After every game, we'll take stock of how each individual performance affects the player's overall value.
Starters
Avery Bradley: His D wasn't nearly what it was in the last Orlando game, and the 5 turnovers (a couple of them were really bad) were a problem. And if E'Twaun Moore is going to play like he did last night, Avery... defense and all... will lose minutes.
Paul Pierce: 10 More assists for The Truth. The man just gets it done. He's averaging 8 assists per game over his last 5. That's a leader.
Kevin Garnett: Are you kidding me? He gets the bump just for the post game interview. KG was taking (and making) shots, he was rebounding, and he more than held his own defending Dwight Howard. It's a little inexcusable for Dwight, since he's twice KG's size. But KG played him very very tough, which was key to the comeback
Brandon Bass: Early foul trouble took him out of his rhythm....

Comcast Sports New New England's Jessica Camerato just published a great piece on how Celtics rookies JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore met at age 12, when playing basketball professionally was just a dream to them. The two's lives ended up paralleling each other, and the pair traveled the journey from middle school to the NBA together.
From the time they met in seventh...

Magic game threads were fun in this game. Talk about going from ecstasy to despair! I'll never understand fans wishing injury and death on players though. Talking about Pierce's stabbing goes way over the line. I've gotten down about a big loss or when the Celtics weren't playing well, but I've never hated on the Celts the way some of these fans are hating...

I feel bad for Danny Ainge. I really do. He hasn’t done anything wrong (well, other than accepting a job with the Boston Celtics). In fact, for as much as he is sometimes derided for not giving enough leeway to the current iteration of this team, he anticipated the expiration date on their potential ability [...]

I know this blog has been overly Celtics heavy of late; but they just keep doing such surprising things, so I don’t really have a choice. The two spectacular victories over Orlando, combined with Friday night’s win against Indiana, puts Boston in the midst of one of their most unexpected winning streaks in a long time. There were two things that were supposed to be major...

This post-game analysis was going to go a whole lot differently as the Celtics started off tonight’s game against the Orlando Magic. Boston fell behind early and it looked as though the Magic were going to run away with this one and avenge a historic loss in Boston. The C’s trailed by 16 after the [...]

Second Half Collapse Dooms Magic

After the Magic were blown out of the TD Garden in Boston Monday night, they entered the rematch Thursday night looking for revenge.
Throughout the first half, it looked as though the Magic would get that revenge. After Boston took an 8-2 lead, it was all Orlando. The Magic went on a 30-8 run and played most of the quarter without Dwight Howard. Howard picked up two fouls...

Blake Griffin's dunking skills garner most of the attention but (unlike certain centers who play for the Orlando Magic whose names rhyme with Schmite Boward) Griffin has also spent plenty of time working on his low post game and developing some moves to increase his scoring chances. This double-clutch reverse over Andrew Bynum is a perfect example of the evolution of Griffin...

Things are not well in Orlando Beach. In fact, they may just start to get worse unless the deal that they don’t want to do is completed in the near future.
The Orlando Magic’s record stands at 12-6, but this past week they have suffered two of their worse losses in year. First, they only managed to score 56 points earlier in the week to the Boston Celtics. They played...
