Celtics came-out of the gate on fire tonight. KG was hitting shots early & often, the defense was focused & guys had a spring in their step. Rajon was distributing the ball well from the jump- he had 5 assists in the first quarter alone to help get the C’s out to an early 26-12 [...]

The Boston Celtics have some very big problems right now.  I stress right now because it’s way too early in the season to get TOO worked up.  but I stress “very” because the Celtics problems are really, really, really quite bad.   Don’t let the 11 point final spread fool you, the Celtics got blown [...]

I know it’s October, but I expected so much more from the Celtics. After all the talk about the Heat and Ray Allen, I expected the defensive intensity to be there. It wasn’t. And the Heat rolled 120-107. LeBron James had 26 points in 29 minutes. If he doesn’t sit out most of the 4th [...]

Despite some nice play early on, and a promising burst at the beginning of the 2nd half, the C’s were inconsistent this evening. They fall at home to Philly 88-79. Turnovers were once again a problem as the Celtics had 7 of them before the end of the 1st quarter. The offense looked a bit [...]

After starting slow and sluggish, the Celtics used a 24-9 run to close out the first half and never looked back.  The Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire-less Knicks jumped out to a 28-15 first quarter lead against the KG and Paul Pierce-less Celtics and actually led by as many as 19.  Jeff Green led all [...]

The Brooklyn Nets wanted this game. We knew that when Avery Johnson rested his starters on Tuesday night. The new look Nets were on national television in their new arena against the Celtics. How did Brooklyn respond? They got steamrolled. The Celtics were aggressive on both ends of the floor and dominated this game from [...]

I lost a lot of interest in this preseason game once I learned that New Jersey Brooklyn would not play Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries and Brook Lopez – a group otherwise known as its starting five. Regardless of who was on the floor for New Brooklyn, I wanted to see the [...]

[This recap brought to you by Ben F.] To sum this game up in six words: The Sixers tried, the Celtics didn’t. The C’s do have five games in seven nights but it would have been a bit encouraging to see them try a little more. Between the 38% shooting and the 20 turnovers (which [...]

Doc Rivers let the a bunch of guys who’ll probably never make the team finish the game against the Knicks, and they ended up dropping this one in OT, 98-95.  Chris Copeland ….. I’ll wait for you to Google him….. …. dropped 21 second half points for the Knicks in the win.  The Celtics were [...]

The Celtics weren’t about to become the first NBA team to drop both games in an NBA Europe trip.  Rajon Rondo dominated the first quarter, the second unit pulled away in the second quarter, and then it was all a breeze from there in a 105-75 win. Here’s what stood out: Rondo, obviously, off the [...]
