With the Celtics officially in a slump (for a team that went 27-2, losing 4 out of 6 is most definitely a slump, or worse), it may be time to evaluate the reasons why they are in a funk. Below are the 5 most glaring problems KG and the Celtics have moving forward. Now keep in mind when reading this list, that when you are 29-7, you are no longer viewed as just another team, you are elite, so when

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t follow the Celtics as closely as I do the Red Sox and Patriots. I enjoy watching segments of their games but I could never see the point in watching an entire game in which the score would begin 2-0 and often end up in triple digits. Once [...]

NBA players surely are a pampered breed. They get million-dollar contracts, are very popular and living the high life. And when they do bag the ultimate goal which is to win a championship, they are given a bling-bling which makes us drool. The Boston Celtics opened the 2008-09 NBA Season...

07-08 Recap: 66-16, 1st in East - Last year, the Celtics embodied the Bantu word of ubuntu , which means to promote the success of the group over individual accolades.

Funny story for you. When I was a kid, the Mavericks kinda sucked and the seats were usually pretty empty. Tickets were abundant and cheap.

There has been many questions about whether or not the Boston Celtics can repeat their incredible championship run next season and raise an 18th banner high above the parquet.

Nearly forty-eight hours later and I’m still not sure I can effectively put into words what Tuesday night meant to me. I keep thinking about the night Paul Pierce was drafted. I’d been a fan at that time for about ten years. I caught the tail end of the original Big Three, but missed all of their championships. I was a naïve Celtic fan. For the first six or seven years, I just assumed they

I’ve been saying it for years but no one believes me. This just continues to prove my point that Boston fans are the most uncivilized of all sports.

It was only a year ago that the Boston Celtics were the de facto punch line for "bad team." Going 24-58 will do that. But now they’re the definitive basketball champions of the continent. Paul Pierce should just retire now, because his basketball stock can’t possibly rise.

The Celtics ended the Lakers’ hope of a game seven. The Celtics were unstoppable. I really wanted the Lakers to win but I think they were destined to lose game six. Even the Celtics’ bench killed their offense and defense. Kobe and the Lakers cannot do anything to stop the Celtics’ Three-pointers. As i was [...]
The Leprechaun was back in Boston Tuesday night, his first visit to the “New Garden“. The magical sprite who used to put the ball in the basket for the Celtics teams from 1957-1986, and would bat the ball away when the opponent tried to score, was floating around with a huge grin on his face. [...]

In the end, the best player didn’t belong on the same floor as the best team. Paul Pierce spent ten long years in Boston—going through brief moments of greatness, long stretches of poor teams, a near death experience outside a Boston nightclub, Rick Pitino, Antoine Walker, and the first four years of the Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge era. Now Paul Pierce, the Celtics’ captain, is going through
In what can only be called a lopsided victory, the Boston Celtics finally received the much-coveted Larry O’Brien trophy, the 17th in franchise history. They dominated the Los Angeles Lakers in every facet of the game, and sent the latter packing unable to keep their chins up. And how could they? This is, as far as I can remember, the lousiest performance in an NBA Finals game ever. You can quot
A well deserved NBA Championship, #17 to be exact, in a domination over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics were victorious by 39 points, the largest margin in finals history. I regretfully wasn’t able to watch the game due to conflicts, but it was rightfully earned. 131-92 Victory.
Congratulations Boston!

If you read my post about the 2008 NBA finals series more than a week ago, you know that I'm a Lakers fan. In fact, I boldly predicted that my Los Angeles Lakers would win the series and take the coveted 2008 NBA championship home to LA to the delight of Jack Nicholson! Ha ha. However, my prediction was off, way off. The Lakers were soundly beaten in the series and writing a post about the Bost
