KG gets an MVP vote

Boston Celtics Blog | ESPN Boston — With Rajon Rondo lost for the season in late January, few were expecting to find a member of the Boston Celtics on this year's MVP voting. But Kevin Garnett earned a single fifth-place vote, which was enough to tie him for 12th place in the balloting. LeBron James was the near-unanimous choice, receiving 120 of the 121 first-place votes (Carmelo Anthony got the other while finishing third behind James and Kevin Durant), and won his second consecutive MVP award (and fourth in five seasons).

Building blocks - Rondo has help in Green, Bradley, and Sullinger

CelticsBlog — 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. If those two are gone this summer (and barring other large trades), the future is in the hands of Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green, Avery Bradley, and Jared Sullinger. 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...

Stars hardly in alignment for C's

Boston Herald — Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett could still play major roles in a Celtics push for a championship. We honestly believe that.But the key word in the opening sentence is “roles.” As with most things in life, context is king, and the ability of the Celts to surround the Hall of Fame pair with the pieces that would allow them to move to the roles for which they are now better suited is critical to this equation.

What will Danny do? What will he do with Pierce, Garnett, and the rest of the roster?

CelticsBlog — There are dozens of different directions that Danny Ainge could go in this offseason. Run it back, reload on the fly, rebuild around Rajon Rondo, rebuild by trading Rondo and others, tank completely for a shot at Wiggins, or some odd combination of 2 or 3 of those. Everything is on the table, ...everything. It appears that the window has officially been slammed shut. We will not see the Celtics compete for a championship with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett as the best two players on the roster. I'd argue that they probably can't do it with Pierce and Garnett as the 2nd and 3rd best ...

Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett have ‘no idea’ about their futures after Game 6

Green Street | WEEI — It was the obvious question to ask Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in the moments after their season came to an end with a Game 6 loss to the Knicks. Will they be back for another season? “I haven’t really thought about it, to be honest with you. I’m kind of digesting , obviously, the [...]

Celtics' comeback fades in 88-80 loss to Knicks

Pierce, KG consider future after C’s fall

Boston Herald — Doc Rivers has always pulled Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce together, and in another age Ray Allen, to schedule a season-ending meeting.Last night the Celtics coach gestured his two oldest vets over to the side, and made preliminary plans to talk about the future.But never has the future appeared so grainy in this aging era of Celtics basketball. Pierce has said he wants to play beyond this year, though that could leave him in Clippers garb as easily as the green uniform he’s worn his entire professional life.

Final Terry diary: Looking back, forward

Boston Celtics Blog | ESPN Boston — Celtics guard Jason Terry has been keeping a diary for ESPNBoston.com this season. In his final edition, JET explains what went wrong against the Knicks, how the J.R. Smith elbow woke him up, and what he learned from Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. (as told to Louise K. Cornetta) I have mixed emotions about the end of our season, but I am definitely disappointed. You hate to go home with that type of loss when you know you're better than the team in the other locker room.

  • Waiting on news about Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett
    We're waiting! Last week Danny Ainge said something about waiting a week to make calls to guys like Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to "let them breathe" after the season.

  • Floating in limbo, waiting for the Celtics offseason to really get started
    Boy are we spoiled. Ever since Kevin Garnett arrived in town, there hasn't been a lot of waiting around time between the end of our playoff run and the beginning of the offseason. Some years we barely had time to digest the Finals before the draft was knocking on the door. This year, we've got quite a bit of time to wait before the draft begins. In fact, we're out of the playoffs before the lottery order has even been set. That's kind of humbling and frustrating. Even more frustrating because we seem to have a lot of big time decisions that have to be made this offseason and nobod...
  • Into the Mind of Danny Ainge : The Post-Big 3 Era
    Pretend that the Boston Celtics let go of Paul Pierce, and as a byproduct of that move, Kevin Garnett decides to retire.After six memorable years, with a championship win in 2008, the Big 3 era would officially be over. Let that sink in for a moment. The Boston Celtics have had many teams with a "Big 3" over the years, whether or not they were categorized as such at the time. It all started with Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, and Bill Sharman -- which morphed into Bill Russell, Sam Jones, and John Havlicek -- and into the 70s it became John Havlicek, Dave Cowens and Jo Jo White -- then there...
