Boston put a bit of a beat down on New Jersey last night. The game was fairly close early on, but about 2/3 of the way through Boston pulled away and won easily. Despite the fact that New Jersey was missing a few key players due to injury, this game was about a proven playoff tested team grinding out a win vs an inferior opponent. The final score was 6-1; or was it 89-70? Wait, what sport am I talking about?
I didn’t see a second of the Bruins win over the Devils last night because I was at the Celtics/Nets game. The Celtics did what they often do, which is play to the level of their opponent for most of the game. In this case it was a Nets team that fielded a starting five indistinguishable from their bench. It’s also crazy how much the Garden crowd loves Greg Stiemsma already. With Football season coming to a close, I’m thinking of creating some sort of “Stiemsma-meter” to replace the Tebometer.

The Celtics could use Allen on Friday as the Pacers come to town. Indiana's better than Detroit, Washington and New Jersey, the three teams that the Celtics...

Can’t shoot; temperamental; thin-skinned; egotistical. These aren’t the most endearing descriptors, particularly when they’re attached to your starting point guard who, incidentally, also doubles as your best young player and the future of the team. Indeed, to even contemplate handing the reins of the most successful franchise in league history to a character as flawed as those...

Ray Allen is in the final year of his deal. Then again, it has been well documented that just about everyone on the Celtics roster is in the final year of their deals. Allen will turn 37 years old this summer and while most superstars his age would have started to fizzle out three or four years ago, Ray has continued to build his case as the greatest shooter the sport has ever...

The Celtics shook off a lackluster first half blowing out the Nets 89-70 in Boston . New Jersey was without Brook Lopez and Deron Williams yet hung with the Celtics in the first half. Boston took control in the 3rd quarter and never looked back in a blow out win.

The Celtics had one of the most forgettable games you could imagine. The Pacers came into Boston beating the Celtics, 87-74. I have not seen this lack of effort in a long time from the Celtics who were not missing anyone due to injuries. Paul Pierce struggled all game in one of the slowest paced games you will see at the Garden.

Jim RacaltoSo far in this very young NBA season, it seems that Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo is maturing and coming into his own before our very eyes, most notably the drastic improvement in his jump shot. You know, the same jump shot that President Obama and Celtics President Danny Ainge poked fun at last year. [...]Sports-Kings - The Kings of Sports Lists
