 What About the Coaches?
What About the Coaches?
With all of the talk this summer revolving around Posey, House, Allen, and the shallow free agent pool, not much has been discussed about the return of the Celtics' coaches next season. Not to worry, as it sounds like everyone is expected to return (according to Danny Ainge). From the Globe: Ainge's next order of business will be to settle the contract situations of Rivers and assistants ...

 “He’s Going To Have A Breakout Year”
“He’s Going To Have A Breakout Year”
"What if I beg? Will that bring old Tony back?" (Boston Globe Photo) Let’s hope so. I’m not sure what can be said about Tony Allen that hasnt’ been said. He’s getting $5 mil. over 2 years… and he’s either going to be a steal or a bona fide bust by the time the contract is over. I don’t see any real middle ground, because we’ve ...

 O'Bryant Anecdote
O'Bryant Anecdote
A lot of what this team still needs depends upon how good Patrick O'Bryant really is this year. If he can't give us productive minutes backing up Perk, we're stuck with smallball and forcing KG to guard centers. If he can develop into a solid option, that shores up the 4 and 5 positions quite nicely. Is Danny ready to roll the dice on that chance? Not just yet.

 Overreaction to Losing Posey
Overreaction to Losing Posey
Here's John Hollinger's take on the Posey deal : It's true that Posey brings three things to the table: defense, rebounding and 3-point shooting. He's not an all-defense guy, but he's an above-average defender who can play multiple positions, and that's certainly helpful. So are the 3s -- in his past three campaigns he's hit 40.3 percent, 37.5 percent and 38.0 percent from downtown. And ...

 Got It, Need It
Got It, Need It
When I was growing up, like a lot of kids I collected baseball cards. I'd open up a package of 1987 Topps and flip through the cards thinking got it, got it, got it, need it, got it, need it, etc. (I was sure that that Mark McGwire rookie card was going to be worth a fortune 20 years later). This point in the offseason feels a little like that. We have some holes in our lineup due to free ...
