Hawks Clinch Regular-Season Sweep over Struggling Celtics

By ⋅ January 30, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

It was an awfully tall task for the Boston Celtics — three games in four nights, and the second two coming on the road against the Magic and Hawks. To make matters worse, the C’s suffered a heartbreaking last-second loss to the Magic before coming into Friday night’s showdown with Hawks (a tough 100-91 loss). [...]

Celtics Turn Game Over to Hawks…Again

By ⋅ January 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Why can’t the Celtics just beat the Hawks??? The Boston Celtics (26-10) have 10 losses on the entire season and three of them are to the Hawks (24-13). Boston lost again to Atlanta 102-96 Monday night, just three nights after losing to the same team on the road 83-95.   In a game that was in Boston’s hands throughout much [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 11

By ⋅ January 11, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Every Monday, I will report on the events of the past week of fantasy basketball. I will go over each position and what particular player that week stood out from all the rest. As always, I will start off with this week’s notable injuries to report on. Injuries Al Harrington (PF, C), New York Knicks [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 8

By ⋅ December 21, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

In the past week, nobody has picked up a player in the Sports of Boston Fantasy Basketball League. Either everyone is very satisfied with their team or nobody is paying attention. That kind of crime would be worse than Lamar Odom’s fantasy value (oh, petty cheap shot by me). Injuries Chauncey Billups (PG), Denver Nuggets [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundup: Week 5

By ⋅ November 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Man, I had some bad matchups in some of my leagues last week. They were almost as bad as Tiger Woods’ driving…BA-ZING!!!! No, seriously though, they weren’t too bad, I just needed an excuse to make a Tiger woods joke. I hope you enjoyed it. Hey, he wasn’t injured, therefore it is OK to make [...]

Hawks Finally Get Revenge on Celtics

By ⋅ November 14, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Before Friday night, the Boston Celtics defeated the Atlanta Hawks in the team’s past seven meetings in the regular season. This time the Hawks prevailed and gave the Celtics their second loss of the season in a 97-86 victory. This Hawks team keeps getting better each and every year as they brought their record to 7-2 [...]

A Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of you out there! Entering the final week of the fantasy regular season, I hope you were bitten by the luck of the Irish and are in position for the playoffs. To those who have already locked up a playoff spot, I hope you see the pot of [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 13 (1-19 – 1-25)

By ⋅ January 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

In my other league, I have been free-falling in a very fast way. Just over a month ago, I was sitting in first place without a care in the world. Now I sit in 11th place and at this point I think I may just have to give up hope of making the playoffs. I [...]

Celtics Win 16th Game in a Row

By ⋅ December 17, 2008 ⋅ One comment

In a game reminiscent of last year’s playoff series with the Atlanta Hawks, it went down to the final seconds for the winner to be decided. The Celtics pulled it out with a clutch turn-in hook-shot from Kevin Garnett and two free throws from Ray Allen to seal the 88-85 win.

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 3 (11-10 – 11-16)

By ⋅ November 18, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Just a quick blurb on my boy Dwight Howard. He only scored 4 points on Sunday. The ironic thing is that all of his points came off of free throws. He is averaging 21.3 points per game this season and missed all of his field goal attempts against the Bobcats. I just hope this isn’t [...]

Pierce Hits Clutch Shot to Beat Hawks

By ⋅ November 13, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

The Atlanta Hawks rolled into Boston with a 6-0 record, and appeared well on their way to 7-0 after Marvin Williams hit a go-ahead three-pointer with less than 10 seconds remaining. Stacked with three stars capable of going for a game-winner, the Celtics chose Paul Pierce, who has been on fire of late. Pierce proceded [...]

Celtics Finish off Hawks, Set for Round 2

By ⋅ May 4, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

The Hawks scored the first basket of the game, but it seemed like that would just about be the only time they lead the entire way. The Celtics dominated the Hawks today by winning 99-65, giving them the series win and the chance to play Lebron James and the Cavs in round two. The Hawks [...]

Celtics Embarrass Themselves in Atlanta

By ⋅ May 2, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

Joe Johnson….for three!…..and for Game 7. Yep, unbelievable. The Hawks hung in with the Celtics all game long. They were down by double digits, then battled back to four or five point deficits. The Celts entered the fourth quarter with a three-point lead, but the Hawks chipped away until they took the lead and held [...]

Celtics Get Back on Track, Lead Series 3-2

By ⋅ May 1, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

The Celtics came back to Boston and did exactly what they needed to do while they were at home: get a win. After the two losses in Atlanta, the Celtics desperately needed to come back home and get back on track. They did just that by controlling the Hawks and beating them 110-85. Game 6 [...]

Hawks Continue to Surprise, Upset Celtics in Game 4

By ⋅ April 28, 2008 ⋅ 7 comments

No one expected this series to go to a fifth game, and certainly no one expected it to go a sixth game. But after tonight’s loss, the series is going to return to Boston on Wednesday night for game five and then back to Atlanta for game six on Friday. The heat was on early [...]
