Celtics Morning Joe: Reviewing the cast around Rondo (Part 3)

Some say the evening sunset is the most amazing sight. I will say that watching a basketball player playing at their very best is something that most basketball fans believe is an amazing sight. Rondo has painted many sunsets through the years.

Celtics Morning Joe: Reviewing the cast around Rondo (Part 2)

Chris Wilcox


Wilcox was almost traded this past season. The deal fell through because Wilcox found a loophole with his bird rights. Instead the Celtics used Collins in the deal that brought over Jordan Crawford from the Wizards. Wilcox  underwent major heart surgery...

Celtics Morning Joe: Reviewing the cast around Rondo (Part 1)

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 20, 2013 at 5:00 AM Comments comments (5)



Going into the 2013-14 season the Celtics only have one free agent. That free agent is center Chris Wilcox. All of us believed that Danny built this team with Rondo in mind, and maybe he did, but it didn't pan out that way. Assuming that this is Rondo's team next season. With the current cast and characters do the Celtics ha...

Celtics Morning Joe: Would the Celtics have been better off with Tom Thibodeau?

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 19, 2013 at 5:00 AM Comments comments (4)




There are two sides to every coin, just as there is a before and after. Maybe the coin didn't flip the right way, and maybe the after hasn't been great since the flip of the coin. In the summer of 2010 the Celtics were freshly off of a NBA Finals loss, and the state of the team was up in the ai...

Celtics Morning Joe: Going through the motions

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 15, 2013 at 5:05 AM Comments comments (1)



Possibilities are debated. With no end in sight. For the first time in a long time. The Celtics suffered their earliest playoff exit. The first round exit was the first of it's kind in KG's time in Boston. So with the basketball world still going round, were stuck thinking, and debating until no end. I cou...

Celtics Morning Joe: Buyout pointless with Pierce

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 14, 2013 at 5:05 AM Comments comments (4)





If the Celtics buyout Pierce they get nothing in return, but if they trade him and his 15 million a year deal. They can hopefully bring in a semi young player that can play along Rondo for years to come. The likely hood that a team trades a young star player is unlikely,and especially i...

Celtics Morning Joe: Go big or?

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 13, 2013 at 5:00 AM Comments comments (10)



The theme of this years playoffs for most teams has been the big man game, if it's not that, the teams remaining have a certain toughness inside that the Celtics lacked outside of Kevin Garnett. Having Sully back will be a welcome site in 2013-14, but is it enough? Of course not. The Celtics have an inconsistent big off the ...

Celtics Morning Joe: Staying loyal is the way to go

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 12, 2013 at 5:30 AM Comments comments (12)



Loyalty is the foundation of friendship. When it comes to Pierce and Ainge. I'm not sure if they're friends, but that doesn't mean Ainge needs to turn the other way on Pierce.  Loyalty can be firmer than an iron vise. It's an inevitable

Celtics Morning Joe: Would Tony Allen come back to Boston?

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 11, 2013 at 5:00 AM Comments comments (3)



I wasn't always hot on Tony Allen, but in his final season Tony Allen found his stride, and he was crucial for the Celtics in the second round against James and the Cavs. After the 2010 season, the Celtics and Ainge allowed Allen to leave. That's my view on it. They didn't offer an extra year or something like that, plus I believe Tony was looking for s...

Celtics Morning Joe: Will the Celtics get another crack at Perk?

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 10, 2013 at 5:00 AM Comments comments (5)



The Celtics have lacked a true center since the 2011 season. Do you count Jermaine O'neal from the early part of 2012?  I don't, and Garnett has filled the void since the middle of 2012. We've seen guys like Ryan Hollins, Steamer, Wilcox, and Randolph in the past year. They haven't replaced what Perk brought to this team. But can Perk come back and...

Celtics Morning Joe: What's more important to the Celtics? Winning or saving money?

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 9, 2013 at 5:30 AM Comments comments (2)



It's unclear at this point on what Danny will do. Will Pierce's possible departure come down to money, or will it come down to making the Celtics better. I think it's clear that KG will go if Pierce goes. What's at stake here guys? The loyalty factor goes out the window if Danny drops Pierce,and Kevin. It's a different story if Pierce wants to leave,or ...

Celtics Morning Joe: Do the Bulls have a chance?

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 8, 2013 at 6:00 AM Comments comments (0)



Injured, sick, missing a superstar. What more adversity do the Bulls need to face? The Bulls do not fear James and the Heat. Not for one second. Who would have thought going into the 2013 playoffs that Nate Robinson would be one of the Bulls go to guys? Robinson schooled the Heat in game 1 scoring 27 points,and hitting two b...

Celtics Morning Joe: Moment of hope and inspiration

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 6, 2013 at 5:00 AM Comments comments (4)


Some of us look for inspiration in various ways. It could be a song, or a good book, or stories of great people that endure tough times. Today we face trying times that we call the future. Were still dealing with heartache and pain after losing game 6. Who's over it? I'm not over game 7 against the Lakers three years ...

Celtics Morning Joe: Ainge takes blame for Celtics first round exit

Posted by shawn cassidy on May 5, 2013 at 10:20 AM Comments comments (1)



Is Danny the reason behind the Celtics first round loss to New York? I think you can blame the basketball Gods for taking Rondo out for the season in late January. I think Danny started out this season with good intentions. He replaced Allen with Terry,and he attempted to have both guys in Boston, but Ray was gone shortly af...

Truth is for those who have their heads on right. Games are for those  who are weak in the mind. The Knicks have shown a weakness, mentally,and with executing basketball. I think the mental aspects have hurt the Knikcs more so then actually execut...
