Celtics Report Card: Resting the Starters (I Guess)

By ⋅ April 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics have locked up the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. But because NBA playoff rules for some reason give the #5 seed home-court for the first round if they have a better record, the Celtics may have to start on the road. That makes sense, except that it completely obsoletes the [...]

Celtics Report Card: Even a Raptors Loss Can’t Faze Me

By ⋅ April 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Normally a loss to the lowly Toronto Raptors (missing Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani, no less) would have me in fits. But this is no normal season, and this wasn’t a normal week. The Boston Celtics took two of three in their one and only back-to-back-to-back of the season, including a win without any members [...]

Strong 3rd Quarter Powers Celtics Past Nets

By ⋅ April 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston got a good challenge from lowly New Jersey, but even the presence of Rex Ryan couldn’t get the Nets past Boston (who took the win 94-82). Boston had trouble getting ahead of New Jersey early, and couldn’t get past a five-point lead in the first five minutes without New Jersey immediately making a move [...]

The Celtics now trail the idle Indiana Pacers by just two games for the third [...]

Celtics Report Card: Better than the Red Sox

By ⋅ April 10, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m just going to go ahead and say it: 2-2 looks a whole lot better than 0-3. Maybe it isn’t fair to compare the Boston Celtics’ week, as they round into end-of-season form, to that of the Boston Red Sox, but after witnessing the debacle in Detroit, somehow I find myself forgiving Boston’s basketball darlings [...]

Celtics Report Card: No Longer Feeling the Heat

By ⋅ April 2, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Don’t look now, but the Boston Celtics are playing like they have a fighting chance at contending for one last championship in the Big Three era. The Celtics have charged into both first place in the Atlantic and the top half of the Eastern Conference with five wins in a row and seven of their [...]

Celtics Report Card: 76 Reasons to be Dissatisfied with 3-1

By ⋅ March 26, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

When I tuned in at the end of the first quarter in Atlanta to find the Boston Celtics down 15-12, I thought for a second I was having flashbacks to the week before, when I went to see my alma mater’s girls’ basketball team in the state championship. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I begrudgingly [...]

Avery Bradley Leads Celtics Past Wizards

By ⋅ March 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Just two days after the emotional head injury to Mickael Pietrus, the Celtics returned to action Sunday, defeating the Washington Wizards 88-76.
