Celtics Ship Marquis Daniels to Sacramento

By ⋅ February 24, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

In a busy day for the Celtics, which saw them send Semih Erden and Luke Harangody to Cleveland and Nate Robinson and Kendrick Perkins to the Thunder, they have also sent Marquis Daniels to Sacramento for a future 2nd round draft pick. All in all, three extra roster spots are available for cheaper and/or healthier [...]

Celtics Hold On To End West Coast Road Trip With A Win

By ⋅ February 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With 37.9 seconds remaining in the game against the Sacramento Kings, Paul Pierce put the nail in the coffin and the Celtics went on to get their 37th win of the season.   Pierce dribbled to his sweet spot at the elbow of the free throw line, took a step back and banged a fade [...]

Triple Play: Twelve Three Pointers Helps End Celtics’ Losing Streak

By ⋅ January 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

For the first half of the game, Paul Pierce was the Celtics’ primary offensive weapon, scoring 21 points to keep Boston ahead of the Sacramento Kings. Pierce didn’t play much in the second half (he finished with 25 points), but he didn’t have to. A 33-18 third quarter built an insurmountable Celtics lead, powering Boston [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 1

By ⋅ November 3, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The NBA season is underway, and the weekly installments of hypothetical playoff scenarios have returned for your viewing pleasure. As expected, the Lakers and Heat are doing quite well for themselves, and if it weren’t for that opening loss to the Celtics, Miami would be #1, even over the Lakers. Boston is still thriving with [...]

Rondo Steps Up to Rescue Celtics Against Kings

By ⋅ March 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics led by as much as 24 points on Friday night and were well on their way to an easy blowout win over the inferior Kings. At the half, the C’s led 57-37. As a result, they entered the third quarter on auto-pilot (it seems they’ve done that all year…), and by the midpoint [...]

Celtics De-throne Kings

By ⋅ February 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Celtics were looking to start the second half of the season the way they started the first, but found themselves in yet another barn burner on Tuesday night in Sacramento. A timely three-point basket by Paul Pierce and clutch free throw shooting allowed the C’s to edge the Kings 95-92. In a game [...]

Nocioni Could be Next Big Trade, Not

By ⋅ November 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two years, since the Celtics have won the Championship in 2007-08 the team has been looking for a reliable replacement for James Posey. Last year Tony Allen and Bill Walker didn’t work out as expected. This season we have Marquis Daniels who has been doing a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NBA Week 2

By ⋅ November 12, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

It’s been a fun week. The Bulls lost to the Nuggets when a basket, under review, was deemed fired off too late. The Celtics and Suns continue to impress. And Milwaukee leading the division? Pabst Blue Ribbon is a more popular Wisconsin product. And we’ve got the Mavs holding onto the division over the Spurs, [...]

Celtics Player Review: Mikki Moore

By ⋅ June 24, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I actually had never heard of Mikki Moore when the Celtics were interested in him midway through the season. He did not have much hype and it seemed like he was just going to add a little bit of height for the C’s bench. That was just about all Moore was for the Celtics, and he did not [...]

Rick Pitino in Running for Kings Job

By ⋅ May 7, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Ex-Celtics coach Rick Pitino could return to the NBA. The Louisville coach has shown interest in the Sacramento Kings’ coaching vacancy and has been identified as a candidate for the position. There are rumors flying that he could be ending his time in Louisville with an announcement coming soon (but that’s conjecture at this point). [...]

Celtics Trade Away O’Bryant in Three-Way Deal

By ⋅ February 19, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Celtics made a deal right at the NBA Trade Deadline, trading seldom-used center Patrick O’Bryant to the Raptors in a three-team deal. Raptors guard Will Solomon is headed to the Kings, and a heavily-protected second round pick is headed to the Celtics. The Celtics are definitely just clearing room to sign some veteran free [...]

Celtics Dominate Kings 108-63

By ⋅ December 29, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics got back on track Sunday night after dropping their last two games to L.A. and Golden State. The Celtics went into Sacramento to get back to their winning ways and they did just that by beating the Kings 108-63. Sacramento had no chance whatsoever as the Celtics just kept tacking on point after point [...]

C’s Dethrone Kings

By ⋅ December 27, 2007 ⋅ One comment

The Celtics easily handled the washed-up Kings, combining stifiling defense with uncanny 3-point accuracy in an 89-69 drubbing (NBA.com Box Score). Ray Allen led 5 Celtics in double figures with 17 points, while Kevin Garnett added 14 points and 10 rebounds. James Posey contributed 11 points off the bench in the win. The old Sacramento [...]

Big Baby is a Beast in Celtics Win

By ⋅ December 13, 2007 ⋅ One comment

Subbing in for injured center Kendrick Perkins, Glen “Big Baby” Davis made his first career NBA start. He shined in the role, scoring a career-high 16 points to go along with 9 rebounds as the Celtics beat the Kings, 90-78 (NBA.com Box Score), at the TD BankNorth Garden. Most important among Big Baby’s stats were [...]

Here’s the Celtics Four-Point Play to appear every Wednesday on Sports of Boston. This is where I will compile four (4) small and related Celtics facts and offer my own spin on a variety of Celtics news stories. The general format will be a short blurb about the story first, then my reaction tabbed underneath [...]
