I just witnessed my team get dusted by about a quarter of a million points.  Ok, maybe that was some slight hyperbole on my part… but not by much.
This was one of the worst performances I have ever seen in the history of the world and I’m not limiting it to just sports.  I think [...]

I often refer to “basketball purgatory” in my description of the Celtics 22 season drought that spanned from 1986 to 2008. As a die hard Celtics fan, the post Bird-Era was very difficult to watch. It was hard to watch Rick Pitino dethrone Red Auerbach from his honorary role as team president. It’s still difficult [...]

Brian Scalabrine has been placed on inactive list!
Okay, that headline was a bit misleading. In a season littered with inconsistencies and disappointment, we need to celebrate the small things. After another loss to an inferior team, I am starting to wonder if these “subpar” squad’s are that inferior to the Celtics. Rather than thinking about [...]

When you only manage 16 points in the fourth quarter, you deserve to lose.  I understand that defenses usually turn it on late in the game but still, good teams score 20+ every quarter.  Even when they were down by 7 with just under three minutes to go and stopping Milwaukee on every offensive possession [...]

The C’s put their four game winning streak on the line in Milwaukee against a team that starts dudes from Cameroon, Australia and Argentina.  Not to mention they are the Bucks.  I’m not knocking foreign players but I am knocking fielding a front court dominated by them.  I’m actually going to go out on a [...]

As a long time fan of the Boston Celtics, I watched the prime of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson and Robert Parish. What a time that was for the NBA. The basketball world seemed to revolve around the Boston Celtics in the east and the Los Angeles Lakers in the west.
As the mid 80’s [...]

The Celtics started the season with a six game win streak and everyone was proclaiming 70 wins. They followed their outstanding start with an eleven game win streak (tied with Dallas for longest of season) that spanned nearly three weeks. That seems like ten years ago as the Celtics have mightily struggled ever since the [...]

First of all, let me ask this question.  Why did the NBA decide to put this game on opposite the Oscars?  They are the third most popular sports league and probably pulled in only the Boston and DC markets and probably half the market in the Hub tuned out at half time.  They missed a [...]

… or at least behind it.

Disclaimer: This is not a game recap. This is the experience of a fan, lucky enough to be allowed to absorb the excitement of being a part of “the team.”
It was an expensive experience but well worth every penny of it.

As we pulled into the Wachovia Center last night at [...]
