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.

By FLCeltsFan If the Cavaliers and Wizards go to Game 7 and Utah closes out Houston, the Celtics would host the Hawks at 1 p.m. And, of course, if the Celts close out the Hawks and the Wizards force the Cavs to a seventh game, the C’s will be off Sunday. So, if the Celtics win and Cavs lose, Celtics have Sunday off. That is the best case scenario so that the Celtics can get a bit of rest and practice in. But, if the Celtics and Cavs both win, Round 2 starts Sunday at 1. I won't consider any scenario that has the Celtics losing tonight. Bad mojo...

Here are a sampling from the comments section: Jon Barry picked the Celtics 1st in the Atlantic and 2nd in the East. He had this to say about them: Expectations are NBA Finals or bust, but I don't think they have the team to win it. With Ray Allen and KG, this will be the team to beat in the East. Big questions: point guard and bench. Questions have been answered in the positive. Rondo has exceeded expectations and the bench has proved to be much stronger than anyone expected them to be.   [read the full post]

Like the Celtics are so proud of the game yesterday against the spurs, but the thing is, the Celtics strived, but the spurs are merely fine tuning for the play offs, popovic said he "regret not calling a time off"... that's not what a top coach would hesitate doing in a true game, he was just letting the players make decisions on the court.

The final score was 103-83 and the result was never in doubt from the first quarter on, although the Wizards did cut the lead to 16 at one point after it had ballooned to 27 in the third quarter.

By FLCeltsFan Season Preview: Boston Celtics On July 31, everything changed for this franchise when Danny finally was able to pull the trigger on a trade for Kevin Garnett. He had to give up Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Sebastian Telfair, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff and 2 first round picks to get him and immediately there was concern that we gave up too much in the trade and would have no bench. Al Jefferson was a very popular player and was just on the verge of breaking out as an All Star himself. So at first, the reaction to the trade was mixed. But when Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett appeared together at the press conference, most doubts were gone.   [read the full post]

By FLCeltsFan Also in the Herald is an article that discusses an honor for Cedric Maxwell. Max was at the heart of the Celtics glory days. The opening sentence is an interesting comment on the state of the NBA today: Young NBA fans may find it hard to believe, but pro basketball was once a team game - not the showcase for flashy individual talent it has become. Wright's 57% free throw shooting is cause for concern as is his mechanics from outside 8 feet.

By FLCeltsFan RealGM has a draft preview for the Celtics. Unlike most, they feel that our drafting has been suspect. Their drafting is suspect. For the most part they’ve found good talent in the draft, but the players have either been dealt or become injury-prone. The fifth pick in the Draft may not get them a Greg Oden or Kevin Durant, but it should allow them to take someone worth getting excited about in Beantown. They suggest that we target Yi, Noah, or Horford. I have been leaning toward Noah, myself. The kid has a winning mentality and is going to have the work ethic and drive to be the best he can be in the NBA. I don't like Yi because of his lack of defense. I also like Hawes and Brewer.   [read the full post]

By FLCeltsFan The Herald reports that the Celtics are open to trade offers for the 5th pick (and from what we read on Hoopsworld, possibly Pierce as well). The top players won't be participating but the Celtics still need to evaluate everyone because they may trade down and still have the 32nd pick to plan for. There is plenty of info on the predraft camp. Draft Express has great reports on many of the players who participated. Hoopsworld tells us that Celtics are looking for answers in Orlando.

With no chance to get either Oden or Durant in the fold, the Celtics seem further away from a title than ever. Yi is a good fit in Boston, given his size and ability to score. But is he enough to save Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers?" Pro Basketball News puts Yi in Boston at 5, Conley in Atlanta, and B Wright in Memphis.   [read the full post]

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]

By FLCeltsFan In the Globe, Shira discusses the fact that the Celtics are moving on and preparing for the fifth pick. The Globe has a list of players that the Celtics are looking at including Brewer, Green, Horford, Noah, Thornton, B Wright, J Wright, and Yi. Of that list, I like Brewer and Noah the best. We need defense, leadership, and someone who knows how to win. These guys will give us that. On the other side of it, Jackie M doesn't believe that we are cursed, just the victim of bad management and bad luck.

By FLCeltsFan There are several very good veterans reportedly available. There are several very good players who will be available to us in the draft. I have a lot more faith in Danny's drafting than I do in his trading. Mocks are coming out with some having us taking Yi and some Noah. I like what I have read about Noah. He knows how to win. He is working very hard to improve himself and I think he will push himself to be the very best he can be and think he would be a good fit for us. Yi's defense is suspect and there are questions about his age so I am not sold on him yet. Hawes might be a possibility. Or if Mike Conley was available we might even go for a point guard. Danny has gotten a new PG every year so far so why break the string. Rondo and Conley would be a nice PG tandem. Corey Brewer i...   [read the full post]

By FLCeltsFan Obviously it isn't his ring because the Celtics never won a championship while he was owner and simply went downhill under his management. It was his father's ring and this quote in the Ebay Ad explains a lot about Gaston and what he did to this franchise: He has documented that his father had owned this ring for more than 10 years prior to his death. The son has also stated that he had legally owned the Ring Free and Clear prior to me obtaining the ring from him. The son had no desire to keep the ring as he is not a sports fan and he wanted some collector to be able to enjoy it. Gaston is not a sports fan and obviously wasn't a Celtics fan. We can think what we want about Wyc and company, but they ARE fans and love this franchise and for that we should be thankful.   [read the full post]

By FLCeltsFan According to a press release on RealGM, Tony had successful surgery on his injured knee today. The Boston Celtics announced today that guard Tony Allen had successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery along with cartilage repair to his left knee. The surgery was performed this morning at New England Baptist Hospital by Celtics Team Physician, Dr. Brian McKeon and assisted by Dr. Paul Weitzel. Allen is out indefinitely with no timetable set for his return. Now comes the tough road back through rehab. I know Powe will be an inspiration for him, having fought back through 2 ACL tears and rehabs. We all wish Tony a quick recovery and hope to see him in training camp next season.

By FLCeltsFan The Herald focuses on Tony Allen and his improved play of late. He is working on his focus and says he is never satisfied with his play, always wanting to improve. The Globe reports on the Celtics gift giving this holiday season. Seems like the PS3 is the gift to give for the players this season. That's it for today. Have a wonderful Christmas day with family and friends!! Unfortunately if you need an NBA fix you have to settle for the Lakers and Heat. I remember when it was the Lakers and Celtics every Christmas day. The time is coming soon when the Celtics will be one of the top teams.
