Tweet of the Day: Jason Richardson

by

What’s big in the media right now? Scandal. No, not the popular television show, Rutgers basketball. The Scarlet Knights are making waves Wednesday after firing their head coach Mike Rice. Rice, who appeared in a video on ESPN’s Outside the Lines abusing his players during practice, was terminated by the school today. A few NBA players spoke up about the scandal on Twitter, including Philadelphia 76ers guard Jason Richardson.

I have to applaud the kids on the Rutgers team 4 having self control during those practices. If it was me would of been a diff story on SC.

Richardson may have responded to an abusive coach differently than the Rutgers players (had it happened to him), but

Tweet of the Night: Courtney Lee

by

Did fans throw some hate messages towards Boston Celtics forward Courtney Lee? After suffering a 110-100 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, their second consecutive loss and seventh loss in the last nine games, Lee shared his words of frustration on twitter for whatever impatience he may have heard from writers or fans. Here is what he had to say:

Don't trip about these games we want to win but we're short handed, knock the rust off in time for this post season run!!!

It may sound like an excuse, but Lee has a point: Kevin Garnett, the backbone of the Celtics defense, has

Sheridan: Everybody should be a Bucks fan; Test week for Knicks

by

We have already covered this topic in detail in our latest around-the-NBA column, and it bears repeating here: Everybody who is an NBA fan — and that includes you, too, Celtics Nation — should be hoping the Milwaukee Bucks can catch the Celtics and finish in a tie, at the very least, for seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

Bernucca: After Riley-Ainge tiff, we need Heat-Celtics in playoffs

by

If you are an NBA fan, you should start rooting for the Milwaukee Bucks to snap out of their stupor and the Boston Celtics to stumble down the stretch. Because that will set up the first-round playoff series we all want to see. A slump by the Celtics and a boost from the Bucks over the last 10 or so games would drop Boston into eighth place in the Eastern Conference and a first-round matchup with the Miami Heat. And to paraphrase

Pat Riley drops F-bomb on Danny Ainge

by

Pat Riley dropped an “F-bomb” on Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge. “Danny Ainge needs to shut the f*** up and manage his own team,” the majordomo of the Miami Heat said in a statement of which he clearly took editorial ownership. “He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing, and I know that because I coached against him.” Riley’s missive toward Ainge came after the Celtics GM chastised LeBron James for his claim that the NBA and its officials don’t

Sheridan Hoops Sixth Man Rankings: Week 21

by

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. As cliché as that may be, it’s something that NBA coaches tend to live by in terms of player rotations. However, sometimes things break, and it’s the coach’s job to fix the mess. The Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics both have had to deal with adversity of late and have had to make the tough choice to put their most productive sparks off the bench – Gordon Hayward and Jeff Green, respectively – into the

by

A month of the regular season remains. There is still plenty of basketball to be played and still plenty of chances for teams around the league to solidify their playoff positions. On the other hand, there is a handful of teams whose executives may be forced to look at the draft lottery and beyond, even with about 15 games remaining for most teams. The key players off the bench around the NBA are all over the league. They play for teams competing
