When Celtics try to bully, it's best to push back at them

If the Raptors' loss in Boston in November wasn't the low point of their season so far - and there is lots of competition for that honour - it was a rough night for many.

Charlotte 81, Cleveland 111: Thanks to another never-was-close rout (their second win by more than 25 in three games), and the Celtics loss, the Cavaliers now own the best record in the East. If the Cavs secure home court advantage in the postseason, they definitely are going to the Finals....

Kobe Bryant or LeBron James: Toss-Up At MVP

29 Dec 2008 17:59:56 PST

Written by Alex Buda
Since it is fairly early in the season, I will take a look at the top four records in the league. You have the: Boston Celtics (.875), Cleveland Cavaliers (.867), Los Angeles Lakers (.833), and the Orlando Magic (.800). So why does LeBron James deserve MVP?

Opinion: Some Game 5 Random Thoughts

13 May 2008 17:35:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan)
Well, the Pistons have finished off the Magic in 5 games. They won on the road and they did it without Chauncey Billups. That should concern the Celtics in that they haven't been able to get it done on the road in 5 tries at full strength. Another thing that is concerning is that the Pistons are now sitting back and resting while the Celtics are going to have to go at least 6 games and possibly 7 if the Celtics can find some heart somewhere. This is assuming that the Celtics can come back and win 2 more games. I used to think that the Celtics were a lock for the Eastern Conference finals but the way they have been playing I don't know any more. Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!]

First, Reggie was on and Patrick was asking if he decided and Reggie said that he doesn't know what he is going to do yet, but he is working out hard and doing 2 a days trying to see if his body can do it. He said that it wasn't going to be like when Jordan came back where he had to play 35 minutes a night. He said that is not going to be his role on the Celtics. Patrick called him on this and said that he was talking like he was already on the team. He also admitted that if he joined the Celtics they would be the team to beat. Patrick asked him if he would be slower in green and Reggie laughed and said "Slower than I am at 42 years old?" He was asked if he had any problems with KG, Ray Allen or Pierce and he...
