|Doc Rivers: 'Silly' to think Celtics might be better without Rajon Rondo
|01.31.13 at 10:07 am ET
Doc Rivers made his weekly appearance on the Dennis & Callahan Show Thursday, the morning after the Celtics beat the Kings, 99-81, at TD Garden for their second straight win after six consecutive losses.
"In spurts, last night, we played well," Rivers said of the victory over the struggling Kings, who beat the Celtics handily on December 30.. "The second quarter was as well as you can play. When you win games you would have to say, yeah, it's going well."
The Celtics are now 2-0 since losing Rajon Rondo for the season with an ACL tear in his right knee. A vocal minority have speculated that perhaps this team might be better off without the services of the All-Star point guard, a notion the coach dismissed quickly on Thursday.
"That's silly," Rivers said. "The bottom line is that you'd rather have him. But we do have other guys that can do different things. Having Courtney Lee and Avery [Bradley] gives you size at the guard spot. They are more physical guards so in that way that helps. Everybody does different things and that's basically who we are now."
Rivers was asked if other players might view the loss of Rondo as a chance for a greater opportunity to contribute to the team for the rest of this season.
"I don't know, I just think more minutes helps anybody," Rivers said. "We lost six games in a row and I thought it was time to start playing better. We did play well against Chicago, we just didn't win a game. We played well against Atlanta and then lost the game. I thought we were starting to play better anyway, and that was with Rondo."
With the February 21 trade deadline looming, there have been rumors that the Celtics might make a major trade that would signifiy the start of a rebuilding process for this franchise. Rivers, though, is hopeful that Danny Ainge doesn't feel the need to make such a deal.
"I think Danny likes our team, I think he thinks we can be good with what we have and I think Danny is Danny. He's got to do his job, he has to keep looking and see if he can help the team. But there's been no talk about pulling the plug or anything like that. … We're not out there searching."

|Doc Rivers: KG didn't make comment to Anthony
|01.10.13 at 10:29 am ET
Doc Rivers made his weekly appearance on the Dennis & Callahan show Thursday, the morning after the Celtics won their season-best fourth straight game after a 87-79 victory over the Suns. The Celtics are now 18-17 on the season and 4-1 since the return of Avery Bradley.
"I think we're turing the corner, I think we're playing better," Rivers said. "I didn't think we played great last night, but defensively we were really good because Phoenix is a really good offensive team. … But overall I like how we are trending."
Jared Sullinger had an outstanding performance in the win over the Suns, scoring 12 points and establishing a career best with 16 rebounds, his second double-double of the season. Rivers was asked what has impressed him most about the rookie this season.
"He plays the game with a great temperament," Rivers said. "He's intense, but he doesn't get too high or low with his emotions on the floor. He played for a coach, his dad was a coach and you can see the basketball IQ, he knows how to play, how to think the game. What he's improved on is his consistent focus, and he plays beyond his years."
Rajon Rondo was suspended for Monday's win over the Knicks for making contact with official Rodney Mott in the third quarter of last Saturday's game in Atlanta (he was also suspended, according to the NBA, for failing to cooperate with a league investigation of the incident). Rivers was asked if he felt the suspension — the fourth in 11 months for Rondo — was justified.
"He did something wrong, but he didn't do enough to get suspended would be a better way of putting it," Rivers said. "When you walk up on a ref you put yourself in a position to get a technical or be suspended. Now, you could see when you watch it, the official was walking toward him as he was walking toward the official. They just kind of ran into each other, it wasn't as if Rondo bumped him."
Hawks general manager Danny Ferry was fined $15,000 by the NBA for what was called "inappropriate interaction with game officials" after the Celtics game last Saturday. It has been reported that Ferry approached the officials after the game and handed them a DVD of the incident between Mott and Rondo.
"I don't like it, but it's his choice," Rivers said of Ferry's actions. "I just don't like it, especially in a game like that, it wasn't the reason they lost. To me, it's sour grapes and I don't like that."
As for the fallout from the post-game controversy from Monday's game against the Knicks, Rivers was quick to deny the now infamous story involving Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony, La La Vazquez and a certain breakfast cereal.
"I know what's being reported did not happen. I know that as a fact," said Rivers. "You know how this works, a guy does something crazy like Carmelo did, and the way to get of trouble is to say someone else said this. It happens all the time. And what bugs me about this is that this is not a Kevin Garnett issue. And it was made into one and it shouldn't have been made into one."

|Reports: Carmelo Anthony confronts Kevin Garnett after game
|01.08.13 at 6:25 am ET
According to a report on ESPNNewYork.com, Carmelo Anthony approached the Celtics locker room on Monday at Madison Square Garden moments after the Celtics 102-96 win over the Knicks. Building security and New York City police officers were called upon later as Anthony attempted to approach Kevin Garnett near the Celtics' team bus, sources told ESPNNewYork.com.
Anthony was evidently still angry after being involved in an exchange of elbow-throwing with Garnett in the fourth quarter, actions that led to technical fouls for both players. After the game, Anthony walked off the floor and out of the tunnel that visiting teams use, instead of exiting out of the Knicks' tunnel. A source told ESPNNewYork.com that Anthony approached the Celtics' locker room and was screaming, though it wasn't known if the screaming was directed at Garnett.
A video at CSNNE.com shows Anthony waiting for Garnett near the Celtics' team bus. A shouting match between the two reportedly ensued, with Knicks coach Mike Woodson coming to the scene to take Anthony away.
Anthony refused to speak to the media after the game, and Garnett downplayed the incident.
"Listen, heat of the battle, man. Guys go back and forth. He's trying to get his team to go, I'm trying to get my team to go, both teams are colliding, not to mention that it's the Knicks and the Celtics," Garnett said. "Just what it is, man."

|Danny Ainge in The Big Show: 'I was not trying to trade Rajon Rondo'
|01.06.12 at 8:27 am ET
In his weekly interview with WEEI's The Big Show, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge discussed the surprising start to Greg Stiemsma's career, the maturation process of Rajon Rondo and a possible debut date for Mickael Pietrus.
Stiemsma, a 26-year-old former Defensive Player of the Year in the D-League for Sioux Falls Skyforce, has emerged as a legitimate NBA center early in his career. Ainge was asked about Stiemsma's performance.
"He's played very well from the first day of training camp," said Ainge of Stiemsma, who is averaging 4.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in his first five NBA games. "He's been a positive influence on our team, our coaches have really liked him, he earned their respect right away. He's been good."
Ainge was asked if he was ever concerned that Rondo would be at all affected by the rumors that had the point guard potentially being swapped for Chris Paul.
"I sat down with Rondo when he got back into town, when the lockout ended, and I just told him the truth of what was going on. And that was it," Ainge said. "I've had conversations since, told him exactly what was happening. '¦ I was not trying to trade Rajon Rondo. There's a big difference between trying to acquire a player and trying to trade a player. Rondo knows what I was trying to do, and he knows I wasn't shopping him around and trying to trade him, as has been reported. There's a big difference."
As for Rondo's early-season performance (15.3 points per game, league-best 10.7 assists per game), Ainge credits the point guard's work ethic during the lockout.
"I think that that he was very motivated, we had received reports all summer how hard he was working this offseason," said Ainge. "He showed up in great shape and he came out of the gates playing fantastic basketball for us, and he had a great training camp and he has the right mindset when he goes out on the court."
Ainge also told Glenn Ordway and Michael Holley that Mickael Pietrus (knee surgery) could debut for the Celtics next Wednesday vs. the Mavericks at the Garden.

|Could the third time be the charm for Larry Brown and the Celtics?
|07.25.11 at 7:12 am ET
Larry Brown is 70 years old. He's the only coach in history to win an NCAA title and NBA title as a head coach. He's the only coach in history to take eight teams to the NBA playoffs. He's been in the Hall of Fame for nine years. There is literally nothing left to prove.
But Larry Brown still wants to coach. And it's easy for you and me to wonder what it is exactly that makes a 70-year-old man with tens of millions of dollars and an already cemented place in history want to get on a plane and fly to Milwaukee on a Tuesday in February, but we see it all the time. It never ends — Don Nelson is 71 years old, lives about three yards from the ocean in Hawaii and is hoping to get back into the mix as the coach of the Timberwolves, who have won a total of 32 games in the last two seasons.
Since being resigned to resignation (pretty sure he wasn't going to be offered an extension by MJ) last December after a mediocre two-plus years in Charlotte, which followed his bizarre one-year disaster with the Knicks, Brown hasn't been seen a serious candidate for any NBA head-coaching gigs and has even been dismissed when trying to land a job in college (Brown was interested in UNLV, Missouri, Oklahoma and Penn State openings but was never viewed as a legitimate candidate for any of those jobs).
So now — with thanks to a report from the very great Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports — it appears that Brown would very much be happy to give up leading man status and take on a juicy character part as lead assistant coach and de facto defensive coordinator under Doc Rivers.
Assuming that Lawrence Frank is indeed going to get the Pistons job — which strikes me as a sure way to end up as a color analyst on NBA TV in 2013 — the Celtics are going to need to fill the Tom Thibodeau/Frank role. And why not Brown, universally recognized as one of the top defensive minds of his (or any, really) generation? And, hey, didn't Larry Brown coach one Glenn Rivers with the Clippers in 1992? It almost makes too much sense not to happen, right?
|Don't blame the Kendrick Perkins trade for 2-0 hole and other off-day thoughts
|05.04.11 at 10:36 pm ET
I'm going to steal from the great Paul Flannery and take his Three-Pointer gimmick for a spin. Stealing from Paul has turned into the norm, unfortunately, as the best Celtics beat writer in town had his computer and all his luggage stolen from the trunk of his car while having lunch (at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Factory — I know) before Game 2 in Miami on Tuesday. He's OK, though (turns out it's much easier to fly when all you have to carry is a CVS bag), and will be ready to go for Game 3.
But will the Celtics? Here's three thoughts still kicking around after the first of three off-days '¦
(Oh, one more Flannery item before we get started. Bill Russell, as you have no doubt heard by now, will finally get a statue in his honor. Clearly the suggestion from President Obama that it was time for Boston to put up a Russell statue is the major reason why it happened, but it was Paul's terrific column in Boston magazine last November that got the conversation started.)
1. Here's why the Celtics are down 2-0 to the Heat: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have a total of 147 points through two games. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett have a total of 87. That's it. Not the refs, not Kendrick Perkins, not James Jones outscoring the Celtics' bench by himself in Game 1.
Nope, if the Celtics are going to find a way to get back to Miami at 2-2 — which is a must for any chance to win this series — Allen/Pierce/Garnett have to give you more than we saw in Game 1 and Game 2. Allen was very good in Game 1, a non-factor in Game 2. Pierce was terrible in Game 1, hurt and terrible again in Game 2. Garnett had a six-minute stretch in the third quarter of Game 2 where he made five consecutive field goals. Other than that he's 6-of-24 through two games.
Listen, no one thought Pierce or Allen was going to outplay LeBron or Wade in this series, and Garnett was probably a slight edge over Bosh. But for these three guys — particularly Allen and Pierce — to have been so dominated in Miami is troubling at best. In the four regular season games between the two teams the Miami Big Three averaged a total of 56.6 points per game, the Boston Big Three 54.1. Now that's deceiving — Wade only averaged 12.8 per game, not fair to expect that — but the Pierce/Allen/Garnett trio simply have to match their regular-season output or this series will be over in four or five games.
2. I know he scowls a lot, and looks exactly the way you want a center to look, and his team is still in the playoffs so you get to that blast of nostalgia when you watch him every couple of nights, but if Kendrick Perkins was on the Celtics this series would still be two-zip, Miami. Hard to digest for the "Heart and Soul of the Defense" flag-wavers, but it's true. Kendrick Perkins is averaging 4.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in the playoffs (by the way, if you do a Google search on "4.4 points per game" the first match is Alexander Johnson's Wikipedia page. Johnson played 102 games in two NBA seasons, averaging his 4.4 points. He's now with the Sioux City Skyforce of the D-League).
And the notion that Perkins would be a threat in the middle with his defense against Wade and James doesn't have any statistical backing. Perkins is averaging 0.6 blocks per game in the playoffs, and Oklahoma City has allowed at least 100 points in both games of the Memphis series. And Perkins was on the court last year in the first round against the Heat when Wade averaged 33.2 points.
Jermaine O'Neal has been a better player than Perkins in this postseason (6.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.6 blocks) in seven fewer minutes per game. And let's take it easy with the intangibles angle. Much is being made now about Perkins "teaching" the Thunder how to win. It's easy to be an intangibles guy on a team with Westbrook and Durant — if Perkins has been traded to Minnesota who would never hear from him again. This isn't fair to Perkins — who was a solid role player for team that needed him — but he isn't a good enough player to swing a playoff series.
3. Even down 2-0, even with the injuries to Allen, Rondo, Pierce and Shaq, this will be the best chance this team will have to beat the Heat in a playoff series. Think about it: Miami is only going to get better. Wade and James are right in the middle of their primes and are two of the three or four best players in the world, and Bosh is a 17-9 guy also in his prime. Think those three are going to get worse or better after playing together for a full season? There isn't much cap room for Miami, but the lure of winning plus the city itself should mean a decent pool of veterans to pick from each year. The Celtics are where the late 80's Celtics were — enough talent to win but maybe too many miles on the tires. And once little brother gets past the bully — think Celtics over 76ers, Pistons over Celtics and Bulls over Pistons — it almost never reverts back.
|What to watch for in Game 2: More Kevin Garnett and hello to Joey Crawford
|05.03.11 at 11:46 am ET
MIAMI — Tough to imagine this Celtics team winning 4-of-5 against the Heat, a team that did win 28 games on the road this season, so here are three things to watch for in a Game 2 that is really close to must-win territory …
(1). Doc Rivers made it clear on Monday that the Celtics are going to get Kevin Garnett (3-of-9, six points in Game 1) more involved in the offense in Game 2. They went to Garnett on Chris Bosh early — in fact on each of the Celtics' first two possessions — but failed to continue to focus on a matchup that the Celtics feel is an advantageous one.
'Kevin is one of our featured scorers and I didn't think we did a good job with him at all," Rivers told the media Monday. "We got Bosh on an early foul, and then we went seven straight plays before we decided to look back to that spot. That's not like us to do that. That was a mistake.'
Garnett isn't ever going to take 25 shots — just isn't that kind of player, we are talking about someone who averaged just 11.6 per game during the regular season — but the Celtics would probably like to see him somewhere close to the 16 shots he attempted in both Game 2 and Game 4 of the Knicks series.
(2). James Jones isn't going to score 25 points again on Tuesday night. Statistically, we recognize it as an outlier. He averaged just 5.9 points during the regular season with one 20-point game (Oct. 27). But Rivers wants the Miami swingman to work a lot harder to find his shots in Game 2.
'The fact that he took seven 3-pointers without taking a dribble, when you think about it, that's poor defense," Rivers said. "You've still got to make them and that's where you give James all the credit, he's an excellent shooter and he made them. But to give a shooter seven 3-pointers and without having to put the ball on the floor one time, that's tough for to handle."
(3). The Joey Factor. After a Game 1 that was described by Rivers as "chippy" — featuring five technical fouls, a flagrant foul and an ejection — here comes Joey Crawford and his quick whistle on Tuesday night. Crawford — the lead official in Game 7 of last year's Celtics-Lakers series — is about as old-school as it gets, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on the situation (let us not forget his was also suspended indefinitely in 2007 after allegedly challenging Tim Duncan to a fight) . Expect a very tight game to be called, and Crawford will be happy to hand out technical fouls if he feels it might help temper potential altercations between the two teams.

Scranton says legislative Democrats should "rejoice/rath r than bemoan the fact" that the state is en joying record budget surpluses.

Rivers, Rising Streams Slowly Ice-choked rivers and streams in the Clearfield Coun ty-Moshannon -Valley area continued rising slowly today as unseasonably mild weather persisted > There were no immediate threats of any flooding and there was little indication that a flood threat might arise. Colder weather with rainf ending was forecast for tonight. The West Branch of the Susquehanna River at Clearfield was still under the six-foot mark at 7 a. m. but still rising. Upstream, the Curwensville Dam remained at its normal pool leveL However, runoff had begun from upstream areas and was expected to increase as the day progressed. Curtis V. Klobe, tender at the dam, said he opened one of the gates an additional half-foot to compensate for the anticipated runoff. The increased discharge was expected to raise the river stage somewhat at Clearfield. Only when there is a threat of serious flooding to downstream areas will the gates of the dam be closed completely. Despite the rise in the river it remains mostly covered with ice as do several smaller streams. There were indications that there may .be some ice movement on Anderson Creek which joins the Susquehanna below the dam at Curwensville. An observer reported Anderson Creek was rising quite rapidly this morning. Rainfall was measured at .38 of an inch at Clearfield and .35 at the Curwensville Dam. At Mahaffey, the river level was just above the three-foot mark. Temperatures reached a high of 42 degrees yesterday, not quite as high as expected. Colder weather with temperatures falling into the 20s was predicted tonight. Some shower activity was forecast during the day but the U.'S.

Croyle of Morrisdale was admitted to the Centre County Hospital at Bellefonte Wednesday with a neck injury received when her car was struck from the rear by another vehicle. Miss Croyle had stopped in traffic to await an opportunity to make a left turn into a private lot when her car was struck by a car operated by Tolbert Prowell of State College. Damage was set at $200 to the Croyle car and at $450 to the Prowell car. Democrats were particularly critical of the governor's propo sal to lay aside $50 million for school subsidies in two years They demanded the money be spent in the coming fiscal year or taxes be cut. Scranton said it makes for "sound fiscal" policy to lay aside such sums in periods of plenty to avoid the need for higher re venues later. Asked to look ahead to the 1967-68 year and the possibility of tax increases then, the gov ernor said he did not see at pre sent any need for increased re venues. He said there will be only two major additions to the budget that year - increased spending already appropriated for ment al health and retardation pro grams and the new school sub sidy program. He said the $50 million to be laid away would ease the subsidy burden. Aside from any new or ex panded programs that the gov ernor might recommend, Scran ton said the only possible area of increased cost would be in higher education and that would depend on recommendations of the forthcoming master plan. Scranton also entered a broad discussion about the possibility of a special session of the leg islatune this year for a variety of general proposals.

Democrats Reportedly Agreed on Casey As Party's Candidate PHILADELPHIA (AP)-State Democratic leaders have agreed to back state Sen. Robert P. Casey as the organization candidate for governor, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported today. The Inquirer said formal endorsement of Casey would come next Monday in Harrisburg at the meeting of the Democratic State Policy Committee. The Inquirer said the decision to back Casey, 34, of Lackawanna County, came after repeated efforts failed to enlist former Gov. George M. Leader as a andidate. According to the Inquirer, Ca-Please Turn to Page 14, Coi. 4 Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, who directed the filibuster which blocked repeal of section 14B of the Taft-Hartley Act, indicated that he might use the same tactics against the other two measures. Section 14B allows states to ban union shop contracts under which covered employes must join the union. Nineteen states ban such contracts. Asked by a reporter if he believed the minimum wage and unemployment compensation measures should be filibustered, Dirksen replied, "I feel equally strongly about them." He added that he would not say definitely, however, until he knew the final form of the bills. packers of the 14B repeal bill failed again Thursday in their attempt to invoke cloture and thus choke off the filibuster which has blocked efforts since Jan. 24 to bring the measure before the Senate. The vote was 50 for cloture and 49 against, 16 short of the required two-thirds. This was one vote less for cloture than was cast in a cloture test Tuesday. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield dropped his motion to bring up the bill after Thursday's vote and said that, so far as he knew now, the legislation was dead for this session.

The vice president, though flushed by the tropical heat, enjoyed himself enormously in his visit with the kindergarten class in a village five miles south of Saigon. The visit to the newly pacified village of New Prosperity was Humphrey's first stop on a four-hour tour of economic and social projects of the type with which the Saigon government hopes to recapture the hearts of the people. From the village a helicopter carried Humphrey to Saigon slum districts, where he inspected a new community for refugees being built by a U.S.Vietnamese student group, and a low-rent housing development, "Here we see the principle of self-help really at work," said Humphrey, who arrived Thursday to dramatize President Johnson's hopes for economic, social and political progress in this battleground with the Communists.

Ho Insists NLF Must Represent South at Talks By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States is seeking to put diplomatic pressure on North Viet Nam to modify its demand that the Communist National Liberation Front - NLF - must represent South Viet Nam in any peace negotiations. President Johnson has sent word to interested foreign governments that the demand made by North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh is wholly unacceptable and has created an obstacle to efforts to arrange a peace conference. Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg, envoy to the United Nations, said after a two-hour meeting with Johnson Thursday that U.S. policy is flexible on the issue of an NLF role in negotiations. The NLF is the political arm of the Communist guerrilla forces. "We will bargain on that at the conference table," Goldberg told reporters. But he emphasized that the demand which Ho made public Jan.* 28 is unacceptable to the United States, and he made clear it would have to be modified if the issue is to be resolved. Johnson briefed Goldberg on his meeting in Hawaii earlier this week with the leaders of South Viet Nam, then sent him back to U.N. headquarters in New York to renew his efforts with Secretary-General U Thant and members of the Security Council as well as representatives of other countries to find some way to bring the Vietnamese war to a close. While Goldberg was meeting with Johnson, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee heard from George F. Kennan, former State Department Soviet affairs expert, in its inquiry into U.S. policy in Southeast Asia. Both Kennan and Sen. J. W.

Lisa - Edimburgo, United Kingdom - 08/03/2016
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights, our room was clean and comfortable. Excellent location, close to tube and Euston station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money, recommended!
Sarah - Somerset, United Kingdom - 01/11/2013
Clean Hotel, friendly staff excellent location for getting around sightseeing, close to tube station and a bus route right outside the Hotel what more could you ask for. There was a queue for breakfast on the Saturday, however it is a big hotel and it was full, to us this was not a problem you just have to be patient. There is a great choice available for breakfast. The meals in the restaurant although a small choice are very good value for money. Overall a pleasant stay good value for money and we will definitely stay again
Roger - Sawbridgeworth, United Kingdom - 08/07/2013
Hotel was everything as described. Rooms basic but adequate for a short stay and where hotel services are not required. CAUTIONARY NOTE: Before making reservation through HotelsClick, check the price with the hotel direct. The hotel as a flat rate for double rooms of £106. Hotelsclick charged us £134.
Wolfgang - Mevaseret Zion, United Kingdom - 02/05/2013
This is our eigth stay in the Royal National which speaks for itself. Whilst the hotel as a whole is pretty awful, the rooms are OK, the breakfast, so so but the location is really good. The price for a London central hotel isn't bad and for my wife and I, this together with the location is the draw.
Julie - Preston, United Kingdom - 05/04/2013
This is mine and my son's 5th stay here. The only down side is checking-in is a bit unorganised, and you can be queueing for a while. Location is great, breakfast really good and rooms very good.
Denise - Chorley, United Kingdom - 11/07/2012
i was concerned at what the hotel would be like after reading the amount of negative feedback that i'd read on trip advisor. but dont be put off. yes the hotel is old when you see it from outside but they are doing the place up but with over a 1,000 rooms it will take a while however we got a revamped room which was nicely decorated, very clean with hairdryer, tv, tea/coffee facilities and ample clean towels, comfy beds with clean bedding. The only 2 downfalls were the window didn't shut so room was a little noisy until the bar shut and would have meant in winter that the room would have been cold but as it had been a lovely sunny day the ventilation was appreciated and the on-site pizza rest closed at 10.30 despite it stating 11pm. so after a westend show we were looking forward to a pizza for tea/supper but no luck. Location is great and would def stay again :)
Brian - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom - 17/12/2011
For the loacation and price hard to beat.....rooms a bit dated and in need of redecorating a little, but service of the staff in the hotel was great!
Janet - Tewkesbury, United Kingdom - 29/08/2011
With some trepidation after reading damning reviews I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. Every aspect was perfectly acceptable for the purpose that I needed.
Jennifer - Halifax, United Kingdom - 12/04/2011
When we arrived they denied having our reservation, despite our hotel voucher. They refused to let us use the phone to sort out the misunderstanding and we had to pay again for the room. When we check out they refused to give us any evidence that they didn't have our confirmation so we could claim back the cost with the agent and were very rude. When we asked to speak to the manager they miraculoysly found our reservation and refunded the payment. Aside from this the hotel was below avergae.
John - Bonnyrigg, United Kingdom - 06/04/2011
We have stayed here annually for the last 6 or so years. The hotel is used to a great extent by bus parties mainly of young people, which makes it rather noisy night and day. The hotel generally was good apart from the fact that the queues for breakfast were so long that we gave them a miss and made our own arrangements. I would have been rather miffed if we had paid for a full english breakfast. I think in future we would select another hotel.
Stephen - Beaminster, United Kingdom - 02/04/2011
upon arrival at the hotel the trainee receptionist was rather short with us. Yes we had a voucher and we were not aware we could not check in until 2pm. We left our bags at the hotel after a long journey from the South West of England by rail. When entering the room everything seemed ok except the towels. On returning to the hotel we went off to the West end for a show. The foyer and yard outside was full of groups of students waiting for coaches arriving late at night and early hours. The noise was out of control and many of these groups were just left to wait unsupervised. The noise did not subside until 1:30 am Sunday morning. This did not make one feel good going down to breakfast. Being on the first floor it was impossible to get a lift. My wife has Arthritis and walking the stairs was not a good experience for her. At breakfast I was challenged to pay money as the reception had not stamped my card (oversight). There were too many people for breakfast made the whole experience was not pleasant after very little sleep. I came with my wife for a birthday treat and said I will never stay at this hotel again. I have been to London many times on business and leisure but never stayed here before and will never stay here again.
Geraldine - Northallerton, United Kingdom - 12/02/2011
Given 2 keys to our room on 7th floor: 3 times had to return to reception to have keys replaced as they would not unlock/open door. Reception Staff not helpful - more I was a boring chore. Room cool and roomier than expected and clean except there were newspapers on the floor of the wardrobe, one of the beds the sheets were holed. My daughter left her hot water bottle in the bed - it was her favourite, but reception twice asked me to phone back as 1) they didn't understand what I was saying due to the background noise in reception 2) I would have to called back and speak to house - keeping about it - no offer to take my number and details and call me back, which would have been good customer service.
Melanie - Penryn, United Kingdom - 15/10/2010
After reading some reviews I was worried about staying at this hotel, it was fine and the location fab, my husband and I stayed 2 nites and yes we had to queue to check in, yes the room was basic but we had an en-suite which was ok, the room looked clean enough to us and our beds were made and we had clean towels each day, breakfast was a drink and toast - so to be honest for what we paid it was fine.
Peter - Haywards Heath, United Kingdom - 25/09/2010
The general staff were not at all helpful few could be understood or converse in English. The general attitude of staff was totally indifferent to the needs of the guests. One person stood out as helpful with an excellent attitude and that was the lady who came to room 3225 to check the heating system. The room was clean but the public areas were dirty. The breakfast way below standard to any other hotel we have stayed in. The price paid was way over the advertised price on the advert board outside the hotel, Would not use this hotel again.
Helen - Chester-Le-Street County Durham, United Kingdom - 02/08/2010
The Royal National Hotel is ideal for a London city break. It is very well situated for bus + tube giving access to all parts of London. The hotel is very clean with all the staff being pleasant and very helpful. It is worth paying the extra for the full English breakfast + we recommend the evening meal, especially the roast dinner. I've given the hotel top marks as an excellent short break hotel and would recommend it to anyone.
Delair - Winchester, United Kingdom - 18/01/2010
I really recommend this hotel to everybody trying to visit london, very friendly staff, clean, well heated rooms, good location and good price for such nice hotel.
Philip - Luton, United Kingdom - 18/12/2009
The hotel is big, though the staff were polite and helpful. The venue room was good as the food but our room, on the 7th floor has a very noisy radiator and a nasty water stain on the ceiling. Beds were surprisingly comfortable and the room clean. The decor is suffering slightly from age and is due to a redecorate. I would it recommend it as there are better hotels nearby but I have stayed in much worse.
John - Clacton-On-Sea, United Kingdom - 11/12/2009
We stayed here as it was close to the West End and we could walk to the theatre. Generally pleased, but we had a room at the front and traffic noise was constant all night.
Margaret - Worcs, United Kingdom - 21/07/2009
My friends and I stayed in the Royal International Hotel recently and was really pleased with this hotel. Room was spacious, clean and pleasantly decorated. The hotel is great for being central to all London has to offer and I will deffinately use this hotel again.
Frederick - Coventry, United Kingdom - 03/06/2009
although a very large and busy hotel it suited our purpose reasonable price especially for london Well placed for trains, buses underground, shops and restuarants etc. despite my intially concerns about possible noise and service as there were numerous large groups booking in as I arrived, in fact i was served at reception very quickly and proffesionally. Again at Breakfast people were moved into the dining area quickly, only coment hear would be not immediatly clear how to upgrade meal. however there were sufficient staff available to sort that out. Reception area concorse constantly busy but once moved away quiet and plenty of places to sit. All staff very helpful and pleasant.
Frances - Formby, United Kingdom - 28/04/2009
I was attending a conference in the hotel so location was very fortunate.Foyer area always crowded thereforeI had a long wait before being attended to.Room adequate,breakfast fine.
Stuart - Kibworth, Leicester, United Kingdom - 11/02/2009
In the middle of all the latest snow & ice we fancied a trip to London to see a show and visit museums as well as doing some shopping. We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Royal National (we have stayed here before on several occasions) as it is very central and very efficiently run, even though it is a big, busy hotel.
Tracey - Wallsend, United Kingdom - 09/02/2009
For being in the centre of London its a very reasonable price, clean and friendly staff. No matter were i worked in London, i would travel to stay here again.
Pamela - Birmingham, United Kingdom - 11/12/2008
I have stayed at this hotel twice. Both times it has been clean and comfortable. The location is great especially when staying in London for travel on the Euro star. It is in walking distance from Euston station. I would reccommend anyone to stay at the hotel if you're looking for basic accommadation in a good location and for a relatively cheap price.
Joanna - Shrewsbury, United Kingdom - 08/10/2008
My room was clean and had all I needed for a comfortable stay. Just the basics but that is all one needs. The location was ideal for my purpose and I was relieved that although it is the biggest Hotle I have ever stayed in, it was quiet.apart form the inevitable traffic which is just part of London life anyway. So all in all, I will definately be staying again and hope the experience will be the same. Thank you.
Darren - Glasgow, United Kingdom - 13/06/2008
Extremely rude staff who seem to forget you are paying to stay at the hotel. We arrived 30 minutes before check-in and were told to come back 30 minutes later. There was no way we could check in early. Only one key provided for the room - when we asked for another, more rudeness from the staff. Hotel hasn't been touched since the 70s - decor is worn, carpets are threadbare, bathroom facilities are ancient, no air conditioning. Yes, it's cheap, but so are Travelodges - and they're like the Hilton compared to this place.
Gail - Preston, United Kingdom - 14/05/2008
the availabilty of a smoking room would have helped
Sheila - Abergele, United Kingdom - 16/02/2008
excellant hotel, much better than we expected for the money,very comfortable nights sleep,room was clean and service was v.good. breakfast (continental) was v.good.Will definitely use again.
Shaun - Exeter, United Kingdom - 08/01/2008
This is more of a two star hotel, very basic, rooms are not very comtable, a little noisey. Great for a budget stay. More like a youth hostel Also you can book a single room direct for £68.00 and not the £75.00 I paid by hotelsclik
Paul - Port Glasgow, United Kingdom - 13/03/2007
pleasant staff, rooms were basic but clean, Temperature in room was too warm and you couldn't control the radiator also only 1 socket in the room which was hopeless considering I was in a triple room with another 2 females.
Karen - Sheffield, United Kingdom - 13/02/2007
We found everything we needed for our 1 night stay at this hotel. Although the room and the facilities were basic, they were adequate. The reception staff were incredibly efficient and were actually expecting us (I have stayed in higher star london hotels a couple of times where the bookings have been confused), and we also were allowed to check in early. Would definitely stay here again.
Elizabeth - Portsmouth, United Kingdom - 03/02/2007
My daughter and i came for a theatre break, this is the first time i have stayed in this hotel.I have already recomended you to friends.

The official sequel to the beloved free app Glow Hockey is here, in Glow Hockey 2. But is it really a true sequel or is it more of an update to the already existing title? Both are correct! Please allow me to explain.
You see, there is actually a free version and a paid version of the app, though you probably wouldn't know from looking at the Android Market as it's tucked near the bottom of the app description. Most people won't find out until they've downloaded the free version that there even is a paid version, until the app itself tells you to buy it, that is.
The free version basically is just a title update of the original. If offers the exact same graphics plus one more extra board to play on, as well as introducing a 2 player mode. The idea of playing a table hockey game against other flawed humans, such as myself, without having to deal with a real table was an appealing idea, but it didn't work very well on my particular phone. That's really all you get with the free version, but it's nice if that's all you really wanted.
The paid version actually brings a lot more to the table though. The game has not one, but actually tons of new boards to play on, with completely different themes and aesthetics. On top of that, there is now a championship mode. This mode consists of playing against harder and harder opponents rather than simply selecting a difficulty. I like the idea of being able to slowly train myself to actually be good at this game, which I am not.
The game sports the same great visuals as its predecessor, plus a little bit more. If you liked the original, you'll probably like this one. Everyone should get the free version simply because it's free and it's a great game to play in short bursts. The paid version is another matter though. It will cost you two dollars, and you can only buy it from the Amazon app market. If you think the championship mode and tons of variety in your tables is important, than go for it, but it's really not a necessary buy. Download the free Appolicious Android app

Mannix on D&C: LeBron still wouldn't make Miami the favorite
|07.08.10 at 10:33 am ET
Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated joined guest hosts Bob Ryan and Bob Neumeier on the Dennis & Callahan show Thursday morning to weigh in on the LeBron James situation and offer his opinion on the validity of reports that James is headed to Miami.
Following are some highlights. To hear the interview, visit the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
On Miami's position to compete in the Eastern Conference if LeBron joins Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh:
I think next season it would be extremely difficult. Now, I'm convinced that Michael Beasley is going to stay on the roster because they can't give him away for a ham sandwich. They're trying to pass him off on every team in the league, which is a little mind-boggling considering that two years ago this guy was the No. 2 pick in the draft. We were arguing about being possibly the No. 1 pick with Derrick Rose. Their willingness to just give him away is a little baffling.
But you make the point, even if those three guys sign, you're left with Mario Chalmers suddenly becomes the Rajon Rondo of the Miami Heat, where he sort of he's sort of an unknown commodity and he has to play exceptionally well for them to succeed. But the other problem is they don't have a Kendrick Perkins equivalent. There's no center down there. There's nobody down there. They're going to have to sign a Mikki Moore to play center for that position. They're going to have fill up the rest of the roster with veteran minimum salary players.
I think come next year, if maybe Beasley proves himself he can be a trade shipment and you can use that whole mid-level exception to use on one guy and maybe spread it out over two guys, I think that next year they're in a better position. But I'm not convinced guys that even if those three guys come together ' and I'm sure they're going to win 65 to 70 regular season games ' I'm not convinced they're getting out of the Eastern Conference. I mean, if Boston can get their act together and Kendrick Perkins can come back in the second half of the season and give them something close to what he gave them last year, I think they're still going to be considered the favorite. I just think they still have enough left in the tank to make one more run and chemistry-wise and talent-wise, I think even though they have all the stock power down there in Miami, I don't believe they have enough to get past the Celtics or even maybe Chicago in the conference finals.
Whether the odds are in favor of the Bulls if they get LeBron:
Yeah, I would think so. I think they still have to get a shooter. I mean, all these teams need a shooter. I don't know who else is out there. '¦ You have to find a shooter. I think Mike Miller is a very good fit. I wonder if they're going to have enough money or assets to acquire him, because I think he's still very much a capable shooter. I mean, he's only 30 years old, he's had some tough stretches the last couple of years in Washington and in Memphis but I think he still has enough left in the tank. He's the kind of specialist you're looking for. He and [J.J.] Redick are the two guys that are floating out there. I'm convinced that Orlando's going to do anything they can to resign Redick and try and match any offers he gets with the mid-level exception. But I think that Mike Miller's your next best fit. But I think he's a great fit in Chicago.
On his reaction to the media hype surrounding LeBron's one-hour special on ESPN:
It's amazing. I would say that. I think to a certain degree this LeBron hype is almost deserving because we've never had a free agent of this magnitude hit the market. We've never had a guy that not only can change the fortunes of the team but can change the entire dynamics of a city. I mean, this guy is a one-man recession-buster. He goes into a town and all of a sudden that city lights up. Can you imagine if he goes to Jersey? Even if they're playing in Newark they're going to sell out every game down there in that new arena. He goes to Chicago ' they're doing great with attendance anyway ' but then all of a sudden they're selling out every game. Miami, which has not been good with attendance, they've been absolutely putrid sometimes in attendance, they're going to sell out every game and change the course of the way that city is run.
I just think we haven't had something that he remotely couples in any sport. Everybody talks about this being the biggest free agent in NBA history, I mean maybe you guys can tell me, but I can't think of anybody who's hit the market that has been close to this in any sport out there. I'm totally through with it and I'm done with and of course I'm wishing it would be over, but I can understand the hype because of what this guy brings to the table both on the court and off of it.
On whether the one-hour special and decision drama is a conspiratorial thing to bring this brand to the forefront and get ESPN its sources:
There might be some measure of truth to that, but I think more than anything ' and I'm not going to disparage [Chris] Broussard because I think he does have a tight relationship with Maverick Carter and the guys in James' camp. Remember, Broussard's from Cleveland. He grew up and went to school just outside the city, so he's been close to these guys for years and it's kind of one of those things, like the chicken's coming home to roost there, in a sense, where he's getting those sources. We all have those situations. We're all tight with one person or the other.
Remember in Boston, with Will McDonough and Bill Parcells, that stuff was all going through him. I think when you have a guy that works with you and is good with you, you kind of got to count your blessings and thank him for it because I don't view any conspiracy there, I just think Chris just found a nice golden goose there that is willing to leak him information. I will say this, it does not surprise me at all if Chris is wrong. If LeBron sits up there and says I'm staying in Cleveland for a three-year deal, that would not shock me one bit.
On what to expect in the one-hour special:
I can see the hats [like at a college recruit press conference]. I can also see the envelopes sitting up there where he does: "My third choice is the Cleveland Cavaliers. My second choice is the Chicago Bulls. My first choice is the Miami Heat." I believe that it's going to be an extravaganza, it's not going to be something as simple as him standing up there and making a speech. I think he's going to do what you're talking about. I think he's going to have some sort of show put together where he knocks teams off one by one, "You are the weakest link," or something like that where he's just up there and doing his thing. I really believe that's going to happen tonight.
On the fallout in Cleveland, with the Knicks and with the Nets, if LeBron goes somewhere else:
I think Cleveland you all have of a sudden have to look at yourself as the Washington Wizards. The Wizards lost Gilbert Arenas, they realized they were not a contending team, they just had a salary full of overpaid quasi-All-Stars. I think at that point you have to go into a massive rebuilding process. Because I think even though the Cavs would be left with about $8 million in cap space, that's not enough to get a guy to replace LeBron. '¦ I think Jersey, you have to exclude them from this, because they lose out on LeBron they'll just sort of say, 'All right, we're a bad team, we're going to figure this out in the next few years.' New York and Cleveland, I mean, you've been building up to this moment for two years, three years even, you have to be stunningly disappointed and totally caught off guard because now your whole situation changes. You have to go in a direction you never thought you would have to go.
New York, I live there, guys, they have been convinced this was going to happen for over a year. '¦ You pick up the New York Post ,the countdown to LeBron is on the second page. Same thing with Cleveland, they've all been convinced this guy was going to stay, too. I think it just changes the direction of the franchise and the direction of everything that goes on out there. I'm not sure there's words to qualify it, to quantify it, because it's something that they just would never expect to happen and both teams would be completely unprepared for it.

5. Secrets
There were a great many clubs in Harmony Village, but as we intend to interest
ourselves with the affairs of the young folks only, we need not dwell upon the intellectual
amusements of the elders. In summer, the boys devoted themselves to baseball, the
girls to boating, and all got rosy, stout, and strong, in these healthful exercises. In
winter, the lads had their debating club, the lasses a dramatic ditto. At the former,
astonishing bursts of oratory were heard; at the latter, everything was boldly attempted,
from Romeo and Juliet to Mother Goose's immortal melodies. The two clubs frequently
met and mingled their attractions in a really entertaining manner, for the speakers made
good actors, and the young actresses were most appreciative listeners to the eloquence
of each budding Demosthenes.
Great plans had been afoot for Christmas or New Year, but when the grand catastrophe
put an end to the career of one of the best "spouters," and caused the retirement of the
favorite "singing chambermaid," the affair was postponed till February, when
Washington's birthday was always celebrated by the patriotic town, where the father of
his country once put on his nightcap, or took off his boots, as that ubiquitous hero
appears to have done in every part of the United States.
Meantime the boys were studying Revolutionary characters, and the girls rehearsing
such dramatic scenes as they thought most appropriate and effective for the 22d. In
both of these attempts they were much helped by the sense and spirit of Ralph Evans, a
youth of nineteen, who was a great favorite with the young folks, not only because he
was a good, industrious fellow, who supported his grandmother, but also full of talent,
fun, and ingenuity. It was no wonder everyone who really knew him liked him, for he
could turn his hand to anything, and loved to do it. If the girls were in despair about a
fire-place when acting "The Cricket on the Hearth," he painted one, and put a gas-log in
it that made the kettle really boil, to their great delight. If the boys found the interest of
their club flagging, Ralph would convulse them by imitations of the "Member from
Cranberry Centre," or fire them with speeches of famous statesmen. Charity fairs could
not get on without him, and in the store where he worked he did many an ingenious job,
which made him valued for his mechanical skill, as well as for his energy and integrity.
Mrs. Minot liked to have him with her sons, because they also were to paddle their own
canoes by and by, and she believed that, rich or poor, boys make better men for
learning to use the talents they possess, not merely as ornaments, but tools with which
to carve their own fortunes; and the best help toward this end is an example of faithful
work, high aims, and honest living. So Ralph came often, and in times of trouble was a
real rainy-day friend. Jack grew very fond of him during his imprisonment, for the good
youth ran in every evening to get commissions, amuse the boy with droll accounts of the
day's adventures, or invent lifts, bed-tables, and foot-rests for the impatient invalid.
Frank found him a sure guide through the mechanical mysteries which he loved, and
spent many a useful half-hour discussing cylinders, pistons, valves, and balance-

From waterfalls, geysers and grizzly bears to wildflowers, beaches and canyons, America's national parks have something for everyone.
The Smokies
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited of the United States' 58 national parks, logging 9.4 million-plus visitors each year.
The park covers 210,876ha in North Carolina and Tennessee and offers 1280km of hiking trails.
Founded in 1940, part of its appeal is the diverse recreation, from picnics and scenic drives through to walking and wildlife watching.
The park can be visited year-round but spring and early summer are popular because of the wildflowers, earning the Smokies the nickname Wildflower National Park.
The Grand Canyon
Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park is the second-most visited park in the US and also is one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World.
It was designated a national park in 1919 and today receives close to five million visitors each year.
The canyon is 446 river kilometres long, up to 29km wide and 1.6km deep, with amazing geologic colours and erosional forms.
Best time to visit is late May to early October.
Covering 310,799ha, Yosemite (Yo-SEM-itty) National Park is the US' third-most visited.
It's popular with rock climbers who tackle the granite cliffs, and for the sequoia groves and Sierra Nevada mountain scenery that attract hikers, cyclists, photographers and wildlife watchers.
The best time to visit is late May, when snow-melt keeps the waterfalls flowing.
Yellowstone National Park's geysers, free-roaming bison, grizzly bears, wolves and herds of bison are big draws for visitors, earning it the title of the nation's fourth-most popular park. The best known geyser is Old Faithful, which erupts about 17 times a day, often as high as 56m.
Spring and summer are the best times to visit the Wyoming park.
Washington's Olympic National Park's terrain is varied: Pacific Ocean beaches, rainforest valleys and glacier-tipped mountains.
The park is the fifth-most visited and became a national park in 1938. It's open year-round.

In a blow to environment groups, the federal government declined to increase its plan for reductions in carbon emissions despite its renewed commitment to the Kyoto Protocol.
Environment groups had campaigned for Australia to increase its existing 5 per cent 2020 emission reduction target in light of the 80 million tonnes of surplus international carbon permits accrued under the first commitment period of Kyoto.
In a submission to the Conference of Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention, the government committed to reduce 2020 emissions to 99.5 per cent of 1990 levels over 2013 to 2020. This translates to a 5 per cent reduction in 2020 on 2000 levels.
Importantly, it equates to an estimated carbon budget of 4,626 million tonnes of carbon over eight years, or 578 Mt on average each year.
"This transition represents a significant effort given Australia's heavy reliance on fossil fuels," the submission said.
"Over 70 per cent of Australia's emissions are from the burning or mining of fossil fuels. And around 90 per cent of Australia's electricity is generated from fossil fuels.
"The government left the possibility to increase the target to 15 per cent to 25 per cent if major developing and advanced economies made clear commitments to substantially restrain emissions."
Australia's QELRO and 2020 emission reduction targets are a commitment to transforming Australia's economy, by delivering a fundamental change to the nation's emissions profile and energy generation mix.
WWF national manager for climate change, Kellie Caught, rejected the notion that a 5 per cent target represented Australia's fair share of the global effort required to avoid dangerous climate change.
"We are disappointed, but not surprised, that the government isn't using this opportunity to commit to a stronger pollution target," Ms Caught said.
"However, unlike phase one of Kyoto where Australia was allowed to increase emissions to 108 per cent of 1990 levels, Australia has this time agreed to a Kyoto target (99.5 per cent) which will finally see emissions fall below the 1990 baseline."
"Australia's provisional 99.5 per cent target represents a floor, not a ceiling, on ambition. The real test for Australia's commitment to solving climate change will come when parliament sets the pollution caps for the emissions trading scheme in 2014."

Another Too-Extreme Republican Joins VA-10's Race-to-the-Right Republican Primary
Senator Dick Black is the second Republican to join Republicans' race-to-the-right primary to succeed Frank Wolf, and he and Barbara Comstock have one thing in common: a brand of extremely dysfunctional politics that would make the gridlock in Washington worse and hurt Virginia families.
The Virginian-Pilot editorial board called Black an "anti-abortion extremist," after he consistently focused on the wrong priorities in the legislature. Black made a name for himself as one of the original prosecutors of the war on women instead of working across the aisle to solve the transportation crisis or invest in education or grow Virginia's economy. Black even went so far as to send plastic fetuses—yes, plastic fetus dolls—to his colleagues.
"Dick Black's entry into Virginia's 10th district race guarantees a sprint to the right, as both Comstock and Black rush to prove their allegiance to the same dysfunctional fringe of their party responsible for the shutdown of our nation's government," said David Bergstein of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "Comstock and Black are the kind of Republicans who would make Frank Wolf cringe – prioritizing their radical social agenda that includes a War on Women – instead of bringing folks together to help businesses grow jobs or solve the problems that matter to northern Virginians. It's exactly Black and Comstock's kind of divisive dysfunction that is standing in the way of solutions in Washington, and in Congress Black and Comstock would make the gridlock even worse."
Virginian-Pilot Editorial Board: Black is an "Anti-Abortion Extremist." [Virginian-Pilot, 11/16/07]
Black Sent Pink Plastic Fetus Dolls to Colleagues in State Legislature. In 2003, Black sent members of the Senate pink plastic fetus dolls with a letter asking, "Would you kill this child?" [Associated Press, 2/05/03]
Black Voted to Require Transvaginal Ultrasounds for Women. In 2012, Black voted for a bill "that requires women to have a 'transvaginal ultrasound' before undergoing abortions." The bill passed out of committee 8 to 7. [HB 462, 2/23/12; Associated Press, 2/15/12]
Black Voted Against Bipartisan Transportation Bill. In 2013, Black voted against Virginia's sweeping deal that overhauled funding for transportation projects. The bill passed 26 to 12. [HB 2313, 4/03/13]

|NBA trade deadline roundup: Celtics quiet; Andre Miller reportedly headed to Wizards
|02.20.14 at 1:39 pm ET
While the Celtics reportedly are not in the mix for any trades before Thursday's 3 p.m. deadline, there have been a number of minor deals.
So far, the Boston Celtics have no traction on any deals, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
' Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) February 20, 2014
Veteran point guard Andre Miller is being traded from the Nuggets to the Wizards in a three-team deal, according to multiple reports.
The Wizards reportedly are sending forward Jan Vesely to Denver and guard Eric Maynor to the 76ers. Philadelphia also picks up a pair of second-round draft picks.
Miller has not played since being suspended by the team Jan. 2 following an incident with coach Brian Shaw. The 37-year-old is averaging 5.9 points and 3.3 assists in 19.0 minutes over 30 games.
Vesely, 23, is averaging 3.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14.2 minutes over 33 games. The 7-footer was the sixth overall pick by the Wizards in 2011.
Maynor, 26, scores 2.3 points per game in limited action.
— The Bobcats acquired guards Gary Neal and Luke Ridnour from the Bucks in exchange for Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrien, according to reports.
The Bobcats were said to have been pursuing Neal for some time while dangling Sessions, but Ridnour needed to be included to make the money work.
Neal, 29, is averaging 10.0 points in 20.2 minutes over 30 games this season. He was signed in the offseason after three years with the Spurs but has been unable to cement a spot in Milwaukee's rotation. Ridnour, 33, averages 5.7 points and 3.4 assists in 21.2 minutes over 36 games for the league-worst Bucks.
The 27-year-old Sessions, in his seventh NBA season, is averaging 10.5 points and 3.7 assists in 23.7 minutes over 55 games.
Adrien, 28, from Brookline and UConn, is averaging 2.3 points in limited action.
— The Heat sent forward Roger Mason Jr. and cash to the Kings for a protected second-round draft pick, apparently to open up a roster spot in case of an appealing free agent option next week.
Mason, who averaged 3.0 points in 25 games, is expected to be waived by the Kings.
|NBA trade deadline roundup: 76ers reportedly send Spencer Hawes to Cavaliers; Jason Terry heads to Kings
|at 11:45 am ET
The 76ers continued their trend of loading up on draft picks and weakening their current roster when they sent center Spencer Hawes to the Cavaliers on Thursday, according to multiple reports.
Philadelphia reportedly will get two second-round draft picks and backup forward Earl Clark for Hawes, who is averaging 13.0 points and 8.5 rebounds in the final year of a deal that pays $6.6 million this season.
The 76ers have the second-worst record in the NBA at 15-40, leading only the Bucks (10-43). The Cavaliers are 22-33 and three games out of a playoff spot in the embarrassingly bad Eastern Conference.
— Jason Terry is on the move again. The veteran guard, traded along with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett from the Celtics to the Nets in the offseason, was sent to the Kings along with Reggie Evans for guard Marcus Thornton.
Terry, 36, is averaging a career-worst 4.5 points and 1.5 assists while playing 16.3 minutes over 35 games this season. Evans, 33, is averaging 2.7 points and 5.0 rebounds in 13.3 minutes over 30 games.
Thornton, 26, is averaging 8.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 24.4 minutes over 46 games. He makes $8.1 million this year and is due $8.6 million next season.
"Marcus is a proven scorer in this league," Nets general manager Billy King said in a statement. "He is a young talent who will help us in the backcourt."
— The Lakers and Warriors confirmed that guard Steve Blake is headed to Golden State for backup guards Kent Bazemore and former Celtic Marshon Brooks.
"The acquisition of Steve Blake will provide us with additional veteran depth at point guard as we enter the stretch run of the season," Warriors general manager Bob Myers said in a statement. "He's had a productive career and is a player who can both run an offense and has the ability to shoot the basketball. On the other hand, we thank Kent and MarShon for their contributions to our team both on and off the court and wish them success as they enter the next stage of their careers."
Blake, who becomes an unrestricted free agent after the season, heads to his seventh team in his 11-year career.
Tough to see a great player, friend and professional get traded tonight. My best wishes @SteveBlake5 , the Warriors are lucky to have you.

|Celtics trade rumor: More Rajon Rondo rumblings
|02.18.14 at 9:42 am ET
The NBA trade rumor mill is really churning now, and it should come as no surprise Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo's name repeatedly rises to the surface.
As Rondo said, "It's been like that my last eight years as a Celtic." Other teams want an All-Star, All-Defensive point guard, and they want him cheap.
Here's the latest that'll make Danny Ainge chuckle.
According to the Toronto Sun (h/t SB Nation), the Raptors would like Rondo, and the C's may budge on the alleged asking price of two first-round picks, citing a source who believes Ainge would welcome "at least one lottery pick and talented young player."
It's no secret Boston has dangled four-time all-star Rajon Rondo league-wide and while the asking price is steep, he has piqued the interest of Toronto's front office, according to multiple sources. Toronto is eager to up its 'star' quotient and is also enamoured with Rondo's resume, particularly his four all-defensive team selections (two all-NBA first team). He has many backers in the organization.
Oh, one of the game's top five point guards has piqued their interest? Well, then, we might as well lump the remaining 28 teams into this rumor. And is it no secret the C's have dangled Rondo league-wide? Time and again, Ainge reminds everyone willing to listen the phone may ring but he's not making the calls about his lone star.
Take this retread rumor, for example. As a number of less reputable outlets reported two months ago, the Kings offered Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore and a pick in exchange for Rondo, according to Yahoo's Marc J. Spears. Except, "Rondo wasn't interested in re-signing with Sacramento and the Kings strongly value McLemore." Let me get this straight: Sacramento didn't want to part with Ben McLemore for Rajon Rondo. That must be it. And there's the small matter of that deal missing roughly $10 million in salary to make it work.
|Celtics trade rumor: Danny Ainge wants two first-round picks in exchange for Rajon Rondo
|02.17.14 at 4:05 pm ET
The first ambiguous Celtics trade rumor of NBA trade deadline week comes courtesy of Sam Smith at Bulls.com (h/t HoopsHype): "The asking price if you can get [Rajon] Rondo is said to be two unprotected first rounders."
Seven teams other than the Celtics currently own two first-round picks in the 2014 NBA draft: Charlotte, Chicago, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Utah. Only the 76ers and Magic currently own a pair lottery picks this June, and Philly already appears to have a point guard of the future.
Naturally, a host of other teams would have multiple picks to offer over the next couple years, but the hard part is also finding a lottery-bound trade partner with expiring contracts to match Rondo's $12 million salary (because who wants late first-round picks and more money on the books?). Plus, the Celtics already own as many as 10 first-round selections over the next five seasons, and at some point they have to find players rather than assets to rebuild the franchise.
|Celtics trade rumor: Brandon Bass is Danny Ainge's most likely deadline deal
|02.10.14 at 1:32 pm ET
Ten days before the NBA trade deadline, Celtics forward Brandon Bass is the most likely player on the roster to be dealt, according to a Sporting News report.
The Warriors, Bobcats and Suns are reportedly the most likely destinations for Bass, who is owed $6.9 million next season — the going rate for a player with his production (10.8 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 1.2 apg, 54.1 TS%, 15.0 PER, 1,425 minutes).
'He is a good fit in a lot of places,' a league executive told the Sporting News. 'He can start, he can come off the bench, he can make shots, he can play center against small lineups. A lot of teams need a guy like that."
Golden State's best offer? Something like Marreese Speights (owed $3.7 million next season), injured center Festus Ezeli, Jermaine O'Neal's expiring contract (bought out before he ever returned to Boston) and a future pick (the Warriors don't have a No. 1 this season). But does that really upgrade their roster?
The Bobcats could package either of their protected first-round picks (Blazers, Pistons) along with expiring contracts (Ben Gordon, Ramon Sessions) or recent lottery disappointments (Cody Zeller, Bismack Biyombo). Bass and Keith Bogans' expiring contract for Gordon's expiring deal and Portland's No. 1 pick is an intriguing possibility that would save the Celtics $6.9 million next season and another pick in the loaded 2014 draft.
Likewise, the Suns' best trade chips are Emeka Okafor's $14.5 million expiring contract and any number of four protected 2014 first-round picks (Timberwolves, Wizards, Pacers and their own). Given Suns general manager Ryan McDonough's prior work under Celtics president Danny Ainge, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the two sides hammer out a deal should their pursuit of Pau Gasol fall through. Bass and Jeff Green for Okafor's expiring contract and the Pacers pick would save the Celtics $25.3 million over the next two seasons, for example.
|Report: Danny Ainge shopping Jeff Green to Atlanta Hawks in possible trade
|02.09.14 at 7:16 pm ET
Danny Ainge might not be shopping Rajon Rondo but Jeff Green is another matter.
The New York Daily News reported Sunday that the Celtics vice president of basketball operations is shopping the forward around and the Atlanta Hawks reportedly have serious interest in acquiring him before the Feb. 20 deadline.
Green has $18.4 million left in guaranteed money after this season, including a player option for $9.2 million for 2015-16. He is leading the Celtics in scoring this season at 16.3 while playing in all 52 games through Sunday.
Sam Amick of USA Today reported Sunday that the Knicks might be willing to take on Green's contract or that of Gerald Wallace in order to entice Ainge to trade Rondo to the Knicks in exchange for a package that could include Amar'e Stoudemire and several young players.
The Hawks are clearly looking to add pieces to a roster they think can make a move in the underwhelming Eastern Conference this season. They stood 25-24 entering Sunday's action, in fourth place in the East, just a half-game ahead of Chicago Bulls.
We're hearing #Hawks looking to get Jeff Green, who is being shopped hard by Danny Ainge and the #Celtics.
