Every Boston Celtics player appearance on ‘Shaqtin’a Fool’ since 2011

Watch the clip to see the worst (or at least the funniest) of the Celtics over the last decade and a year.

While it might not be an honor to appear on former Boston Celtics big man Shaquille O’Neal‘s “Shaqtin a Fool” segment on TNT’s “Inside the NBA,” a fair number of Boston players making a guest appearance over the years. The segment, for the uninitiated, is effectively the blooper reel of the dumbest, funniest or weirdest things Shaq and company caught on video that week.

Now, YouTuber and Celtics fan videographer Danielle Hobeika put together an all-time compilation of when Celtics players made the show. The list includes Rajon Rondo, Mikael Pietrus, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Kris Humphries, Vitor Faverani, Kelly Olynyk, Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Isaiah Thomas, Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, Al Horford, Gerald Green, Jayson Tatum, Daniel Theis, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, and Glen “Big Baby” Davis.

Watch the clip embedded below to see the worst of Boston over the last decade and a year — and try not to drink anything while you watch it.

Will Doc Rivers or Terry Rozier change the balance of power in the NBA’s Eastern Conference?

Will either of these moves help the Bucks or Heat beat Boston?

The Boston Celtics have a commanding lead over the rest of the NBA’s Eastern Conference at more than halfway through the league’s 2023-24 season. And their dominance is such that their competitors are starting to look to a number of Celtics alumni to help them sort out their current lack of oomph in the East.

The Miami Heat just traded for former Celtics Terry Rozier, sending Kyle Lowry to purgatory that is the Charlotte Hornets. That went poorly in the early going, but perhaps there might be more there in the postseason. The Milwaukee Bucks just hired head coach Doc Rivers to replace another Boston alum (as a player), outgoing Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin.

Will either of these moves help the Bucks or Heat beat Boston? The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Talkin’ Them Celtics!” podcast took a closer look at both on a recent episode.

Check out the clip above to hear what they had to say.

On this day: Bird goes for 30 vs. Clippers; Rozier gets 31 vs. Hawks

On this day in Celtics history, Larry Legend hung 30 points on the San Diego Clippers, and Scary Terry put up 31 points on the Atlanta Hawks.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, Hall of Fame small forward Larry Bird hung 30 points on the (then) San Diego Clippers (now, Los Angeles) for the Celtics back in 1983.

Still just a few years removed from swapping franchises with the owner of the Celtics and moving west from Buffalo (a very long and odd tale we highly recommend you get up to speed on if not already aware), New York in their previous incarnation of the Braves. The Clippers played Boston at the old Boston Garden with future Celtic Bill Walton and lost the road game. 120-110.

Bird’s 30 points and 6 rebounds were no small part of the reason, with Larry Legend going 10-of-18 from the field to seal the deal for the home team.

Bulls star DeMar DeRozan comments on Kyle Lowry-Hornets trade

After the Miami Heat-Terry Rozier trade that sent Kyle Lowry to the Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan commented.

As the Chicago Bulls get ready to take on the challenge of the trade deadline, they won’t be the only Eastern Conference team looking to make moves. In fact, some squads around the East have already begun to shake things up. The New York Knicks traded for OG Anunoby, the Indiana Pacers landed Pascal Siakam, and most recently, the Miami Heat made a deal for Terry Rozier.

In the Rozier trade, Miami sent Kyle Lowry and a protected first-round pick in 2027 to the Charlotte Hornets. Lowry and Bulls star DeMar DeRozan are best friends from their days playing together on the Toronto Raptors. Following the trade, DeRozan supposedly spoke to Lowry.

Per Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune, DeRozan said that Lowry talked to him before the move was made official.

“It sucked,” DeRozan said of the Lowry trade. “He called me early in the morning. Let me know before it came out. What was going on.”

DeRozan also noted that Lowry wasn’t too thrilled to be traded to Charlotte.

“No, of course not,” DeRozan said when asked of Lowry was thrilled to be heading to the Hornets.

His main focus right now is being there for his friend.

“But I think, for me, it flips to being there for him more so as a friend,” said DeRozan. “More than anything. For me, basketball goes out the window. Even last night, I just texted him before I went to sleep. Asked him how he was feeling mentally. That’s all I care about first. But everything else will work its way out.”

It seems unlikely that Lowry ever suits up for the Hornets, meaning he could be on the buyout market post-trade deadline if he’s not moved again.

Could the Miami Heat challenge the Boston Celtics in the East after trading for Terry Rozier?

Just how much better is Miami with the former Boston guard?

Could the Miami Heat challenge the Boston Celtics in the NBA’s Eastern Conference after trading for former Celtics guard Terry Rozier? We will soon get our first taste of the new-look Heat as the Celtics are set to square off with Miami for the first time since dealing for the Louisville alum.

Just how much better is Miami with the former Boston guard? This was the topic of the latest episode of the CLNS Media “The Big Three NBA” podcast, which caw hosts A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani A. Lunis cover major NBA developments like the Rozier trade and its impact.

In addition to the Rozier news, they touch on the Milwaukee Bucks’ firing of Adrian Griffin, and debate which team, Miami or Milwaukee, is a bigger threat to the Celtics.

They also consider if Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis are All-Stars and if the Celtics need a significant win against the Heat. Check it out above!

Does Doc Rivers and Terry Rozier moving teams affect the Celtics?

How much does Doc Rivers moving to the Milwaukee Bucks and Terry Rozier moving to the Miami Heat affect the Boston Celtics?

Doc Rivers is the new head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. The Miami Heat has acquired Terry Rozier. Both are former members of the Boston Celtics and now are with rival teams. It’s fitting that both players moved to rival teams during rivals week. However, with Milwaukee and Miami both looking to contend this season, the potential dynamic shift in the Eastern Conference is interesting.

In a recent episode of the “Green With Envy” podcast, hosts Adam Taylor and Will Weir discussed both moves. They examined whether Rivers can improve the Bucks’ struggling defense and get more production out of Damian Lillard. And whether Rozier can help improve a Heat offense that has stuttered to begin the season.

Neither move is likely to impact the balance of power in the Eastern Conference significantly, but it does give both teams a boost, and that could impact the way the seeding shakes out at the end of the season.

Does the Terry Rozier trade help the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics?

The Heat trade for Scary Terry will absolutely raise Miami’s floor. But the backcourt is a sight for a hungry offense’s eyes.

Former Boston Celtics draft pick Terry Rozier has officially been traded from the Charlotte Hornets to the Miami Heat for veteran heat floor general Kyle Lowry. The deal will put the Louisville alum in a position to be a major pest for his former team for the rest of the regular season into the 2024 NBA Playoffs but also begs questions to whether the Heat are done making moves.

The Heat trade for Scary Terry will absolutely raise Miami’s floor, his passing and scoring in particular helping address two areas the team has struggled with in an injury-laden campaign. But a defensive backcourt of Rozier and Tyler Herro or Duncan Robinson is sure to be a sight for a hungry offense’s eyes.

Does the Terry Rozier trade help the Miami Heat beat the Boston Celtics?

CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning recently weighed in on this question on an episode of the “Garden Report” podcast — check it out above!

Woj: Former Celtics guard Terry Rozier dealt to the Miami Heat

The Boston Celtics will find they have a tougher path to the 2024 NBA Finals after a conference rival traded for former Celtics combo guard Terry Rozier.

The Boston Celtics will find they have a tougher path to the 2024 NBA Finals after a conference rival traded for former Celtics combo guard Terry Rozier per new reporting from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. According to Woj, the “Charlotte Hornets are trading Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat for a 2027 first-round pick and Kyle Lowry.”

The Heat appear to be tired with their struggling to tread water in the lower range of the playoff seeding while dealing with what has been a revolving door of injuries to key players this season. Rozier is currently putting up a career-high 23.2 points and 6.6 assists per game, and should breathe new life into a faltering Heat season.

The Hornets reportedly do not plan to cut Lowry, and instead hope to use his $29.6 million contract to trade for another deal before the Feb. 8 deadline.

The Miami Heat projected starting lineup after the Terry Rozier trade

Here’s a look at Miami’s projected starting lineup with Terry Rozier

The Miami Heat are taking quite the swing here in acquiring Terry Rozier.

The Heat traded Kyle Lowry and a 2027 first-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Rozier.

Rozier is averaging nearly 24 points per game with a 57 percent True Shooting mark. He’s not an All-Star by any means, but he’s certainly a talented point guard who’s going to bring a bit more pop to an offense that desperately needs it.

This is why the Heat so desperately wanted Damian Lillard this offseason. Kyle Lowry is still a useful player, but his offense has been off and on so far this season. Rozier should bring some consistency the Heat need. In some respects, he’s been comparable to Lillard.

This is a good swing for the Heat to take. Here’s what Miami’s projected starting lineup will look like when the team is completely healthy after the trade.

Terry Rozier, Kyle Lowry trade grades: Who won the deal between the Heat and Hornets?

Who won this NBA deal between the contending Heat and rebuilding Hornets?

The 2024 NBA trade deadline is a couple of weeks away, but we’ve already seen some deals coming long before it.

This time, we’ve got a veteran point guard swap, with one contender looking to upgrade and the other looking to tank a bit — the Miami Heat (with rumors swirling that they were thinking about moving Kyle Lowry) and the Charlotte Hornets made a deal on Tuesday involving Terry Rozier. Without spoiling too much, this one makes sense for both of the franchises involved.

As usual, we’re grading the deal. Who won and lost? Let’s break it all down for both sides.
