The Good – Rondo came up with his best stretch of the playoffs so far right after Pierce fouled out with 4 minutes to go. It looked like the offense might have to go through just KG, but Rondo took over the scoring responsibilities by getting 9 points in those final 4 minutes. He hit [...]
Back in 1981, Larry Bird still didn’t have the first name “legend” and Julius Erving was on top of his game. The Celtics started the series down 3-1, basically a death sentence in the NBA playoffs. But Bird brought the team back from the dead, and led the Celtics to a Conference Finals win, and [...]

And all [...]
On Monday the Celtics lost home-court advantage to the Sixers by playing one of their ugliest games of the year (the 2nd and 3rd quarters were as bad a viewable experience as watching Shaq doing his analysis on TNT). But the good thing about a playoff series is that its momentum can change after a [...]
The Good – It seems that Michael Pietrus and Ray Allen came out of their shooting slumps as they were each able to hit 2 3-pointers. The Celtics will need them to continue to shoot well if KG continues to get double and triple teamed.
The Bad – The refs were good most of the [...]
