Celts in 4 or 5? It could happen
2008-06-10 16:08:00 In my opinion, the Lakers, or really the Western Conference, are fakers. They are good. I will give them that with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. The problem is the Celtics are very good, maybe even great (I am leaning toward very good). The problem is the Celtics are focused more on the prize. It means more ...

Game 2 running … Part 2
2008-06-09 04:28:00 Sam Cassell injured his wrist, with reports calling it a sprain. He is expected to return. *** The Celtics lead at the half, 54-42. A few keys: *Kobe Bryant got his third foul with 1:53 remaining the half. *Celtics Leon Powe scored eight points in seven minutes, getting nine foul shots. *The Lakers definitely brought more grit to Game 2.

Game 2 running
2008-06-09 03:51:00 The Celtics outscored the Lakers 10-0 in the first 2:20 of the second quarter capped by a Paul Pierce 3-pointer to lead 30-22. The Lakers subs were in for the run. After the timeout, Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom returned. Bryant, of course, ended the drought with a 20-foot fallaway jumper. **** Some celebs in attendance: Sox pitchers ...

Game 2: Pierce, Perkins appear healthy
2008-06-09 03:43:00 It’s early, only seven minutes into the game, but both Paul Pierce and Kendrick Perkins are not hampered by their injuries (Pierce knee, Perkins ankle). Pierce took the ball to the basket on three occasions as well as hitting a 3-pointer from 26 feet away on the left side. *** The Lakers are definitely more aggressive in the ...

Celtics in 6
2008-06-05 03:56:00 I don’t think the Lakers know what they’re getting into here. I believe Phil Jackson believes his nine championships will somehow rub off on his team, which is a very good team, and lead them to an NBA title. I don’t see it. I have a story going in tomorrow’s Eagle-Tribune, with 10 reasons why I think the ... More About: Celtics
Michael Curry to be named Pistons coach on Friday
2008-06-04 15:07:00 The Pistons apparently will not waste any time replacing their head coaching vacancy (Flip Saunders was fired on Monday). Assistant Michael Curry is expected to be named the new head coach on Friday . The announcement is reportedly being withheld until the first game of the NBA Finals is played tomorrow night at the TD Banknorth Garden. The only ... More About: Coach

It’s official: Celts vs. Lakers … again
2008-05-31 06:02:00 Give the Celtics credit. They are playing their best basketball when it counts the most. The fact that they held the Pistons to 81 points, in Detroit, says it all. The Celtics were fantastic last night. Even though they fell behind, 70-60, you sort of knew it wasn’t over over yet. Well, the Celtics outscored the Pistons ... More About: Lakers , Official
Red Sox rumor: Masterson may pitch on Tuesday
2008-05-31 05:45:00 It appears the Red Sox injuries at pitcher will get rookie Justin Masterson another start at Fenway Park on Tuesday . According to a source he is awaiting official word from the Red Sox. In two major league starts Masterson is 1-0 over 12-innings with 9Ks and a 1.46 ERA. He has allowed only two runs.

5 reasons C’s will win Friday night
2008-05-29 21:33:00 As I noted in my column today, in my opinion, Ray Allen has changed everything. The Celtics have limped throught the playoffs, basically winning at home, because Allen hasn’t been that good. I believe it bodes well for tomorrow night in Detroit. Here are my five reasons why I think the Celtics will win in 6, surprising ... More About: Night , Friday , Reasons

Game 5 running II
2008-05-29 03:48:00 It appears Sam Cassell has played his final minutes of this series. The defense and pace is too much. He was yanked immediately after less than two minutes into the second quarter (the only two minutes he played) after losing the ball to Lindsey Hunter, leading to a dunk. This came right after another Detroit ... More About: Running , Game
Game 5 … running
2008-05-29 02:51:00 A few early notes: The Pistons are going out of their way to get Chauney Billups going. He scored the first hoop on a short jumper and missed another a minute later. He also made a 3-pointer after a timeout and Pistons trailing 10-5. *** Celtics are working the ball down low to Kendrick Perkins. He has four ... More About: Running , Game
Cs-Pistons Game 5: pregame notes … Tony Allen out
2008-05-29 02:33:00 There is a surprise on the Celtics inactives tonight. Tony Allen won’t be dressing. He will be replaced by Brian Scalabrine. It will be Scalabrine’s first playoff game if he plays. Also joining Allen on the inactives is Scot Pollard and Gabe Pruitt. Callahan refereed Game 4 in Atlanta (Celts lost 97-92). Mauer refereed Game 7 ... More About: Notes , Tony Allen
I’m here … and ready
2008-05-29 00:51:00 Sorry, I had to leave my seat because the Celtics had a “private” walk-through from 6 to 6:30 p.m. Using my Matt Walsh skills I noticed the Celtics worked on a lot of defense. My guess is it won’t help the Pistons that much. And I promise I didn’t tape it. As for the game, let ... More About: Ready
Celts in 7 still stands
2008-05-28 16:31:00 Nothing has changed, other than the fact the Celtics probably have to win tonight in Game 5. You could tell when these two teams met this regular season that they both knew it would probably come to a seventh game. As for Game 5, I expect both teams to be fast-paced and very aggressive in the early ...

Cs-Pistons is great theater
2008-05-23 17:30:00 Nothing has changed, in my humble opinion. This series is going seven games because, well, it has to. These are two evenly matched teams. Both play probably the best defense in the league. And both have key players who can score during crunch time. Last night’s game was a classic, other than a few too many ticky-tack ...

Celts in 7
2008-05-20 15:43:00 The Celtics will not be favored, but then again, they’ve been in that position for much of this past winter. They are being doubted again, and frankly, I can’t blame the prognosticators or Las Vegas bookmakers. But the Celtics have played their best when they had to. As Doc Rivers said, their wins in Game 5 ...
Ray Allen: What’s the problem?
2008-05-19 15:09:00 The Big Three, right now, is the Big Two. Ray Allen has barely played a bit role since midway through the Atlanta series. The four points he scored in Game 7 last night was indicative of the last two-plus weeks. He can’t get open. Why? Is the problem the Celtics don’t really have a low-post presence? Remember, most of Kevin Garnett’s ... More About: Problem
Bring it on … Live blogging has begun
2008-05-16 20:12:00 I open with a prediction. I believe the Celtics win tonight, finally on the road. I believe Wednesday night’s game was a coming out party for Rajon Rondo. He needs to create more on offense and keep the ball moving. If he makes the open jumpers, that’s an added bonus. I’m here if you have any comments or ... More About: Blogging , Live , Bring It On
