Avery Bradley Rumors & News

By Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff Was working on an offseason feature today when a random question popped into my head: If I had to pick between Celtics guard Avery Bradley and Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, whom would I choose?...

This is the time of year where GM's do a lot of window shopping and make sure the stuff they're trying to pawn off on to other GM's are front fixtures of their store. If you haven't heard, the marriage between NO and Eric Gordon hasn't been going well and the long time union between Paul Pierce and Boston might be coming to a close. Naturally, they make for a perfect wife swap right now. The only place this is getting traction right now is in the Twitterverse and in the forums, but here ya go: Just heard strange rumor from EC source: Celtics talking about possibility of Pierce and B...

From Marc D'Amico of Celtics.com: Bradley received 25 total points and 10 First-Team votes during the voting process, which consists of a ballot cast by each of the league's 30 head coaches. A quick look at the balloting results shows how close Bradley was to making the First Team. Only five players in the league received more total points than Bradley's 25.

Congrats, Avery. The Celtics fell...

Paul Pierce has been the face of the Celtics since most of the people reading this post can remember. The winning tradition was restored when Kevin Garnett came into town.

We know, for the most part, what we have in Rondo. He's a star and he's someone that you can build around. Ainge may chose not to, but that's a whole other article. To build around a star, you need building blocks. Sure, it helps to have other stars and s...

Down 26 points in the 4th, it was all over. The Celtics hadn't scored more than 20 points in any quarter and only managed 10 in the first quarter. Yet somehow, improbably, they came almost all the way back. Avery Bradley was an absolute beast. He went from Doc's doghouse to nearly being the hero of the day. His defense turned into transition which turned into easy buckets. The Knicks got tight and the Celtics just kept coming. But the first 3 quarters of inept offense were just too big of a hole to dig themselves out of. The team that refused to die quietly still had to die event...
