Basketball 101 - The Box Out

Found November 13, 2009 on Red's Army: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Kevin Garnett,  Rasheed Wallace,  Paul Pierce
TEAMS: Atlanta Hawks,  Boston Celtics

Stern_smile
The Atlanta Hawks outworked the Celtics in the Gardent tonight and won the game, 97-86. The rebounding and second chance statistics were ugly. Atlanta had 46 rebounds to Boston's 29. 16 offensive rebounds to Boston's 6. 22 second chance points to Boston's 4. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised. Prior to this game, the Celtics were 28th in the league in rebounding. Point the finger at Kevin Garnett (5 rebounds), Rasheed Wallace (3 rebounds) and Paul Pierce (3 rebounds). Perk (14 pts, 9 rebounds) played a decent game. But it was frustrating to watch him have his shot blocked at least 3 times. Horrible three-point shooting (1-15) also killed the Celtics. The Celtics tried to make a run late in the 4th. They cut a 12 point lead to 7, but three missed free throws (2 by Rondo, 1 by Pierce) and a missed open three pointer by Wallace, put an end to the rally. Paul Pierce tweaked his knee in the third quarter. He made...

A few months back, a story surfaced about Rasheed Wallace playing catch with a prosthetic leg.'Sheed finally gave an explanation today during an appearance on WEEI:A friend of mine, he's handicapped, and at times, when he's had one too many beers, he takes his leg off and throws it around, tries to scare people.

We have to prove to the NBA and this National TV audience that we can be a SOLID TEAM ON THE ROAD and not just this surprising young team that can get up for any home game. Fri should show us how far we have (or haven't) come. Should be interesting...... I'm interested more in how Boston approaches this game. Do they respect us yet, or will they come in with the same...

Random Thoughts on the Celtics Second Loss

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  November 13, 2009
This one was about effort. The Celtics didn't bring it. I usually look at the rebounds to see what kind of effort this team is putting out. They are perfectly capable of out-rebounding every team every night. Rebounding is about effort and desire. That's how a 6'1" guard like Rondo can out rebound centers and power forwards. The Celtics were out rebounded...

The Need for Sheed

Via Sports Blog Net  |  November 12, 2009
Who would have thought that Rasheed Wallace would be an antidote to the Celtics’ front court woes? The guy has spent the greater part of his 14-year career as one of the most infamous players in the NBA. Rasheed has been battle-tested, and occasionally battle-approved, since he first set foot on an NBA court with [...]

Random Thoughts on a Fun Win Over the Jazz

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  November 12, 2009
This was a very fun game to watch. For one thing, the Celtics were clicking on all cylinders and it's fun to watch when they play like that. KG looks better with every game. Shelden Williams is settling into his role very nicely as is Marquis Daniels. Hearing Paul Pierce before the game saying that a lot of the credit for the Celtics' play goes to Perk because he is the...

Do you need a championship to validate your career?

Via Dime  |  November 13, 2009
An NBA championship can do a lot of different things for a lot of different people. If you’re a Hall of Fame-bound veteran who’s carried mediocre teams for years, e.g. Kevin Garnett in ‘08, a ring can be the final piece of validation to cap a stellar career. If you’re an up-and-coming superstar like D-Wade in [...]

During the 1995/1996 season, the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls finished with an NBA-record 72 wins. Since then, the best record any team has accomplished is 69 wins, and that was by the 1996/1997 Chicago Bulls.
