This would have been much more fun to write about if the Celtics had won game 2, but I admit to getting a smirk on my face seeing that the Heat lost last night. The story lines just write themselves, don’t they Sam Amick? Danny Granger, Indiana Pacers beat LeBron James, Miami Heat – Sam Amick – SI.com The chastising chatter that often surrounds LeBron James grew loud again Tuesday night, the (more…)

The Heat Lose, So There’s That
Okay pops…to the second round the clerics go! — Austin Rivers (@AustinRivers25) May 11, 2012 The Clerics are heading to the second round against the Sixers. Gotta love Auto Correct. It was interesting to see the difference between the end of our game and the finish at Wells Fargo Center. I understand they’re an #8 seed beating a #1, but the Bulls were without their two best players and the Sixers celebrated (more…)

Hollinger: Could Hawks rally back?
Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesJosh Smith and the Hawks need two more wins to rally past Boston.In today’s PER Diem column , ESPN.com’s John Hollinger examines the chances of a team rallying from a 3-1 series deficit in the opening round of the postseason (only eight teams have ever done it since the 1984 season, but a whopping five teams have the possibility this year). A look at his take on whether the (more…)

Celtics Score Early, Often, Roll Over Hawks
The ebbs and flows of this series are just so interesting. The Celtics started off rusty in game one and lost Rondo for the next game. The Celtics rallied around that adversity and won the next game for Rondo, stealing home court and momentum in the series. The next game was a bit of a let-down, trap game, but the Celtics managed to pull off the win – even if it took (more…)

Playing the Intangibles Game
Promoted FanPost More often than not, with a team like the Celtics that are talented yet old (in the sense that their energy is not the type to support them for playing 40+ mpg), much of the game plan and the results from actually playing games rest on the shoulders of a few particular things. One, of course, is execution – how do the Celtics execute their offensive and defensive game? They (more…)

Ray Ray & RR Watch
All 15 players participated in Friday morning’s shootaround, including Ray Allen, who remains a game-time decision #celtics — gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) May 4, 2012 We’re getting the band back together, boys. It’s been almost a month since Ray Allen has seen the parquet and over a week since Rondo suited up at home. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like tonight’s game is going to be rocking. It has more of (more…)

The Truth Swings The Momentum Back To Boston
The Celtics entered this game down two star starters and facing a possible 0-2 hole. They leave the game with home court advantage stolen, Rondo coming back (angry and rested), Joe Smith hurt, and all the momentum in the series. One of the keys heading into the game was getting a great game out of Paul Pierce. Done and then some. Right from the opening tip, which he stole and took in (more…)

Read moreThe Celtics did their part tonight, but aren’t getting much help from Dallas as the Hawks are up big and looking like they’ll secure home court advantage in the first round. I guess the Celtics will just have to do it the hard way. They got a scare in the first period when Paul Pierce went down with a toe injury. But he returned to the game for a enough time to (more…)
