Diagnosing the Ailing Celtics

By ⋅ January 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The NBA regular season is almost half-way over and the Boston Celtics sit at 27-13. The record has the Celtics atop of the Atlantic Division and leading the Toronto Raptors by 7.5 games. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the only Eastern Conference team with more wins than the C’s. Certainly, the Celtics are right where they want [...]

Poor Second Half Dooms Celtics in Detroit

By ⋅ January 21, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The Boston Celtics traveled to Detroit to face the Pistons Wednesday night, coming off of a tough loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. In general, the Celtics have seemed mired in a mid-season quagmire as they face injuries and what is only now becoming an easier schedule. The Celtics played well in the first [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 7

By ⋅ December 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

What fun we’re having. The Celtics are starting to build a mini lead in the conference. Three sub-.500 teams are in the playoffs, giving the best teams a virtual bye. The Lakers are doing just as well as everyone thought, but they’re not running amok with the West. Yao-less Houston is still pushing for a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 6

By ⋅ December 10, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Things are hot, with both conferences’ 8 seeds leading their closets contenders by half a game. The West is once again making its case for the elite conference, with not one team below .500 team in sight of a playoff spot. Speaking of which, the Nets actually won last week. Twice. And they’re only 15.5 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 2

By ⋅ November 12, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s been a fun week. The Bulls lost to the Nuggets when a basket, under review, was deemed fired off too late. The Celtics and Suns continue to impress. And Milwaukee leading the division? Pabst Blue Ribbon is a more popular Wisconsin product. And we’ve got the Mavs holding onto the division over the Spurs, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 0

By ⋅ October 29, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

It might seem a little soon to start this column after the second day of games, but there’s already been some interesting developments. Besides, this is the only way the Timberwolves and Thunder will make it in, so I’ll humor them. The Wizards were the first team to reach 100 points in a game, and the [...]

Pistons Hold Off Celtics 105-95

By ⋅ March 1, 2009 ⋅ One comment

With Allen Iverson in the starting lineup, the Pistons lost eight straight games. Without A.I. for the last two games due to back stiffness, the Pistons have taken down two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference on the road. Friday night, Detroit beat the Magic in Orlando 93-85, and Sunday afternoon, the Pistons [...]

Ain’t No Love In Motown!

By Da Boston Clover G Special to Sports of Boston (bostoncelticstoday.blogspot.com) The stage was set Friday night: Game 3 of 4 of the season series between the Celtics and Pistons at the Palace in Auburn Hills, MI. I can’t even explain to you how much hatred the fans of Detroit have for Paul Pierce and [...]

Garnett Helps Celtics to Win in Detroit

By ⋅ January 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Instead of destroying yet another opponent, the Pistons gave the Celtics a close game throughout. Close, but not nearly close enough. Would you believe that the Pistons never led in the game? The Celtics survived a rough game from Ray Allen, an ejection of Kendrick Perkins, and relatively little production from the bench to win [...]

Rondo Outplays Iverson in Celtics Win

By ⋅ November 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Initially, Detroit’s trade for Allen Iverson seemed to just set them up for a future spending spree in the 2009 or 2010 offseasons. They probably would make the playoffs with Iverson, but couldn’t expect anything big as they have in the past with Chauncey Billups. The Celtics made a trip to Detroit soon after the [...]

Will Antonio McDyess-It-Up in Boston?

By ⋅ November 11, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I sure hope so. If Antonio McDyess joins the Celtics this season, he would have a similar impact that P.J. Brown did last season. Brown was not very effective during the regular season as he worked himself into playing shape, but when it came to playoff time, Brown was extremely effective. He hit huge shots [...]

Tony Allen Leads Way in Dominant Win over Pistons

By ⋅ November 9, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Tony Allen has come a long way from his horrific injury during the 2006-07 season. Last year, he was the eighth or ninth man off the bench and played relatively well, but played as if he was favoring his injured knee. Who wouldn’t? He had major knee surgery. Less than two years removed from the [...]

Celtics One Step Ahead of Pistons

By ⋅ November 7, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

On Monday, the Pistons traded Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess, and Cheikh Samb to the Nuggets for star guard Allen Iverson. At first look, it appears the Pistons have pushed in all their chips and mortgaged thier immediate future for success this season. But, beneath the surface, it appears GM Joe Dumars has outsmarted us all…that [...]

Nuggets Trade Iverson to Pistons for Billups and Others

By ⋅ November 3, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

The Denver Nuggets are taking a new fresh approach at trying to get out of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. They have traded Allen Iverson to the Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups with the hope of getting a truer point guard to pair with Carmelo Anthony. Also heading to Denver in the [...]

Flip Saunders Out as Coach

By ⋅ June 3, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Late Breaking news from Detroit as the Pistons have said Flip Saunders will not be returning as head coach next year. Just days after losing to the Celtics in six games, the Pistons – who have just one NBA title out of six straight trips to the Conference Finals – have decided to go in [...]
