Celtics Player Review: Ray Allen

By Geoff ⋅ August 23, 2008 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

By Geoff ⋅ August 6, 2008 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

By Geoff ⋅ June 6, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

The game went back and forth the whole night and it was a battle throughout, but the Celtics were able to pull off a victory in this historic revival of the old Celtics and Lakers rivalry. The Celtics won this one, 98-88, and took an early 1-0 series lead. There were some scary injuries, a [...]

The NBA Finals Are Here: Who Will Come Out on Top?

By Geoff ⋅ June 5, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

After watching the Celtics play the entire regular season with the least bit of troubles, and then seeing them struggle throughout the playoffs but recently get back on track, I have to say that I see the Celtics winning this series in six games.
Key Matchup:
Paul Pierce vs Kobe Bryant: Who would say anything else? [...]

Pierce Leads Celtics to Eastern Conference Finals

By Geoff ⋅ May 18, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

The Celtics lead the entire way today, but that did not stop the Cavs from providing a scare into the heart of every Boston fan around. Paul Pierce calmed all those hearts by performing in an spectacular fashion today as he and Lebron James clashed back and forth all game in a similar fashion to [...]

Celtics Still Cannot Come Up Big on the Road

By Geoff ⋅ May 16, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

In a battle throughout the game, the Celtics came up on the short end of it all once again. Guess where this game was? On the road. Boston lost Game 6 of this series against Cleveland 74-69 and continues to falter on the road. After having such a dominant Game 5 at home, many thought [...]

Celtics Four-Point Play 5-15

By KC ⋅ May 15, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

I decided to hold off the Celtics Four-Point Play until after Game 5. I’ll devote a couple points to the Celtics’ 96-89 win. I’ll also look at Danny Ainge winning the Executive of the Year Award and offer up my prediction for the rest of the Celtics-Cavs series.
1. The Celtics defeated the Cavaliers 96-89 in [...]

Rondo, KG Lead the Way; Celtics Still Perfect at Home

By Geoff ⋅ May 15, 2008 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

LeBron Soars Over KG, Celtics

By KC ⋅ May 13, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

SLAM!
…and then LeBron James sent a strong message: the Cavs are going to provide the toughest test of the season for the Celtics. With one dramatic dunk around Rajon Rondo, James Posey, and then emphatically over NBA Defensive Player of the Year Kevin Garnett, LeBron showed that he’s capable of taking over a series.
What’s alarming [...]

Celtics Continue to Struggle on the Road

By Geoff ⋅ May 11, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

Boston was quickly up 4-0 to start the game, but after that it was all Cleveland. The Celtics lost game three in the second round of the playoffs tonight. Cleveland embarrassed the Celtics by beating them 108-84. The struggles on the road in the playoffs continued tonight for the Celtics, who were the best road [...]

Celtics Rout the Cavs 89-73

By Jeff ⋅ May 8, 2008 ⋅ One comment

Both the Celtics and Cavs couldn’t buy a bucket in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. On Thursday night, Paul Pierce (4 points in Game 1) and Ray Allen (0 points in Game 1) combined for 35 points and the Celtics blew past the Cavs 89-73 at the TD Banknorth Garden. LeBron James didn’t [...]

Celtics Win a Sloppy Game 1

By Geoff ⋅ May 7, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

The Celtics managed to hold on to the win in game one tonight, despite some sloppy shooting for both teams, but also some great defense on both sides. It was a low scoring game, ending with the Celtics on top 76-72. If you told me before the game that Ray Allen would not have any [...]

Round 2: Expect a 7-Game Series Against LeBron

By KC ⋅ May 5, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

After watching the Celtics go seven games with the Hawks, I think it would be a slap in the face to not give the Cavs that much credit. Until the Celtics can prove they can win on the road or show that they can ever lose at home, I’m going with Celtics winning in seven [...]
