Solutions to the Celtics’ Rebounding Woes

By ⋅ November 27, 2012 ⋅ One comment

14 games into the 2012-13 season, the Celtics are dead last in the NBA in rebounding, and it’s not even close. At 36.9 boards per game, Boston trails the next worst team, Portland, by nearly two full rebounds, and the first-place Pacers by an outrageous 11.5. It’s not just a case of the Celtics games [...]

SoB NBA Eastern Conference Power Rankings: Thanksgiving Edition

By ⋅ November 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After watching the Boston Celtics struggle through the initial part of the 2012-13 NBA season, I made the executive decision that doing a full NBA Power Rankings was too depressing. Why do I want to put myself in the position of constantly ranking the Celtics tenth or lower? Let’s just stick to the Eastern Conference, [...]

Revisiting the Jeff Green-Kendrick Perkins Trade

By ⋅ November 22, 2012 ⋅ One comment

Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge has been much maligned for the 2011 trade-deadline deal that sent center Kendrick Perkins to Oklahoma City, and not without reason. In a way, the trade signaled Boston’s fall from championship contention to the second tier in the Eastern Conference pecking order, behind Miami, and succeeded in upsetting [...]

By ⋅ November 18, 2012 ⋅ One comment

The Celtics forgot to show up at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit and got blown out by the previously 1-9 Pistons, 103-83, Sunday night.
