Utah Jazz

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 Utah. (Alec) Burks, asked what it’s like to be playing against a star (Paul Pierce) having a great night: He’s nobody to me, you know? He made some shots. Everybody make shots, [...]

The young guns, specifically Avery Bradley, kept the C’s in this one, and the vets finished it off. Despite weary legs and some lapses in defense, Boston gets a gutsy 110-107 win in OT in Utah.  Paul Pierce took the game over late, hitting clutch shot after clutch shot in the 4th and the OT. [...]

What a game. So much to discuss… The Celtics beat the Jazz, 98-93, thanks to a mammoth effort from their bench. Led by Jeff Green (16 points) and Leandro Barbosa (16 points), the Celtics second unit pumped out 47 points. The highlight of the night was Green’s monster dunk in the face of Al Jefferson. [...]

The only thing better than watching KG punk Al Jefferson is listening to the whiny Jazz announcers. I don't understand the "fake toughness" label. Garnett is right in Jefferson's grill. And what's fake about that shoulder-to-the-jaw on the free throw line? It was an in-your-face dirty play. FYI – I wouldn't have blamed Big Al [...]

KG spoke w/WEEI's Mut and Merloni today on a multitude of topics. The Big Ticket had his 16 double-double of the season last night and his 7th in March. Hear what he had to say about playing center (he hates it. Really hates it)… how he's run through a brick wal for Doc, even if he [...]

(AP Photo/Elise Amendola)I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Utah. Then there was KG. The 17-year veteran that arrived in Boston during 2007 — in a deal that shipped Jefferson to Minnesota — looked years [...]

I have not seen a better 1st half from the Boston Celtics in a long time. Everything was clicking; Rondo was driving and dishing, Pierce was attacking, KG was nailing jumpers and everyone was playing great defense. The C's held the Jazz to 37% from the field, and only turned the ball over 2 times. Rondo [...]

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. “I’m happy to play with him,” Rondo said. “He’s a great listener. He wants to get better each day and he’s working hard. If I get a [...]

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. But when I asked Pierce if he wanted to end his career as a Celtic, there wasn't much passion in his response. It's probably a cautionary reflex [...]
