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: 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: James Posey
James Posey was the reliable sixth man the entire season for Boston. He has already come and gone, but did his job well in his one year in Beantown. Posey was usually the first one into the game from the bench (depending on who was coming out, of course).
The defensives stops and three-point shooting ability [...]
Celtics Player Review: Eddie House
Eddie House had a decent first year in Boston, coming into town to provide the role of the back-up point guard for Rajon Rondo for most of the season.
His quickness and ability to catch and shoot the ball were the strongest parts of Eddie’s game. He had the ability to get the ball up the [...]
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: 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″, [...]
Celtics Player Review: Sam Cassell
When the rumors started flying about Sam Cassell coming to Boston, I was very excited. Here was the third-oldest guy in the NBA who was still averaging a little over 14 points per game and about to join a team that just needed a few more pieces in order to make it perfect to the [...]
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 [...]
Boston Throws Parade for NBA Champs
That really has a nice ring to it…The Boston Celtics: NBA Champions.
Since 2001, the city of Boston has thrown six parades (for three Patriots Super Bowl wins, two Red Sox World Series wins, and this Celtics NBA Finals win). This parade was a little different because the Celtics roster is smaller (15 or so) than [...]
NBA Playoff Pick ‘Em: Who Won?
So there we have it. We have a final winner of the Playoff Pick ‘Em and the result should not surprise you. I’d say he knows his basketball.
I will say that I am sticking by the rules I established beforehand. In retrospect, I would’ve weighed the amount of games in the Finals and the MVP [...]
Celtics Four-Point Play: Banner #17 Edition
I will devote the entire Four-Point Play to the NBA Finals against Lakers, which saw the Celtics win 4-2. I will analyze the play of MVP Paul Pierce, how the Celtics contained Kobe Bryant, why Phil Jackson kept starting Vladamir Radmanovic, and how the “numbers” played out in Game 6.
1. Paul Pierce was named MVP [...]
GREEN DREAM: CELTICS WIN NBA TITLE
After 22 long years, the NBA Title is coming back to Boston. The Celtics jumped out fast and never looked back Tuesday night, embarrassing the Lakers 131-92 in Game 6 to claim the franchise’s 17th NBA Title.
The vaunted Celtics defense stepped up huge, keeping the Lakers at bay throughout most of the game, holding the [...]
Celtics Team Plane Delayed in Los Angeles
In an extremely unfortunate circumstance, the Celtics team plane has been delayed in Los Angeles do to “mechanical malfunctioning.” As a result, the plane has been grounded and the Celtics are still in L.A., waiting for a plane to arrive to take them straight to Boston.
More from the Boston Globe’s Marc J. Spears, as of [...]
Hold the Champagne: Celtics Lose Tough Game 5
The Celtics fought the whole way after going down early in the first quarter by 19 points. However, they were not able to come back all the way against the Lakers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals as they had in Game 4. Eddie House hit a three pointer with a few seconds left, [...]
