There It Is

There’s not much that can be written that hasn’t been written or said somewhere over the past 12 hours about the really incredible run these Celtics have gone on. Let’s recap: this team had 24 wins last year, they didn’t get the first or second pick. If they had, who knows how good they would [...]

“End this on Father’s Day”

Paul Pierce’s words after the game. Who would’ve thought? After the first quarter down 21 points (the largest first quarter deficit in NBA Finals history by the way - looks like teams are 1-0 when trailing by more than 20 points after one in the Finals). After the Celtics rallied and then got thrown down [...]

Episode #57 Notes

In today’s episode not even the heat could slow us down. Chris and Andrew get back to it looking forward to game three and with some thoughts on the near-collapse but still win in game two: We start it off with some emails on the foul situation (C’s 38 FT attempts, Lakers 10) and why that [...]

Two Interviews to check out

Beat LA! One Down, Three to Go

Gotta love it. Very entertaining game - the subplots of Pierce going down and coming back. But the key as in almost any sport at a championship level was defense and (a little more basketball specific) rebounding. Pierce/Posey and yes Ray Allen did a tremendous second half job on Kobe. He could not get to the [...]

All Time Lakers vs. All Time Celtics

Interesting article we’ll be discussing on the Young Guns tomorrow, mostly because of the superb sources used (especially the one seven paragraphs down). Also, we discussed our all time Celtics and Lakers teams. First of all, it’s fairly incredible how good those teams would be. Second, I hate to say it, but when alls [...]

Where oh where has my Celticscast gone…

…is probably what you’re asking yourself right now. Well, I’ll tell you. Due to some personal issues on the part of your beloved hosts, we have been unable to produce a Celticscast for some time now. We won’t go into what the issues were aside to say that everything is fine, and unfortunately, they couldn’t [...]

Game Two Notes: Second Half

54-54, 8:34 3rd qtr: Didn’t take long to tie this one up. Ray hit a jumper and the C’s really came out fired up. Rondo is really wreaking havoc on the defensive side, might not be doing much offensively but a bunch of steals (ok 2) and deflections. 68-64 Pistons, 2:47 3rd qtr.: Celtics 15-4 run immediately [...]
