Boston Celtics A Lot of Bull in Our House
A lot can be said about yesterday's game against the Bulls. D. Rose and the Bulls showed up in our house, and they played like the defending champs while the Cs fought from behind all game. The Celts were off from the tip off; Ray Allen was 1-12 shooting in a game where the Cs really needed him to step up. Rondo played an amazing offensive game scoring 29 points but, as my boy...
The Loop: Ray Allen Is A Heartbreaker
Well things had been going too well for this city's teams anyway I suppose, we had to lose eventually, and thanks to Ray Allen's hot shooting in the second half on Monday night, we did.The Celtics beat the Bulls 118-115 thanks to Ray Allen's three-pointer with 2.2 seconds left and Vinny Del Negro's inability to keep track of how many timeouts he has for the second...
Allen comes to the rescue for Celtics in Game 2
Ray Allen disappeared in Boston's Game 1 loss, but he showed up just in time to clinch a Game 2 win vs. the Bulls, Jeff Goodman says.
Celtics Allen Wrench Disrupts Bulls Engine; Boston Wins 118-115
Ray Allen’s nickname in game one of the first round playoff series between the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls could easily have been Claude Rains. The Celtics All-Star guard portrayed the “Invisible Man” on Saturday scoring only 4 points as his team was upset by the Bulls at the “New Garden“. Allen came back with [...]
Ryan Zimmerman Extension: Good or Bad?
Lots of Nationals talk here lately, and I for one, am loving it. There is nothing better than a 1-11 club getting all the pub.Anyway, for those who missed it, the Nationals have locked up third baseman Ryan Zimmerman to a 5 year/$45 million dollar extension.The fantastic David Pinto, from baseballmusings.com, weighs in:Washington may be stuck with him, too. I?m just not that high...
How Low Can You Go? Washington Nationals Attendance
Nationals Park, sparsely attended last season Even with a $611 million public investment, back in 2004-2005 there was a lot of talk by baseball boosters in the D.C. area that droves of fans coming from northern Virginia would spend their discretionary income in and around the new ballpark for the Washington Nationals, thus off-setting the public outlay. The problem is, you have to...
Breaking Down the Ridiculous Celtics-Bulls Game 2
On today's show, Tas and I pick our jaws up off the floor after the ridiculous Celtics-Bulls game. Too much to talk about: Ray Allen's 28 in the second half, "Ben Jordan's" 42, Paul Pierce's absence, Rajon Rondo's trip-dub, which included 7 offensive rebounds... We also hear from a Celtics fan, touch on the Spurs' drubbing of the Mavericks and start...
The Boston Celtics Patriots Day Win
Ray Ray had ice in his veins last night and hit game winner putting the Cs right back in it!! This was a game the Celts needed to have not only to tie the series, but to get the momentum and our confidence back. Ray Allen scored only two points in the first half, and I thought it was going to be a replay of the last game, but he came out on fire in the second half. It was just what...
Paul Pierce, Where You At?
Let me say this first, as to not spark any outlandish comments (Actually, I still probably will). I am not a Boston Celtics fan, largely in part because I am a Laker fan. That's already a given. But I am an addict of basketball and furthermore, a respect anybody that has a gift, regardless of who it is. Tim Duncan? Sure, he doesn't smile and has only showed emotion once in...
A Three-Pack of Victories for the Locals
Marathon Monday 2009 was a success for Boston sports, as the Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics were all victorious yesterday.
The Celtics needed a three-pointer from Ray Allen with two seconds remaining to secure a 118-115 victory over the relentless Chicago Bulls, who got 42 points from Ben Gordon, as he and Allen (30 points) put on [...]Post from: Boston Sports Media Watch
Doc Rivers & Stephon Marbury
Came across this article about Marbury in Newsday:
Marbury should be an effective player for the Celtics. He should give them more scoring off the bench, when Ray Allen needs a breather, and another penetrating guard for those drive-and-kicks that Rajon Rondo has mastered. But the most noticeable issue with Marbury is, after sitting out for [...]
Celtics Seek Record Start
Much has been written and said about how well the Lakers and Cavaliers have played so far this season but the team with the best record in the NBA is still none other than the 2008 NBA Champions, the BostonCeltics. A victory tonight in Washington over the struggling Wizards--a 10.5 point underdog according to BetUS.com sportsbook--would not only be Boston's ninth straight road...
Garnett contemplating knee surgery
The Boston Three Party is beginning to look like one all-star (Paul Pierce), one struggling shooter (Ray Allen), and one injured player (Kevin Garnett). And any lingering hope of a Garnett return in these playoffs should come to an end soon. According to the Boston Herald, The Big Ticket is seeking a confirmation date on [...]
