Beating the trade deadline by minutes, a couple of deals have come down the pipe according to tweets by Adrian Wojnarowski at Yahoo Sports:
Boston has agreed to send Kendrick Perkins to OKC for package that includes Jeff Green, sources tell Y!
Houston has traded Shane Battier to Memphis for (Hasheem) Thabeet and a first-round pick, source [...]

Boston Celtics second year star, Delonte West, wants to show you how it’s done, how he rolls with his #1 girl.  In an interview with ESPN’s Louise K. Cornetta of Page 2, Delonte shares his guide to romancing the ladies.  And I must say, the ‘yacht’?  Very nice touch, sir.  Very nice indeed.
With Valentine’s Day [...]

The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers.  They…well, they don’t like each other very much.  So when Boston’s Ray Allen broke the record for career 3-pointers early in the game, LA wasn’t exactly going out of their way to congratulate him.  In fact, it might have given the Lakers that little burst of motivation [...]

Despite sporting an 18-27 record, trailing the Eastern Conference leading Celtics by 17 games and firing their head coach Jim O’brien, the Indiana Pacers have decided to keep former Celtic great Larry Bird on as team president…at least until the end of the season.  Sports Illustrated reports:

It is the season that never seems to end.  There are only 80 games per team, but the post-season in the NBA makes it seem like 160.  So how do good NBA teams keep up their hot runs or bad teams find the the will to get off the snide?  Nobody really knows.  Again, it’s [...]

To complement his growing catalog of cheap shots, Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics decided to punch Channing Frye of the Phoenix Suns directly in the crotch during a jump shot.  Garnett, who looked innocently clueless after the dirty play, was promptly ejected.  Hey, if that’s one of the moves you need to learn to [...]

Not able to watch every NBA game?  Need to get your fix of fast breaks and slam dunks?  Check out this video of the top ten plays of the day from NBA tv.  There’s even a little defense mixed in.  Huh, you say?  Defense…in the NBA?  Who da thunk that?

Kevin Garnett was injured Wednesday night as the Celtics played the Pistons.  But apparently his injury has nothing to do with his reconstructed knee, according to ESPN Boston.  Doc Rivers,  the Celtics head coach, told reporters he’s “not that concerned”:
“I don’t think it’s bad,” said Rivers. “I’m not that concerned. He’s going to miss [...]

The Boston Celtics Paul Pierce took to his Twitter account (@paulpierce34) on Thursday night after the Celtics’ dominating win against the Miami Heat to take a jab at LeBron James and his ill-fated ‘Decision’ this past summer where James infamously stated, “I’m going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.”
In [...]

NBA basketball thug Kevin Garnett, known almost as much for his over-the-top trash talking than his play these days for the Boston Celtics, crossed a line he shouldn’t last night with Detroit Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva when he called him a ‘cancer patient’ based on how he looks during the game.
Villanueva took to his Twitter [...]
