For those craving basketball in summer, we’re happy to announce the Celtics will participate in the Orlando Summer League (they will not field a team in Las Vegas). Boston joins the Nets, Pistons, Rockets, Pacers, Heat, Thunder, 76ers and Jazz. Each team will play 4 games and a playoff game. Who can we expect on [...]
May 30, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Celtics News, Summer League A season to forget ended at the Garden tonight. I’m thankful because I just can’t take it anymore. The Celtics played atrocious basketball for 39 minutes. The performance rivaled the worst of the worst in this decade. If Dan Dickau was on this team, Doc Rivers would have played him 44 minutes. The offense was [...]
May 3, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Gametime, Recaps J.R. Smith couldn’t make a shot last night… but he was apparently making a lot of them the night before… at a few NYC hotspots. However, it looks like Smith may have celebrated too hard the night before as pictures of Smith downing alcohol at a club have surfaced. Smith visited three clubs on Tuesday [...]
May 2, 2013 John - Red's Army Around the NBA, Gametime We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from New York. Go ahead and be afraid, New Yorkers. Your basketball team just wore black to another team’s burial — a really dumb thing to do — only for that team [...]
May 2, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Enemy Chatter, Gametime Is there anything better than watching somber Knicks fans walk out of Madison Square Garden on a night they hoped to win their 1st playoff series in 13 years? The Celtics scratched and clawed their way to a 92-86 win over New York in a game deemed the Celtics’ funeral by Kenyon Martin. Mr. Big [...]
May 1, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Gametime, Recaps I’m not thrilled this came up today while this series, technically, is still going on…. but Paul Pierce was asked about his future as a Celtic. Here’s part of what he said “Truthfully, I haven’t put too much thought into [the future],” Pierce said at the team’s morning shootaround at Madison Square Garden. The Celtics [...]
We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from New York. J.R. Smith thinks the New York Knicks would have swept the Boston Celtics if he had played in Game 4 of their first-round series. “Oh yeah, it would’ve been over,” Smith said after Tuesday’s [...]
April 30, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Enemy Chatter, Gametime Behind a huge OT from Jason Terry, some Truth heroics and Brandon Bass’ tough defense on ‘Melo, Celts avoid the sweep today. After watching a double-digit lead vanish (what is else is new), the C’s fought through some awful officiating, terrible offense of their own and beat the Knicks 97-90 in OT. Without JR Smith, [...]
April 28, 2013 KWAPT Gametime It’s over. The series. This season. And hopes that Paul Pierce and KG will contend for another championship. The Knicks beat on the Celtics all night and won Game 3, 90-76. It wasn’t that close. I know the Celtics have been an offensively challenged basketball team for years, and things took a turn for the [...]
April 26, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Gametime, Recaps We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here’s a look at some enemy chatter from New York. If you had told me in November that the Knicks would play the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs and that the deciding factor of the series [...]
