Posted in Even When Sporting A Suit, Shaq’s Still Rocking The Sneakers Celtics coach Doc Rivers had his club go through a “skeleton” practice Thursday, a session which warrants no contact but would demand Shaquille O’Neal to run at full speed. “That’ll be good for him,” Rivers told CSNNE.com. “Full speed, no contact is probably the best [...]

Celtic Pride: Two Celtics Make Top 10 All-Time NBA Playoff Performers List
Larry Legend Takes #10 #10 Larry Bird — 23.76 PPG, 21.41 PER, 24.83 WS, 3 Championships: Anchoring the league’s most formidable frontline, Bird exemplified leadership and that Celtics grit established by Bill Russell.

Celtics crush Knicks 113-96; Rondo, Pierce, Allen dominate, but bench struggles again
The Celtics dealt the knockout blow last night. The Knicks looked like crap. Carmelo wasn’t feeling it, Billups was out and with Stoudemire clearly playing hurt, the Knicks were forced to look to Jared Jeffries, Bill Walker and Shawne Williams more than any serious playoff team should. Now, Amar’e is basically saying he shouldn’t [...]
Allen, Pierce Connect For 70 In Celtics 113-96 Shellacking Of Knicks
National Basketball Association: Where “It Was Over Before It Started” Happens The MSG scoreboard before the opening tip says the Knicks had a chance – I beg to differ, they never did. “He Got Game” (Ray Allen) was on fire. They (Knicks) couldn’t handle “The Truth” (Paul Pierce). And finally, they (anyone who tried to [...]
Celtics win game 2, but Jeff Green/bench concerns remain.
The Celtics won game two against the New York Knicks last night, to take a 2-0 lead, but you would never know it in Boston.

Jermaine O’Neal dominates first playoff game; gives the Celtics hope.
Ray Allen may have been the Celtics’ hero Sunday night, but Jermaine O’Neal was the MVP. With the post-season approaching, Danny Ainge said they would need at least one O’Neal to win the championship, but most doubted the validity of that statement, pronouncing the Celtics dead unless Shaq can play. Fortunately it’s looking like Shaq [...]
Can the Celtics recover for the postseason?
When the Celtics were dominated by the Bulls everyone started to panic. Rose just destroyed the Celtics’ defense, while Chicago’s defense, led by the tenacious Joakim Noah, made the Celtics look old, and ill-prepared to handle another championship run. Sound familiar? It should, because that’s what Celtics news outlets, blogs and fans have been worrying [...]
Victory Cigar: Celtics Sweep Knicks In Convincing Fashion 101-89
Let “The Truth” Be Told: These Celtics Mean Business 4 Down, 12 More To Go. Next Up: Heat. Who said the Celtics were missing something? I’m still trying to figure out what that something is that they’re missing. Following Boston’s sweep of the New York Knicks, it was left up to their floor general and [...]
