It became apparent to me that I needed to write this article after ESPN’s post-game show did not talk about the Celtics for the first 20 minutes because they were too busy analyzing LeBron James. So here it is: It’s a little earlier than expected, but the time has finally come. Teams outside of Cleveland [...]
The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers met up Monday night at the TD Garden. When last they met, Baron Davis stunned the Celtics by hitting a last-second shot to give the Clippers the victory.

Coming off a huge win on the road against the Orlando Magic, the Boston Celtics would have never had imagined that they would fall to the lack-luster Los Angeles Clippers just two nights later. The Celtics had the game in their possession with less than a minute left, but when the Clippers tied it and [...]

Brown and Sam Cassell all in [...]
The Celtics took care of business in the final game of what has been a difficult West Coast road trip, defeating the L.A. Clippers 104-76. With the victory, according to Celtics.com, the C’s swept the whole city of L.A. (2-0 vs. Clippers, 2-0 vs. Lakers) for the first time since 2001-02. That also was the [...]
