  • Brandon Bass With the Biggest Dunk of His Career

    Brandon Bass With the Biggest Dunk of His Career

    Without too much to be playing for as the 7th spot is clinched for the Boston Celtics, they didn’t put in their biggest effort to try and beat the Brooklyn Nets, which are a better team anyway to begin with. At least Brandon Bass, someone the C’s need desperately to step up in order to get past the first round in the NBA playoffs, lifted off to produce the biggest dunk of his career.

  • Boston Celtics – Kevin Garnett Makes a Triumphant Return

    Boston Celtics – Kevin Garnett Makes a Triumphant Return

    There were two players who did a better job than Kevin Garnett as the Boston Celtics embraced their aging and injure-prone big man after more than two weeks off the court. Avery Bradley did an amazing defensive job on the red-hot John Wall while Brandon Bass put in what might have been his best offensive performance of the season. And still, with Paul Pierce having a bad night, the KG energy was inside the arena, pushing the Celtics to play better than they have without him.

  • NBA Playoffs – Eastern Conference Race

    NBA Playoffs – Eastern Conference Race

    In the Eastern conference, unlike the Superior West, there are fewer questioned to be answered regarding the final playoff picture in the 2012-2013 NBA season. The Miami Heat won’t lose the number one spot, probably ending up with the best record in the league. The questions remaining are about positional battles – Celtics & Bucks, […]

  • Boston Celtics – Jeff Green Clinches Playoff Spot for Hobbled Group of Guys

    It took a bit longer than usual, but this is no ordinary season for the Boston Celtics, who look like they’re playing on their last fumes of gas entering the final couple of weeks of the NBA season. Jeff Green continues his fantastic form with some exceptional scoring while Paul Pierce glues all the imperfect, not to mention flawed pieces together, in what looks like a successful escape of being the 8th seed in the East.

  • Boston Celtics – Tanking Their Way to the NBA Playoffs

    Boston Celtics – Tanking Their Way to the NBA Playoffs

    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 – Paul Pierce Takes Matters Into His Own Hands

    Boston Celtics – Paul Pierce Takes Matters Into His Own Hands

    He didn’t lead the scoring – that was Jeff Green, helped by Jason Terry. Paul Pierce did a little bit of everything, leading the Boston Celtics to their second straight victory in a season that has been about winning and losing streaks while getting over too many injuries that almost had him join their ranks.

  • Boston Celtics – The Losing Had to Stop at Some Point

    Boston Celtics – The Losing Had to Stop at Some Point

    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.

  • New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Enjoys Finally Dominating the Rivalry

    New York Knicks – Carmelo Anthony Enjoys Finally Dominating the Rivalry

    It’s been quite a while since the New York Knicks have been the dominant team in their traditional rivalry with the Boston Celtics, but time, injuries and ability, especially that of a superstar like Carmelo Anthony, have changed the balance of power between the two teams, in what looks like a preview, going in favor of the Knicks, for the 2013 NBA Playoffs.

  • Boston Celtics – Things are Falling Apart (Again)

    Boston Celtics – Things are Falling Apart (Again)

    Suffering a fourth consecutive loss, making a short three-game road trip as a complete failure, any thoughts of the Boston Celtics being a team capable of making any sort of splash in the postseason after certain promising stretches in the previous month seem to going out the window, regardless of the excuses Doc Rivers makes up for his untalented team

  • Miami Heat – LeBron James Enjoying the Arrogant Role

    Miami Heat – LeBron James Enjoying the Arrogant Role

    A couple of years ago he was a villain. Last season he was the guy winning his way back into recognition, shedding off all criticisms and hatred towards him. This season? He seems to be having fun, and his dunk over Jason Terry as the Miami Heat took another step towards Eastern domination during a win over the Boston Celtics showed an arrogant side, which kind of suits his ongoing transformation.
