Look Back

Five years ago to the day the Celtics were facing a Houston Rockets team that put together an unlikely 22-game win streak, good for second best in NBA history.  The night before, they had come back from being down 20-plus points against the Spurs in San Antonio.  In one of his first games as a [...]

As Ray Allen continues to flap his gums now that he is surrounded by the games biggest prima-donnas, one has to wonder if he is not only burning the bridge, but blowing the thing sky-high between he and Boston. The burns were bad enough that Ray opted to take less money to join the Celtics [...]

This is the final collection of GIFs from the 2011-12 C’s. These photos represent some of the best plays from the Celtics’ 2011-12 regular season. I went through GIFs from just about every single game and picked-out the best moments. They are not ranked in any particular order. I’m sure I probably missed some, but [...]
