Boston Celtics

By Julian Benbow, Globe Staff EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - It never got out of hand. Brook Lopez drilled a 19-footer, Rafer Alston drained a 3-pointer from 25 feet, and in less than a minute, the Nets gave the Celtics a nice little pop on the chin.

A terrific Boston team aims to bounce back from its first loss of the season when they face a banged-up, winless New Jersey club at the IZOD Center.

By MJG AP Photo Nothing lasts forever, certainly not an unbeaten NBA season. The Boston Celtics lost for the first time this season on Friday, dropping a 110-103 decision to the Phoenix Suns, who lost their first game on Wednesday. For a close game, the Suns were in control most of the way. The NBA's t...

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Now they face the Nets on the road. The Nets are still winless and should be just what the Celtics need to get back on track. Both teams are playing in the second of back to back games after a tough one the night before. Fatigue could be a problem. But then again, even a tired Celtics team should be abl...

By lex1 1. In 2007-08, the Boston Celtics couldn't find Ray Allen enough looks. This year, Ray Allen gets just as many shots as he wants.

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) I am a little worried that the Bulls will be intimidated by Kevin Garnett Pierce silky smooth. Between Rondo, Garnett, and Marquis Daniels the Celtics sure do have a lot of players that look like aliens... Ray Allen is murdering Salmons I dislike Boston.

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Lakers and Boston are in another league then the rest of the league. Cavs are not better then the Celtics. All this team does is shoot 3s.(Boston) Somebody guard Ray Allen... Please At least we have a better record than Cleveland Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!]

By David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com) As for the Celtics, don't forget that they opened their 2009 title defense with a 27-2 record before injuries--particularly to defensive linchpin Garnett--scuttled their season. Even without Garnett they still pushed eventual Eastern Conference Champion Orlando to seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Celtics will miss Glen Davis, who recently broke his thumb in an altercation with a former college teammate, but Wallace should be more than able to pick up the slack, while Daniels will provide valuable bench production at point guard, shooting guard and small forward. When they are fully healthy the Celtics are a suffocating defensive team. Center Kendrick Perkins is a powerful force in the paint, Garnett wreaks h...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Well, the Pistons have finished off the Magic in 5 games. They won on the road and they did it without Chauncey Billups. That should concern the Celtics in that they haven't been able to get it done on the road in 5 tries at full strength. Another thing that is concerning is that the Pistons are now sitting back and resting while the Celtics are going to have to go at least 6 games and possibly 7 if the Celtics can find some heart somewhere. This is assuming that the Celtics can come back and win 2 more games. I used to think that the Celtics were a lock for the Eastern Conference finals but the way they have been playing I don't know any more.

By FLCeltsFan This afternoon, Reggie Miller was on the Dan Patrick show on ESPN radio. First, Reggie was on and Patrick was asking if he decided and Reggie said that he doesn't know what he is going to do yet, but he is working out hard and doing 2 a days trying to see if his body can do it. He said that it wasn't going to be like when Jordan came back where he had to play 35 minutes a night. He said that is not going to be his role on the Celtics. Patrick called him on this and said that he was talking like he was already on the team. He also admitted that if he joined the Celtics they would be the team to beat. Patrick asked him if he would be slower in green and Reggie laughed and said "Slower than I am at 42 years old?" He was asked if he had any problems with KG, Ray Allen or Pierce and he...   [read the full post]

Weve decided that Danny Ainge has taken the same philosophy he had as a player to the front office of the Boston Celtics.

By FLCeltsFan The Sun Sentinel has a rather caustic article that puts forth the fact that the tree teams accused of tanking last season ended up slipping down to the worst possible scenario for them in the draft. The article goes on to be very anti-Celtics. Should Boston's Danny Ainge be rewarded for trading for Sebastian Telfair at the cost of Brandon Roy? Should Memphis' Jerry West be bailed out after dispatching Shane Battier and throwing money at Brian Cardinal and Damon Stoudamire? And enough of the argument about how Boston and Milwaukee weren't tanking but merely were injured, and therefore shouldn't be discriminated against in the lottery. That, in fact, is the weakest of arguments, since Paul Pierce, Wally Szczerbiak and Brian Scalabrine wi...   [read the full post]
