Brian Scalabrine recently asked Celtics fans to stop cheering specifically for him, and instead to support the C's as a whole. He says the personal applause takes away from team unity and is a little bit embarrassing. I think there's more to it.Let's say there's a guy on your favorite team's ...

Really? I thought you were going to say that the Celtics fans were racist for only rooting for the white guy when they have at least 7 better players on the team.

Scalabrine To The Rescue As Celtics Knock Off Knicks
When you think of "go-to players" on the defending NBA Champion Boston Celtics, Brian Scalabrine is not the first guy to pop into your mind. In fact he may not be one of the first eleven guys that come to mind. But on Tuesday with Celtics All-Star forward Kevin Garnett serving a one game suspension, [...]

Perk had the quote of the day, speaking about learning from KG's suspension: "He loves the way I play so he hasn't taught me anything (about remaining composed on the court)," Perkins joked. "KG's crazier than me. He's under control but he's not a good example to learn from."[Discuss this topic ...

Rivalry renewed?
The Celtics and Knicks have always had this annointed rivalry between them, but for the past few years, it hasn't had the same fever to it as it had, say, 15 years ago. However, that could be changing, as the Knicks threw a few insults Boston's way after the game last night. From the New York Daily News: (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/2008/11/18/2008...

After much discussion about Rondo's unwillingness to take open shots and contribute to the offense, came up big in this one. He was more aggressive than he has been all season so far and along with being more aggressive on offense, the rest of his game picked up as well. He finished with 15 ...

KG-less Celtics hold off Knicks, 110-101
No KG? No problem. The Celtics improved to 10-2 on the season by holding off the Knicks 110-101. The Celtics took control of this one in the 2nd quarter, outscoring the Knicks 30-19, including a 19-9 run during the first six minutes of the quarter. The Knicks made a game of it in the 4th quarter, climbing to within four points of the lead, but the C's were able to fend them off...
Out of the Gate: What's Down with the Celtics?
Look beyond the sterling 9-2 record and watch the ebb and flow of the games played and you know there's something amiss with the Celtics. The defense that we know and love appears to be there for the most part, but the offense is mediocre and there are some suspects we hold responsible.

This was one helluva game. Granted, I was only able to watch the fourth quarter, but that was enough. For those who don't know, Comcast was relegated to an audio-only feed for nearly the entire 3rd quarter.
In a nutshell, Perkins was a monster (16 pts, 8 reb, 3 blks), Rondo returned to form (15 pts, [...]
