took so long. Watching Carl Crawford scorch the Red Sox at Fenway Tuesday night tired me out. No clue if it’s actually true — Do you trust Chip Caray? — but I wouldn’t be surprised if UCLA really did offer him a hoop scholarship. The guy can fly. Boston muscle Kendrick Perkins made [...]
Bill Walker is already on Tracy McGrady’s naughty list. But don’t expect the rookie to back down. We caught up with Kansas State coach Frank Martin earlier today. Yes, he gushed about his former player (Martin said the 6-foot-6, 220-pound forward reminds him of a young Larry Johnson). But along with the superlatives came a [...]
Boston takes on Cleveland Tuesday night (7:30) in Pittsburgh. Perk was back at practice today. That’s good news for Celtics fans. James Posey has a soft spot for the Celtics, but seems happy with his decision to move on. Couple notes from around the league. Monta Ellis maybe should’ve put his moped in storage. T [...]
Gabe Pruitt didn’t care it was a preseason game. A game winning-shot is a game-winning shot. And that’s what the second-year guard delivered when he banked home a jumper from the four line to give the Celtics a 90-89 win. “I had to throw it up there and it worked out,” he said. “Coach told [...]
