The Boston Celtics traveled to Toronto, following the disappointing overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. From past experience, Celtics fans would have thought that the Raptors would be the perfect recipe for avenging there heart breaking, OT loss, to the Lakers. Not so fast.

Doc Rivers furious after loss to Raptors

Via Celtics Town  |  February 11, 2012
Doc Rivers could have used a bubble bath and a lemon spritzer on Friday night after he left the Air Canada Centre, or perhaps a Boy Meets World marathon and a full body massage. The Boston Celtics coach resembled a geyser the way steam erupted out of his head during the second quarter of Boston’s 86-74 loss to the Toronto Raptors, and matters didn’t improve much from...

Boston Celtics Doc Rivers Has Age Issues

Via Rant Sports  |  February 11, 2012
The last two days have demonstrated a clear issue for Celtics head coach Doc Rivers. The Boston Celtics played a very emotionally and physically draining game against the Lakers on Thursday in Boston. Both teams played hard for not only an entire forty eight minutes, but an additional five minutes as well for the overtime. In the end the Lakers managed to squeak out with a one point...

Recap: I nailed the Celtics effort tonight

Via Red's Army  |  February 10, 2012
If you want to know what went wrong with the Celtics in Toronto, just read my preview. It was spot-on, minus the score. The highlight of the game was Doc Rivers outburst during a 20-second time-out. Doc walked onto the court and blasted his players. The above screen-grab (courtesy Chris Forsberg) is a timid snapshot of Doc's tirade. The Celtics sucked. Flat. Out. Sucked. Box score

Doc, Pierce, KG & Ray Post Game Pressers vs. Lakers

Via CLNS Radio  |  February 10, 2012
Doc Rivers looked defeated after his team met that fate against the Lakers. Kevin Garnett was left off the All-Star team for the first time in over a decade. Paul Pierce missed his chance to nail the game-winner. Ray Allen was open on the last play of regulation, but Pierce couldn’t get him the ball.

Your Morning Dump... Where #9 was edgy

Via Red's Army  |  February 13, 2012
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. "Nine [Rondo] was edgy today, man. I loved it," Garnett said. "I love the fact that he came out and he set the tone. And I thought he got guys involved and he was all over the place. When we win...

Celtics embarrassed by Toronto 86-74

Via State Of The Celtics  |  February 11, 2012
There are clunkers, and then there are games like the Celtics played on Friday night. Of course, I'm giving the Celtics credit by saying that they actually "played" the Toronto Raptors. I think some more realistic terms would be "walked through," "forgot to attend" and "were in a coma for." I've seen more energy and aggressiveness...

Austin Rivers, at the end of a college hoops spectacular, was mobbed by his teammates, his father, Doc Rivers, among them, went nuts watching his son drill a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer to beat rivals North Carolina 85-84 Wednesday night in Chapel Hill.As the clock trickled, he pulled up, launched a rainbow three-pointer and stunned the Tar Heel folks, taking the air...

Celtics hangover results in 86-74 loss to Raptors

Via Celtics Life  |  February 10, 2012
Embarrassed. I don't feel any embarrassment but the Celtics better after this game. That usually happens at the professional level when you take a night off in basketball. The Celtics didn’t seem to care and the score showed with Toronto taking this one easily, 86-74. Blaming each other for the miscommunications was hard to watch. Doc Rivers had to call two time outs in a...

Celtics on the low end

Celtics to be without Bass for 2 weeks

Via Celtics Life  |  February 13, 2012
RealGM The Celtics will be without Brandon Bass for the next 10 to 14 days because of knee inflammation. Bass felt soreness after Boston’s loss in Toronto on Friday night and Doc Rivers learned the extent of the injury on Sunday morning when he received a call from doctor Ed Lacerte.

Austin Rivers Has Been On A Tear Lately

Via SCACC Hoops  |  February 10, 2012
The most highly coveted guard in the Class of 2011 committed to Duke on September 30th of 2010. Since that day, he has received immense media attention (both good and bad) and has shown himself to be one of college basketball’s most polarizing players. Playing for Duke, this does not surprise. While both the media and Duke’s own fanbase have been critical of Austin&rsquo...

Doc Rivers: Brandon Bass May Be Out ‘a While’ With Swollen Knee

Via SLAM Online  |  February 13, 2012
Turns out that Brandon Bass’ right knee isn’t ready for game action, which comes as a surprise to his coach Doc Rivers. From the Boston Herald: “Brandon Bass, despite swelling in his right knee, returned for three games last week after missing only one game – Feb. 5 against Memphis.
