I’m not delusional.
At least that’s what I keep telling myself.  Despite the sudden surge in offense against a team they should have worked over anyway, the Celtics still scare me and that is a problem.  Not so much that they scare me, but moreover that they don’t really scare anyone else right now.

This is my first submission to NSS and I have to admit, following the blanket party stomping by the Griz the other night, I wasn’t sure I’d be right in the head to ever speak on the C’s again. But, I was talked down off the Tobin and I am back to insisting to myself [...]

How the Celtics come out to start this game will have no effect on the outcome, period.  Boston can come out gang busters cracking skulls and throwing it down with bad intentions but unless they can sustain that energy it won’t mean a damn thing.
Something needs to be done to shake things up and not [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

So Danny Boy has his eyes set on another aging former all star, eh?  Is he trying to qualify the C’s for AARP coverage?  I thought the whole point of getting Nathan Robinson was to get younger.  Never mind that two of the three players that were traded for him were younger, plus the second [...]

It’s about time.  After two months of losing big leads and letting crappy teams hang around, Boston finally showed some sort of killer instinct and put the Bobcats away and roll to a victory over the top ranked defense in the league.
Paul Pierce exploded for 27 PTS on 9-13 shooting and 4-6 from deep.  The [...]

I guess the best way not to blow a ten point lead is not to amass a ten point lead.  Luckily Boston never got ahead enough to the point where they started playing lackadaisical ball.  A win is a win no matter how ugly it is.  I am reminded of the saying “beauty is a [...]
