We would all like to describe our team as confident and capable. We know from experience that the Boston Celtics are just that. Friday night's loss against the lowly Philadelphia 76ers, without Allen Iverson, would defy that description. It is apparent, through the manner in which this game was lost, that the Celtics felt comfortable with their 15-point first-half lead and coasted. Their "cruise control" mentality is what ultimately led to ...

View the entire story at North Station Sports I knew it was coming. No shock here. Brad Miller's throwdown of Rajon Rondo came early in Saturday night's match up between the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls. Despite the media's attempts to make this a rivalry, Boston once again showed that last spring's ultra-competitive series against the inferior Bulls was a total fluke. Miller's clothes line of Rajon Rondo was, in my mind, ...

by Shawn McGrath or North Station Sports In a lot of ways, I want to be a LeBron James fan. I pull for the Celtics first and foremost, but I’m a realist as well, and it’s not hard to see that, without a serious overhaul in the next year-ish, the team’s window to contend for a championship won't extend too much further down the road (Ignore this statement if Rondo continues to ...

By Salma Mahmoud After the recent back to back losses by the Cavaliers, for the second time this season, I was totally frustrated and disappointed. And as I suffer from low blood pressure, I decided to calm myself down by staying in bed and trying to remember the good memories of the team, just to feel happy, even for a while. Cleveland began their 2008-09 season at 1-2, losing to the ...

The average NBA fan determines player dominance by their ability to score the basket and control games through well rounded scoring ability. Rajon Rondo, widely known as a horrid jump shooter, continues to prove that shooting isn't the only way to take over a game. Third in the NBA is assists (9.2 APG) and leading the league in steals (2.7 SPG), Rondo is, without question, a top tier point guard. He ...

You can read this full article at North Station Sports. Rasheed Wallace is never one to pull punches. He is always on the front lines, calling out referees’ inconsistencies. Friday night, following the Celtics win over Toronto, was no different. He told the media that he was assessed a technical foul unfairly, saying Hedu Turkoglu should have been given the T for flopping. He also broached the topic of Paul Pierce being issued ...

This complete article can be viewed at North Station Sports . Since joining the Celtics, there is always a point in the season where fans and sports analysts question Ray Allen's worth and statistical numbers. In 2008, questions (understandably) were raised during the first two rounds of the NBA playoffs. Allen struggled through some of the worst play of his NBA career during that stretch and the questions were swirling. Ray Allen ...

Have we all read enough regarding the Celtics struggles of late? I know I can barely get my fingers on the keyboard to write about it anymore. The Celtics' problems are so over analyzed in the blogging world right now. Why hasn't the ESPN hype-machine really honed in on it? Even NBATV is underplaying the team's recent record. Is it because we have a better finger on the pulse of our ...

When Shaq joined the Cavs, he announced that his motto is ôWin a Ring for the King.ö Now, as we are in the fourth week of the season, is it too early to analyze if this is going to work? IÆm not saying that I, or anyone else, knows if the Cavs are going to win the championship this year, IÆm just thinking outáloud about whether Shaq is the missing ...
