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. So the big question is, should the Celtics sprint to the finish line, or coast into the postseason allowing their veteran starters to rest? It’s an interesting question, and not an easy one to answer. The [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 22

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 [...]

Most NBA players and coaches agree that March is the most trying month of the season. With the playoffs still well over a month away, teams are simply looking for consistency in the wake of injuries and long road trips. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks, two teams who made their teams significantly better at [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 19

Another week is gone, but some special things have happened. Cleveland became the first team to win 50 games, which if you look back on the last couple of years, anoints them as the next NBA champions. Cleveland has also become the first team to clinch a spot in the playoffs, while New Jersey (on [...]

Pierce’s 27 Lead Boston Past Charlotte

By ⋅ March 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics and Charlotte Bobcats met up Wednesday night at the TD Garden. The Celtics were coming off of a tough road win against the Detroit Pistons. What they got was exactly what they needed: an easy win. Boston built a nine point lead in the first half and kept the pressure on in [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 16

By ⋅ February 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There was an All-Star break in the middle of last week, but there’s still plenty going on. The Lakers and Cavs are the clear favorites to meet in the Finals, while the Nets, despite a win in Charlotte Tuesday, are still on track to set the NBA’s all-time worst record at 8-74. And it seems [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 15

By ⋅ February 11, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We’ve seen a lot of seed juggling over the past week. Utah’s former nine-game win streak helped, but Cleveland is opening a wide lead thanks to their active 12-game win streak. Two non-division leaders are in the #3 positions, because of Utah’s performance and Boston’s failure to capitalize on a rough Hawks’ loss. There’s still [...]

Celtics to Trade Big Baby to Bobcats for Augustin?

By ⋅ February 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics and Bobcats are reportedly talking a trade that would send Glen Davis to Charlotte for point guard D.J. Augustin. The two teams make a good match: the Bobcats have been looking for a power forward, while the Celtics have been looking for a legitimate backup point guard. Davis has had problems this season [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 14

By ⋅ February 4, 2010 ⋅ One comment

There’s been some movement over the past week, particularly in the lower seeds of the Western Conference, where the Grizzlies have faded back out of the race, 1.5 games behind the Blazers. The lower East seeds have kept playoff spots, but have shuffled the first round match-ups around. Also, remember when the Celtics lost only [...]

The season’s cruising along, and it won’t be long before we’re talking playoffs. As expected, the Lakers have a comfortable West lead, and the Cavaliers are right back where they were last season. And thanks to some recent good fortune, so are the Celtics. The East’s final spots have stabilized nicely, while the West’s final [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 12

By ⋅ January 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With the season about half over now, plenty of teams are worthy of attention. Who would have thought the Bobcats would be #5, especially after a 39-point obliteration of Miami? Memphis is knocking on the door out West, and New Orleans, New York, and Milwaukee aren’t that far out either. The Celtics can’t hold a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 11

By ⋅ January 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Teams have started to settle into their positions as we approach the half-way mark of the season, but plenty of spots are ripe for the taking. Only three teams are not within 5.5 games of a playoff spot. The Bucks are not in a playoff spot, but are 2.5 games away from #5. Similarly out [...]
