Ray Allen

The Celtics Have Market Options

By Nathan ⋅ July 1, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The draft has come and gone, and thankfully, in my opinion, the Celtics’ starting lineup remains in tact. I say give ‘em another year. The NBA free agency period officially opens on Wednesday. Celtics’ management has said that they would be willing to pay for the right veteran. Before we examine all options, let’s officially [...]

Jekyll and Hyde: the Rondo Situation

By Nathan ⋅ June 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Let’s set the record straight, when Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen have it both going, they are the best back court in the NBA, bar none. Given some more time together, they have the potential to become one of the best back courts the NBA has ever seen. If Ray Allen wasn’t going to be [...]

Was the Celtics Season a Letdown?

By Geoff ⋅ May 27, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Last summer I made a very early and bold prediction that the Celtics would repeat as champions again and that Tony Allen was going to develop into their dominant sixth man. Well, now we know that both of these predictions turned up wrong, and if those were my two big hopes for the season, then [...]

Celtics Season Ends in Loss to Magic

By Jeff Christenbury ⋅ May 17, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

The Boston Celtics pushed the Magic to the limit minus two of their big men and the biggest defensive presence in the NBA but had no more magic Sunday night as they lost to the Orlando Magic, 101-82, and had their World Championship defense come to an end.
Ray Allen finally broke out of his slump, [...]

The Big Three a Big Joke

By Jeff Christenbury ⋅ May 15, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

On Thursday night the Celtics reminded us that they are just lambs waiting for slaughter.
Yes, their run through the playoffs without Kevin Garnett has been admirable. Yes, the emergence of Glen Davis, Kendrick Perkins and Rajon Rondo has given Celtics fans a pretty good feeling about the near future. And yes, they will probably [...]

Celtics Give up Game 6 to Orlando

By Geoff ⋅ May 15, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Game 6 was a terrible game, as both teams played poorly the whole way through. There were dumb fouls, turnovers, and missed shots all over the place. This hardly looked like two of the three best teams in the Eastern Conference fighting to play in the next round. However, Orlando came out the victorious, beating Boston 83-75 [...]

Big Baby Hits Buzzer Beater in Game 4 Win

By Geoff ⋅ May 11, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Celtics were in control of Game 4 for much of the second half, but Orlando would not go away. With just a few seconds left in the game, the Magic found themselves up by one point. However, the ball found its way to Glen “Big Baby” Davis, not the one who would normally take [...]

Eddie House and the Celtics Tie Up Series 1-1

By Geoff ⋅ May 6, 2009 ⋅ One comment

If someone told me that Paul Pierce only played 16 minutes and only scored three points in a critical Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals I would have panicked immediately. The sad part about this statement is that most of it is true and Pierce was that ineffective due to foul trouble early in [...]

The Curious Case of Rajon Rondo

By Jeff Christenbury ⋅ May 5, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

In the wake of the Eastern Conference Semifinal Game 1 loss to the Orlando Magic, Celtics fans are tasked with looking at the stats and performances of the stars and evaluate why Boston found themselves down 28 points in the third quarter. Without Kevin Garnett, it’s obvious that Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and most importantly [...]

By Geoff ⋅ May 4, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Boston found themselves down by as much as 22 points early in the minutes of the third quarter, but made a valiant effort to get back into this very tough Game One match-up against the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Thanks to great play by Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, and yes, Brian Scalabrine, [...]

Bulls Win Epic Game 6 in 3OT, Force Game 7

By Geoff ⋅ May 1, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

Through five games, the first round series between the Bulls and Celtics has been extremely exciting, and Game 6 was no different after a triple-overtime game that spanned four hours. Unfortunately, the Bulls took Game 6 and forced Game 7 back in Boston by winning 128-127. Ray Allen was superb in the loss and if it was not [...]

Celtics Fend Off Pesky Bulls for 3-2 Series Lead

By Geoff ⋅ April 29, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

In a tight game, Boston managed to come out on top 106-104 to take the 3-2 series lead in what has been an exciting first round of playoff basketball. It all came down to Brad Miller, who missed two free throws with 2.0 seconds left in overtime that would have tied the game.
Paul Pierce really proved [...]
