The Celtics made a statement in this game as they won by 34 points, 99-65. The Hawks were never in this game as the Celtics bolted out to a 27-16 first quarter lead behind the superior play of Kendrick Perkins. He set the tone for the team right from the beginning, crashing the boards, blocking   more...

Before the game, no one felt that Pierce, Ray Allen and LeBron would all shoot sa poorly as they did in game one and they were partly right. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce bounced back with good games while LeBron played almost as poorly as he did in the first game. Pierce ended the game with 19 points   more...

today's lesson:leon powe is the man. good things happen - the more you powe.(check the image after the jump.)

Immediately following tonight's game, Cheryl Miller interviewed Kevin Garnett. They talked about getting back to playing "Celtics Basketball", and what that meant. Mainly, KG said (and I'm paraphrasing), that it meant playing unselfishly, giving yourself on both ends of the court and keeping your   more...

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen all played tonight but limited minutes as KG played 14 minutes and Pierce and Ray played 17 minutes. Rajon Rondo and James Posey both had the night off. Sam Cassell started at the point and finished with 9 points and 4 assists in 19 minutes.It was fan   more...

The game began like a nightmare. Boston's offense mimicked the complete lack of flow from game 1. The Cavs were triple-teaming KG on the block, not allowing him any good looks. Not only was Ray Allen missing his field goals, he was missing free-throws as well. Worst of all, the Cavs head coach   more...

I am Jack's pulsating ball of rage.All the things Boston did right in the first two games against Atlanta were thrown out the window tonight. They played terribly as a team, taking quick shots, never making the extra pass, leaving Hawks open for shots. They only forced 11 turnovers, let Atlanta   more...

LeBron James is not the star on the Cavs anymore. That's because there's an underrated player who has shown star potential against the Boston Celtics. Check out this article from Hoopsworld to find out who.

These are just 33 things that I saw or noticed throughout the series. Congratulations to the Celtics for advancing, and congratulations to the Hawks for getting back on the NBA map.

...As we've seen anytime a Celtic falls to the floor KG sprinted over to help Leon, but instead of pulling Leon to his feet, KG began punching Leon in his ribs and stomach (and no, I'm not making this up). He then helped Leon to his feet, and as Leon turned to head back towards the Boston bench KG   more...

The play of last nights game was when Leon Powe dunked over 2 hawks and then KG went Mike Tyson on him! Not only did he punch him, he almost bit his ear off (literally). See pics below from the Globe

The Celtics fooled around a bit in the 1st half, but regained their form in the 2nd half to trounce the Atlantic Hawks 104-81 in the 1st game of their 1st round series. Ray Allen lead the Celtics in scoring with 18 in a balanced attack from the Celtics who had 6 folks in double figures, and Kevin   more...

After watching the Spurs get totally beat down by the Suns in their game 4, I don't feel so bad about the Celtics loss to the Hawks. The Spurs were just totally outplayed in that game. But then again, the Hawks can't be considered in the Suns category. Every team can let down and get beat by a team   more...

Not sure who deserves more credit: Garnett for the ridiculous behind-the-back pass or Leon Powe for the wherewithal to catch it before it ricochets off his dome.

The Celtics looked more like the team that won 66 games in the regular season in this game. They got back to the basics that made them the best team in basketball this season as they played team defense, moved the ball to find the open man and the bench came in and gave the team some valuable   more...
