Down 13 In 4th, Short-Handed Bobcats Shock Celtics 83-81

By ⋅ March 26, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Celtics lost five of nine heading into Friday night’s game against the Bobcats, but Charlotte was without leading scorer Stephen Jackson or second-leading rebounder Tyrus Thomas for the game, so the Celtics should have been able to take out the Bobcats with ease at home. For the first three and a half quarters, that was [...]

Celtics Back Down Against Bobcats

By ⋅ February 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

They just can’t win on the second game of back-to-backs. All season long the Boston Celtics have struggled to win in the second game of a back-to-back series.

Halfway through the season, and there’s great fun in futility. The Cavs are on pace for 15 wins, and are eight losses away from breaking their own record for longest losing streak ever. The Wizards are 0-21 on the road. But the Spurs have a six-game lead over the Lakers, and Boston is still a [...]

Celtics Survive Bobcats in Boston

By ⋅ January 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With Kevin Garnett out and Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine (O’Neal) out as well, the rest of the team needed to step up. And they stepped up enough to beat the Bobcats 99-94. Things started as a slug-fest; Boston could only managed a four-point lead early, but Charlotte kept it close. Some clutch shooting, including three [...]

Celtics Skin Bobcats on Road

By ⋅ December 11, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It wasn’t a pretty game, but mostly for the Bobcats, who lost to the Boston Celtics 93-62. That’s the lowest number of points allowed by the Celtics in a game all season.

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 6

By ⋅ December 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Ah, the East. Where you can be .381 and still make the playoffs. Where #5 and #6 can both be better than #4. And then there’s the West. Where a team that would challenge in the East is middle of the pack. Meanwhile, Dallas has built up 10 straight wins to challenge the Spurs, who [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 23

By ⋅ April 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Just one week remains in the season, and only one spot remains to be filled. It’ll be either Toronto or Chicago, and it’s pretty hard to go against Chicago after all those injuries to Toronto. Four divisions and one conference are locked up. Dallas has a magic number of two for their division, Utah and [...]

Celtics Need to Finish Strong

By ⋅ April 2, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

At 82 games, the NBA regular season is a marathon, especially for an older team like the Boston Celtics.

We start off with some sad news: thanks to a victory Monday, the New Jersey Nets now have 10 wins, and will not set the record for worst ever NBA record. A Native American is now shedding a single tear in lament. Boston has also slipped a spot after another rough spot; at least Miami [...]

Celtics Remaining Schedule: Scuffling for Seeds to End the NBA Season

By ⋅ March 30, 2010 ⋅ One comment

With just over two weeks left in the season, teams are engaging in their last minute pushes to improve their position. Except for the Celtics, that is, who were embarrassingly slaughtered from start to finish by the Spurs on Sunday. When an opponent can look like the UConn women against you, that’s never a good [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 21

By ⋅ March 25, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Three weeks remain in the schedule, and two more teams have punched their post-season tickets. There’s still a lot of close seeding to be hammered out. Remember last year when the Rockets could have ended anywhere from second to fifth on the season’s last day? Multiple teams could very well pull off something similar this [...]

Another week gone, about 15 games to go, the Magic have become the latest team to clinch a playoff berth, Cleveland has become the first division winner, and the Nets are on pace to win just under 8.5 games. And the brackets are pretty much set by now. Chicago could pick up the 2.5 games [...]
