Gametime

I’ll just quote Chuck’s preview: This game screams letdown. The Celtics return from a two-day respite to face one of the worst teams in the league. We know what type of craptastic effort they are capable of in these types of situations. … This game will be closer than it should, but I’m not ready to [...]

The Celtics let a 17 point deficit dwindle down to two but Kevin Garnett & Paul Pierce  refused to let this game slip through their fingers. KG dropped 11 of his 17 in the fourth and Paul Pierce landed a big lay-up plus the foul as the Captain would lead the team with 23 points, as the [...]

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters Offense:     Defense:      Overall:  Kind of a blah effort from Rondo for most of the night.  He looked aggressive early, and he had spurts of energy, but overall, not much to speak of.  He had more energy [...]

The Celtics are an incredibly frustrating team to watch at times, and they did nothing to wash themselves of that image despite a eight point victory over the Phoenix Suns tonight. The Celtics held large double digit leads on the Suns on multiple occasions, only to blow both back down to single digits, or giving up [...]

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. Paul Pierce is this generations Reggie Miller for us Knicks fans. Tonight, watching this game, I thought the intensity was great. The fight and passion was fun to see [...]

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters Offense:     Defense:      Overall:  I tried to tell everyone Avery Bradley would be a game changer, and people still wanted to say “unless he grows a foot, I don’t see it happening”.  Well, now you see it [...]

Some things never change. The sun rises in the East, I get the pretty girl, and Paul Pierce owns the Knicks. In a game with playoff level intensity, the Celtics beat New York, 102-96. Paul Pierce (23 points, 6 rebounds) played the villain yet again, nailing the game-sealing dagger in Spike Lee’s grill with 45 [...]
