Led by Carmelo Anthony’s triple double, the hot-shooting New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics, 118-108, Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. The game resulted in a season-split between the teams. The Knicks improved to 14-5 under interim coach Mike Woodson.

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 [...]

Celtics Outlast Hawks in OT

By ⋅ April 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics continue to play like a team of champions. After defeating the Miami Heat on Tuesday, the team beat the Atlanta Hawks in overtime, 88-86, Wednesday night on the road. The Celtics could very well face the Hawks again in the first round of the playoffs. Garnett was a key contributor for Boston, [...]

Stiemsma, Celtics Bench Key in Win Over Bucks

By ⋅ March 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Greg Stiemsma played his best defense of the season in his Wisconsin homecoming as the Boston Celtics beat the Milwaukee Bucks 100-91 Thursday night. Stiemsma recorded five blocks and four steals off a Celtics’ bench that scored 29 points combined. Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 25 points and nine rebounds, passing Clyde Drexler for [...]

Garnett Leads Celtics Over Warriors in Defenseless Third Game of Road Trip

By ⋅ March 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Sometimes in basketball you can win shooting worse than your opponent. You can get beat in the paint, you can turn the ball over too much. You can even do all three and still win. Because sometimes, all you need is Kevin Garnett. Garnett scored 24 points on 11-for-15 shooting, including a jumper with the [...]

Bynum Fuels Dramatic Lakers Win over Celtics

By ⋅ March 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Andrew Bynum is having some kind of year for the Los Angeles Lakers. The big seven footer made a hook shot with just over 15 seconds remaining in regulation to give L.A. a three-point lead, and the Boston Celtics’ inability to get a good look for the tie resulted in a 97-94 loss on Sunday [...]

By ⋅ March 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Evan Turner scored a career-high 26 points and added nine rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers crushed the Boston Celtics, 103-71, Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center. The victory now pulls the 76ers two games ahead of the Celtics for the Atlantic Division lead and the fourth-seed in the playoffs.

Like in 2007-08, Championship Celtics can be Built Around Rondo

By ⋅ March 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Michael Felger said on Felger and Mazz Tuesday that “teams can not be built around a point guard. It does not work” I disagree: with the proper players around Rajon Rondo, he can lead a team and win championships. He might not average 20 points per game, but he can absolutely be the foundation of something [...]

Celtics Report Card: No Need for Negativity

By ⋅ March 6, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

If there were any time for the Boston Celtics to make a statement, this past week was certainly a good one. Though Boston tackled only one team in the playoff picture during this four-game stretch, they had lost five straight before the break and were facing the three teams immediately surrounding them in the Eastern [...]

Celtics Starters Dominate Bucks, Win Second Straight

By ⋅ March 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics have heard the same criticisms over and over this season: Their starters are too old. They can’t put up big scores. They can’t rebound. Wednesday night at the TD Garden, at least for a night, they silenced their critics. Every Celtic starter scored in double digits, and the Celtics grabbed a season-high [...]

Nowitzki, Mavericks Crush Shorthanded Celtics

By ⋅ February 21, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Hmm… let’s see. The Celtics struggled badly with rebounds Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. They also couldn’t move the ball offensively, find open shots or accomplish anything in the paint. The Celtics played the Mavericks without Kevin Garnett (family matter), Brandon Bass (knee) and Rajon Rondo (two-game suspension). They lost to the Mavericks, 89-73. [...]
