In what turned out to be a defensively historic game for the Boston Celtics, they played easily their best wire-to-wire games of the season. With that, we've decided to go a bit retro here today, displaying "GreenLights" for each quarter. Sit back and enjoy the outstanding collective effort, despite having no Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Keyon Dooling, Mickael Pietrus or Chris Wilcox.
First Quarter:
Some of Avery Bradley's early pressure defense on Jameer Nelson
AB breaking out for a lay-up
Sasha Pavlovic stealing the ball and getting out for a lay-up
Paul Pierce getting his scoring going early
Early solid defense by the C's (watch the solid rotations by the entire team)
Dwight Howard's early and only offense in the post (dunks, jump hooks)
Sasha doing his best Dr. J with the baseline reverse lay-up
Jermaine O'Neal with some nice blocks, charges and hard fouls
Brandon Bass scoring and working hard for second and third efforts
Pierc...

Paul Pierce appeared to be well on his way to breaking the Celtics' franchise record for most seasons averaging at least 20 points per game. But after his ninth NBA season, Pierce's scoring abruptly fell by 5.4 points per game, and he has only averaged more than 20 points per game once in the past five years. What happened? The arrival of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen changed...

For two and a half quarters, the Celtics were trying to win the MLB home run derby using a wiffle ball bat. The Magic led by as many as 27. Boston’s deficit normally fluttered between 18 points and 21 points, or some other number that seemed impossible to recover from, on the road, without three starters, against one of the Eastern Conference’s top teams.

Right now the Boston Celtics sit at 8-9. That record as of now is good for second place in a ridiculously weak division led by the Philadelphia 76ers who have feasted on a weak schedule and have been thoroughly crushed by contenders. The Boston Celtics currently sit at 7th in the East and will still likely make the playoffs. The Big 3 experiment in Boston was a fun experiment –...

Interesting how Magic fans turned on their team by the end of the game. Big Baby doesn't have a lot of fans in Orlando right now. This was a great win for the Celtics. Not bad for a bunch of "old guys...
