I saw the score of the Spurs game in the first half and I was going to thank the Spurs for reminding the world that all teams have bad days and even San Antonio isn't perfect. Instead, I have to settle for thanking the Clippers for reminding us that they are the Clippers and at least we'll never be them. Clippers' dream season nearing end as Spurs win 96-86 for 3-0 lead - Sam Amick -...

Avery Bradley, who stayed in Friday night’s game despite having his fragile left shoulder pop out (and back in), is missing today’s practice, according to coach Doc Rivers.“He’s getting treatment,” the Celtics coach said prior to today’s session, while also acknowledging that a time is going to come when his tough second year guard is [...]

Looking back at May 16 th "Per Diem" article by John Hollinger at ESPN Insider , which was written after the Celtics -Sixers series was tied after 2 games, I found a little bit of comfort. Since the C's lost on Friday to drop back to 2-2 in the series, my hopes of being one of the 31% of fans at CelticsBlog that thought it would be the "Celtics in 5 games" were dashed. Most (43%) thought...

The Celtics are the better team. I believe that down to my bones. But the saying goes, you are what your record says you are and right now we're all even with the Sixers in the 2nd round of the playoffs. This team consistently manages to be inconsistent and it is maddening. We know they can do so much more because we see it so often. In the very last game the Celtics led from wire to...

The Celtics held a 15-point advantage during the first quarter. Everything was going Boston's way. Rondo was aggressive. He was attacking the glass, active on defense and he was his usual self, dishing glorious passes and driving hard to the lane leaving his defender hopelessly behind him. Paul Pierce finished the first quarter with seven points. Brandon Bass was 4-of-6 with 10 points....

In the words of that great philosopher Britney Spears, "oops, I did it again." If there is such a thing as jinxing, I've managed to do it twice in this series. I wrote the following yesterday afternoon. Pssst: Someone Tell Kevin Garnett That Lavoy Allen Is A KG Stopper - CelticsBlog Hats off to Lavoy for playing KG reasonably well. And by hats off, I mean both out of respect and out...

Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy and John Mitchell of the Philadelphia Inquirer discuss Game 4 of the Celtics-76ers series.

Promoted FanPost I didn't realize this until finally looking at the numbers (it took a few hours to summon the courage!), but here is why the Celtics lost the game... You know how when playing basketball, if you get up by too many points too early, you suddenly slide into "complacency mode?" Well, the Celtics are one of the best teams at sliding into complacency mode - they lack a...

Friday night's game proved that Kevin Garnett can't win this series by himself.

Promoted FanPost This might sound like scapegoating, but this is just my personal observation. I really don't understand why Hollins gets playing time, especially more than Greg Stiemsma. Greg has proven himself to have the capacity to be a consistent contributor (whether it's blocks, steals, rebounding, those rare jumpshots), yet Hollins, who hasn't really proven anything (he was a late...

By Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff PHILADELPHIA -- Celtics coach Doc Rivers looked frustrated but not defeated after the Celtics lost Game 4, 92-83, Friday night. "I thought they came out and became more physical, and I thought we got into...
The Boston Herald (Dan Duggan) —
The 76ers just pulled off a stunning 92-83 comeback win over the Celtics. The C’s didn’t make the plays down the stretch, but in reality they blew this game in the first half when they didn’t bury the 76ers. The C’s led by as many as 18 points, but it should have been more considering [...]

The Sixers spotted the Celtics 14 points to start the game, looked like they were ready to give up on the game early, got booed off the court at halftime, ...and the Celtics let them win. Unbelievable. I mean, there were times when the Sixers couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Nothing falling for them, nothing. The Celtics had this game wrapped up with a nice bow and sitting on the...
The Boston Herald (Dan Duggan) —
Amazingly, the Celtics built their lead by three points during an ugly second quarter. The C’s went more than five minutes without a point spanning the first and second quarters, but the Sixers inept offense was unable to make up much ground. The C’s led 24-12 at the end of the first and hold a [...]
