NSS Flix: The Celtics Lack of Answers is as Discouraging as Their Lack of Effort

The body language, the rhetoric, you name it.. anyway you look at it last night was the worst loss of the Big Three Era. This team resembles a YMCA over 30 rec-league. They have played like losers recently but now they even look (and sound) like losers trying to search for anything to excuse their [...]

Celtics, Big Three Return to the Garden Intact Tonight

Celtics, Big Three Return to the Garden Intact Tonight

After two week’s, All-Star Weekend, the trade deadline passing and five games out west, The Boston Celtics return to the Garden tonight. The C’s last game on the parquet stage was February 7th. An uninspired loss on national television to the Orlando Magic left Stan Van Gundy with the confidence to compare Dwight Howard with [...]

Ray Allen Takes Celebatory Bath in Blood and Afterbirth as Heinous Celtics Slip Past Lakers, 87-86
February 19, 2010 by Calvin Chamberlain

Not that I’m judging him.  Frankly, the way he played tonight, he deserves it.
Seriously.  I’m not even really as upset about this loss as I should be because the circumstances of the game were so mind blowingly ridiculous.
Rarely can I think of a game in which a specific player had a greater negative impact than [...]

Boston Celtics West Coast Preview– I’m Still a Believer!

Boston Celtics West Coast Preview– I’m Still a Believer!

After yesterday’s meeting of the minds with Red’s Army, I found myself re-reading everyone’s thoughts on why the Celtics are struggling in 2010. I re-enforced my belief to the guys that the root of the team’s struggles are chemistry issues. I was encouraged that the rest of the “round table” found the issues to be [...]

The Big Ticket Is About To Leap The Worm
February 6, 2010 by Lee Herman

The Big Ticket Is About To Leap The Worm

Kevin Garnett is about to break the top 20 for all time rebounds grabbed without much fanfare.  He has snuck up on Denis Rodman’s 11,954 mark which denotes his ascent into top 20 territory.  KG only needs three to tie Rodman and four to bump him out of that elite group.  Kage should grab those [...]

Kevin Garnett: What Happens Behind Closed Doors Needs to Stay There

Kevin Garnett: What Happens Behind Closed Doors Needs to Stay There

I was happy to see Kevin Garnett speak to the media about Rondo’s comments. KG responded to Rondo’s remarks in a very “PC” way but certainly got his point across saying, “…it’s said in the closed confinements of the locker room and to each other as men, and I want everybody here to respect that.’’
It’s [...]

Lakers/Celtics: The Only Regular Season Game That Matters

Lakers/Celtics: The Only Regular Season Game That Matters

I’m going to make a prediction for tomorrow’s Lakers/Celtics game.  My prediction? Pain.  Specifically the hernia I experience after a crushing 96-90 loss.

Normally, I wouldn’t care.  I mean, why should I?  I’m a Laker fan living in Los Angeles. My existence largely consists of double-fisting supermodels and championships while searching for acting roles that do [...]

Don’t Expect Miracles Because Kevin Garnett’s Back
January 21, 2010 by Nick Gelso

Don’t Expect Miracles Because Kevin Garnett’s Back

1 – 2 – 3– BREATH!
We can all exhale after holding our breath for eleven games. Without question, I did not expect to go 5-6 in Kevin Garnett’s absence. I did feel the Celtics would inevitably struggle without the Big Ticket but I never expected the team to fall below .500 while the Ticket recovered. [...]

NSS Flix: Kevin Garnett Practices and Jokes with the Media!

Kevin Garnett is back, to practice at least. Here’s an interview courtesy of Chris Forsberg/ESPN where KG discusses his injury, his intensity, the Celtics defense and, most importantly, is loose and joking around– a good sign!

Ray Allen is Full of Opinions
January 17, 2010 by Calvin Chamberlain

For many years, the NBA has had a policy of allowing fans to vote for all-star starters, while allowing coaches to select the reserves.  One player who has a problem with this is Celtics guard Ray Allen.
 
“I like the fact that the fans get the opportunity to vote and pick who they’d like to see in [...]
