Celtics Title Town

Another Gino time, and another KG smile. The Celtics defense has risen to great heights. If 2008's defense had a baby. I think the Celtics would name  it 2012. We are seeing a new defensive team, and Bradley has sparked the Celtics, and if you asked me before the season if that would have happened, I would have said your crazy. T...

It's been old for a long time. The Celtics have lost leads of all shapes, and sizes. It goes all the way back to game six of the 2009 2nd round. The Celtics could have easily put away Orlando, in Orlando, but they cracked in the final minutes. I think we let it go then because the Celtics were without KG. In the past three seasons the Celtics hav...

Before Rondo's departure because of his wrist. Paul Pierce, and Garnett looked out of shape, and out of control. The team as a whole had issues keeping up with Rondo, and the pace of the game. A lot was made  of Rondo not being aggressive, but I felt like the biggest problem was the out of shape stars, besides Allen. With the entire Celt...

A veteran team like the Celtics would tell you, in the big picture last nights loss means nothing. I agree, and disagree with that. In a earlier post I pointed out Doc's poor choice in not putting Pierce in, and he also waited on KG in the final 4:25 in the game. I had  a flashback from last seasons demise against Miami. It was often sim...

"Pierce is like a hardware store"

I loved this quote from last nights game. Gorman said that about Pierce, because he has a little bit of everything. He can get you what you need. The Celtics gave the fans what they needed this week. A 4-0 re...

Out of shape, and old, a little cranky as well. The Celtics are turning the season around. Pierce. and KG have found their legs, and the Celtics are playing like the best defense in the NBA right now. The gang of green are getting production from everyone, and the young point guards are providing much needed scoring, and defense in Rondo's departure. In ...

Over at ESPN Boston yesterday they put together a roundtable. The question, Fact or Fiction: The Celtics will make the playoffs?

When Rondo returns what happens to Bradley? Does he just back-up Rondo? Bradley has been able to play shooting guards in the past. Even though Sasha, and Daniels played great Monday night. Bradley played that much better. Pietrus will be the first wing off the bench, but if he backs  Pierce. Does that mean Bradley ...

Going into last nights game against Dwight Howard, and the Magic. I think everyone had the concern who will stop Howard? The word tough has been lost with this group of Celtics. The word soft has creeped into the fold. When I think of the word soft in terms of basketball. I think of Gasol from LA. If the Celtics have been looking for tougness on their roster...

Players seem to take trade talk in different ways. When Ray was on the trading block during the 09-10 season he was slumping, and he was timid. After the trade deadline he came to life, and he went on a roll through the rest of the season, and all the way to the NBA finals. This season the first Celtics player in the rumor mill was Rondo. Ron...

We seem to be stuck in a generation time warp. I understand the trade rumors, and all the noise from the media picking apart the Celtics roster, and seeing where they would fit. I get it because Danny hasn't said no about trading anyone on the Celtics. He has a history of making unwelcome deals. Danny has been on the record a lot saying he would do any deal if he though...

How would you feel about the Celtics if they actaully traded Pierce? How much do you value loyality as a fan? Would you walk away as fans if the Celtics moved Pierce? Pierce is an icon for the Celtics. In this era of sports it's not eveyday when a player stays on the same team for his entire career . I really believe if the Celtics trade Pie...
