If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 1

By John ⋅ November 3, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The NBA season is underway, and the weekly installments of hypothetical playoff scenarios have returned for your viewing pleasure. As expected, the Lakers and Heat are doing quite well for themselves, and if it weren’t for that opening loss to the Celtics, Miami would be #1, even over the Lakers. Boston is still thriving with [...]

Celtics Should Trade Allen for Warriors’ Ellis

By Andrew Kipp ⋅ February 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Let me begin by stating that the possibility of the Celtics trading Ray Allen to the Warriors is remote as it is a rumor, and 99% of the time, rumors are either not true or never amount to anything. With that said, there have been rumors circulating over the past week that the Boston Celtics [...]

Ray Allen Trade Rumors: to the Warriors for Monta Ellis?

By KC Downey ⋅ January 28, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

In what will become a common headline as we move toward the Feb. 13 NBA Trade Deadline, Celtics guard Ray Allen is rumored to be moving to the Golden State Warriors for Monta Ellis and Vladimir Radmanovic. While the deal isn’t expected, it’s still pretty interesting to analyze. Why would teams be interested in the [...]

Celtics Fall in Back-to-Back Games

By Greg ⋅ December 29, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Will the real Celtics please stand up? Seriously, who are these guys and what have they done with the best team in the Eastern Conference? After having an 18-point lead in the first half, the Boston Celtics fell to the Golden State Warriors Monday night 103-99. The up-tempo Warriors were just too much to handled for [...]

Celtics Disarm Warriors

By Sharkey ⋅ November 19, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Glance at the final score of Wednesday night’s 109-95 victory over the Golden State Warriors, and you might think the Boston Celtics coasted to an easy win at home at the TD Garden. Coming off two consecutive, stunning losses, the Warriors (3-7) matchup was just what the doctor (or Doc) ordered. But until there were [...]

Video: Kevin Garnett Half-Court Shot vs. Warriors

By KC Downey ⋅ November 19, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The title says it all. Kevin Garnett launched a 70-foot hook shot in attempt to beat the buzzer against the Warriors Wednesday night. Unfortunately, he released the ball a fraction of a second too late. Here’s the video:

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 0

By John ⋅ 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 [...]

Mikki Moore Signs with Warriors

By KC Downey ⋅ September 1, 2009 ⋅ One comment

After signing with the Celtics halfway through last season, Mikki Moore has found a new home: sunny Oakland, California. The Golden State Warriors signed Moore for the veteran minimum at $1.3 million. With the Celtics, Moore was extremely underwhelming. He averaged just 1.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 6.6 minutes in the playoffs. As soon [...]

Celtics Drop Two Straight After Long Win Streak

By KC Downey ⋅ December 27, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The defending champions were drained. After winning 19 games in a row, things have changed fast for the Celtics. Stephen Jackson scored eight straight points during the decisive fourth-quarter stretch to finish with 28, and the Golden State Warriors sent the Celtics to back-to-back losses for the first time this season in a 99-89.

Merry Christmas L.A.; Lakers Snap Celtics Win Streak

By Geoff ⋅ December 25, 2008 ⋅ One comment

A Christmas showdown for the ages that one may not realize at first glance, was just a regular season game. The Celtics and the Lakers had a rematch of their NBA Finals meeting this past June where the Celtics dominated L.A. to win their 17th NBA title. The Lakers were looking for a bit of [...]

Rondo, Celtics Come Back Against Warriors

By Geoff ⋅ November 27, 2008 ⋅ One comment

If Rajon Rondo is putting up over 20 points in a game, it’s going to be a good night in Boston. Rondo did just that and was the key player in the Celtics’ come-from-behind victory Wednesday night against Golden State as they won 116-111. The Celtics led this one early on, but the Warriors took charge [...]

Green Losing Their Luck Out West

By KC Downey ⋅ February 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It just hurts more when it’s such a close game, but a loss is a loss in a 119-117 heartbreaker against the Warriors. Baron Davis scored 29 points but none bigger than when he hit a fade-away shot over Tony Allen as time expired to hold off a late Celtics rally. The Celtics led by [...]

Here’s the Celtics Four-Point Play to appear every Wednesday on Sports of Boston. This is where I will compile four (4) small and related Celtics facts and offer my own spin on a variety of Celtics news stories. The general format will be a short blurb about the story first, then my reaction tabbed underneath [...]

The Celtics avenged a 104-102 loss Sunday in Orlando by beating the Warriors at home 105-82 (NBA.com Box Score) for their 9th win in 10 games to start the season. The C’s had 6 players in double figures, including 15 points from sixth man Eddie House. The Celts played the Warriors as if they hadn’t lost yet this [...]
