Backup Plan: Celtics Bench Must Be Better In the Playoffs

By ⋅ April 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics have a commanding 3-0 series lead and won last night’s game running away, but there is still a glaring issue that will have to be fixed if they expect to win in the later rounds. The Bench. The Knicks bench has outscored the Celtics bench so far this series 98-35. The Celtics bench [...]

Celtics Can’t Grab Any End of Year Hardware

By ⋅ April 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

A day after Celtics forward Kevin Garnett came in a distant second behind Dwight Howard in the running for defensive player of the year, another C’s forward came up short for another end of the year award. It was announced earlier this week that Lamar Odom would be named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the [...]

“The Big 4″ Sit as Celtics Close Out Season With Win Against Knicks

By ⋅ April 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was supposed to be a preview of arguably the most intriguing first round matchup of the playoffs, but with the “Big 4,” Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups all watching from the bench it was more of a glorified pickup game. The Celtics bench got to play as the starters for the second straight night. [...]

Delonte West Injured In Celtics’ Loss to Wizards in OT

By ⋅ April 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Wait, what? Yes that is correct, the Boston Celtics dropped yet another game to the Washington Wizards on Monday night. Of course it was the Celtics “B team” that handed the Wizards the 95-94 victory. With Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett out of action for Boston, the C’s bench just couldn’t [...]

Rose, Bulls Topple Celtics 97-81

By ⋅ April 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics struggled to find their offensive rhythm against the Chicago Bulls as they fell 97-81 Thursday night at the United Center. Derrick Rose stole the show once again for the Bulls, whose magic number is now one game to clinch the top spot in the East. Rose scored 30 points on 9-16 shooting and [...]

Hawks Top Aging, Tiring Celtics 88-83

By ⋅ April 2, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

In yet another second game of a back-to-back on the road, the Celtics and their aging bodies and tired legs took their talents to Atlanta to take on the younger Hawks (who had Thursday off, while the Celtics beat the Spurs in San Antonio). The C’s had recently welcomed back Jermaine O’Neal, but were still [...]

Hibbert Dominates Depleted Celtics Frontcourt, Pacers Win

By ⋅ March 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After Tuesday’s game, it’s safe to say if the Celtics’ big men aren’t fully healthy, the C’s will get absolutely eaten up inside during the playoffs. Why? The proof’s in the pudding. Tuesday night against the Pacers, the Celtics were down to three healthy bigs (and I use the term “bigs” loosely) in Kevin Garnett, [...]

Celtics Blow 25-Point Lead to Timberwolves, Hang on in Minnesota

By ⋅ March 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics are a cruel bunch of dudes. First, they quickly built a lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves so huge that it silenced the Target Center and sent fans scurrying to their phones for updates on the Twins. Then, they proceeded to blow that very lead, even giving the last-place Timberwolves the lead for [...]

Powe, Tony Allen Return To Help Grizzlies Top Celtics

By ⋅ March 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Entering Wednesday night’s contest, the Bulls held a half game lead over the Celtics for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Celts, therefore, needed a win to tie things up, but either way, the last 12 games of the season should be really interesting. Paul Pierce did all he could for the good [...]

Big Baby, Allen Help Celtics Sting Hornets

By ⋅ March 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

If I told you on the second night of a back-to-back on the road, after an embarrassing loss to the Rockets, that Paul Pierce would shoot 1-9 from the field and Nenad Krstic would score 0 points, you would probably assume that’s an automatic loss. For the first two and a half quarters, you would have been [...]

Houston, We Have a Problem; Celtics Fall Again

By ⋅ March 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Chicago lost in Indiana, so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, but the Celtics still lost to the Houston Rockets, 93-77. Within minutes, Houston vaulted themselves to an 8-1 lead. An 8-0 run put Boston up 9-8, their biggest lead of the game, which they equaled at 15-14, 17-16, 19-18 and 21-20 [...]

Celtics Right Ship in Possible First Round Preview

By ⋅ March 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston needed a win to keep pace with Chicago, and they got it Wednesday, beating the Indiana Pacers at the TD Garden 92-80. The first thing to note was that it was “Mike and Tommy” night at the Garden. CSN-NE broadcasters Mike Gorman and Tommy Heinsohn are in their 30th season calling Celtics games, making [...]

Eleven Nets Three-Pointers Snap Celtics 9-Game Win Streak at New Jersey

By ⋅ March 15, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

The only time the Boston Celtics don’t dominate is on the second night of back-to-back games. This has been the pattern throughout the season, and it continued Monday night in New Jersey, where the Nets beat the Celtics, 88-79. With the loss, the Celtics fell into a tie with the Chicago Bulls for first place [...]

By ⋅ March 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment
