Rusillo tweeted about it, I didn't see who it was on NBA TV (only heard it in the next room) saying they liked it a lot.

Russillo's Tweet:  Love him RT @SeanGrandePBP: Confirmed...the Celtics will sign Vander Blue to 10-day contract. He'll join them for the game in Washington

Kudos to Van - here's hoping you make the most of your opportunity. Good luck, but let's hope it's not magic in a bottle that would take the C's out of position for the Wiggins/Parker/Randle troika.

Interesting that the few national people who have commented, seem to love Vander to the Celtics.
I hope and pray he plays the Sixers and drops 40 on them for cutting him in training camp. They never should have let him go in the first place..

Nice job, Van!

Hopefully brad stevens doesnt hold grudges.
Hold grudges? It was probably Brad Stevens who asked Ainge to bring him in...

I play Daily Fantasy Sports and saw this write up about Vander's signing.  Sounds like he's actually gonna get some decent run tomorrow night against John Wall and co.

"With Jerryd Bayless (toe) and Avery Bradley (ankle) both hurting, and Rajon Rondo not likely to play in back-to-back games, the Celtics are quite literally out of guards. Blue could actually see decent minutes tomorrow night, and the fact Bradley couldn't return to tonight's game, and the signing of Blue, suggest that Bradley could be sidelined for some time."
The Celtics are in tank mode..they just traded Marshon Brooks and Jordan Crawford and now Rondo is slow in getting back, Avery is down and so is Bradley?

My goodness....that is their entire guard line. Boston tanking hard. I find it ironic how all those guys went down all at once  like that.

The 2nd Half of the Butler game last March was the best stretch he ever had at MU. Could that have weighed on Stevens mind, assuming he was asked for input?

I wonder how long it will take Vander Blue to rack up some "Tommy Points" for the Celtics?

LOL...probably not long.

I wish I had league pass so I could rejoice when I hear Heinsohn award him one. Going to a iconic if not storied franchise.

Brad Stevens had some nice things to say about Blue and the Marquette Brand of Player.

“Vander is a tough kid. Vander is a guy who is a competitor,” said Stevens. “You look around the league and a lot of those Marquette guys have done really well in the league. You look at the (Wesley) Matthews and the (Jimmy) Butlers and that. I think he kind of fits that mold of a tough guy.”

He is certainly going to get his chance tonight to see what he can do against his long time friend John Wall!

Wow, 2 pts, 2 boards, an assist, 2 missed FTs and a turnover in 4 minutes. All over the place!
