I'm not going to lie to you folks. I think Miami is going to win this series. When you look at this objectively, the Celtics are just too banged up. Without Avery Bradley, their best scoring option off the bench (Ray Allen) is now starting. Their only other option is Mickael Pietrus, who needs [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “(Going home) tomorrow was not an option,” Garnett said. “I think we played like it. We played with a sense of urgency and we understood what the [...]
May 27, 2012 John - Red's Army The Morning Dump It looked like a killer moment for the Celtics. Paul Pierce had committed his 6th foul with 4:16 left in a 3 point game. The tide appeared to be turning. This was truly a game changing moment. Except… It changed the game in the Celtics favor…. because Rajon Rondo went absolutely effing nuts. He scored [...]

May 24, 2012 John - Red's Army The Morning Dump I watch a lot of basketball. I’ve watched so much of the Celtics that I could black out like Will Ferrell did in Old School and spew a steady stream of information that I’d never remember knowing. As much as I like to goof around and keep the tone of things light, I’ve worked hard to get to [...]

Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. It's an article of faith that the closeout game is the toughest to win in a playoff series — and that certainly has been the case for [...]
May 23, 2012 Chuck - Red's Army The Morning Dump Enjoy some photos from last night's Bass-kicking of Philly in Game 5. As always, GIFs after the jump… [...]
Whether you want to believe Game 5 turned when Philly missed a chance to put up 4 points after clear path foul or when KG got called for an offensive foul on Spencer Hawes is up to you. Those were consecutive plays that happened over the span of 19 seconds, so arguing over it is [...]
May 22, 2012 John - Red's Army Gametime, Recaps I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Philadelphia. It was all Rondo. Yeah, it was also the big men hitting open jumpers, but he was getting them all those easy looks off the Sixers needing [...]
