Has Marbury Lost His Swagger? April 22, 2009

Came across this article about Marbury in Newsday:
Marbury should be an effective player for the Celtics. He should give them more scoring off the bench, when Ray Allen needs a breather, and another penetrating guard for those drive-and-kicks that Rajon Rondo has mastered. But the most noticeable issue with Marbury is, after sitting out for [...]

Steph Needs a Number February 25, 2009

We’ve already given him #55 but who knows which digit Stephon Marbury will ask for once he officially signs with the Celtics. Marbury has worn 3 and 33 for his entire career. However, we all know those numbers have been retired to the rafters.
SimonOnSports has some almost-funny suggestions for Mr. Marbury. I clipped a few [...]

Sam Cassell Traded February 17, 2009

ESPN reports the Celtics have shipped Sam Cassell to Sacramento:

The Celtics will send Sam Cassell and cash to the Kings for a future second-round pick. Barring any changes overnight, the deal is expected to be finalized Tuesday afternoon with the league office.
The deal helps the Celtics by removing Cassell’s salary from the team’s luxury-tax computations. [...]

Sam’s Coming Back June 23, 2008

I don’t know if it will be with the Celtics, but Sam Cassell says he’s coming back for another season.
I’m playing next year, playing my 16th year,” Cassell said without hesitation.  “After winning a championship, it’s just so hard to walk away from that.  Certain guys did it, but as I tell the guys, every [...]

Where Was Eddie? May 27, 2008

The Celtics seemed lifeless out there at times last night.  Part of it was the Pistons defense… part of it was a flat out lack of energy and execution.  And while I understand that Sam Cassell’s experience allows him to handle the pressure well… We really could have used Eddie House’s energy for a few [...]

“Run The Play” May 25, 2008

So there we were… 3 and a half minutes to go in the first quarter… and here comes Sam Cassell.  We all knew Doc was going to go to Sam in this spot… and a lot of us feared what would happen. 
12 seconds later…. Sam got a shot blocked by Rip Hamilton [...]

Opening For Eddie May 13, 2008

We have been asking for it… and Doc Rivers may be seeing it as well.  If all Sam Cassell is doing off the bench is shooting rather than running our offense… then we might as well have Eddie House in there.
“As a coach you always have the Sam-and-Eddie question. If Sam is playing well, there [...]

Plenty Of Blame To Go Around May 13, 2008

Everyone wants look for one scapegoat after losing a winnable game on the road… but this one has plenty of them.  Here they are… in no particular order.
Doc Rivers:  I’ve said in the past that we got Sam Cassell…. because we needed a back up point guard.  But I think its time for everyone (Doc) [...]

The Point Guard Question May 11, 2008

The big question out there today has to do with Rajon Rondo and Sam Cassell.  I touched on it this morning… but let’s go into it a little more.  Here’s the theory:
“Doc Rivers is breaking Rajon’s confidence by sitting him extended minutes in favor of a veteran point guard he trusts too much.”
So the question [...]
