Who do we want in the next round? Last week I was fearful of the Knicks. Brunson was looking unstoppable. Hart and DiVincenzo are tough and shooting the 3 pretty well. And Hart's a good defende...

Tatum is currently 20 points below his career playoff FG% and 88 points below his career playoff 3 point % Is it reasonable to expect that his efficiencies will soon trend towards his playoff n...

I am getting a little bit exhausted with effort narratives. Everybody else brings it EVERY NIGHT except the Celtics. Well, the Knicks and T'Wolves got blown out recently and their fans are callin...

A week ago on First Take, Stephen A Smith had a take that I didn't agree with. But maybe, he was right, look below. First Take I believe that he was talking about this series, the Conferenc...

Just a passing thought. Yet, I sometimes wonder if players such as Anthony Davis, Kevin Durrant, and Kyrie ever wish that they had given the Celtics either a chance, or a better effort. Their ban...

We’ve all been there. You’ve put in a good shift or a good week; gotten everything done that needed doing, maybe even got a little ahead on the next day’s tasks. The boss gives you a nod, t...

Going into game 3, the same old historical problems with this Celtics team continues to haunt them in the post season. Game 2 was deja vu. Why in the world would the Celtics come out flat against...

Let's be clear, in no way am I hitting the panic button on this series, I'm far from it. The Celtics should win this series in 5 or 6 games. The concern runs deeper than an injury-hobbled Miami ...

Please, Please I'm begging you; no hero ball today. If the Celts attack from every direction and not focus on 1 player then the series is in the bag. The only real adjustment that will be necessa...

When I was watching the Women's NCAA Final I couldn't help but think about how Iowa was a high variance team and South Carolina was not. South Carolina had so much size and such a high level of t...

Now that we know that Joe Mazzulla was an Army Ranger or a Navy SEAL or just Leroy Jenkins in a previous lifetime, let's look at things he can weaponize on the Celtics (now that he can't block T...

Watching this Bulls and Heat game and it is a blood bath. The winner will most likely be decided by whoever fouls the most and gets the most non calls. Foul after foul is being ignored. Have to e...

Anybody got a theory on what happened to Caleb Martin this year? Against us in the playoffs last year, he looked like an All Star. He shot lights out. He slashed. His defense was fierce--he hound...

In an effort to glean what we as fans can expect from a First Round opponent I went back and looked at the 4th Quarter of a game from each potential, the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls. First, ...

The Celtics won't know their first-round matchup until the Bulls and Heat tangle in a win-or-go-home Play-In game on Friday evening. Still, with the remaining first round series set, we can start...
