That was a giant shit sandwich.  The Celtics were expectedly fatigued in the first half, but they maintained a level of aggression that got them to the line a bunch, even in sloppy half court possessions.  But they completely went down the toilet for most of the second half. What kind of game was this? [...]

Tip: 7PM     Court: Time Warner Cable Arena     Watch it: CSN    Hear it: WEEI Referees:  Rodney Mott, Marat Kogut and Scott Wall Spread: BOS -3.5 Boston Celtics Tickets The Matchup Record: 27-23 Record: 11-39 On road: 8-14 At home: 6-19 Streak: Won 7 Streak: Lost 7 Leaders Leaders Buckets: Pierce (18.8 ppg) [...]

THAT WAS A DAMN BAR FIGHT!   After an atrocious reversal by the referees that led to Ty Lawson sending the game to overtime, this game went into a full-fledged bar fight.  It was sloppy, it was gritty, it was big shot after big shot, but eventually the Celtics outlasted the Nuggets, 118-114. So much to [...]

Prior to tonight, I had only read about the Lakers woes. Now I can provide visual confirmation – they are awful. The Celtics scored at will. You could count on an open 15-17 footer just about every possession. But the C’s didn’t settle. They continued the excellent ball movement (25 assists) and manhandled the Lakers, [...]

Allow me to be the first to reference a “turn back the clock performance” by Kevin Garnett.  KG put up 27 and 10 to carry the Celtics… and he did it in just 32 minutes and 18 shots.  Leandro Barbosa chipped in 14 points, 12 in the 4th quarter, to erase a 10 point Raptors [...]

Is this team bipolar or what? The Celtics tuned up the Clippers with 59 points in the first half. The offense was crisp, efficient and just plain smart. The defense was solid and the Clippers helped by playing sloppy. The combination resulted in a 19 point halftime lead. The second half was the exact opposite. [...]
