Celtics Not Finished Yet, But Need to Tighten Defense to Have Any Hope of Getting Back Into Series

BOSTON — Jeff Green has a lot of experience putting on a brave face. A person does not go into heart surgery at 25 years old without practicing the best way to look confident when, in a few moments, his heart will literally be beating outside of his chest. With another loss to the Knicks less than an hour old, Green sat at the raised podium in the bowels of TD Garden on Friday...

Doc Rivers made it clear how he feels about Jason Collins well before the veteran center’s sexuality was a topic of discussion.

Paul Pierce, Doc Rivers Spoke With Jason Collins Before He Came Out, Gave Him Unconditional Support

WALTHAM, Mass. — Shortly before Jason Collins went public with a historic announcement, he called one of his former coaches to give him the groundbreaking news everyone would know in a few hours: Collins is gay. On the phone with Doc Rivers, though, Collins was not able to give his message as easily and succinctly as he did in print. So, the Celtics coach interrupted him. “When...

Doc Rivers "happy and proud" of Jason Collins

Via Celtics Life  |  April 29, 2013
Doc has always been extremely supportive of Jason Collins. On several occasions he referred to him as a great locker room presence and he even put him in the starting lineup at one point. It's possible that Doc already knew the news we all learned about Collins today. Either way, he certainly liked what he brought to the locker room and somehow he might have also been possibly...

Celtics offense needs to take advantage of Knicks D

Admiral Ackbar would lose his voice calling out all the traps on the Celtics by the Knicks this series.  Paul Pierce, primarily, and Jeff Green have been double-teamed and trapped with great effectiveness most of the series. While the trapping has been effective, it can also leave you vulnerable.  The Celtics have an opportunity, like this guy, to turn his opponent’s greatest...

Brandon Bass stepping his game up in the playoffs

Via Celtics Life  |  April 29, 2013
It's funny how these things work. You have a subpar regular season, but then step up your game when it counts the most and the previous 6 months are forgotten. Doc Rivers for one has appreciated playoff Bass. Celtics coach Doc Rivers called forward Brandon Bass "the star of the game" for his defense on Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony. Bass limited Anthony to 10-of-35...

Comments from the Other Side - Knicks Game 4 4/28

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  April 29, 2013
There sure was a lot of complaining about the refs in this game while at the same time they are talking about all the Celtics in foul trouble and their guys not in foul trouble.  That's downright funny.   Also, it never ceases to amaze me how they trash their own players when they miss a couple of shots or have a tough stretch and then when they hit a couple of shots they...

Didn't see this coming

If you told any Celtic fan before the season that Boston would be down 0-3 in the 1st round of the playoffs, they would laugh at the thought. If you told any Celtic fan that they would be down 0-3 against Atlantic division rival Knicks, they would probably laugh even harder. Now it's the reality that nobody expected.
