Confetti rained down on the hardwood of The Summit in Houston in 1995 when Rudy Tomjanovich, the Houston Rockets' head coach, expressed a combination of heartfelt relief and vindictive "I told you so." The defending champion Rockets had been dismissed as too old to repeat, yet they were the ones strutting around in commemorative hats and T-shirts. Tomjanovich was asked...

Despite a strong first quarter from Kevin Garnett (11 pts, 4 reb) the Celtics trailed after one, 28-27. Rajon Rondo returned to action tonight but was 0-1 in the first and took a shot to the eye early on. Carmelo Anthony found his shooting stroke early with 10 first quarter points. The second half [...]

Remember when Paul Pierce said last year that the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics should not be considered a rivalry?
It is time to lay that statement to bed as the two teams put on a heart stopping classic back and forth game that ended with a Celtics 91-89 win. Paul Pierce continued his excellent play leading all scorers with 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. Kevin Garnett...

Expecting anything but drama in this game would have been foolish as the Boston Celtics outlast the Knicks 91-89. This game was a nail-biter as the officials seemed to control the outcome all around. First Paul Pierce made a huge three pointer as the shot clock went off that ended up not counting, then Landry Fields air balled the go ahead three, next Pierce made...

How great was that game last Friday! What a great appetizer for the superbowl today! Why was it so great? I’ll tell you why…This was the first matchup between the Celtics and the Knicks since the disappointing opening game loss in which Melo picked apart our defense. This game featured Rondo playing in his first game back since his injury in early January. The Knicks...

Knicks fans are always good for some fun comments. I've never seen a team complain so much about the refs when most of the calls were going their way. Truth is they let a lot go both ways. They call the Celtics thugs but yet, who ended up with the black eye? I love how they complain about Pierce getting away with flops and then proceed to talk about how many flops Melo...

•Some great close out moments in the Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics games tonight. Durant scored last 8 points for the Thunder, including a cold-blooded three with Rudy Gay right in his face with the game tied. Absolutely incredible to watch. Paul Pierce did his own closing out with the Celtics, but his most incredible play didn’t count. As the shot clock ran down with...

A report from the New York Daily News claimed that Mike D’Antoni would be fired if his Knicks did not beat the Celtics on Friday night.Down two points, perhaps coaching the final timeout of his Knicks career, D’Antoni combed his mustache, prayed for the ghost of Steve Nash to come save him and looked at Carmelo Anthony and Amare, two of the NBA’s most dangerous scorers. He...

No one would be surprised if Ray, Pierce, or even Pietrus (who I’ll write about in a post later this week) was pictured with the words 3 pointers. But Kevin Garnett, in the last 3 games, is perfect from beyond the arc (3-3). You may say “small sample” size. But heck, who cares! And KG, yeah, he wants you to wipe that surprise look off your face each time he drains...
