No more Rondo

Bill Russell at Fenway Park

The Boston Public Library has posted a ton of Leslie Jones basketball photos, including a number of Celtics photos, such as this one of Bill Russell at Fenway in September, 1962 and this one of Bob Cousy with the ball in a 1950s game at the Garden against the Knicks:

Bruins fans like their beer more than Celtics fans

Garden officials revealed that fact at a hearing before the Boston Licensing Board today.

"There's significantly more beer drinking at Bruins games than at Celtics games," one Garden official told the board.

Of course, the officials and their high-priced lawyer from Ropes & Gray did not make their way to the eighth floor of City Hall just to discuss relative beer consumption. They were there to answer a citation issued by Boston Police on April 4 of this year for a drunken 16-year-old holding a beer and creating a disturbance during a Celtics/Spurs game.

Thanking Ray Allen

Jay Fitzgerald says farewell.

Celtics thank fans

Celtics fade away

End of game, end of story.

Jay Fitzgerald pays his respects:

I'm trying to remember the last time a losing Boston sports team garnered as much fan respect as this year's Celtics. The only team I can think of is the 1967 Red Sox "Impossible Dream" team.

Tonight could be greatest Boston sports victory since Varitek split the uprights

Celts over the Heat

Doc Rivers to return

Ryan Hadfield sums up last night's game.

Celtics approaching end of an era?

After last night, Jay Fitzgerald begins to resign himself.

Boston goes 6-0

As Celtics 24/7 notes, the Celtics swept their series, the Bruins went up 3-2 in theirs and the Red Sox dismantled the Angels.

87-85

First one down.

Wild bears in Sudbury!

Shaq discusses his new house in Sudbury (he's enjoying the wild bears out there, he says), Michael Jordan, etc.

Garnett's calf strain a blessing in disguise for Celtics

Matt Goisman makes the case that the benefit is more court time for Glen Davis:

Davis still misses more than he makes, but accuracy is a product of repetition. The more playing time he gets, the more shots he takes. The more shots he takes, the more shots he makes. The more shots he makes, the more his confidence builds. The more his confidence builds, the more shots he makes. We’re already seeing this in Davis’ last two months, where his accuracy jumped from .439 to .471 from November to December.

We look forward to Shaq throwing in relief for the Sox this April

Shaq: Is there nothing he can't do?

Heat not so hot

Shaq realizes calling himself Blackie Bulger might be just a tad offensive

KC Downey considers the the big guy's decision to call himself Blackie Bulger and his subsequent retraction of the idea.

There's something wrong about that score

In the end, though, thanks for getting this far.
