Ray Allen and the path of least resistance
Yesterday I caught some excerpts from Ray Allen’s introductory press conference down in Miami, which somehow went on without the use of pyrotechnics, dry ice, or predictions about winning 8…
Regarding Ray: Were Ainge and Riley playing tug-of-war or keep away?
While driving back from the Cape today I listened to WEEI’s Butch Stearns spend more than an hour chatting with callers about Ray Allen’s departure from the Celtics. What did…
Thoughts on the Celtics’ Future
It sucks that the Celtics lost another big series when up 3-2, and it sucks that they did so in the same way they did last time (games 6 and…
Why the Celtics will prevail in Miami
Overshadowed by LeBron James‘ Chamberlain-esque performance in Boston on Thursday was the fact that the Celtics actually matched up very evenly with the Heat in just about every stat except…
LeBron, Wade, and affirming the concept of “team”
We all remember it. In one of the quickest moves of his career, LeBron James went from being one of the most popular NBA players to being one of the…
Can the Celtics keep this up?
When Keyon Dooling hit his second consecutive three pointer (yes, you read that right) with 9:45 to go in the 2nd quarter last night, Boston led 45-28. The Celtics had…
It’s funny how the Heat think acting like princesses is the right move
There are two plays from Game 3 the other night that jump out at me. The first occurred with 4:50 to go in the 4th quarter. Ray Allen fouled Lebron…

The NBA’s suicidal coddling of its stars
Everything that needs to be said or written about Game 2 of the Celtics-Heat series has been said or written already. Nonetheless, a few thoughts: 1. Any pro sport that…
The Celtics are in big trouble without Avery Bradley
At the beginning of the Heat/Pacers series I said that the Chris Bosh injury shouldn’t make a difference for Miami. I’d never before wanted so badly to be wrong about something I…
I have unlimited faith in the C’s right now
If you’ve ever been to a Celtics game with me, you may already know that the one thing I pay more attention to than any other is Rajon Rondo’s stat…
Well that was a surprise…
I’m still in a minor state of shock from what I witnessed at the Garden on Sunday afternoon. Saturday I wrote that the Celtics had reached their high water mark of the…
Rumors of the Celtics Demise are Greatly Exaggerated
I know this blog has been overly Celtics heavy of late; but they just keep doing such surprising things, so I don’t really have a choice. The two spectacular victories…
a LOT happened in sports yesterday
Serena Williams lost in a big upset at the Australian Open. I’ve never liked Serena because I think she beats people just by being bigger and stronger, not because she’s…
Do you Miss the NBA?
The Celtics have always been my team. I’ve unconditionally loved every player whether they be Paul Pierce, Vin Baker or Bruno Sundov. I have seen the brilliance that could have…
