With the threat of injury a big concern for the Boston Celtics this season, seemingly every player on the current roster could find themselves in Doc Rivers’ rotation at some point. So far in this young season it’s been a struggle for the likes of Avery Bradley, E’Twaun Moore, and Sasha Pavlovic to prove they are [...]
With the loss of Jeff Green for the season, the Celtics’ already-weak bench took a big hit. The lack of any cap space whatsoever doesn’t help matters, either. As currently constructed, Boston simply does not have enough man power to compete with the likes of Miami, Chicago, and even New York. The thirty somethings – [...]
The Boston Celtics’ Game 5 loss to the Miami Heat was less than 24 hours ago. While the pain is still fresh, here are a few concluding thoughts on the playoffs and the Celtics’ future. 1) The Celtics Big Three just don’t have the athleticism anymore. Game 2: game tied 80-80 with 7:09 left in [...]
(And now, the exciting conclusion:) 6. What We Missed Out On “I couldn’t stop running it over and over and over in my mind: the vague and distant suspicion that we never understood what happened that night.” – Patrick Kenzie, “Gone Baby Gone” Here were the possible storylines coming out of free agency: LeBron goes [...]

The Celtics made a nice gesture Friday night in giving James Posey his own special championship ring ceremony for helping the Celtics win Banner No. 17. Instead of helping the C’s pursue their 18th World Championship, Posey bolted for more guaranteed years and more money to play for the New Orleans Hornets. Last year, the [...]
“Anything is Possible.” The three words uttered/screamed by Kevin Garnett as he stood at center court after the Celtics won their 17th NBA title. Boston Celtics fans had been waiting 22 years for another Larry O’Brien trophy to make it’s way to Causeway Street and finally the new “big 3″ made it happen. We all [...]
This edition of the Celtics Four-Point Play will be extended over a few days up to the C’s home opener against the Cavaliers next Tuesday. Overall, I’ll pose four questions the Celtics face as they head into the brand new 2008-09 season. As you all may know, James Posey was very good as the Celtics’ [...]
The Celtics took a big loss this summer when they were unable to re-sign forward James Posey for a new contract before he took off for the New Orleans Hornets. In his place, Danny Ainge signed and drafted a couple players that may help fill his void. They help make up the forwards that will [...]
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at the Celtics signing of Doc Rivers, the availability of tickets this year for the C’s, the new NBATV schedule, and a magazine naming the Hornets as the favorites to win it all. 1. Doc Rivers earned a new contract extension to coach the [...]
James Posey was the reliable sixth man the entire season for Boston. He has already come and gone, but did his job well in his one year in Beantown. Posey was usually the first one into the game from the bench (depending on who was coming out, of course). The defensives stops and three-point shooting [...]
It seems just yesterday that we were watching the Celtics overcome a 22-year drought from an NBA Championship by beating the Lakers in the Finals, but here we are today already looking at the schedule for next season’s reigning champs. The Celtics open up this season with a bang. They start out at home on [...]
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at James Posey being introduced in New Orleans, the Celtics Dancers’ final audition, the new Celtics license plate, and the impact of the Eddie House and Tony Allen signings. 1. James Posey met with the media Wednesday in his first official press conference as [...]
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at James Posey’s decision to sign with the Hornets, Eddie House’s eventual departure, the Celtics’ interest in Tyronn Lue, and the release of the Celtics Championship DVD. 1. James Posey has really stung the Celtics, signing with the New Orleans Hornets to a four-year, [...]
The Celtics somehow were not able to re-sign pivotal swingman James Posey Wednesday, as he was able to reach an agreement with the New Orleans Hornets on a four-year, $25-million deal. Danny Ainge apparently was reluctant to offer more than three years and $5.8 million, so he took an extra year and slightly more money [...]
