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 [...]

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 [...]

Someone in the NBA T-shirt department needs to step up their game.  Is that really the best you can do?  These are official shirts.  I can make better shirts (proof here… and only $19.99!).  Lame.  Which I guess is fitting. (via Celtics Blog and TQC) [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]

The Celtics played extremely well last night. Great defensive intensity. Crisp ball movement (34 assists on 41 baskets). Pounded the paint (40 points, and one fantastic effort by Perk). And most importantly, they never let up. They didn't allow Orlando to creep back and take one morsel of optimism from this game. All this with [...]

  If I had told you Paul Pierce was going to score 3 points in just 15 minutes, yet the Celtics would destroy Orlando 112 – 94, you'd have thought I'd gone Paula Abdul crazy. Eddie House was Megan Fox hot tonight: 31 pts, 11-14 FG, 4-4 3FG. He hit some unbelievable shots in this [...]

1 @ 0 Wednesday, May 6, 2009 8:00 pm ET TD BankNorth Garden (Boston, MA) The outcome of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals was a tough one to swallow for Celtics supporters. Nothing went right in the first half, and that had everything to do with the intimidation factor of Dwight Howard. The [...]
