It sounds as if Celtics director of basketball operations Danny Ainge has been listening to one of those self-improvement tapes that repeat positive mantras. The message? &quot;I am happy with my roster. I am happy with my roster.&quot; It's clear he will go to great lengths (or is that great pains?) to convince fans and reporters that he is comfortable ...

Reviewing tape of a recent Grizzlies game, Celtics coach Doc Rivers was reminded of his days playing in Atlanta.

If Ray Allen plays as well as he talks, the Celtics will be a very happy group next season. Right now, there's no reason to believe he won't, given his history on and off the court.

The Detroit Pistons are pretty good, sure, and no one wants to celebrate a loss by the home team, but the way the Celtics are winning of late, it's pretty safe to plan your post-game party ahead of time. May we suggest the Boston Celtics Post-Game Party at The Harp? You'll have the chance to meet the Celtics dancers (probably ...

On the recent rare occasions when opponents have trailed the Celtics, the casual conversation during timeouts probably has been similar whether the Atlanta Hawks, Miami Heat, or Detroit Pistons have been doing the talking. No team wants to enter the books as the opponent that ended Boston's franchise-record losing streak. Just as a team on a long winning streak motivates ...

He's not among the team leaders in points or minutes, two areas that Raef LaFrentz could well improve on as the NBA season moves along. But here's where he is undeniably at the top of the list for the Celtics: relief. He's playing, he's playing reasonably well (&quot;hot and cold,&quot; according to coach Doc Rivers), and he's playing ...

OK, there's the Pistons in the Palace tomorrow night. That's no day at the beach. But after that, well, it looks like the Celtics have a good chance to make up some ground in the not-so-hot Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference.

While dealing with a three-game losing streak on the West Coast, the Celtics enjoyed the benefits of youth yesterday.

With 25 games remaining in the season, the Celtics have nothing to play for other than ping-pong balls, but that's not something coach Doc Rivers will attempt to sell his young team. Instead, he's motivating the players by focusing on improvement in practice and challenging them to play the role of spoiler.

As the Celtics begin their second major trip west against the Sacramento Kings tonight, it seems somewhat pointless to speculate about how many games they will win (maybe one of five; two if they're very lucky). The second time around these parts should prove tougher than the first, with the Suns, Lakers, Jazz, and Rockets also on the ...

The post-All-Star-break Celtics look a lot like the pre-All-Star-break Celtics. Injury-plagued. Turnover-prone. Inconsistent.

Once again down the stretch, there was the sound of 15,000 people squirming in their seats. The Celtics had led the hottest team in basketball from the first quarter last night. They'd been up by 22 points with 11:08 to play. And now, with the spread down to 10, everybody was thinking the same thing: Can these guys blow it ...

George Karl's first win with the Denver Nuggets was especially satisfying because it came against his former team.

Tony Allen made a surprise appearance in the Celtics' locker room last night. It was his first visit to TD Banknorth Garden since he blew out his left knee three weeks ago.

Given the state of affairs in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics aren't ready to brag about their recent accomplishments. But for the record, Boston has become the hottest team in the East, not so quietly climbing the standings with a combination of resiliency, youthful energy, and veteran leadership.

The Celtics became the first member of the NBA's 40-and-over club last night.
