By ⋅ May 1, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Kenyon Martin guaranteed a Celtics “funeral” in Game 5, indicating he felt the Knicks would close out their first round series in Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. Didn’t happen. The Celtics beat the Knicks 92-86 to force Game 6 Friday night in Boston. The Knicks played up the hype even more before the game, looking [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 22

By ⋅ April 10, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

The playoffs are really starting to come into the picture with a week left in the season. Five of six divisions and the Eastern Conference are locked up. 15 of 16 teams have punched their tickets, leaving the Lakers and Jazz in a dogfight for the final spot, though Dallas is still holding out hope. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 21

By ⋅ April 3, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Just two weeks remain in the season. The Jazz and Lakers are still in a dead heat for the final spot, while the others are pretty safe, if not mathematically clinched. Still, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to play for. Avoiding Miami in the first round will certainly be a good race. The top spot [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 20

By ⋅ March 27, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

20 weeks into the season, and things are starting to come down to the wire. There isn’t much time left at all to make a move, yet only five teams have been mathematically eliminated so far. The Heat have opened a sizable lead in the East, while even San Antonio isn’t out of the woods [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 19

By ⋅ March 20, 2013 ⋅ One comment

The season is nearing an end, but there’s still plenty of movement afoot. The teams are just about set (though there is still some room to make it into the brackets in the West), though many teams are within a win or two (or as many losses) from changing multiple seeds at once. A pair [...]

Green’s Monster Game Not Enough For Celtics as Heat Extend Win Streak

By ⋅ March 18, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

It was deja vu for the Boston Celtics. In the 2007-08 season, the Celtics beat a Houston Rockets team on March 18 to end their 22-game win streak. Monday, the Celtics could not capitalize on a career-high 43 points from Jeff Green as the Miami Heat stretched their streak to 23 in a 105-103 victory. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 18

By ⋅ March 13, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s not much time left in the season. All teams have passed 60 games, but only Miami has clinched a playoff spot so far. And nobody has clinched ping pong balls yet, but will next game, in all likelihood. The biggest race by far is for the lowest seeds in the West; #7-#9 are separated [...]

Celtics Outlast Hawks in OT Thriller

By ⋅ March 9, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics improved to a miraculous 14-4 record since the season-ending injury to Rajon Rondo after a dramatic comeback by the visiting Atlanta Hawks was spoiled by a tie-breaking three-point shot by Jason Terry in overtime that led to a 107-102 win. The Celtics improved to 34-27, an identical record to their Eastern Conference [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 17

By ⋅ March 6, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

Now a week into March, the brackets are pretty set. The East is definitely set, with 7.5 games separating #8 from #9. The Lakers are still making a case in the West, but 2.5 games back may be too much when you have a poor road record in a powerful conference. Right now, Miami is [...]

Celtics Need to Play for Rest Rather Than Playoff Seeding

By ⋅ March 5, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

After winning three straight games, the Boston Celtics have just 23 games left before the playoffs are upon them. The Celtics still have a lot to prove on the road before the seeding is completed after the 82-game season. The Celtics stand just two games below the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and that [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 16

By ⋅ February 27, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re coming up on 60 games played in the season, and there’s still a lot to play for. Miami and San Antonio are still the teams to beat, but it’s a lot closer amid the rest. In particular, the race to avoid the worst West seeds is getting very heated, especially with San Antonio and [...]

The All Star Game is this weekend, and the playoff teams are starting to come into the picture. Miami is rebuilding a lead in the East, as San Antonio is starting to do out West. The teams in the middle are still fighting for position, which is extra important in order to avoid the hardest [...]

The Boston Celtics (28-24) have won eight of nine games after an ugly 71-69 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday nigh from the TD Garden. Both teams were without their star point guards, and offensive woes were the theme of the night as the Bulls suffered 22 turnovers and Brandon Bass had a game-high [...]

Mullens, Bobcats End Pierce’s Celtics’ 7-Game Win Streak

By ⋅ February 11, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics came up just short as Paul Pierce and Avery Bradley both missed three-point shots in the final 15 seconds in their 94-91 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. The Celtics came off an exciting triple-OT win over the Denver Nuggets at the TD Garden on Sunday, and couldn’t close the deal on the back-end of [...]
