With the Celtics, Pats, and Red Sox doing so well, Bill Simmons has become unbearable to read. He never shuts the fuck up about Boston sports and is extremely arrogant. I used to really enjoy his writing. Here's to hoping all 3 go in the tank so he can go back to writing well. :wink2:

Celtics try to get back on winning track versus Warriors


(Sports Network) - The Boston Celtics got their first taste of defeat over the weekend and will try to rebound tonight versus the Golden State Warriors at TD Banknorth Garden.
Boston opened the season with eight straight wins until suffering a 104-102 loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday at Amway Arena. Paul Pierce registered a game-high 28 points and had a chance to give Boston the win, but missed a three-pointer at the end.
Ray Allen scored 19 points, Rajon Rondo had 18 and Kevin Garnett registered 14 points and a game-best 11 rebounds for the Celtics, who will try to improve on their 5-0 home mark this season. The Warriors, meanwhile, have won three in a row and will try to stay perfect on their five-game road trip this evening.

MARCUS THOMPSON II: NBA
Reconstructed Celtics are real deal

Sold on the Boston Celtics yet? You should be.


Doubters had a pretty solid leg to stand on at first. Sure, the Celtics have three superstars in power forward Kevin Garnett, shooting guard Ray Allen and small forward Paul Pierce, but none had an NBA championship ring. Plus, the rest of Boston's roster leaves a lot to be desired. Such players as point guard Rajon Rondo and forward Brian Scalabrine didn't seem like much of a supporting cast.
Less than a month into the season, however, the Celtics have already proved their validity as a contender. Opening the season with eight straight victories was a coming out party if there ever were one -- especially with their victims including Denver and Atlantic Division foes Toronto and New Jersey (twice). Barring injury, this team will be among the league's elite by season's end.

Beat L.A.

378d.jpg


The Lakers-Celtics Rivalry or Celtics-Lakers Rivalry was a rivalry between two of the most storied professional basketball franchises in National Basketball Association history, the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. The rivalry has been less intense since the retirements of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in the early 1990s. As it stands, the Celtics lead in total championships with 16 to the Lakers' 14 and the Celtics being the only team with a positive record on the Lakers.

Garnett gets double-double as Celtics coast to win over Lakers


BOSTON (AP) -- All the indications of the 1980s were there: The Celtics and Lakers on the parquet, a full house chanting "Beat L.A.!" and even a clip of an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie on the scoreboard.
The real Schwarzenegger was sitting courtside on Friday night watching Boston and Los Angeles renew their rivalry -- one of the perks of being governor of California. And the NBA's fiercest foes from the '80s showed that they have a chance for a pretty good second act, too.

And another, buzzer beater this time... Celtics link

Trailing 95-93 with 4.7 seconds remaining, and with the Bobcats inbounding the ball, it looked as though the Celtics would lose just their second game of the season.
Instead, Eddie House deflected the inbounds pass which landed in the hands of Paul Pierce. Pierce alertly swung the ball over to Ray Allen who hit a 3-pointer as time expired to give the Celtics a thrilling win in Charlotte.

Allen's game winner helps Celtics improve to 11-1


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Ray Allen made a 3-pointer at the buzzer after Eddie House knocked away Jason Richardson's inbounds pass with 4.7 seconds left to give the Boston Celtics a 96-95 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night.
Allen had missed 11 of his previous 14 shots in a flat performance for the Celtics, yet hit nothing but net on the jumper from the left wing, setting off a wild celebration for the Celtics, who won their third straight game and improved to 11-1.

A team even an enemy fan can love

I hate the Celtics. I hate the green. I hate Bill Russell's mannered little goatee. I hate Red's cigar. I hate Bird's mullet. I hate the leprechaun. I hate the stupid floor. I hate Don Nelson and his lucky bounce. I hate M.L. Carr and his towel. And I hate Danny Ainge and his pout most of all.

Things started off innocently enough. I saw the "Big Three" on the cover of Sports Illustrated and ESPN The Magazine and wanted to hurl. I heard the giddy preseason predictions of a return to Boston glory and wanted to laugh. Things as they ever were. My house in order.
Then on Friday, Nov. 9, in a hotel bar in Berkeley, Calif., I caught the tail end of their 23-point dismantling of Atlanta, a night when Kevin Garnett went for 27 points, 19 rebounds, six assists and three blocks, and was still jumping and running hard, and dunking with a nasty grin, eight minutes into the fourth quarter, and I thought to myself, against the grain of everything I can ever remember thinking before: The Celtics are fun.
And the more I watch, the more troubling my thoughts have become. The Celtics play passionate ball, I think. They play move-the-ball ball, I admit. They're aggressive to the hole. They defend. They play as if every game matters. They play all four quarters. Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen -- the three-headed monster -- seem, in everything they do, to realize that they've been given this wildly improbable, incredibly rare gift from the basketball gods, and they seem, in everything they've done so far, determined not to anger the gods, not to piss this great good fortune away.
