Avery Bradley Injury Status: Out for Rest of Postseason

By ⋅ May 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

When the Boston Celtics embarked on the 2011-2012 season — heck, two months ago — would anyone have imagined that Avery Bradley missing the rest of the postseason would be devastating news? After suffering innumerable shoulder separations all season, including three during the playoffs, Bradley underwent season-ending surgery on his left shoulder on Friday. According to this [...]

Celtics Loss Lowers Expectations

By ⋅ May 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Philadelphia 76ers didn’t show us how tough they are last night, nor how strong their will is, nor how much fortitude they have. Instead, last night, the Boston Celtics showed us how complacent they are, how uninterested they can be, and how little they want to fight. After scoring 36 points in the first [...]

Philly Writer Calls Boston Sports Fans “Bigoted” and “Racist”

By ⋅ May 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Are Boston sports fans racist? Bigoted? Why are we asking this question again? Well, take a moment (that’s all it will take) to read Philly.com sportswriter John Mitchell’s 243-word (wow!) masterpiece of a “column” titled “KG: ‘fair-weathered’ beats bigoted any day.” West Philadelphia born and raised, as the writer so eloquently describes in his biography, Mitchell [...]

Celtics Implode in Second Half of Game 4; Series Tied 2-2

By ⋅ May 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics built a big lead Friday night in Philadelphia, then quit. The Philadelphia 76ers, on the other hand, never quit. And once they pulled back into the game, that sustained effort translated into unstoppable momentum, a 92-83 victory over the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and a 2-2 series [...]

Can the Celtics Carry Momentum Into Game 4?

By ⋅ May 18, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

With a stunning 82-81 loss Monday night to the upstart eight-seed, the Boston Celtics found themselves knee-deep in questions. What happened to the Celtics’ advantage in big-game experience and late-game execution? Would Paul Pierce‘s knee injury kill the Celtics’ enough offense? And why was Brandon Bass shooting more than anyone on Boston’s roster, considering Kevin [...]

Celtics Playoff Report Card: A Moment of Appreciation

By ⋅ May 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

If you had told me two months ago that the Boston Celtics would host the first two games of a second-round playoff series, I would have laughed. Or maybe I would have scoffed and said I’m just looking forward to Red Sox season. Either way, I would have been very, very wrong. Before the Celtics [...]

Celtics-76ers Round 2 Preview: Can Ray Allen Contribute?

By ⋅ May 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers are no strangers to each other. Along with sharing the same division and the rivalry that goes along with it, the Celtics and Sixers have had stretches in history where the two have had to battle each other in the playoffs for Eastern Conference supremacy year after year. Historical [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 17

By ⋅ April 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Finally, the playoff schedule is starting to take shape. All but two spots have been clinched, but it’s really just one that’s up for grabs. It’s still a battle for the West title, too, so expect that to get pretty heated. So far, only the Celtics and Pacers have locked themselves into a particular seed, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 16

By ⋅ April 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re now less than two weeks from the conclusion of the regular season, and only seven spots (three divisions) have been locked up so far. Few teams are very secure in a seed, which means there’s still plenty to play for. So where does that leave everyone? Let’s look at what would happen if the [...]

Celtics Report Card: Better than the Red Sox

By ⋅ April 10, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m just going to go ahead and say it: 2-2 looks a whole lot better than 0-3. Maybe it isn’t fair to compare the Boston Celtics’ week, as they round into end-of-season form, to that of the Boston Red Sox, but after witnessing the debacle in Detroit, somehow I find myself forgiving Boston’s basketball darlings [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 15

By ⋅ April 9, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, we’re starting to see some teams punch their postseason tickets, and some teams bow out. The Thunder have weakened themselves out of the #1 spot out West. The Wildcard races are also pretty close as well, which should make the last 10 games or so that much more entertaining. So with the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 14

By ⋅ April 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, the drama is picking up in some areas. The 76ers have slid clear out of the division lead. The Knicks are out Amar’e Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin, but have a decent lead on the last spot, for now. The Lakers are running into a mini tough patch, and the Clippers are making [...]
