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 [...]

So Ray Allen is struggling a bit.  It happens. They're hounding the hell out of him and it's thrown him off.  So I, being a caring human being, decided that I'm going to do what I can to help.  So I turned to the one man that can help Ray Allen:  Ray Allen.  Hope it [...]

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 I feel hungover, but I didn't drink last night.  I'm trying to look at game 6 and figure out why we couldn't seal the deal.  But after 6 games of similarly inconsistent play, I'm at a loss for anything new to say.  So I'll just let Rondo sum it up for me. “We [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

2 @ 2 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 8:00 pm ET TD BankNorth Garden (Boston, MA) Quick game note:  Kendrick Perkins says he's fine. Kendrick Perkins, who suffered a strained left shoulder in the fourth quarter of Game 4 on Sunday, participated in the Celtics' shootaround this morning and will start tonight in Game 5. "It's [...]

Celtics-Magic game 4 mix from John Karalis on Vimeo. NSFW Lyrics A few days ago, I unveiled my first project with my new computer set-up: a modified Celtics logo where Lucky is flipping the bird.  Now, I've got another project: a mix from Game 4 set to music.  The music is "Are You Ready" by [...]

A lot of talk this morning will be about Big Baby nailing that shot a the buzzer.  And it should be. That was a cool as ice moment and clearly the biggest shot of his life.  But some of that talk should go Paul Pierce's way, too, because I don't know if ANY other star [...]
