In spite of it being fairly quite in the Celtics Nation, the blogs and Celtics fans are still active. Jon Duke over at Boston Sports Media has been busy welcoming a new Celtics fan into the world. Congratulations to Jon and his wife on the birth of his first son, William. What a handsome little boy!! Better start teaching him to play defense now.

Jeff over atCeltics Blog is taking a look at all Al is doing to get into shape this season and is very happy about it.

Cheap Seats over at Celtics Blog is still running tryouts for writers. The latest one takes a look at how Theo Ratliff might be able to help us this year.

Matt at the Perkolaters has discovered the face recognition software at myheritage.com and had some fun finding look alikes for Perk. I sure wouldn't want to have to tell him he looks like Ella Fitzgerald...

JB over at Celticsstuff Live reminds us that basketball is entertainment and some of us need to lighten up a bit. Koolaid drinker that I am, if I lightened up any more, I would end up in the stratosphere. But, he has a point. There is way too much negativism on the Celtics boards these days.

I Heart Celtics takes a look at what very well might be our starting line up. Good analysis of the players and the lineup.

Red's Army hits the headlines about Harrington going to Indy, the And 1 Tour, and our mutual favorite Leon Powe's basketball camp.

There may not be much in the mainstream media, but as long as there are fans and blogs, we will always have something to read.
