Allen’s 22 Helps Celtics Overcome Foul Disparity and Push Streak to 14

By ⋅ December 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

For almost three quarters, nothing was going the Boston Celtics’ way.

Even when the Celtics got good looks at the basket, the ball always seemed to rim out at the last second, leading to under [...]

By ⋅ December 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Nate Robinson made his presence known from the very first shot of the game, a three-pointer from the top of the arch, which he drained. The message to the New Jersey Nets: don’t think this will be easy just because Rajon Rondo isn’t playing (sore hamstring). Given the starting opportunity, plus extended minutes due to [...]

Celtics Cruise Past Cavs 106-87

By ⋅ December 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

You can’t blame the Cleveland Cavaliers if their minds were elsewhere during Tuesday night’s 106-87 drubbing at the hands of an inspired Celtics team.
