Boston GlobeCeltics forward Paul Pierce was the lone Boston player named as a reserve to the NBA's Eastern Conference All-Star team today, his 10th selection in his 14-year career. That means, of course, that Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, and Ray Allen did not make the team.Congrats to Pierce. What are your thoughts on Rondo, Ray and KG not making it?

It's been a pretty good week for Paul Pierce. On Tuesday, he passed Larry Bird and moved into the No. 2 spot on the Celtics' all-time scoring list. On Thursday, the Celtics captain was named to his 10th All-Star team. Pierce was one of the 14 All-Star reserves named on Thursday night prior to the Celtics' clash with the Los Angeles Lakers at TD Garden. The veteran was...

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...

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

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...

The Celtics have won 5 in a row and 9 of their last 10, tops in the league at the moment. Not only that, but statistically they have the BEST defense in the NBA this year, allowing just 86.5 points per game, the lowest average of any team. Three weeks ago if I'd told you that Boston would have a better record than L.A. when the Lakers came to town, you'd have thought I...

February 10, 2012
So I was watching the last play of the game to see what happened and whether the Celtic could have gotten a better shot. What I saw, though, was something that the referees missed and it should have given the Celtics a chance at a better look to end the game.
With 2.4 seconds left, Rajon Rondo sees Paul Pierce is in trouble. He immediately begins signaling for a time out...

Dirk, Pierce All-Stars; runs end for KG, Duncan
NEW YORK—Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce overcame slow starts to return to the All-Star game, but the lengthy runs of Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan are over.
A new record-
Not for Turnovers- but for Kevin Love. He now has had his 6th 30-20 game of his Wolves career. Kevin Garnett had 5 while a Wolf.
Kind of amazing how Love has already done that in his career.

The quality of basketball wasn't quite at the level of 2008 or 2010 (or my kids youth league), but the drama was vintage Celtics vs Lakers.
In the end, the Lakers were a smidge less awful than the Celtics. The result - an 88-87 LA victory in overtime.
In a game officiated to their benefit (rough), the Celtics took only 5 free throws. None of those FTs came in the second half...
