VIDEO: Doc Rivers Press Conference Following Sunday’s Loss to Pistons

By ⋅ January 21, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

It has been a roller coaster-like season for the Boston Celtics, especially for their head coach Doc Rivers.

Now, they have lost three straight, unable to escape the label of being a .500 team [...]

Garnett, Celtics Fall Back to .500 With Loss to Pistons

By ⋅ January 21, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

After winning six straight games, the Boston Celtics were looking to be one of the teams contending for home-court advantage in the playoffs, but three straight losses is not what the Doc ordered.

By ⋅ November 21, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Thanksgiving is upon us, but I can hardly give thanks for the tragic news out of the Boston Celtics. Brace yourselves, Celtics fans. Darko Milicic will no longer be wearing the Celtic green.

By ⋅ February 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

On Wednesday night, the Boston Celtics let a home game slip away against the then 8-22 Detroit Pistons. Strike one.

Celtics Bludgeoned by Pistons… Again

By ⋅ February 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

In all fairness, the Detroit Pistons (11-22) have been doing much better as of late. However, the Boston Celtics losing five of six games – including two to the Pistons in the last week – does not inspire confidence in the fans. The Celtics’ 96-81 loss at the Palace of Auburn Hills Sunday evening punctuates [...]

Rondo Leads Shaq-less Celtics Past Pistons

By ⋅ November 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

While Republicans were busy winning House and Senate seats in 49 other states (the Democrats swept Massachusetts in the House again), the Celtics were busy heading up to Motown to duke it out with the winless Pistons. These aren’t your father’s Pistons, or even the Pistons of 2008. These Pistons are a real sorry bunch, [...]

Pierce, Celtics Clobber Pistons

By ⋅ March 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After a demoralizing loss to the Cavaliers on Sunday (come on, who thought the Celtics would win in Cleveland?), the Celtics had to get right back on the horse for a game Monday night at home against the Pistons.
