The Ugly Celtics: Boooooo Boooooo Booooo!

The Ugly Celtics: Boooooo Boooooo Booooo!

The Boston Celtics have been squeaky clean. They have perfectly embodied the definition of Celtic-Pride. They played as a team, unified by one common goal. This line-up implanted the Ubuntu-Theory into the history book’s of the Celtics vaulted library of championships. They made us proud to be fans and highlights of their championship run sat [...]

The Character of the 2010 Boston Celtics– Truly A Season in Hell

The Character of the 2010 Boston Celtics– Truly A Season in Hell

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 [...]

Today’s NBA Can Take Some Lessons From Magic and Bird

North Station Sports has been reporting on the Larry Bird/Magic Johnson movie since October. Magic and Bird, A Courtship of Rivals was phenomenal. I watched it three times since it’s release on Sunday, March 7th. That’s three times in two days.

Was it that good or am I that obsessed?
I’d have to say, both. The documentary [...]

Boston Celtics: The Road to Regular Season Redemption Runs Through Cleveland

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 [...]

When Larry-Legend Talks, You Better Listen!

When Larry-Legend Talks, You Better Listen!

Larry Bird spoke with NBATV last night in a very rare interview. He speaks about the rivalry between the Celtics/Lakers and Magic Johnson. This documentary looks so amazing! I cannot wait to see it. I almost think it’s unfair that the current Celtics roster got to see this movie yesterday for “motivation” before I got [...]

The Boston Celtics are Not Elite, They Are Not Contenders

I have never been more humiliated or disgusted then I am at this very moment. I am more disgusted now then I was at any point during any of the “lean” years following the Bird Era– including the 2006-07 season.
When the Celtics jumped out to a 12-2 lead in the first quarter, I was not [...]

Doc Rivers Looking To History to Motivate His Listless Team

Doc Rivers Looking To History to Motivate His Listless Team

Interesting. Very interesting…
As you all know, I am a big NBA history buff and Larry Bird happens to be my all-time favorite athlete. With the Celtics lacking in the focus, intensity and (Celtic) PRIDE area’s, Doc River showed the Larry Bird/Magic Johnson movie yesterday during practice in lieu of the disastrous Cavs game footage.
It’s quite [...]

Celtics Making a Mockery of Quality NBA Commercials

Celtics Making a Mockery of Quality NBA Commercials

It seems as if every NBA commercial the last two season’s have had the Celtics in it. Up to this point, deserving so. Thursday night, as the Celtics squandered another second half lead in route to a 20 point loss to the Cavs, every TV time-out seemed to have this commercial in it:

Or this one:

“The [...]

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 [...]
