Celtics Surviving Rough Economy Just Fine
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll discuss how the rough U.S. economy is affecting the Celtics, Tony Allen’s offseason saga, Ray Allen’s renewed focus, and I’ll take a look at how the Celtics fared against the 76ers on Wednesday night.
1. The 76ers beat the Boston Celtics 98-92 in the opening game of the [...]
Celtics Player Previews: The Bench Guards
For the next few weeks as the Celtics’ training camp moves on, I’ll take a look at what to expect in each set of positions. I’ll start with the bench players and then look at the potential starting five for the upcoming 08-09 season. First I’ll take a look at the guards that will be [...]
Why Sam Cassell Can Be a Good Coach
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll give four reasons (four points) why Sam Cassell will be a good future coach in the NBA. I’ll also make reference to Josh Howard’s stupid remarks about the “Star Spangled Banner.”
Sam Cassell will be a good NBA coach.
Here’s four reasons why:
1. Sam Cassell was an NBA point [...]
Sam Cassell to Return to Celtics?
According to Sam Cassell, he’s rejoining the Celtics for the 2008-09 season as a backup point guard, and it will be his last season as a player in the NBA. He apparently will then become an assistant coach to Doc Rivers the following season.
Cassell told the Baltimore Sun on Wednesday that he plans to officially [...]
Doc Gets Ring, Then Gets Paid
Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the Celtics and head coach Doc Rivers have agreed on an extension that will keep the coach with the team through the 2010-2011 season. Rivers, who made $5 million during his championship season, is set to make $5.5 million per year with incentives totaling up to $7 million annually.
It wasn’t [...]
Celtics Finally Give Rivers More Green
In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at the Celtics signing of Doc Rivers, the availability of tickets this year for the C’s, the new NBATV schedule, and a magazine naming the Hornets as the favorites to win it all.
1. Doc Rivers earned a new contract extension to coach the Boston [...]
Celtics Player Review: Kendrick Perkins
Kendrick Perkins played his first full season as starting center in the 2006-07 season, starting 53 games of one of the worst seasons in Celtics history. In just one season, Perkins was apart of the NBA Champion 2007-08 Celtics after the team was revamped by the additions of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.
With the help [...]
Celtics Release 2008-09 Regular Season Schedule
It seems just yesterday that we were watching the Celtics overcome a 22-year drought from an NBA Championship by beating the Lakers in the Finals, but here we are today already looking at the schedule for next season’s reigning champs.
The Celtics open up this season with a bang. They start out at home on October [...]
Celtics Player Review: Brian Scalabrine
The token white guy riding the bench through most of the season, Brian Scalabrine will still remain a fan favorite in Boston despite the numbers that he puts up. Although he played a bit more than his white counterpart, Scot Pollard, Scal still did not deliver impressive numbers this season. I understand that if he [...]
So, Who is J.R. Giddens Anyway?
During the 2007 NBA Draft, Danny Ainge began his magical offseason and before the night was done, the Celtics had acquired Ray Allen and Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis for Jeff Green, Delonte West, and Wally Szczerbiak. That, as everyone now knows, led to the acquisition of Kevin Garnett and the eventual NBA Champion rolling rally [...]
Celtics Pass With Flying Colors in 2007-2008
KC did a piece earlier in the Celtics season in which he reviewed and issued grades for each individual player on the team. Now that the season is over I’ll take a look at all of the players on the team and give them a grade and a little bit of review on how I [...]
Celtics: Season in Review
It is really funny to look back at what I predicted way back on October 5, 2007 for the then-upcoming NBA season. To recap one of the greatest seasons in Celtics history, I find it necessary to turn back to that initial preview and find out how bad I was at my guesses. Don’t worry, [...]
Perk Out for Game 5
Celtics center Kendrick Perkins is out for Game 5 against the Lakers with shoulder and ankle injuries. Leon Powe will start in his place at center opposite Pau Gasol.
If the Celtics win Game 5 in Los Angeles, they will be crowned NBA Champions and will raise Banner #17, an NBA record.
BEAT LA!
KG, Celtics Continue to Dominate at Home
The NBA Eastern Conference Finals started tonight between the Celtics and Pistons in Boston. The Celtics took control of this game from the beginning. Despite a few lead changes, Boston held Detroit in check throughout most of the game. The Celtics played better defense and controlled the boards to hold onto their Game 1 win, [...]
Rondo, KG Lead the Way; Celtics Still Perfect at Home
It looked like it was going to be all Cleveland again shortly into the first half, but Boston exploded in a great fashion tonight and came back to beat the Cavs 96-89 in Game 5 in Boston. The Celtics started this game off poorly and seemed to play just like the way they had during [...]
