Celtics vs. Nets

This was the most disheartening game to watch so far this year. The Cs came out with zero energy, missed several open shots, were late on several D rotations, and just acted as though they didn’t care about making an … Continue reading

Celtics vs. Magic

Oh well, if I weren’t already old, games like this would cause me to get that way. The first quarter was solid on both O and D and on the boards as the Cs built a 28-22 lead. The second … Continue reading

Celtics vs. Thunder

Finally, a win against a really good offensive team. Although there wasn’t much defense in the first quarter, the second quarter was filled with good team D. In the middle of the second quarter, I made a note that this … Continue reading

Celtics vs. Spurs

This game was a good illustration of why the Cs can’t beat good teams. Their lack of rebounding and lack of understanding of their defensive responsibilities just kill them and they are constantly playing from behind as a result. This … Continue reading

Celtics vs. Jazz

This is what I thought was possible but saw little evidence of until tonight. The Cs won 98-93 as they got tremendous efforts from Leandro Barbosa and Jeff Green to complement Paul Pierce who had 23 to lead the scoring. … Continue reading

Celtics vs. Bulls

This was the best team effort so far, especially on offense. The first unit started and finished the game, the Big 3 with Terry and Bass. Although it got a bit ugly with stupid plays at the end, this was … Continue reading

Celtics vs. 76ers

Another very bad loss which was given away in the first half when the Sixers, one of the worst offensive teams in the league, scored 57 points. The Cs continue to make the same mistakes, failing to play intense D, … Continue reading
