Jeff Green hits game-winner, hugs surgeon

Via Next Impulse Sports  |  March 28, 2013
Jeff Green hit a buzzer beater in Cleveland on Wednesday night to lift the Celtics to a 93-92 win, and following the winner he hugged a man who saved his life a little over a year ago.  Dr. Lars Svensson was the recipient of a hug, and a well deserved one, as he performed open heart surgery on Jeff last year to mend an aortic aneurysm. Jeff Green spoke after the game to Boston.com...

Pierce could sit against the Timberwolves

Via Celtics Life  |  April 01, 2013
The already battered Celtics could be without their captain against Minnesota Monday night. According to ESPN's Chris Forsberg, Paul Pierce turned his ankle in the first quarter which forced him to sit out the final 13 minutes of the Celtics' 108-89 loss to the Knicks Sunday. Pierce was seen on the bench with an ice pack taped to his right ankle. From Forsberg's piece...

Jeff Green’s Emergence Sparks Celtics

Via Celtics 24/7  |  March 30, 2013
Entering this season many wondered about the role of Jeff Green! How would he play coming off of heart surgery! Would he get enough starts? Could he play at a high level? Would he fit in with the team? Was he worth that trade a few years ago? Well these past few weeks….Jeff Green seems to have answered all those questions with an exclamation point! First he scored a whopping 42...

Jeff Green's game winner Wednesday meant so much more

Via Crossover Chronicles  |  March 29, 2013
Jeff Green made an improbable layup as time expired Wednesday to give Boston a 93-92 win over Cleveland on the road. It was the kind of euphoric moment kids dream about and was certainly a big moment for Green, as it would any other player. His Celtics earned a key win late in the season with Playoff races tightening up and it was a great moment for a young player to have the...

Jeff Green Hugged His Doctor After Hitting Game-Winner: I Think I Made Him Proud

Via Beyond The Buzzer  |  March 28, 2013
Dr. Lars Svensson is the reason Jeff Green is still playing NBA basketball, the reason why Green was on the court to hit the game-winner to beat the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.  In December 2011, Dr. Svensson performed heart surgery in Cleveland on Green after he was found to have an aortic aneurysm – he missed the entire 2011-12 season. A season later, he’s one of the key...

Jeff Green breaks Cavs' hearts at buzzer, then hugs his heart surgeon

Via The Other Paper  |  March 28, 2013
Call it heartbreaking, heartwarming or heart stopping but, any way you look at Jeff Green's last second buzzer-beater in Quicken Loans Arena, don't call it disheartening. Green's last second layup to give the Boston Celtics a 93-92 victory on the home floor of the Cleveland Cavaliers was all that more special to the Celtics player because the man responsible for Green...

Celtics Jeff Green Hits Game Winning Shot, Celebrates With Heart Surgeon (Video)

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  March 28, 2013
About 14 months ago, Celtics forward Jeff Green wasn’t sure he’d live, let alone play professional basketball again because of a rare heart condition. The Celtics played the Cavaliers in Cleveland last night, and for Green it was a semi-homecoming considering how much time he spent at the Cleveland Clinic. Last night Green hit a buzzer beating lay-up, to give the Celtics a 93...

Welptics: New York Knicks crush Boston Celtics 108-89

Via Celtics Town  |  March 31, 2013
Melo and the Knicks punished Boston from 3-point range.Few things are as aggravating as hearing an opposing crowd chant “Bos-ton sucks,” but one thing that’s worse is knowing that they aren’t wrong. The Celtics, for lack of a better descriptor, sucked tonight. Aside from Jeff Green (and Chris Wilcox on two field goal attempts), no one shot above 50% from the field. The Celtics...

Heart Surgery Jokes Are Hilarious, Just Ask Mike Felger

Via Boston Sports Media Watch  |  March 29, 2013
In a show much of which was spent lambasting the Bruins and GM Peter Chiarelli for not being able to close a deal, (that’s a whole other topic) Michael Felger decided he needed to poke the Celtics as well, specifically Jeff Green, who hit the game winning shot the night before. When anyone undergoes heart surgery, it’s a big deal. The issue Jeff Green (and Chris Wilcox) had last...

8 a.m. ET: The last team to beat the Celtics prior to their current two-game win streak was the Knicks. Jeff Green and company have a chance to change that Sunday.

This is the fourth and final meeting of the year between these teams...

Recap: Celtics - Hawks

Via Celtics Spot  |  March 29, 2013
I think it's safe to say that tonight was the best offensive performance for the Celtics in terms of both points scored and efficiency. In 48 minutes the Cs poured in 118 points and shot blistering percentages of 54 and 48% from the floor and downtown respectively. Unfortunately you can't say the same for their defense. The effort on that end of the floor was poor to say...
