boston celtics

Cue the people who think the Celtics get preferential treatment… Kendrick Perkins won't be suspended for his flagrant 1 against Mickael Pietrus.  Of course, we C's fans never thought it should be a consideration. [...]

Dwight Howard blocked a million shots last night… and once again… always from the help side.  He's just lying in wait.  And he's proved that you can't just loft one high off the board because he can go get that.  In fact, those little floaters are just begging for him to show off his jumping [...]

The Celtics porous defense has turned Anthony Johnson into Chris Paul. They cannot hit a jump shot. Ray Allen is playing worse than Tony Allen. Paul Pierce looks like J.R. Giddens. Anyone else fed up with this team's jekyll-and-hyde performances? The Celtics are down 19 in the 3rd quarter. I refuse to watch this garbage [...]

According to the Herald According to sources (confirmation on the record will be coming shortly), Rajon Rondo, Glen Davis and Kendrick Perkins have all been invited by USA Basketball to participate in the Senior Men’s Team minicamp this July in Las Vegas. The camp is part of the process for identifying the players who will [...]

1 @ 1 Friday, May 8, 2009 7:00 pm ET Amway Arena (Orlando, FL) Knotted at 1-1, the series has left Boston and made its way to Amway Arena in Orlando. The Magic were able to make things more interesting than the Celtics had expected, as they were able to steal Game 1 along with [...]

Back in March, Big Stan popped off about all the attention given to the Celtics injuries. And now that his starting point guard has been suspended one game for foolishly slapping Eddie House in the head, Big Stan is opening his fat trap yet again. Turns out, he's the only one still thinking about Rajon [...]

Meet 34-year old Anthony Johnson, Magic starting point guard for tonight's pivotal Game 3. I think it's safe to say Rajon Rondo poses a major match-up problem. Rondo is coming off an 18 assist performance in which he got into the paint at will with Rafer Alston covering him. What are the chances Johnson can [...]

Grab a piece of the pine, son… you've been suspended one game.  I'll reiterate how that screws Orlando because they're starting game 3 now with perhaps the worst point guard left in the playoffs trying to guard perhaps the best point guard in the playoffs.  Have fun with that. (via thirdquartercollapse) [...]

At least he can laugh about his foul trouble "That was the game plan — hack away at Paul and let Eddie House come in and score 30," Pierce said jokingly after a short practice today. "Great game plan. I always like to be out there playing, but, hey, the way we played and the [...]

Another look at Rafer Alston slapping Eddie House. In my opinion, anything less than a suspension is complete BS. But as I read over the league rules, there appears to be a loophole. According to the rule book, a technical foul shall be assessed for unsportsmanlike tactics such as: A deliberately-thrown elbow or any attempted [...]
