Celtics Report Card: Forgetting Football Ever Existed

By ⋅ February 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After going 4-0 last week, the Boston Celtics were already potentially poised to put up some straight A’s. They had their revenge (93-90 over the Cleveland Cavaliers), wiped out the dinosaurs (a 36-point drubbing of the Toronto Raptors), got gritty in MSG (beating the New York Knicks 91-89), and proved themselves against a younger, more [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 4

By ⋅ January 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

A month into the season, and things are still going roughly for playoff hopefuls such as Boston and Dallas. Teams like the Clippers and 76ers are taking advantage of that. But a lot of powerful teams are still holding sway at the top of the conferences, and they’re continuing to make things tough on everyone [...]

Tony Allen’s Grizzly New Haircut: A Brief Playoff ‘Hair Don’t’

By ⋅ April 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve heard of a playoff beard, but this is just ridiculous. Former Celtics guard Tony Allen, now a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, decided he’s show his allegiance to his team when he walked into the barbershop. Allen, clearly lacking good judgment, decided to get a haircut with his team logo trimmed into the back [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 23

By ⋅ April 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Just one more week left until the playoff situation is officially known, and once again, the Celtics find themselves just trying to get healthy. And the Spurs’ former stranglehold on the #1 seed is weakened, but it may be too little too late for anyone to catch them. Five of the six divisions are locked [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 22

By ⋅ March 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Just two more weeks to go and we’ll know who makes it into the playoffs. Nine of 16 spots are punched so far, including three of the six divisions. Some of the top teams are having pretty big struggles, and others are taking advantage. Memphis is building a little bit of space out west, while [...]

Powe, Tony Allen Return To Help Grizzlies Top Celtics

By ⋅ March 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Entering Wednesday night’s contest, the Bulls held a half game lead over the Celtics for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Celts, therefore, needed a win to tie things up, but either way, the last 12 games of the season should be really interesting. Paul Pierce did all he could for the good [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 21

By ⋅ March 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Just a few more weeks left. The Lakers, Celtics and Bulls have clinched their divisions, while the Heat, Magic, Spurs and Mavericks have all clinched playoff spots. There’s a good amount of room between all #8s and #9s, but nothing’s guaranteed there just yet. There are four teams in the West and five in the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 20

By ⋅ March 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

20 weeks are gone, and while the Spurs are riding high, the Celtics now have to resort to a tiebreaker against Chicago to hold the top spot in the East. And don’t listen to Chicago or Doc Rivers; getting the top seed means a lot. The bottom of the East also has a tie to [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 19

By ⋅ March 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Just over a month remains in the season, and the Miami Heat got the highest ever rating on SportsCenter’s panic meter (9.99). The Lakers are on a roll, and Chicago has quietly positioned themselves as a legitimate contender, just 2.5 games out of the East’s lead. Each half of the bracket is starting to pull [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 18

By ⋅ March 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It won’t be long now until the playoffs begin, and there’s still a lot to be decided. Except for the Spurs, every playoff team is at most 2.5 games away from their nearest competition. The trade deadline passed, with spectacular results. Now, cuts will be looking for a new team in time to be playoff [...]

Celtics Overcome Grizzlies in Overtime

By ⋅ November 13, 2010 ⋅ One comment

It took an extra five minutes to do it, but when it was all said and done, the Boston Celtics picked up another road win in Memphis, 116-110. Rudy Gay was honored for his U.S. gold medal win in the FIBA championships in Turkey, but Boston pulled through when it counted most. For much of [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 2

By ⋅ November 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After one more week, things are looking quite different. Two unbeatens remain, and the top of the East is starting to sort of look how some expected it to. The Hornets and Lakers are still dueling for top honors; they first meet in New Orleans on December 29, which would make for a huge game [...]

For Tony Allen Three is the Magic Number

By ⋅ July 12, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Tony Allen is taking his talents to southwestern Tennessee. There was no gaudy, made-for-TV special (probably would have been broadcast on ESPN 8: The Ocho live from his garage) but having agreed to a three-year deal with the Memphis Grizzlies worth just over $3 million per year, Allen is leaving the only NBA home he [...]

By ⋅ March 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Most NBA players and coaches agree that March is the most trying month of the season. With the playoffs still well over a month away, teams are simply looking for consistency in the wake of injuries and long road trips. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks, two teams who made their teams significantly better at [...]

Celtics Fall to Grizzlies in Boston for First Time Since ’06

By ⋅ March 11, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

OJ Mayo’s near perfect FG pct. was a microcosm of the near perfection the Memphis Grizzlies (34-31) achieved against the Boston Celtics (40-23) on Wednesday night at the TD Garden. The second year shooting guard out of USC made seven of eight shots for a total of 17 points, and went 2/3 from beyond the [...]
