Garnett Propels a 47-45 Lead Over the Lakers at the Half

Found February 09, 2012 on CLNS Radio: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Kevin Garnett,  Ray Allen
TEAMS: Boston Celtics

F1
The Celtics played at a breakneck pace to close out the half, converting three consecutive fast breaks to hold on to a 47-45 lead over the Lakers at halftime. The rejuvenated, high-flying Kevin Garnett has eight points and four rebounds, but the numbers don’t reveal the electrifying athleticism behind his multiple slams tonight. Ray Allen [...]

Raptors 86, Celtics 74: Make it two straight hideous defeats

Via Celtics Town  |  February 10, 2012
The Boston Celtics took more than two minutes to score, and when they did, their first two points were the result of a bogus foul call. An off-balance Kevin Garnett jump shot bounded off the backboard and almost smacked Mickey Mouse, chilling on his couch down in Florida, more than 1,000 miles away, straight between the eyes, but Garnett was sent to the foul line and made both free...

If you saw the opening tipoff for the Celtics-Lakers game Thursday night, then the outcome may have felt like karma. After the Celtics won the tip, Kevin Garnett hiked the ball between his legs to Rajon Rondo, who then hiked the ball to himself. I don’t know if unconventional move was a nod to the Patriots players in attendance or what, but it was pretty funny. Probably would...

Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett's improved play of late has put the Celtics into posistion to make some noise The Celtics were 5-9 after losing the Phoenix Suns on January 20th. It was one of the lowest moments of the Boston Celtics season so far. They looked old and banged up and it looked like the end of the Boston Celtics Big Three. Kevin Garnett wasn’t playing up to the...

The Celtics start the game with a long snap (Video)

Via The Daily Rival  |  February 10, 2012
Hey, would you look at that. The Celtics just made football season last a little longer. Kevin Garnett long snaps the ball back to Rajon Rondo, who does a baby snap to himself. How whimsical! I figure this is the basketball equivalent to starting off your long, at-times-entertaining, but flaw-exposing speech with a punchy joke. Kudos, Ball Don’t Lie

Many of the NFL's runner-up (ugh) New England Patriots were in attendance for the Celtics-Lakers game tonight at the Garden. Kevin Garnett and the Celtics decided to pay tribute to Belichick & Co. by long-snapping the opening tipoff to Rajon Rondo to start the game. The strangest part is that Rondo then decided to snap it through the legs to himself, which by NBA...

Celtics work on their long-snapping after winning tip-off against Lakers

Via The Last Angry Fan  |  February 09, 2012
The Lakers and Celtics squared off in a Thursday night matchup at the TD Garden, and a couple of the Boston players chose the moments immediately following the tip-off to hone their long-snapping skills.  Jermaine O’Neal won the tip back to a waiting Kevin Garnett, who proceeded to spin and hike the ball to Rajon Rondo some 30-feet behind him.  Rondo then snapped the ball...

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.

Enemy Chatter: KG was repeatedly allowed to miss shots

I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Los Angeles. The Lakers survived because the Celtics couldn't take advantage of another weak offensive output. Ray Allen hit some shots early, and one big three late, but Paul Pierce could only manage...
