Doc Rivers: "We have one home game left"
CelticsLife participated in a conference call with Doc Rivers earlier today. Due to some technical issues we don't have a recording for you, however, here is the full transcript via ASAP Sports
Q. I was just wondering how close did the Celtics come to being broken up at the trade deadline? And how glad are you that they weren't?
COACH DOC RIVERS: Well, I'm obviously...
Boston's Mayor: "KJ" & "Hondo" critical to C's recent success
That there is good ol' Mayah of Boston, Thomas M. "Mumbles" Menino, talking about two of the keys to the Celtics' success....
"KJ"
and "Hondo"
Yup... I keep marveling at those Hondo to KJ alley oops. Miami really has no answer for that.
You know, some people might look at this as a facepalm moment that is leading to national embarrassment...
Doc: Last year's team would be out of the playoffs already
Doc Rivers has, from time to time, shown he's not entirely fond of last year's Celtics team. He'll tell you flat out that last year's team was more talented than this one, but this one actually plays together.
Today, less than a day removed from a tough, gritty win to even up the Eastern Conference Finals at two games each, he brought it up again.

Rajon Rondo's Tip Pass to Mickael Pietrus Could Be Most Important Play of Series Thus Far (Video)
Rajon Rondo has had much flashier passes in the Eastern Conference Finals, but a fourth-quarter tip to Mickael Pietrus in Game 5 is his most important assist of the series thus far. The Celtics built a five-point lead a couple of minutes into the final frame on Tuesday night, but the Heat came roaring back to seize the lead and briefly control of the game. That momentum only seemed...
Ray Allen: It would be hard to walk away from such a solid locker room
The Oklahoma City Thunder are already waiting where the Boston Celtics want to go. The NBA Finals isn’t the final destination the Celtics plugged into their GPS — no, they don’t want to stop after one more win against the Heat. But first they must make the Finals before they make any moves to claim the Larry O’Brien Trophy.If the Celtics do succeed against the Miami Heat...
The Celtics Late Night Show Returns tonight! Eastern Conference Finals breakdown
B-Paul and Nick Gelso will return to the mic this evening for a condensed Celtics Late Night Show. The show will be at a special start time of 6 pm, EST and will be a 60 minute broadcast. The guys will be breaking down the Eastern Conference Finals, taking a look at Rajon Rondo’s historic [...]
The biggest difference between Doc Rivers and Erik Spoelstra
NBA coaching is about x’s and o’s, sure, but it’s also about psychology. It’s about encouraging a group of 15 players that the system works, and will work, even if it just failed. It’s about walking into a deflated locker room and becoming a dragon that breathes hope. It’s about walking into a joyous locker room and letting everyone know there’s still plenty more...
The Basketball Gods smite Miami with block-to-3-pointer comeuppance
This play was all kinds of amazing in a very short time:
The block by Wade on the Bass dunk attempt? Nasty? Rondo recognizing in the span of less than two seconds, that Mickael Pietrus is in the corner and then slapping it to him while getting fouled (how big was THAT no-call??) was ridiculous. Pietrus hitting the 3... well... that was probably just luck the way he was...
Boston mayor Tom Menino says ‘K.J.’ and ‘Hondo’ really drive the Celtics (Video)
Throughout history we have seen numerous examples of why sports and politics are better off remaining in their own domains. Barack Obama may know a thing or two about college basketball and be a big Chicago Bulls fan, but typically politicians have too much on their plate to pay close attention to sports. Either that, or it just doesn’t interest them. Whatever the...
Looking ahead at a potential Boston Celtics – OKC Thunder NBA Finals
*** WARNING: If you are superstitious, do not watch this video! *** Boston Celtics fans are pretty superstitious. I think most sports fans are. So, it’s hard to take even a quick sneak peak ahead at a potential NBA Finals match-up without jinxing our beloved Celtics. I wouldn’t dare do it. However, our friend Alex [...]
As A Group, The Celtics Have Re-Opened The Window
When playoff time comes around here, this site tends to get a little “homery” if that’s a word. I dont think there’s anything wrong with that. One of the best things about sports is getting caught up in a great run by your favorite team.
Well, the Celtics are on one hell of a run.
Have they gotten a little lucky with Derek Rose going down and Bosh being dinged up? Sure. But...
Patience is a Heavenly Green Virtue
Athletic competition has become almost devoid of true patience. Basketball, in particular is generally a rampage of emotion and speed that can be quite overwhelming. Patience has become a lost art in the world of sports.
It is the most important of the seven heavenly virtues. Patience is said to specifically oppose the vice of wrath. However, this is not something that is an exact...
Celtics Showing Why We Can't Count Them Out
It was Sunday, April 29 that the media restarted their "too old, too slow" routine about the Celtics. Boston lost Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round by a score of 83-74, and everyone was ready to count out Boston yet again. The C's have come to expect these comments ever since their deep playoff run in 2010. That year, the Celtics played the Cavs in the Semis...
Can the Celtics keep this up?
When Keyon Dooling hit his second consecutive three pointer (yes, you read that right) with 9:45 to go in the 2nd quarter last night, Boston led 45-28. The Celtics had scored 45 points in just over 14 minutes of game time. In the remaining 39 minutes, they would score just 48 points. In fact, the C’s scored more in the 1st quarter (34), than they did in the second half and...
