After previously saying he believed Brown’s frustration “lies deeply within the organization,” McGrady said Saturday on NBC’s “NBA Showtime” that Brown had not personally told him he was frustrated with the Celtics.

The annual run-up to the draft is impressively idiotic: everyone draws out mock drafts and figures who is going where, and why…all before the lottery is set. Why bother? You can’t know anything prior to that. It’s fun speculation, and it’s good content, but it’s just speculation. One of the great examples of this is […]

For all his remarkable gifts, Isiah Thomas came along at a tough time in NBA history – well for him, anyway.
