Look Back

I can’t believe this happened FIVE four years ago. A lot has happened in five four years.  We came one knee injury short of another serious run and another knee injury short of, probably, another title. That stuff, unfortunately, happens. We’ll always have 2008, though, when we made it, Ma… we became certified… and anything was [...]

The Celtics tweeted out this video a little while ago.  It’s a nice thank you to the fans.  Not gonna lie… I’m a little upset that I’m posting this today and not in a couple of weeks with some clips of the parade.  I’m suddenly not as ok with things as I was earlier today.  I [...]

I’ve tried to write this piece, probably, 20 times by now.  I don’t know how to start it.  I don’t know how to properly capture what this team is or was.  What I do know is… when it was over, I loved these guys.  And I never really intended to. Here’s the season in a [...]

If you're not pumped-up for tonight's Game 7 of Celtics-Sixers, you may want to see your doctor. I've also got a short clip that may help. This is another in ESPN's "A Champion Will Rise" series. It features Larry Legend telling it like it is: "You don't play for stats…..your records will be broken….."   [...]

On Saturday night, the Boston Celtics will have one last shot at eliminating the Sixers. One last shot at moving on to the Eastern Conference Finals, and a chance to exact revenge on Miami. One last shot for the Big 3 to try and capture Banner 18. One last shot. I stumbled across this video [...]

As we are all wrapped up in the current group of Celtics and what is likely to be their final push for an 18th championship with this core, a discussion with a good friend of mine brought about the potential for what we both felt would be an interesting read for true Celtics fans; yes [...]

Larry Bird has been named the NBA's Executive of the Year. While Larry Legend probably doesn't give a crap, this honor puts him in a rare club: The Legend's trophy shelf was already full. Make room for another. The NBA announced on Wednesday that Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird has been named 2011-2012 Executive of the Year. [...]

Twitter / @ESPNForsberg: Celtics on floor for shoot … via kwout The second part of the headline isn't really true, but it should be.  It's probably the only way to keep Avery Bradley's shoulder in place for a few more games.   Actually the Celtics training staff has a new plan for Avery should the [...]

  May 22, 1988.  Game 7.  Eastern Conference semi-finals. Larry Bird and Dominique Wilkins engaged in a mano-a-mano battle for the ages.  Dominique finished with 47 points on 19-33 shooting.  Larry finished with 34 on 15-24 shooting… including the last bucket… a lefty layup after burning Nique in the post. Final score:  Boston 118 – [...]
