Rondo and Pierce guide Boston to easy 101-79 Game 4 victory
Posted on 6 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
After struggling Friday night against the short-handed Atlanta Hawks, the Boston Celtics faced an Atlanta team almost at full strength on Sunday. The Hawks saw the return of Josh Smith (knee) and Al Horford (pectoral muscle) in Game 4. So instead of struggling against the suddenly improved Hawks, the Celtics played one of their more focused and balanced games of the season, crushing the Hawks ...

Doing things the hard way…Celtics hold off Hawks the 90-84
Posted on 5 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
If you are looking for a team that prefers adversity rather than smooth sailing then look no further than the 2011-2012 Boston Celtics. With seemingly every possible advantage to obliterate the Atlanta Hawks, Boston had to scrape claw and grab their way to a 90-84 OT victory. The Hawks had to play the game without Josh Smith who suffered a knee injury in Game 2 in addition to already missing Za...

Ray Allen comes back for game 3
Posted on 4 May 2012 by Andrew Mossad.
Ray Allen came back for game 3 tonight and played effectively for the Celtics but one wonders how it'll effect the Celtics long term. Bone spurs don't go away over time, they go away with surgery. Do the Celtics need Allen to win? What happens if he gets hurt and has to miss a 2nd round series? These are questions everyone should be asking after this game and hopefully Doc and the rest of the...

Can Boston be BIG in the Playoffs
Posted on 4 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Another NBA “BIG” commercial was released this week this time focusing on the Boston Celtics. Most of the other ads feature one player from a contending team but the NBA took a different approach with this one. The league is sensing it could have a great storyline on its hands if Boston makes it to the Eastern Conference finals likely paired against the Miami Heat. With things lini...

I Am A Celtic Playoffs Promotion
Posted on 3 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Thanks to my friends at Celticslife.com I saw these videos. The best thing about them is how they highlight the lesser known guys on the team. It's easy to promote the core four of Rondo, Allen, Pierce and Garnett (and they too have ads) but running ads with Bradley and Bass is just so classy in my opinion. The hunt for Banner 18 continues in the same teamwork fashion that many NBA teams cont...

Pierce Treaty…Celtics steal Game 2 87-80
Posted on 2 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Only the Celtics could play on the road, in the playoffs, without their starting point guard (Rajon Rondo-suspension), the all-time 3 point leader (Ray Allen) and still come out with a win. Only the Celtics. Boston showed their veteran moxy to overcome an 11 point deficit in the 2nd half and steal the win 87-80 in game 2. Paul Pierce shook off the ill effects of Game 1 and put on his best perfo...

“Smoove” sailing…Hawks hold off the Celtics 83-74
Posted on 29 Apr 2012 by Warren Shaw.
With little regard for home court advantage the Boston Celtics began the “Big 3′s” final playoff run in Atlanta vs. the Hawks. Like a little brother tired of being bullied the Atlanta Hawks punched the Celtics in the eye to start the game and ran for the hills on their way to a 83-74 victory. Josh Smith played like a man amongst boys tallying 22 points along with 18 rebounds. ...

Closing Argument…Celtics Playoff Preview
Posted on 28 Apr 2012 by Warren Shaw.
It is impossible to discuss the Boston Celtics 2012 playoff run without making mention to the fact that it will likely be the last for the Big 4. Impossible. So I will embrace the elephant in the room in the same manner the Celtics themselves have. Boston's record going into the All-Star break was a putrid 15-17 with their last loss being their 5 straight in a terrible showing in Oklahoma City....

Death comes in Threes…Knicks bomb the Celtics 118-110
Posted on 17 Apr 2012 by Warren Shaw.
With a chance to wrap up the Atlantic Division by delivering the knock out punch to the New York Knicks, the Boston Celtics got air raided in Madison Square Garden. The Knicks played their best first half of basketball this season (and possibly of any season for that matter) to bury the Celtics 118-110. New York made 14 threes in the first half on 21 attempts (67%) and they never looked back ...

Canada Dry…Celtics lack effort in 84-79 loss to Raptors
Posted on 13 Apr 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The Boston Celtics began their road trip and back to back to back set over the weekend with an absolute stinker in Toronto. The Raptors (who are wounded and even terrible when healthy) defeated the Celtics 84-79 and quite frankly the entire Boston team is to blame. Credit the Raptors for not giving up and withstanding a late but ultimately futile Celtics run in the final 4 minutes. Toronto ne...

Against all odds…Celtics survive in OT to beat the Hawks 88-86
Posted on 12 Apr 2012 by Warren Shaw.
If this NBA season had an underlying theme it would have to be “No rest for the weary”. Fresh off their emotionally uplifting win against Miami the Boston Celtics played their 4th game in 5 nights taking on the Atlanta Hawks. The game was an aesthetic atrocity but the Celtics gutted out the win 88-86 in overtime despite tired legs and suspect officiating down the stretch. Rajon Rond...

Hot Shots…Celtics defeat the Heat 115-107
Posted on 10 Apr 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Once upon a time the Boston Celtics were an old decrepit team with little hope of doing anything more than making the playoffs. That was just two months ago. Now they are revered as cagy and veteran especially following their 115-107 win over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night. It is their second win over Miami in the last 10 days. The Celtics relied on their starters to do the heavy lifting led ...
