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. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I begrudgingly [...]

Delonte West Injured In Celtics’ Loss to Wizards in OT

By ⋅ April 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Wait, what? Yes that is correct, the Boston Celtics dropped yet another game to the Washington Wizards on Monday night. Of course it was the Celtics “B team” that handed the Wizards the 95-94 victory. With Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett out of action for Boston, the C’s bench just couldn’t [...]

Wizards Defeat Celtics in Washington

By ⋅ January 22, 2011 ⋅ One comment

I don’t like it any more than you do. With both O’Neals, Shaq and Jermaine, out with knee troubles, the Celtics needed to come out strong. They did the opposite, and due to a hungry John Wall and Co, their own complacency and a few bad calls here and there, the Celtics lost to the [...]

Celtics Blow Out Wizards 114-83

By ⋅ November 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

They were without rookie John Wall Wednesday, but it probably would not have mattered too much with the stomping the Celtics put on the Wizards Wednesday. Boston took over after being down by just three points early in the first quarter and never looked back in their 114-83 trouncing of the Washington Wizards. It resulted [...]

On Auto-Pilot, Celtics Fall to Wizards

By ⋅ April 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

No, Doc Rivers was not on auto-pilot. He tried steering the Celtics to victory (I think), and played all his starters for a good amount of minutes. In fact, three of them (Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce) played over 30 minutes…so how does that explain the 10-point loss to the Wizards (and 21-point halftime [...]

Celtics Remaining Schedule: Scuffling for Seeds to End the NBA Season

By ⋅ March 30, 2010 ⋅ One comment

With just over two weeks left in the season, teams are engaging in their last minute pushes to improve their position. Except for the Celtics, that is, who were embarrassingly slaughtered from start to finish by the Spurs on Sunday. When an opponent can look like the UConn women against you, that’s never a good [...]

Allen’s Game-Winning Three Helps C’s Edge Wizards

By ⋅ March 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Right before the trade deadline I wrote an article suggesting the Celtics should trade Ray Allen to the Warriors for Monta Ellis. Well Ray, I apologize. Mr. Allen made me and all of the other doubters out there look pretty silly as he nailed a game-winning three-pointer with 17 seconds remaining in Sunday night’s 86-83 victory [...]

Antawn Jamison Traded to Cavaliers

By ⋅ February 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Cavaliers strengthened their chances of winning an NBA Title by acquiring Wizards power forward Antawn Jamison in a three-team deal. Oh, and Cleveland somehow is still in the Amare Stoudemire sweepstakes. Let’s cut to the chase: Cavs Get: Antawn Jamison (from WAS) Sebastian Telfair (from LAC) Wizards Get: Zydrunas Ilgauskas (from CLE) First-round pick [...]
