It’s rare when I actually blame officials for totally screwing over the team I root for, but tonight I’m making an exception.  Paul Pierce played a whopping 19 minutes before having to sit with four fouls.  Before sitting, he was 3-4 with nine points, when he came back in the fourth quarter he was cold [...]

Tonight’s game was  never in doubt after the opening tip with Boston jumping out to an eleven point lead at 30-19 to end the first quarter.  Excellent shooting, fast hands and solid defense all around for the guys in green earned a nice victory to rest up for tomorrow night’s tilt in Washington. The Celtics [...]

Welp, get used to seeing this picture, if you haven’t already.  Injury plagued center Jermaine O’Neal will be shelved for the next four weeks (optimistically in my opinion) to avoid having surgery on his bum knee. Chris Forseberg reports on JO’s decision not to have his knee operated on (again) since he doesn’t want to do it [...]

You would think a game after shooting sixty percent from the floor against the Magic, Boston would have been able to handle the lowly Pistons without much problem.  Well, you would have thought wrong.  If not for the sudden resurgence of a big man, it could have been a disaster. In a game in which [...]

You could feel the tension in the air before the opening tip; these teams were going  to do battle.  Not just play a game, but continue a war that had been brewing for  three years.  They certainly delivered. I could make a case that the referees were inconsistent, because they were.  Ticky  fouls were assessed on the regular [...]

While listening to the Celtics Thursday edition of the Dale and Holley show on WEEI this morning I was anticipating the JO interview they had promised.  Would he shed some light on the ongoing injuries he has been struggling through?  Could he speak about the injury that is currently afflicting KG?  Give me something positive, please! Well, [...]

I don’t have enough fingers to point the blame in every direction it needs to go after the ugliness that I just sat through.  One thing is or sure, Tom Thibodeau wasn’t part of the problem with Boston’s rebounding woes in previous seasons, but he sure contributed to them in this game. The Celtics were dominated, out-hustled [...]

It’s going to take me a while to wind down after a thriller of a game that took place tonight in the Hub.  The stars were in Boston and they all came to play. Rajon Rondo was the story of the night with a monster triple double.  ’Jon was unstoppable all night, dishing, scoring, ripping [...]

After three excruciating quarters of play the Celtics apparently looked up at the scoreboard and didn’t like the fact that they were losing.  Boston was dominated in the first quarter, trailing 25-17 after the first break in the action.  It was another lackluster start to a game that shouldn’t really be as close as it was but [...]

In the closing moments of the Celtics 93-79 win over the Toronto Raptors, Paul Pierce tried to put an exclamation point on the game with an emphatic fast break dunk in which he came down awkwardly and rolled his right ankle. He had gingerly jogged back up court with a knowing smile like he shouldn’t [...]
