I remember when Chris Wilcox was coming out of Maryland some years back. The dude was a physical specimen and ran the floor like a deer. Tonight he got dunked on by Alonzo Gee. My how times change.

Rondo Injury A Blessing In Disguise

The Celtics beat the Raptors 64-100 yesterday at home without Rajon Rondo and back-up Keyon Dooling.  This was the Celtics best margin of victory since 2009.  This moves the celtics to 11-10, finally getting over .500.  None of this sounds that impressive, considering the celts were playing a improved, but by no means, decent Raptors team.  What I was impressed with was the...

E'Twaun Moore a Pleasant Surprise for Depleted Celtics

Is he the cure to what ails Boston? No, not nearly. But rookie guard E'Twaun Moore is at least proving himself deserving of some extra playing time. After starting the season a miserable 9-of-37 from the floor, the Purdue alum ripped off a breakout performance Thursday night in Orlando, drilling four of four 3-pointers to lead Boston to a 27-point comeback -- the signature moment...

Celtics G Rondo still out with wrist injury

Celtics All-Star guard Rajon Rondo will miss his seventh straight game with an injured right wrist. Boston coach Doc Rivers said at the team's morning shootaround that Rondo will not play Tuesday night against the Cavaliers but could return to the lineup later this week. Rondo is traveling with the team. Boston hosts Toronto on Wednesday. The Celtics have gone 4-2 without Rondo...

Celtics top Cavs to avenge loss

Paul Pierce scored 20 points, Ray Allen had 12 in the third quarter and the Boston Celtics avenged a disappointing loss to Cleveland two days ago by barely holding off the Cavaliers 93-90 on Tuesday night. The Celtics, who blew an 11-point lead at home Sunday in the final four minutes and lost by one, led by 22 late in the third quarter. However, the Cavs rallied again behind rookie...

Celtics suffocating defense earns 100-64 win over Raptors

  The Celtics shot 62% from the field and 63% from deep in the first half, their best shooting half of the season (which is to be expected against a poor defensive Raptors team) KG hit a nice three to end the first half, something we don’t see very often Brandon Bass was able to [...]

’80′s Celtics vs. ’00′s Spurs

DanThe Big Three dominated their decade with an iron fist. No, I’m not talking about the Miami Heat, yet.  No I’m not talking about Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett either. I’m talking about the original Big Three, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish. They amassed three championships together, six seasons with 60 wins [...]Sports-Kings - The Kings of Sports Lists

Breakdown: How the hell did Irving get that layup?

The Celtics had pissed away an 11 point lead but they still had a chance to win.  All they had to do was stop the Cleveland Cavaliers one time and they could go home with a winning record.   But they didn't.  Kyrie Irving split the defense, laid it in, and now all that great stuff we watched over the past week has been erased.  Or at least pushed aside.   So how did...

Your Morning Dump... Where Blake Griffin destroyed Perk last night

  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.  It's the timing.  It's the timing of the play, it's the timing of when I got the pass, the late rotation.  If all that comes together at the right time, those things happen.  It'...

Rivers, Pierce calmly go forth

Celtics coach Doc Rivers said before last night’s game that Paul Pierce’s comments about being held out of the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Cavaliers until 3:42 remained were no big deal.

Leftover thoughts from Celtics-Cavaliers, starring Anderson Varejao’s 20-20 night and Boston’s young point guard growth

♣ How in the world did Anderson Varejao have 20 points and 20 rebounds? Because he was a tornado while the Celtics were a calm, 70-degree day. You’d rather have the calm day weather-wise, but damn it, tornadoes do a hell of a lot more damage. Varejao sank Cleveland’s first three buckets, and they were all exact replicas of this:Jermaine O’Neal, after the game...

Celtics Live Blog: C's Hoping to Rely on Depth With Last-Place Raptors in Town

8 a.m.: After sweeping three games last week against two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics are in the midst of slate that is much less formidable. Two consecutive games against the Cavaliers did not garner the two victories the Celtics hoped for, though, and they'll take another crack at a mediocre squad when the Raptors visit the TD Garden on Wednesday...

Pierce, Celtics thoroughly destroy Raptors

Paul Pierce had 17 points and eight assists and the Boston Celtics crept above .500 for the first time this season with a 100-64 rout of the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.
