Celtics have gone to the dogs

BOSTON -- Welcome to the dog pound.

After Kevin Garnett dubbed the backcourt duo of Avery Bradley and Courtney Lee "The Pit Bulls," the two guards have come up with nicknames of their own.

This week Bradley and Lee were discussing the reference and decided to call the rest of the Boston Celtics "The German Shepherds."

"We're going to continue to fight," said Lee. "We've got fighters on the team."

Lee expanded on the nickname and branched out for other players. He referred to Garnett as a rottweiler and Brandon Bass and Jeff Green as black labs.

"We just have a deep team," said Bradley.

Any weak links?
