Here is a team that won over 60 games playing a team that won only 41, but that 41 is deceptive, because they added Salmons and Miller to that roster and Derrick Rose just kept on improving.
This is not a blog about the Celtics being one and done, but it does play into my prediction from last year.
Funny thing about predictions, you can always bring up the ones that are correct and just forget the ones that are way off. Even timing just gets in the way of the truth. It is kind of like golf, fishing, or …read more

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Maybe Boston is just bored, but they just went through a period where losses came more often than wins and that has been rare the last two years.
Boston 115 Toronto 109 OT
Now they turn to Paul Pierce for 39 points to beat a Toronto team missing both Calderon and O’Neal. Sunday they needed 36 from Ray Allen to be Toronto. The big 3 has turned into the big one at a time. Now it is Garnett’s turn to beat Toronto one would assume.
“Ya’ll need to start playing some …read more

Kevin Garnett dreaming of a second NBA Championship
The Boston Celtics will come into the season as the odds on favorites and for a reason. They are loaded. Just having Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen gives you the early nod, but other players and a staunch defense were developed last year as well.
Before we go all gaga over the Celtics, keep in mind that LeBron James took them to 7 games, until his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers held him back. Also, don’t forget the …read more

It appears the diet drugs were working for Darius Miles

No, he did not get 10 days to use drugs. Darius Miles will have a 10 day suspension for violating the NBA anti-drug policy.
Miles, who signed a non-guaranteed contract with the C’s over the summer, was with the Portland Blazers last season and is attempting to come back from chronic knee trouble.

You know Kevin Garnett is happy to hear that Sports Illustrated ranks Boston 1st for next year in the East

Marty Burns of SI predicts the top 6 in the East.
He has Boston number 1.
1. Celtics: The loss of veteran forward James Posey (via free agency to the Hornets) could hurt, especially come playoff time, but for now Boston has to be considered the East favorite again. General manager Danny Ainge re-signed key reserves Eddie House and Tony Allen, and Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen should be …read more

Robert Parish joined Larry Bird and Kevin McHale in the Original Big 3

You knew this was coming. The comparisons of this great Celtic team with the Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish big 3 of 1986.
In my mind, feeble as it is, the 1986 team was awesome. They would kick the tail of this current team. Now that is just my opinion and literally means nothing really. The 1986 team ended up winning a lot of titles. …read more

Kevin Garnett – anything is possible

It seems like yesterday that my Piston won the world title, the Larry something trophy, in the NBA.
My friends were on a high that lasted a week.
Boston fans feel like that right now. You could sell little kid sippy cups with Boston Celtic logos on them and the fans would scoop them up by the hundreds.
They sound just like we did. Our team is great. …read more

Kevin Garnett was so emotional that he was crying one moment and shouting out the next moment. Boston absolutely dominated the last game of the series.

Paul Pierce cannot be stopped. Not by Kobe. Not by anyone.

Sam Posey or SAM missile. He just keeps burying 3’s.
Paul Pierce, not Kevin Garnett. It is the Paul Pierce series. Hey, Kevin is averaging a double double, but it does not matter. Paul Pierce is dominating.
Pierce had waited for his chance to be one of those generational Boston sports icons, and the Celtics had stopped surrounding him with …read more

The Lakers blew it in game 4. A 24 point lead and still they did not win. The Celtics stepped up the defense and Paul Pierce went crazy on offense and that was it.
The Lakers have to face game 5 as a game to get respect.
Let me lay it out for you.
First off your leader has to be cool. Kobe Bryant …read more
