Do you know what just happened? Does anyone? I'll repeat what I said on Twitter earlier during the game. I've never seen a team so close in a basketball game but teeter so close to total collapse like the Celtics did all night. They had a million chances to fold, and it looked like they'd [...]
June 5, 2012 John - Red's Army Gametime Twitter / Pflanns: Chris Bosh is still a game via kwout Why would Miami play the guy if he's not ready to go full bore? Either Bosh is ready or he's not…. or Spoelstra is BS'ing us and he'll play 34 minutes. [...]
June 5, 2012 John - Red's Army Around the NBA As we wait for the tip in Game 5, enjoy some pics from Sunday's G4 win over the Heat. As always, some sweet GIFs after the jump… [...]
While most fans right now are trying to pretend that December, January, February and March didn't exist, that they weren't calling for this team to be blown up like Hiroshima and that they "believed all along" I'll be one of the few to step up and say…I didn't. I DIDN'T believe in this team, I [...]
June 5, 2012 Nick Sannicandro Celtics News Doc Rivers has, from time to time, shown he’s not entirely fond of last year’s Celtics team. He’ll tell you flat out that last year’s team was more talented than this one, but this one actually plays together. In a conference call today, less than a day removed from a tough, gritty win to even [...]
June 4, 2012 John - Red's Army Celtics News, Doc Rivers We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here's a look at some enemy chatter from Miami With a healthy 6-foot-11 Bosh in the fold, the Heat's attack can be stabilized again. The question is, will he be healthy? The truth is we don't know; heck, the [...]
June 4, 2012 John - Red's Army Enemy Chatter Mickael Pietrus is a funny guy. I don't just mean that in a "he makes everyone laugh" kind of way, although, he certainly does that. I mean it in a polite, flummoxed way. He has the ability to put the ball to the floor and drive, but he doesn't because he says he's been [...]
June 4, 2012 John - Red's Army Celtics News, Mickael Pietrus That was subtle, huh? First of all, I love any non-canned answer out of an athlete. Secondly, I love that Rondo blatantly called the Heat out for crying to refs during games. The sad thing is, it's not exclusive to the Heat. Hell, our guys do it too. But still… Rondo has no [...]
June 4, 2012 John - Red's Army Around the NBA, Rajon Rondo Doc Rivers has been stressing the post game so much that I wouldn't be surprised if the team put a shock collar on him and set it to go off 5 feet from the rim. And as you can see from one Jay's videos from the Greenlights earlier today, it really paid off. But the [...]
June 3, 2012 John - Red's Army Kevin Garnett Without actually going back and counting, I'm going to guess that easily more than half of what has been discussed on this site this year has been Rajon Rondo and his penchant for, to use the popular term for it now, disengaging from the festivities on the court. Everyone gets pissed off about it. Everyone [...]
