For those of you who missed Kendrick Perkins injuring his knee during the Game 6 loss to the Lakers, check out video of the injury below:
UPDATE (4:30 p.m.): Perk will miss Game 7 with a torn MCL and PCL in his right knee. Celtics center Kendrick Perkins was injured 5:30 remaining in the first quarter of the Celtics’ Game 6 loss to the Lakers, and did not return to action. He was going up for an offensive rebound when he [...]
Jeff Van Gundy noticed something early in the game. The Celtics were playing like a team that was comfortable with their one game lead in the series. Urgency must have been left behind as the Celtics fell to the Lakers 89-67, tying the series at 3 games a piece and forcing a Game 7 Thursday [...]
A week ago the Boston Celtics had a 3-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals to a team most probably thought they could not compete with. They had a 3-0 series lead with Game 4 on their own home turf. How could one not possibly expect the Celtics to be able to close the [...]
The Orlando Magic took another step toward making NBA history on Wednesday night by blowing away the Boston Celtics 113-92 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Magic are trying to become the first team to come back from a 3-0 series deficit, and with the Series now standing at 3-2, they may [...]
For the second time in three nights, the Boston Celtics won a hotly contested game over the Orlando Magic at Amway Arena. Strong games from Rajon Rondo, who scored 25 points, and Paul Pierce, who finished with 28, allowed the C’s to nip the Magic 95-92, and take a commanding 2-0 Eastern Conference Finals series [...]
This one was over before the chalk had settled from Lebron’s pre-game ritual. This one was a game where the Celtics were out-hustled, out-muscled, out-willed and out-classed on their home parquet that lead to the team’s worst home playoff loss in franchise history. This one was a result that will almost certainly lead to many [...]
It appears LeBron James isn’t the only player benefiting from the three day break between Games 2 and 3. Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers held an injured Kevin Garnett (right mid-foot strain), and Kendrick Perkins (hyper-extended right knee) out of practice on Wednesday. KG and Perkins sustained their injuries during Monday night’s Game 2 , [...]
Stealing a line from the great Charles Dickens, Saturday night’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers can only be described as a tale of two halfs. After building a seemingly stable eleven point lead at halftime, the Celtics were outscored 58-39 in the the final two quarters, [...]
It looked like it would be a happy ending after a horrendous start, but the sweep was not to be, as the Celtics finally fell to Miami, 101-92. It was not a good start, as Quentin Richardson hit two threes for Miami, Rondo traveled, Garnett goaltended, and Pierce threw it away. Just 3:56 in, the [...]
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 [...]
It wasn’t always pretty, but the Celtics hung on in Toronto to win 115-104. You could tell it wouldn’t always be a fun night when Rondo and Ray Allen committed bad pass turnovers within 31 seconds of each other shortly into the game, with Rondo adding another later on. This led to the Celtics being [...]
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 San Antonio Spurs (44-28) played like a team fighting for a playoff berth as they cruised past the Boston Celtics (47-26) 94-73 in front of a sellout crowd at the TD Garden on Sunday night. The Celtics, who have played well against Western Conference teams as of late, played a solid first quarter against [...]
With the Men’s NCAA Tournament capturing the nation’s attention this weekend, the Boston Celtics quietly continued their winning streak. The latest win came Saturday night in Dallas where the C’s took down the Mavericks 103-92. The Celtics (45-24) and Mavericks (46-23) met back on Jan. 18 in Boston where Dirk Nowitzki dropped 37 on a [...]
