After an 84-74 win to push the Celtics up 1-0 over the Pacers, I have some takeaways and reactions from a fun day at the Garden. This is all for Marcus Smart Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart's friendship has been well documented during Kyrie's first 2 seasons in Boston. He always talks about how much... Continue Reading →
FINAL: Boston: 128 Golden State: 95 In what seemed like impending doom for the Celtics as they visited Oracle Arena, it turned out to be the exact opposite as they came to play. One man showed up in particular and his contributions couldn't have come at a better time. Gordon Hayward was that man and... Continue Reading →
FINAL: Houston: 115 Boston: 104 Tell me if you've seen all of this before. The Celtics come into a game, look good for a stretch of time, fall behind big, and then try to claw all the way back and fail. That has been this season in a nutshell so far and yesterday afternoon was... Continue Reading →
FINAL: Boston: 107 Washington: 96 An eternity. Thats's how long it's felt like it's been since the Celtics came away with a win. Tonight however, they showed up at home, played Celtic basketball, and ultimately got back on track. I'd go through every player but the entire stat sheet tells the story perfectly. 7 players...

FINAL: Portland: 97 Boston: 92 The Celtics took another L last night and it led them to their 4 straight loss as they go 0-4 in their first few games after the break. While they did take a loss, I really didn't have any issue with how they played. They played stout defense, moved the... Continue Reading →

After a disappointing weekend highlighted by a blowout loss to the lowly Bulls it seemed like things couldn't get any worse. The funny thing about that is, they... Continue Reading →
Final: Chicago: 126 Boston: 116 I want to start this off by asking a few questions. Is anyone having fun? Is not living up to expectations fun? Is getting beaten handily by the Bulls fun (The BULLS)? No, no 10 times, no a thousand times. None of it is fun and last night was just... Continue Reading →
FINAL: Milwaukee: 98 Boston: 97 The Celtics returned from the All-Star Break looking to gain some ground back at the top of the East. Long story short, they did not gain some ground and eventually lost in heartbreaking fashion in the final seconds. All in all, for how poorly they shot (38.2% from the field),... Continue Reading →
FINAL: Boston: 118 Detroit: 110 For all intents and purposes, everything went according to plan for the Celtics last night in a win at TD Garden. While Kyrie Irving continues to be sidelined with his knee injury, Terry Rozier was also out with the stomach bug. Albeit shorthanded, the Celtics are a superior team than... Continue Reading →
