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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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  [...]

I’ll say this for the Boston Celtics, they didn’t give up.  They were down 20 in the third quarter, but they made a big run to cut it to single-digits by the 4th.  But the Celtics just couldn’t keep pace with Golden State.  As Doc says, it’s a make/miss league, and the Celtics missed.. a [...]

    Well for those that fell asleep waiting for the game to start after Darren Collison hit the shot of the year, you really didn’t miss much.  The Clippers got out to a huge lead early and the Celtics couldn’t buy a bucket tonight as the Clippers win their 15th straight in a 106-77  blowout. [...]

The Celtics score an impressive 93-76 win over the Nets in Brooklyn on Christmas Day. Boston was in quite the battle for most of the 1st half, but pulled away in the end behind some great defense and a total team effort. Rajon Rondo led all-scorers with 19 points to go along with 5 assists [...]

I don’t know where to start, so I’m just going to get to the point: other than Paul Pierce, the C’s basically could not hit a shot to save their lives for most of the 2nd half and OT. Monta Ellis and the Bucks hung-around all evening and finish the Celts off 99-94 in OT. [...]

In the effort at full disclosure, I proclaimed Paul Pierce “finished” during an afternoon IM session with John. I may have been wrong. The Truth torched Cleveland for 40 points and 6 three pointers in the Celtics 103-91 win. The Cavs are awful and played without  Anderson Varejao (knee) tonight, but who are we to [...]
