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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Celtics Player Review: Rajon Rondo
At last we have reached the starting five for the Celtics in these reviews. The first of which is the point guard, Rajon Rondo. Coming into his second season with the team, Rondo was asked to step up his game a notch and become the starting point guard after the departures of both Delonte West [...]
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 Player Review: Gabe Pruitt
Gabe Pruitt spent most of his time in the NBA Development League in 2007-2008, but has a bright future ahead of him and he’s already got a ring to go along with it. Pruitt also saw no action at all in the playoffs, gaining most of experience against D-League players. However, Pruitt looks to be more [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Injured Pierce Returns, Leads C’s Past Lakers
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 [...]
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, [...]
Celtics Win a Sloppy Game 1
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 [...]
Celtics Get Back on Track, Lead Series 3-2
The Celtics came back to Boston and did exactly what they needed to do while they were at home: get a win. After the two losses in Atlanta, the Celtics desperately needed to come back home and get back on track. They did just that by controlling the Hawks and beating them 110-85. Game 6 [...]
Hawks Continue to Surprise, Upset Celtics in Game 4
No one expected this series to go to a fifth game, and certainly no one expected it to go a sixth game. But after tonight’s loss, the series is going to return to Boston on Wednesday night for game five and then back to Atlanta for game six on Friday.
The heat was on early in [...]
