The top 3 picks in the draft always receive the most attention every year. Last year, we saw Blake Griffin, Hasheem Thabeet, and James Harden get drafted in the first three picks. Surprisingly, none of these guys were the most successful players of this class. This year, the Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers, and New Jersey Nets have a shot to select the top three picks. Who should each team pick? ...

Inconsistencies. Both teams in this series have them. Both teams were kicked out of the playoffs early last year. Both teams have young rising stars. Both teams have aging stars. These teams are evenly matched talent-wise. It will come down to who comes into the series with the right attitude. For the past two years, the Celtics have gotten a rough start to their playoffs. Many of the series went seven ...

Now that the NBA regular season is officially over, we will be hearing about the playoffs constantly.

The Eastern Conference has been known for the past decade for being a shallow conference. This year, the top four teams in the East are all capable of reaching the NBA Finals. However, each team has its flaws and some of the potential first round matchups could expose them. Teams like Charlotte, a first time playoff team, and Milwaukee, a team that has not been to the playoffs in a while, ...

'Celtics Offseason Targets' is a new series of articles that will be running periodically from now until the offseason kicks off.

In today's edition, it is former-Boston College power forward Craig Smith Quick, think of four teams that you as a Celtics fan fear playing?  Do you have them? ...

The "bust" label is one of the harshest nickname in sports. Nobody wants to be blamed for wasting millions of dollars for never reaching expectations. Every year, there is at least one player who lets down the franchise that drafted them. Every team has had their busts. Some teams know how to avoid busts better than others. For example the San Antonio Spurs and the Utah Jazz have very few ...

It's hard not to like a franchise that has won 17 championships. Each of those banners was from different time periods and featured many great players. From naturals to hard workers, the Celtics have had nearly every type of great player a franchise could ask for. The Larry Bird era, the Bill Russell era, and the Paul Pierce era all feature great players who filled in for the flaws of ...

With all of the focus on college basketball these days, the NBA had a very exciting week. Playoffs continue to get closer and closer, and the future of franchises can be decided in these next few weeks. Teams are fighting for playoff berths and home court advantage.

For a year with such a dull dunk contest, there has not been a letdown when it comes to in-game dunks. It makes one wonder whether they should put defenders in the dunk contest. In this slideshow you will see plenty of Nuggets, Derrick Rose, and little guys dunking on big guys. My criteria for the order is based on difficulty, vertical leap, and embarrassment of opponent.

While watching the Boston Celtics play the Memphis Grizzlies last night, I could not stop myself from repeatedly wondering why the Celtics were losing.  Age, free-throw shooting, and coaching came to mind. However, I still cannot figure out that last piece that is missing.  Last night, my father asked, "At this point in the season, would you trade Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins for Marc Gasol and Hasheem Thabeet?"
