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…
A moment that defines a city
As you’re undoubtedly aware of by now, the Miami Heat knocked the Celtics out of the playoffs in Saturday night’s Game 7. While in years past, this would have been…
Thank you, Celtics.
There’s a good chance we’ll never see all four of these guys in green again. If that was the end, it’s been a great ride. The first game I…
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…
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…

Maybe the C’s should tank Game 1 tonight
With 8:41 to go in the 4th quarter Thursday night Kevin Garnett knocked down a turnaround jumper with a hand in his face for about the millionth time in the…
Pierce, Rondo Pick Apart Hawks in Game 4
The Celtics started the second half yesterday with a 16-2 run to build an 80-43 lead, and with 8 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter the game was over….
Is Rondo Due To Break Out Tonight?
A re-occurring theme in Rajon Rondo’s career is this: whenever the Celtic’s point guard is faced with adversity, he plays his best basketball. It seems like every time we hear…
The Celtics are tough, what else is new?
With three minutes to go in the 3rd quarter last night, the Celtics trailed the Hawks 65-54. I have to admit I was getting so frustrated that I changed the…
Final thoughts on the Celtics regular season
Before the season started I wrote that Boston would finish with a record of 37-29. I missed by two games, as they went 39-27. I could blame the Heat and Bucks…
