In the past if the Celtics had given up a third quarter lead, they would hang their heads and fail to do the little things that was necessary to get back in the game.  Last night in Dallas, they dug down defensively and harassed Dirk Nowitzki into a critical turnover when the game was still in doubt.  You saw the return of Paul Pierce, who for the past few ...

After failing to measure up to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday the Boston Celtics have taken advantage of playing on their home court.  They have gotten back to what they consider to be Celtic basketball—a hustling, physical defensive unit that covers up for the lack of athleticism on the team. The Celtics have now beaten the Detroit Pistons and the New York Knicks, two teams that have no hope of ...

Teams have always hated the Boston Celtics because of their history of dominating the NBA landscape.  Even when they were going through their struggles before the big three, teams enjoyed pounding them into submission. These days it doesn't take much for the Celtics to give up the ghost. Red Auerbach must be rolling over in his grave to see the players tarnish the Green of his beloved Celtics. It is a hard ...

Playing point guard in the NBA is not as easy as it may seem; you always have the ball in your hands and you have to make sure that your teammates stay happy.  It's especially difficult if you are not the main star on the team. Players like Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Derek Rose are the de facto standard bearers of point guards.  Rajon Rondo has just recently been acknowledged as part of that ...

The look on Rasheed Wallace's face says it all.  The Celtics cannot find their way out of this vacuum of ineptitude.  The Memphis Grizzlies held the Celtics to a 12-point first quarter and dominated the game.  Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo, and to some extent Michael Conley, simply got whatever shot they wanted.  Paul Pierce and Ray Allen continue their offensive funk and the Grizzlies took advantage of their lack of athleticism. The Celtics ...

First of all, I want to preface this article by saying I am not a Los Angeles Laker fan.  My basketball allegiance is to the boys in green, the Boston Celtics.  Therefore this opinion article is purely subjective and tinged with a bit of green. At some point in time a superstar truly embraces teaching his teammates and allows them to flourish.  The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves struggling to bring ...

Danny Ainge has tried to find some offensive balance for his beleaguered team.  Their mid-quarter offensive drought has taken away from the team’s defensive efforts.  Nate Robinson has been a willing student of 'ubuntu' and has re-energized the team. Ainge knows other teams are going to start making defensive adjustments to slow down Robinson.  He also knows Tony Allen and Marquis Daniels are not going to suddenly morph into offensive juggernauts.  Therefore, when the San ...

Last night's meltdown against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second half was a microcosm of the Celtics' 2010 NBA season.   Look closely and you can see the worn treads on the Boston Celtics sneakers. Take an even closer look and you will see the sneaker marks of the opposing teams on their backs while corralling a rebound. Most diehard Celtic fans may say, "Aww come on they didn't have Paul Pierce."  I ...

This is not an official rumour but I would like to start one and campaign for the Boston Celtics to get Larry Hughes. Yes, the trading deadline is over and he is officially the property of the Sacramento Kings; however, NBATV reported that the Kings are in the process of buying out h. is contract. Everyone knows about his messy divorce with Lebron.áLarry Hughes was Danny Ferry's first attempt to get ...

Boston has shown their mental toughness by overcoming injury concerns to three-fifths of their starting lineup.á The second unit was put to the test by winning without Garnett, Pierce and Rondo. They still own the best road record in the NBA and are mere percentage points behind Cleveland áfor the best record in the Eastern Conference.á The Celtics were reeling with back-to-back losses to the Clippers and Golden State both, under ...
