I actually love lists like this. It's from the Wages of Wins Journal… and it's a ranking of EVERY Celtic since 1977… according to wins produced with the Celtics (via CelticsBlog).  Wins produced (explained here) is clearly not the be-all end-all statistic on which to rank players.  It can produce some weird results.  But it [...]

One thing has been made clear on this site for quite some time: We love Rajon Rondo.  We've been saying for quite some time that he belongs in the same sentence with the other elite point guards in the league.  He's in the process of getting the keys to the team from the Big 3… [...]

The Celtics have been driving with the gas light on for a long time (like Kramer in that Seinfeld episode).  And last night, they just ran out of gas.  Paul Pierce said so. “We still had our chances. I thought going into the fourth quarter, I think we were down five or six, and we’ve [...]

It's become very clear that the Celtics simply don't have enough left to win a championship (although I will still find some way to explain how they could if they win game 7).  They are too hurt… too run down… too reliant on guys who should be getting 15-20 minutes per game, rather than 35-40.  [...]

Getty Images So that's how Orlando felt after Game 5. The Celtics scored a whopping 29 second half points.  Their last points of the game were scored by Rajon Rondo at the 3:46 mark.  Orlando erased a 10 point Celtics lead halfway through the 3rd quarter to force a game 7 Sunday night.  Box Score [...]

3 @ 2 Thursday, May 14, 2009 7:00 pm ET Amway Arena (Orlando, FL) The fourth quarter of Game 5 was gut-check time, and the Celtics answered the call. Trailing by as many as 14 points in the final frame, Boston rallied behind a hot streak from Stephon Marbury and pulled out a monster four-point [...]

I touched on this yesterday, but only because I knew I wanted to do more on it today.  Stephon Marbury saved the Celtics last night with an amazing 12 point burst in 6 minutes in the 4th.  The first basket was scored at 11:04.  The last point came on a free throw at 5:54, after [...]

Ray Allen sucked in this game.  In fact, everyone sucked for 3 and a half quarters.  But the C's scored 33 points in the 4th quarter… led by Stephon Marbury's 12 points and Ray Allen's clutch 3 with 1:20 left.  The C's had no business winning this game.  If I was a Magic fan, I'd [...]
