In case you haven’t noticed, Golden State’s Stephen Curry has elevated his game to a new level in the playoffs. He’s averaging 24. 3 ppg, 45% 3 FG, and 9.3 apg. He’s had TWO 22-point 3rd quarters in the Warriors playoff run, including a 44-point performance vs San Antonio last night. The 6th seeded Warriors [...]

After playing five games in seven days, the NBA schedule makers followed that up with one game in seven days for the Celtics.  Since we’re all missing the C’s right now, I thought I’d toss up some of Avery Bradley’s best defensive moments recently.  The majority of them are AB simply taking the other PG’s [...]

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 northern California. The second reason Curry impressed me is what he did to Avery Bradley. It can’t be overstated how great an on-ball defender Bradley is. He has achieved near-legendary status [...]

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. Avery Bradley had played a little more than half Curry’s 42 minutes, but it seemed like he was still guarding the Golden State shootist after the clubs [...]

Thanks to some aggressive defense by Avery Bradley and some creative defensive zones, the Celtics put the clamps on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors tonight.  Boston held Curry to 6-22 FGs and the Warriors to just 34% shooting for the game. The 94-86 win is Boston’s 8th straight at the Garden. The Green: [...]

If you missed Steph Curry last night, you missed one of the NBA’s all-time great shooting exhibitions.  Curry shot 18 of 28 from the field, including in insane 11 of 13 from 3. That “Phantom” video from the NBA gives you a nice look at the prettiest jumper in the NBA.  It’s absolutely perfect form. [...]

  We're still processing a lot of the survey results, but one thing kept coming up:  A lot of you didn't like the way we were doing our previews.  So we're changing it up a bit.  The people have spoken!  By the way, we'll be accepting responses to our survey for a while, so if [...]

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. C's guard Delonte West was with the Celtics in Washington, yet another example of his return being sooner rather than later. Injured players don't normally start to [...]

What have you learned between the game last night and today; and what did you think of some of your outside players like Rose, how they stepped up and were able to contribute? We were trying to learn about our younger players so we started a different lineup.  Before we talk about the outside, Lamar [...]
