Celtics Report Card: Even a Raptors Loss Can’t Faze Me

By ⋅ April 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Normally a loss to the lowly Toronto Raptors (missing Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani, no less) would have me in fits. But this is no normal season, and this wasn’t a normal week.

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 [...]

Celtics Report Card: 76 Reasons to be Dissatisfied with 3-1

By ⋅ March 26, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

When I tuned in at the end of the first quarter in Atlanta to find the Boston Celtics down 15-12, I thought for a second I was having flashbacks to the week before, when I went to see my alma mater’s girls’ basketball team in the state championship.

Despite the Attention, Rondo Not the Centerpiece of a Champion

By ⋅ March 9, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

On Wednesday, SoB’s very own Bobby Doherty made the case that the Boston Celtics could rebuild around Rajon Rondo, referencing the 2007-2008 championship team as a model for Rondo as the team’s centerpiece.
