It may just be a preseason game, but it is heated here in Manchester, where the C’s lead 49-48 at the half. Rockets All-Star Tracy McGrady and Celts rookie Bill Walker got into a shoving match towards the end of the first quarter. They had to be pulled apart, and the game was delayed about [...]
Hey, David Willis checking in just before tipoff for the Celtics preseason matchup with the Houston Rockets at the Verizon Wireless Arena. Here are a few observations before the game: Kendrick Perkins is out tonight, but he expects to see his first game action of the year at Cleveland on Tuesday. The center, who underwent [...]
If Saturday’s Red Sox game is dragging on and on, give us a quick look. I’m in Chicago for the rest of the weekend, but David Willis will be in Manchester, N.H., for Celtics-Rockets. He’ll be posting throughout the evening. Enjoy Sox-Rays everybody…
In the absence of Doc Rivers, rookie Bill Walker stole the show in the preseason opener, a 98-92 loss to Philadelphia at the Mullins Center in Amherst.
I’ll be visiting family over the next few days, but keep on coming. There’ll still be updates. That said, my man David Willis talked to Gabe Pruitt recently. With Sam Cassell in Baltimore tending to his grandfather, tonight’s preseason opener could be the showcase young Pruitt needs. From DWill: WALTHAM — When asked recently if [...]

WALTHAM — Apparently, escape from L.A. wasn’t just a putrid sequel starring Kurt Russell. All-Star power forward Elton Brand played Snake Plissken over the summer, leaving the worse-than-the Washington Generals Clippers for the Philadelphia 76ers (5 years, $80 million). With the Celts taking on Philly Wednesday night (7 p.m.) in the preseason opener, Paul Pierce [...]
This isn’t exactly basketball related, but whatever. Here I am, in the press room at Fenway Park. Who’s sitting 15 feet away? Intrepid TBS/TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager. Celtics fans will probably be seeing him a lot this season. “I’ll be there opening night,” he said, chewing on a straw. Boston hosts Cleveland at the [...]
Training camp in Newport, R.I., is over and done with early. The Green will be back in Waltham Tuesday. This isn’t Celtics related at all, but if you’re a big basketball fan, you should get up to our neck of the woods this winter. Central Catholic’s Carson Desrosiers, a 6-foot-2, 220-pound center, is going to [...]
David Willis, my colleague here at Hub Hoops and The Eagle-Tribune, caught up with the always entertaining Eddie House this week. Before we get to that, here’s a couple links to end the week. Can Tony Allen make up for the loss of James Posey? Perk wishes he could be out there with his teammates. [...]
Just a little morning reflection (via my friend Brian, who pointed this out to me recently): At the 2003 McDonald’s All-American game, LeBron James was a man among boys. That much was clear. He wasn’t the only one to emerge that night. Three current Celtics, Leon Powe, Kendrick Perkins and J.R. Giddens were teammates on [...]
