Bill Walker - Overshadowed — LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog
ESPN the Magazine has a great article on the Celtics second round pick, Bill Walker. It really makes you want to pull for this guy. Just as with Leon Powe, his promise was curtailed by injuries. Hopefully, Walker's story will have as good a result as Powe's has so far. Here is a a little taste of what the article has to say: Late in Kansas State's loss to Oregon in November, Bill Walker ...

So, Who is J.R. Giddens Anyway? — Sports of Boston
During the 2007 NBA Draft, Danny Ainge began his magical offseason and before the night was done, the Celtics had acquired Ray Allen and Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis for Jeff Green, Delonte West, and Wally Szczerbiak. That, as everyone now knows, led to the acquisition of Kevin Garnett and the eventual NBA Champion rolling rally in Boston.
The celebration from the 2007-2008 season may ...

A Couple of Steals for C’s? — Comcast SportsNet New England » Wicked Good Sports
Your World Champion Boston Celtics (man it is fun writing that) entered the 08 NBA Draft a lot differently than what they went through just one year ago. In 2007, Celtics fans were trying to overcome the bad-bounce-of-the-lottery-balls-again headache hangover…this year, a 17th Banner "it was all worth it" hangover. The C’s took a gamble selecting JR Giddens with the 30th ...

I Like Our Draft — RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans
I’m not going to speak for Chuck here, but the more I read about the guys we picked up, the more I like what Danny did. Maybe part of it is “In Danny I Trust”… because I know I didn’t watch any New Mexico games last season.
But to hear the JR Giddens story told… he’s got lottery pick talent with a questionable attitude. Well, we’ve got 3 ...
Draft Night Wrap Up — RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans
