Celtics Revert to Regular Season Form in Game One Loss

Celtics Revert to Regular Season Form in Game One Loss
Just thirteen seconds into Game One of the NBA Finals, Rajon Rondo took a pass from Paul Pierce under the hoop for an easy layup.  The Celtics were off to a good start, and led 2-0. It went downhill from there.  And fast. Derek Fisher knocked down a jumper to tie the score and Boston would never regain the...

Step Aside LeBron, Time for Celtics-Lakers

Step Aside LeBron, Time for Celtics-Lakers
I find it to be a glaring contrast.  On one side, Kobe Bryant will be playing in his seventh Finals, going for his fifth ring. He will get started in his quest on Thursday night, against Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, and the rest of the Celtics team trying for its second title in three years. On the other side,...

Joey Crawford and Ed F. Rush Defeat Celtics in Game Five
Let’s talk hypothetically for a moment. If you were an NBA official and wanted to make sure the Orlando Magic won last night, what would be some things you might try to do? A few quickly come to mind: Get the Celtics into early foul trouble. In particular, get the Celtics big men into early foul...

Should the Celtics Panic?

Should the Celtics Panic?
Can I be the only Celtics fan who went to bed last night with visions of Bruins and Yankees stuck in my head? After a high point in Game Three, the Celtics came crashing down with a disappointing Game Four loss last night.  The Orlando Magic stayed alive, earning the 96-92 overtime win. Time for some...

It's a Rondolution!

It's a Rondolution!
It’s Sunday, we’re coming off of a HUGE Game Three win by the Celtics and they are looking at the possibility of a sweep tomorrow night, right here in the jungle. In the meantime, Rajon Rondo has created quite a bit of a name for himself on the national level finally. There have been an...

Why Game 3 is a Must Win for the Celtics

Why Game 3 is a Must Win for the Celtics
Some might say it is an overstatement to label a Game Three on the home court of a team that is leading in the series 2-0 as a “must win”. Most times, they would be right. But right now, in this series, in these playoffs, and for these Boston Celtics, Game Three is exactly that. A must win. Here...
