Celtics by the Numbers: Paul Pierce's legacy

Posted on June 30, 2013 at 5:10 AM Comments comments (1)




Paul Pierce will have his number retired, and who knows. Maybe he'll comeback for one season on a cheap deal to walk away from the team, and fans that loved him for over 15 years. Paul has made a mark all over the Celtics record book. Thankfully in 2008 he got the biggest monkey off of his back with a NBA Championship and Finals MVP. So where ...

Celtics by the Numbers: Green producing like he should

Posted on February 9, 2013 at 5:30 AM Comments comments (1)



Jeff Green has become the player that many of us had hoped for. It's just seven games, but he seems light years ahead right now. In the past seven  games he's averaging 14 points. His defense has been highly visible. He's averaging a shade over one block a game, and these are monster blocks that seem to lead to something big. One part of Green's game that I wish would show up i...

Rondo's assist streak ended when he was ejected against the Nets. During that process Rondo had two 20 assist games, and he had a few 15, and 16 assist games. In Rondo's last ten games he's averaged 8 helpers, but his scoring hasn't changed one bit. His minutes are down a bit, and he's been losing minutes since the bench has been performing out of this world...

Celtics by the Numbers: What's it take around here to box out?

Posted on November 23, 2012 at 3:10 AM Comments comments (3)



After watching last night's game against the Spurs. I think Gortat sounds pretty good right about now. I don't know what it will take for the Celtics to start rebounding. Is it simply just blocking your man out. Something even youngsters learn in youth hoops. The Celtics simply can't rebound worth a lick. I honestly believe that the Cel...

One of the hot topics so far this season has been the bench production. The expectations are extremely high for this years bench that's supposed to aid the Big Three in the quest for banner 18. Last years bench had a bunch of misfits that overachieved. We fell in love with guys like Dooling, and Pietrus. The Celtics lost two of their best be...

I watched the Celtics broadcast on the Yes network lSaturday night when the C's, and Knicks squared off. I didn't watch the Celtics by  choice on the Yes network, but during that broadcast I had to listen to Walt Frazier, and his partner speak about Rondo as if he was a second hand player.
