Behind Paul Pierce’s 17 points in the 3rd quarter, the Celtics prove that Celtic Pride is still alive, as they beat the Hawks 89-81 tonight in Atlanta. Celtics looked absolutely flat in the 1st & 2nd and trailed by 19 at one point, and 15 at the half. They were firing-up jumpers, playing awful defense [...]

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters Offense:     Defense:      Overall:  Rondo off the ball is a menace.  If this was football, we say he’s a great free safety but a bad cornerback.  With Bradley in the game, Rondo can roam into passing lanes [...]

Despite the proclamations of some people around here, the Celtics are not dead yet.  Neither team could hit a damn thing in the first quarter, but the Celtics went on a 17-3 run in the second quarter to take what amounted to an insurmountable lead.  The C’s lead never dipped below single digits after the [...]

After every game, we’ll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player’s overall value. Starters Offense:     Defense:      Overall:  Whether by injury, by choice, or by a lack of ability, Rondo’s defense has regressed badly.  Avery Bradley started out on Mike Conley, putting Rondo on Allen, and Allen promptly exploded for a [...]

From my game preview: This has to be a circle-the-wagons game. The C’s are coming off an embarrassment of a road trip. The Garden will be buzzing thanks to the long-awaited return of AB. The energy level will be high. I don’t know how they are going to do it, I just know they are [...]

Tip: 7:30PM     Court: TD Garden     Watch it: CSNNE    Hear it: WEEI Referees:  Joe Crawford, Leroy Richardson and James Williams Tickets to this and other great Celtics game The Matchup Record: 14-16 Record: 19-9 At home: 9-5 On road: 6-6 Streak: Lost 3 Streak: Lost 1 Leaders Leaders Buckets: Pierce (19.9 ppg) [...]

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 Sacramento. Isaiah Thomas torched Boston’s vaunted defense through repeated drives to the basket and shots from outside. Thomas scored a season-high 27 points on 10-15 shooting and added 5 assists and [...]

If a 118 – 96 loss to the Kings isn’t rock bottom, I don’t know what is. I believe I heard Mike Gorman say this is the first time in 35+ years the Celtics have lost three straight games by 18+ points. This ain’t working… Box score  [...]
