This is so sweet. I was a Celtics fan for championships in the 60's, 70's and 80's but this one is just more special. Back then we were spoiled. We expected to win the championship back then. This one is sweeter because of all that we as fans have gone through over the past 22 years. This one is for the Pitino years. this one is for the ML Carr tanking year. This one is for losing Len Bias and Reggie. This one is for Red and DJ. This one is for the lottery balls that were fixed not to bounce our way. This one is for missing out on Duncan and Oden. This one is for Vin Baker and Chris Wallace. This one is for Paul Pierce who went through so much as a Celtic to get to this moment and never gave up on the team. This is for the 18 game losing streak and the depths of last season. This is for Perk and Pierce and Al playing hurt. This is for Bird's back and McHale's foot. This one is for the fans who have loved this team and stayed steadfast Celtics fans for the last 22...

When you see KG all fired up like he just found out there was a run on the bank holding all his millions, you've got to be impressed. Particularly when you realize his histrionics are the complete antithesis of all the fake, manufactured crap they use to make Kobe seem like a real human being – as opposed to what he really is: a carefully packaged product test-marketed to...

You Stay Classy, Ray Allen!
As many of you now know, I am a big fan of guys that play the game the right way. Guys who respect the game. Guys who truly enjoy playing, and would play the game even if they weren't getting paid. Sure, there are many of these guys in the NBA today, but one guy exemplifies 'class' and how the game should be played.
That guy is Walter Ray Allen, you may also know him...
This Is Hysterical
Here's a video from August of Bob Ryan & Charlie Pierce flipping out saying all sorts of really interesting, but VERY WRONG things about the upcoming Celtics Season. If you want to laugh even more, read this from "basketball Bob" So tell me what's so enticing about this roster. If Danny had kept Ryan Gomes, I'd be far more optimistic. And why did Danny have...

We all know Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant are playing it cool in front of the press about being down in the series and having to go back to Boston to win two games. That's fine and dandy, but will this laid back spirit translate into some wins?
Of course if Boston...

Rajon Rondo makes a last game upload
Rajon rondo was the highlight real of todays game. he shot outstanding shots and made dissappointing misses but that didnt bug him at all his andrenaline was high till the last seconds of game 6. his steals were amazing and defense stund us. he also took more shots in the first quarter then the whole celtics roster. he definetly had no reason for being nerves this game . as i said...
why rajon rondo should be in the game for more then 14 minutes
why did doc rivers take rajon rondo out of the game. when rajon played only for 14minutes and a half . that was dissapointing because rajon was just getting fired up. the celtics could have probably won game 5 because rajons got speed and he gets the ball from the oppisite team gives it to some one for example ray allen. ray allen takes the 3 point shot. there it is a perfect play...

Gatorade Showers in The NBA? This Has to Stop
During the last moment o last nights Boston vs. L.A. game the Celtics were celebrating their victory, and then it happened. The Gatorade shower. Paul Piece was the one who did the honors and tossed the buck all over an unsuspecting Doc rivers, spilling the red liquid on the bench and on the court at the Garden. A first in the NBA.
Now the Gatorade bath first made an appearance...
Must Be Feelin Good!
That was such an awesome game. I couldn't imagine what it must feel like to have won a world championship. #17 Baby. I have always wanted to go to Boston because I heard that it's really pretty. What's it like having KG on the team. I live in Minnesota and yeah he always carried the team by himself because he had no one else on his team but I think he's a little ahead...
