The Celtics have had their success so far this season against the Miami Heat, but Sunday night was a whole different story. With Chicago clinching the No. 1 seed in the East, the Heat and Celtics are now battling for the second and third seeds heading into the playoff. Miami definitely seemed to have more [...]
If the Miami Heat weren’t worried before, now might be the time to start. In a game that was never really close, the Celtics put on a virtual clinic beating the Heat 112-107 in a game they never trailed. The Heat kept insisting that they had become a better team since the last time these [...]
Fans might have a bit of déjà vu this upcoming spring since Tuesday night’s game between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat seemed just like a playoff game. The weather was surprisingly warm, the T.D. Garden was packed, and two of what should be the Eastern Conference’s best teams met in quite possibly the most [...]

He arrived in a red checkered shirt and jeans, chomping on a toothpick, looking all too casual for such a regal courtship. Two-time reigning NBA MVP LeBron James wasted little time in announcing his decision to join the Miami Heat, putting an exclamation point on The Summer of 2010, the most ballyhooed offseason that professional [...]
ESPN has reported that the most exciting free agent class in the NBA’s history has now grown by one. According to the World Wide Leader, Paul Pierce has notified the Boston Celtics that he will opt out of the final year of his contract before Wednesday’s deadline, forgoing a guaranteed $21.5 million and becoming an [...]
On January 20, the Boston Celtics played one of the ugliest games of their season, letting Charlie Villanueva catch fire, and lost, with little more than a whimper, to the Detroit Pistons, 92-86. The team shot 5 for 19 from behind the arc, turned the ball over 19 times, and had a -10 rebound margin [...]
It became apparent to me that I needed to write this article after ESPN’s post-game show did not talk about the Celtics for the first 20 minutes because they were too busy analyzing LeBron James. So here it is: It’s a little earlier than expected, but the time has finally come. Teams outside of Cleveland [...]
The Boston Celtics made short work of the Miami Heat in their opening-round series, finishing off Dwayne Wade and Co. in just five games. Unfortunately, the road to the NBA Finals doesn’t get any easier for the C’s, as they prepare for a second-round series with LeBron James and the No. 1-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. The [...]
Paul Pierce scored 32 points, including a buzzer-beating 21-foot jumper, helping the Boston Celtics defeat the Miami Heat 100-98 at America Airlines Arena in Miami on Friday night. Through the first three quarters of the game, it was a familiar re-run episode of Celtics vs. Heat. Boston’s “Big Three” and Rajon Rondo, all in double-figures, [...]
No Kevin Garnett? No problem for the Boston Celtics, who made the Heat look like high school players trying to keep up with the big boys on the court. The Celtics blew by the Heat to take a two-game lead in the first round of the NBA playoffs on Tuesday night with a blowout win [...]
The Boston Celtics held the Miami Heat to just 32 points in the second half en route to an 85-76 Game 1 victory at the TD Garden on Saturday night. Unfortunately the victory may have been a costly one for the Celtics. Kevin Garnett was hit with two technical fouls after elbowing Quentin Richardson in [...]
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 [...]
The Eastern Conference All-Stars defeated the Western Conference All-Stars 141-139 in front of the largest crowd to ever watch a basketball game. A record 108,713 NBA fans descended upon Cowboys Stadium to watch the best athletes in the world (the U.S. Basketball team – plus Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, and Pau Gasol) put on a [...]
I’ve been slightly disappointed with my teams over the past two weeks because I am just barely squeaking out 5-4 wins. I’d like to be winning by 6-3 or more, but in the end, winning is winning. After all, when playoff time rolls around, a 5-4 win is just as good as a 9-0 win. [...]
