Posted on 14 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball, Uncategorized

Resting Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett before the NBA playoffs begin seems to be a must for Doc Rivers, and by finally clinching the 7th spot in the Eastern conference, he ensured he can give them minimal time on the court for the final two games of the season, while hoping it doesn’t throw them too much out of rhythm.

Boston Celtics – Tanking Their Way to the NBA Playoffs

Posted on 2 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

There’s lottery tanking, and then there’s the playoffs kind, when you know you’re not going to finish in a better position than you’re already in so you rest players as much as possible. The Boston Celtics aren’t going to finish above the 7th spot in the Eastern Conference, so Doc Rivers prefers battling his battles without Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, not leaving himself much of a chance.

Boston Celtics – The Losing Had to Stop at Some Point

Posted on 28 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

If the Boston Celtics are going to get anywhere this season, which means beyond a first round berth in the NBA playoffs, it’s going to be up to guys like Jeff Green and Brandon Bass to start playing like NBA stars or close to that, instead of hoping Paul Pierce plays like it’s five years ago while Kevin Garnett somehow miraculously heals from his injury problems and most of all, old age.

Posted on 13 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

On one side, the Boston Celtics – a team bound towards the playoffs, with an excellent defense since the return of Avery Bradley, and a hall of famer in Kevin Garnett, still playing, most of the time at a very high level. On the other end, the worst team in the NBA, the Charlotte Bobcats. More

It’s usually Paul Pierce who is in charge of the big shots in crucial moments for the Boston Celtics, has been for quite a few years now.

USA Basketball – Who Needs to Replace Coach K

Posted on 27 Feb, 2013, by in Featured

It’s been 7 years with 2 Olympic Gold Medals for Mike Krzyzewski, building back a somewhat torn down Dream Team franchise with Jerry Colangelo that suffered from a disappointing run before Coach K took the reigns. However, the 2012 London Olympics were the last time for him, and it’s likely that either Gregg Popovich or Doc Rivers will take over the position. More

Boston Celtics – Going on Without Rajon Rondo

Posted on 28 Jan, 2013, by in Basketball

The win against the NBA champions despite not having Rajon Rondo, now out for the season after tearing his ACL, proves just one thing: For the Boston Celtics to have any sort of chance of making anything happen this season, they need Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett at their best all the time, and I’m pretty sure that’s impossible.

Posted on 26 Jan, 2013, by in Basketball

Back-to-back triple doubles don’t mean a thing when the Boston Celtics lose both games. Rajon Rondo is having an impressive statistical season, but that doesn’t mean he’s not part of the problem(s) causing the Celtics to lose six games in a row and fall three games below .500. More
