In case you didn't know it, I love Perk. I really do. On the court, I love his willingness to do the dirty work - to play defense and be the enforcer and to play his role to perfection. He had 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 blocks in last night's game and a very nifty assist to Rondo as he cut to the basket. His presence in the game does so much more than the box score shows though. He is the ultimate team player. When talking about his playing time possibly going down because of Sheed being on the floor in crunch time, this is what he had to say: “It’s part of sacrifice,” he said. “You want to win, that’s what’s gotta happen. Can’t have no hidden agendas and everybody’s just got to go out there and play team ball and the rest will take care of itself.”Absolutely no hidden agendas for Perk. Do what he is asked to do, stay within his role, and be a good teammate. And it isn't just on the court. Off the court, he still has his teammates' backs. Here is what ...

Doc explains Ray's minutes

The Boston Celtics have played 96 minutes of basketball so far this season.  Ray Allen has played 80:22 of those minutes.  I started bitching about it yesterday... and then I continued last night on Twitter.  I got a lot of "it's too early to start on this" type of comments... which I understand.  But at least I'm not the only one who noticed.Today on Dennis...

Celtics take opener, 95-89

 The Celtics came out of the gates slowly, but it isn't how you start. It's how you finish. And the Celtics finished strong, knocking off the Cavs 95-89. The good thing about this game, outside of the win, is that there's one less game in which I have to watch LeBron James, Side Show Bob, and Humpty Dumpty play. Hooray for me. KG came through unscathed, though he did...

Maybe guys should start upfaking LeBron or something

LeBron's chase-down blocks on Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen were spectacular.  Here's the thing... it's kinda becoming his "thing."  Maybe guys should stop and up-fake... or try to glide under the hoop and go for the reverse lay up.  Cuz 'Bron is comin... ain't no doubt about that.  Time for plan B.Hat Tip: BDL via BallerBlogger

Comments from the Other Side - Cavs 10/27

I just have this feeling we are gonna drop this one. PROVE ME WRONG CAVS!!!!!!! Let's Go Cav's!!!! I have been waiting for this game since we went down in Orlando. I know the Cav's are the real deal this season. The Celtics will be going home sad that they are starting the season 0-1. I hate to lose to Rasheed Wallace. I really hate to lose to Boston. Loss...

Solid Bench + Clutch Plays = Big Road Win

This quote from Doc Rivers sums up last night's win over the Cavaliers:“The second unit saved the game for us,’’ coach Doc Rivers said. “And then the first unit down the stretch won the game for us.When Doc began substitutions late in the 1st quarter, the Celtics were trailing 21-12. When all the starters returned to the floor with 4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, the...

Could LeBron Win Defensive Player of the Year?

Premature, sure.  But it is not like LeBron James just started blocking shots and playing the passing lanes like few others before him.  Last night’s blocks on Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen are likely just the tip of the iceberg.  James was second in the league in DPoY voting last season, and will likely get a [...]

NO OT tonight; C's blow out Bulls

  There were no overtimes needed tonight. The Celtics came out in the 2nd half and put on an offensive and defensive clinic that turned a 15-point halftime lead into a 27 point 3rd quarter lead. The result? A 118-90 blowout win that pushes the Celtics to 3-0 going in to their meeting with New Orleans on Sunday. Paul Pierce had a quiet first half, scoring just two points, but exploded...

Oct 27: Celtics 95, Cavs 89

The AP reports: Boston’s Big Three—plus Rasheed—spoiled Cleveland’s overhyped season opener on Tuesday night with a 95-89 win over the new-look Cavaliers, who may have LeBron James and Shaq but appear to be a long way from true title contenders. Paul Pierce scored 23 points, Ray Allen 16 and Kevin Garnett 13 in his first [...]
