via Twitter:
To begin with some background information, I think it’s best that we all view this video below of Kyrie Irving’s 40 point performance against the Celtics last night. Avery Bradley’s since deleted the tweet, but followed it up with “No shots at anybody. Its confidence.”
If you take 40 shots to get to 40 points against anyone you aren’t being too efficient so I guess what Bradley is inferring is that if someone scores 40 on him it won’t be a “Durant-40″. It will look more like a Metta World Peace 40. Well Kyrie was 16 of 24 shooting so I don’t know how that complies with his 140 character claim that he’s since deleted.
What do you all think?

Why we watch Paul Pierce

I did a little writing for The Classical series “Why We Watch,” focusing on Paul Pierce’s years of faking us all out. Here’s a little bit of it:
Your eyes tell you that Pierce is not doing those things. Even as he backpedals and blows kisses to the Madison Square Garden crowd after yet another masterful one-man Broadway show, your eyes tell you he’s not shooting as well...

The kid’s got some padding back there, that’s for sure.
Maybe that’s the Celtics problem… a bunch of guys with skinny asses.

The Celtics, coming off their embarrassing loss to the Pistons, will head to Cleveland tonight to face the Cavs. The Cavs received some horrible news yesterday when it was revealed that Anderson Varejo will miss the rest of the season due to a blood clot in his lung. It was just a case of bad luck. The Celtics have had their own problems recently. After their loss in Detroit, Doc...

via Boston Globe :
Paul Pierce reacted to warnings by coach Doc Rivers that roster changes will be imminent if the Celtics do not play better. Pierce said they are straying from the game plan, and that the Celtics are not at the correct mental state.
It was difficult for Paul Pierce to admit, but with his team having a 20-21 record and four straight losses, he had to.

Here's Avery Bradley's original tweet (which he has taken down, since it appeared on CSNNE):
"Please stop sayin he gave me 40. Nobody will ever score 40 on me unless they take 40 shots"
Of course Kyrie Irving just scored 40 on Rajon Rondo a couple hours before Bradley tweeted this. Lest anyone make a big deal about this remember, Rondo when asked about Bradley&...

Kyrie Eleison: Latin for "Lord Have Mercy."I’m going to keep this brief because I’m too angry to think rationally about this (I actually took a break from the game and put a moratorium on my in-game tweeting when I returned because I was too likely to say something stupid).Kyrie Irving was amazing. There’s no way around this. He single-handedly dominated Rondo (and...

It's been more than a year since the Celtics beat the Pistons. On December 30th, 2011 Boston knocked off Detroit 96-85 in their first game at the Garden last season. Since that day the Pistons are 36-63 against all other teams in the NBA combined, but 4-0 vs. Boston. In fact, in those four games the Celtics have never even...
