Celtics Hold Practice, Focus Set to 2008-09

In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at the progress of Darius Miles, the Tim Donaghy referee scandal supposedly coming to a close, what the Celtics will do if Kendrick Perkins has to sit down with an injury, and Ray Allen’s battle against his son’s rare illness.
1. The Celtics officially have [...]

The NBA 2K9 Blessing

In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at whether being on the cover of NBA 2K9 (like Kevin Garnett is this year) is a blessing or a curse. I’ll run down four players who have appeared on the cover in the past.
Not the Madden Curse, But the NBA 2K9 Blessing

Celtics GM Review: Danny Ainge

There was a lot of speculation as to whether Danny Ainge would have his job much longer as the general manager of the Celtics after the terrible results of the 06-07 season. Nothing had seemed to be going right at all in Ainge’s career as GM. None of the draft picks or players acquired in [...]

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 Player Review: Kevin Garnett

Kevin Garnett is the most intense player I have seen on the Celtics in my lifetime.
KG (or the “The Big Ticket”) was one of the major pieces to this Championship winning team. Garnett was a powerhouse the whole season. From the moment the Celtics finalized the deal to bring him to Boston to the last [...]

Celtics Player Review: Paul Pierce

The Captain. The Man. The Truth.
Paul Pierce has embodied everything Celtics since his arrival as the No. 10 pick back in 1998. First, he paired with Antoine Walker to form the Dynamic Duo that actually made some noise in the playoffs. Then, he led a Celtics team as it’s only star and only capable scoring [...]

Celtics Player Review: Ray Allen

One of Boston’s heralded “Big 3,” Ray Allen was a key acquisition for the Celtics and a huge factor in the Celtics’ 17th NBA Championship. Allen was brought to the Celtics from the Sonics (with Glen Davis) in exchange for Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West, and No. 5 pick Jeff Green.
When the trade was announced, I remember [...]

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 Player Review: Leon Powe

For all of the 2006-07 season and for the beginning of this past season as well, Leon Powe seemed nothing more than a guy riding the bench that might come in when the game is well out of reach or someone was in foul trouble.
Powe proved that he was capable of playing significant minutes in [...]

Celtics Player Review: Glen “Big Baby” Davis

One of the most lovable players on the Celtics, Glen “Big Baby” Davis has started his career off with a bang. No, he did not have outstanding numbers or Rookie of the Year recognition, but Glen Davis did make a “bang” everytime he fell into the crowd or onto photographers somewhere during a game.
The 6′9″, [...]

TGIF: Is Adrian Peterson Overrated?

Adrian Peterson is not worthy of a first round pick. First of all, he plays for the Chicago Bears and they have not had an established running game in years…kidding. Yeah, I was going to waste space on THAT Adrian Peterson. Oh, its fun to laugh.
Don’t confuse this piece with my man KC’s literary work [...]

Celtics Four-Point Play 7-31

In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll take a look at what Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are up to these days, I’ll make not of a worthy effort put forth by Brian Scalabrine, and I’ll reminisce on the one-year anniversary of Garnett’s trade to the Celtics.
1. Paul Pierce was recently in Spain for [...]

Celtics Player Review: Tony Allen

Tony Allen went through a year of recovery this past season after a devastating knee injury derailed his 2006-2007 campaign. Allen did come back to play through the entire 2007-2008 season but his numbers were down from how he played before his injury.
Before his injury, Allen was basically the team’s best player after Paul Pierce went [...]

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 [...]

Celtics Four-Point Play: NBA Draft Preview

In this edition of the Four-Point Play, I’ll have a full preview of the NBA Draft and a quick look back at what the Celtics had going into last year’s draft.
1. What a difference a year makes: In 2007, the Celtics had the No. 5 selection in the NBA Draft.

It’s truly to amazing to think [...]
