This article can also be found at North Station Sports Since day one, I have been a fan of Doc Rivers. I liked him as a player and appreciated him as a coach. The former NBA point guard seemed perfectly equipped to handle the mega-ego's dropped on his clip board in the Summer of 2007. He proved that his freelance style of player-coaching was just what the Doctor ordered for ...

This article can be viewed at North Station Sports After leading the Boston Celtics to the NBA championship two season's ago and overcoming injuries to key players last season, Doc Rivers' day's on the Boston bench may be limited. It seems as if the coach of the 2010 Celtics has swayed in and out of control over his team as often as the Celtics have shifted from mediocre to championship potential ...

This Article Can Also Be Found At North Station Sports The Boston Celtics have been squeaky clean. They have perfectly embodied the definition of Celtic-Pride. They played as a team, unified by one common goal. This line-up implanted the Ubuntu-Theory into the history book’s of the Celtics vaulted library of championships. They made us proud to be fans and highlights of their championship run sat perfectly comparable to the grainy images ...

This article can also be viewed at North Station Sports I often refer to "basketball purgatory" in my description of the Celtics' 22-season drought that spanned from 1986 to 2008. As a die-hard Celtics fan, the Post-Bird Era was very difficult to watch. It was hard to watch Rick Pitino dethrone Red Auerbach from his honorary role as team president. It's still difficult to watch clips of Pitino saying, "Larry Bird is ...

This article can also be viewed at North Station Sports As a long time fan of the Boston Celtics, I had the privilege of watching Larry Bird, Kevin Michale, Dennis Johnson and Robert Parish play into the twilight of their career's. What a time that was for the NBA. The basketball world seemed to revolve around the Boston Celtics in the east and the Los Angeles Lakers in ...

In 1998, when Paul Pierce was selected tenth in the NBA draft, it was looked upon by many Celtics fans as a short consolation prize for the unlucky drop of the lottery balls in 1997. A year later, Pierce instead of Tim Duncan, would join Celtics star Antoine Walker. Averaging 16 points and 6 rebounds per game, Pierce was named to All-Rookie team in 1998. A team packed with three ...

It's an unbelievable thought that it is now January 2010. It seems like yesterday we were watching the Celtics struggle through the 2009 NBA playoffs, depleted of bench options. The 2009 Celtics were forced, through injuries, to display a toughness not seen from a defending NBA champion in some time. A team decimated by injuries to key players were thrust into the shallows of the early rounds of the playoffs. Facing ...

Without Paul Pierce, the Boston Celtics have a decent look into the future of the franchise. Rajon Rondo (30 points, 3 rebounds, 15 assists, 11-18 shooting, 7-9 from the line), looked to be a man on a mission to rebut his late game free throw misses in the Celtics loss to the Clippers a night earlier. Rondo, in the last three outings, has given Celtics fans a glimpse into the post ...

by Lee Herman Lee covers the NBA and Boston Celtics for North Station Sports. I have mixed feelings about Paul Pierce blogging.á ItÆs like when you ask for no mayo on a WendyÆs spicy chicken sandwich but it comes slathered in the disgustingness that is egg whites fermented by the sun.á Ok, maybe thatÆs not how itÆs made but itÆs still disgusting.á At any rate, you are pumped to have that sandwich ...

by Calvin Chamberlain You can find more of Calvin's great work at North Station Sports As Kobe BryantÆs body rose up over the 6Æ2ö frame of Charlie Bell in the closing seconds of a recent overtime game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Celtic fans and Bucks announcers across America screamed ômiss it!ö. Surprisingly, the ball went in. There is a secret the rest of the NBA doesnÆt seem to know about Kobe: over ...
