Flash Fall in Home Opener

Gabe Pruitt stole the show in his first game with the Utah Flash, scoring 31 points including the game winner and dishing out 8 assists. Check out the details.

This season KG and Pierce are averaging 38 minutes a game, Ray Allen more than 39. There's only one word for letting these three play so much so early in the year, INSANITY. The Celtics are headed for trouble. They've got a core of 30-somethings playing major minutes, even in blowouts. It's hard to win a championship, let alone a playoff series, when your top guys...

Tony and Ray Allen both sat out practice today. Tony with a thigh bruise and Ray with a sprained ankle. Both are listed as day to day. Because of this uncertainty, Gabe Pruitt is being recalled from the D-League and should be available for the Cavs game.

There were lots of questions surrounding this team prior to the season but one by one, they have been answering those questions with their play.

Ray Allen's game winner and a few thoughts on his shooting slump and the difference between veterans and young players.

The Celtics are getting respect from opponents and media. This week they will have 3 national TV appearances, more than they had all last season. Celtic Pride is back!!

In what could be one of the worst inbounds plays in NBA history, the Bobcats ran around like terrified children in a Haunted House. When the ball was finally lobbed inbounds, Eddie House tipped it in the air. Pierce came down with it, was immediately surrounded by Bobcats, and passed the ball over to Ray Allen who was able to knock down the game winner as the game expired. Boston wins, 96-95...

But I started to put myself in Antoine's shoes. He's an aging star on a steep decline. A guy who enjoyed the limelight like no other. Buried on the T'wolves bench, he's finally relevant again -- even if it's for the wrong reasons. Maybe he doesn't deserve to make the All-Star team over guys like Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Carlos Boozer, or his teammate...

I am happy that the Boston Celtics and the Big Three are getting all of this good publicity (not that Boston needs any more success), but when I see so many people sporting Celtic gear and saying how big of fans they have been for sooo long, I have to question them. I am no expert (although close), however I would rather see people supporting their local struggling sports franchise...

The Celtics improve to 11-1 with a last second shot from Ray Allen to beat the Bobcats 96-95 in a thriller in Charlotte.

Taking a look at last year's Celtics or this year's Wolves versus this year's Celtics gives you a very good look at the difference between teams building with youth and teams that go with veterans.
