Syracuse men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim has long been known for being somewhat … irascible? Is that the nicest way to put it? He doesn’t often put things nicely, but because he is an NCAA champion all is usually forgiven. New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony led Boeheim’s team to that championship back in 2003, but Carmelo has had a rough go of things in his ten pro seasons following – only twice making it out of the first round of the playoffs. Most stars that fail to make extended playoff runs can usually blame their lacking teammates for that failed advancement, but they typically tend not to in the newspapers. Why would they, when Jim Boeheim can do the work for them? From the Syracuse Post-Standard , in an interview with Chris Carlson: "Not on that team," Boeheim said. "He did what he can do. He played very well the final game. Everybody's killing him but Tyson Chandler just didn't try to catch the ball. He threw him the ball and Tyson Chandler went like this (Boeheim dodged in a chair in his office in the Carmelo K. Anthony Center). He was wide open. He should have been looking for the ball right here.

Kent police say Boston Celtics basketball player Terrence Williams was arrested Sunday and accused of brandishing a gun at the mother of his 10-year-old son during a visitation exchange. He was booked into the King County Jail in Seattle early Monday for investigation of an assault charge, with a court appearance expected later in the day. Det. Melanie Frasier says the woman called police about 1 p.m. Sunday and said she had been threatened with a gun. Williams had left the scene but was later arrested. No one was injured. Police are withholding other details while the case is under investigation. The 25-year-old Williams is a three-year pro who grew up in Seattle and played for Louisville in college.

The offseason is here for the Boston Celtics, and in just a couple of months, they will begin the process of putting next year’s team together.  We will take a look at the current Celtics and try to figure out what to do with each of them.  We continue today with Jordan Crawford. Leandro Barbosa’s injury was the tipping point for the Celtics this season.  After Rajon Rondo (and Jared Sullinger) went down, they managed to cobble together a nice run with the remaining players.  Barbosa’s added minutes unleashed a little bit of bench offense…… until he too went down with a season-ending ACL injury. Enter Jordan Crawford, brought to the Celtics to fill that void, and possibly help the Celtics find some sort of offensive flow.  He was a starter earlier this season for the Washington Wizards, and had a stretch of double-digit performances in 17 of 19 games (including nine 20+ point games).   The problem is… he shot 41.5% there. That bad shooting followed him from Washington, but the scor...

Kevin Garnett's Boston Celtics Future Hinges on Paul Pierce's Fate

Source: Bleacher Report

Six years ago, and a few weeks after their prayers in the Greg Oden/Kevin Durant sweepstakes went unanswered, the Boston Celtics weren't an attractive place for any marquee player to call home.

Paul Pierce was there, sure, but the rest of the roster was infected with inexperience and far from realized potential.

It was a coddled collection of assets on cheap contracts, led by a much unhappier version of Pierce than the one we've grown accustomed to watching over the past half-decade.

Former Louisville star and current Boston Celtic, Terrence Williams, was arrested yesterday in his home state of Washington. Ever since he was drafted, Williams has always seemed to find trouble in some way, shape, or form. He bounced between three different teams in as many years, always having trouble seeing eye-to-eye with coaches. Of course, he was bounced from the league, forced to play overseas in 2012-13 before signing on with the Celtics on February 10th.  It was a local newspaper in Williams' native state, the Kent Reporter, that broke the news. As all crimes are upsetting to hear about, it was especially unsettling that this was of the domestic violence variety.  At about 1:55 p.m., officers were dispatched to meet the victim who resides in the downtown Kent area. The victim reported that the father of her 10-year-old son in common, identified as NBA basketball player Terrence D. Williams, arrived to her home for a scheduled visitation exchange of their son...

Should Paul Pierce stay or should he go?

The Boston Celtics have got to let him know (to some extent) by June 30. That's the last day on which the C's can buy out the final year of Pierce's contract at a steep discount. Otherwise, they'll be on the hook for the full $15.3 million he's owed for the 2013-14 NBA season.

Unless, of course, Boston opts to ship him out at some point.

There are not many knocks that can be made against the Boston Celtics as a franchise, but the one criticism that holds true over history is that the team has rarely, if ever, been a major player in free agency.

The C's have had more than their share of great players, but the vast majority of them have either come through the draft (Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Paul Pierce, John Havlicek, the immortal Fab Melo) or a trade (Robert Parish, Kevin McHale, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett).

Regardless of whether or not Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce return next year, it's obvious that the two key pieces of the Boston Celtics' future are Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green.

We heard it at the deadline this year as well, only in this rumor (from ESPN's Marc Stein) it was a three-way deal with Memphis that would have sent Gasol to Boston, Pierce to Memphis, and Rudy Gay to LA. In both cases, the deals never got done, with Pierce and Gasol staying put on their respective coasts. However, with both teams coming off disappointing seasons, don't be surprised to hear the rumor mill start to churn again.

He posted averages of 9.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.1 blocked shots and set a D-league record with 14 blocked shots in one game. With the majority of mock drafts suggesting that the Celtics will take a big man, you have to wonder what will become of Fab if their predictions are true.
