The Good – Jeff Green has consistently played great ball for the last 7 games. And he put in another solid game tonight. He had 18 points on 5-8 shooting, hitting all 7 of his free throws. If he continues to play at this level, he will definitely be worth his 9 million a year [...]
The Good – The first half showed the Celtics in their best light. They were hitting on all cylinders, as they shot well and played amazing defense. They led by 19 at the half, and looked to be on their way to a solid win on the second game of a back-to-back.
The Bad – [...]
The Good – Rondo was on his game, scoring 22 points and extending his assist streak with 15. He seemed to be pressing in the fourth though, as he was the only one who seemed active on offense.
The Bad – The Celtics had stretches in the 4th where they showed no defensive intensity. The [...]
The Good – The Celtics showed resilience again in the 4th. After trailing by as much as 15, the Celtics were able to make a run and cut the lead down to 4 in the 4th. This was similar to the Miami game where the Celtics cut a huge deficit down to 4 in the [...]
The Good – The Celtics played their heart out for 48 minutes, but seemed to lose it half-way through the 4th (they were right there in the 4th leading 82-81 with about eight minutes in the game). Ray Allen had an awesome first half scoring and ended up with 15 points and 3 3-pointers. Rondo [...]
The Good – The Celtics are the most resilient team in the NBA. After every analyst chose the Heat to win this series in 5 or 6 games, the Celtics were in the new position as favorites to win Game 6. This seemed slightly off to me and probably the Celtics themselves to be [...]
Rajon has the nerve to hit D-Wade’s hand with his face
The Good – Rajon Rondo had a game for the ages as he scored a career best 44 points and played an iron man 53 minutes. He wasn’t just showing off his driving skills, as a lot of his [...]
The Good – The 2nd quarter was the best quarter of basketball that the Celtics (and maybe any team) has played in the playoffs. The Celtics scored 35 points and looked fluid on offense as Rondo was distributing the ball and KG was nailing open J’s. The Heat went into the quarter with a 10 [...]
The Good – As much as people might feel the tendency to jump off the bandwagon after this game, they shouldn’t. The Celtics have a horrible record of 2-11 when trying to closeout away from home in the Big 3 era. This game was actually predicted to be a loss by a lot of analysts [...]
The Good – The first half was what was expected for the Celtics, as they led by 15. They were aggressive and shot well and basically had Celtics’ fans thinking about the Conference Finals. Unfortunately they didn’t maintain that play.
The Bad – The second half shooting. There were two stretches of horrible shooting for [...]
