The Three-Pointer: No such thing as an easy mark for Celtics
02/06/10 12:24 EST
The Celtics should have known you can’t read into a record. After all, this is the same team that just a few years ago, at one of the low points of the franchise’s existence, stunned the Spurs on the road to “improve” to 20-46. On Friday, the Nets came into Boston with the same intensity that the Celtics carried into San Antonio four seasons ago. New Jersey shot a startling 63 percent from the field in the first half (this is the same team that ranks last in the league by shooting 42 percent from the floor), and had a one-point lead going into the fourth quarter. It wasn’t until the final 12 minutes that the Celtics kicked into high gear and went on a run to claim a 96-87 victory (recap) and hand the Nets their 45th loss of the season. “I don’t know what it was. I mean, we just didn’t play well in the first half,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “I thought it was a game that we thought that we could just outscore them, and

Hurtin for certain: Breaking down the impact of the C's injuries
02/03/10 01:16 EST
SPONSORED LINKS
Add Paul Pierce’s strained left foot to a laundry list of injuries faced by the Celtics this season. The C’s have been battling broken bones, sprains, surgeries, and soreness since the start of the season. Tony Allen, Glen Davis, Brian Scalabrine and Bill Walker began the season on the sidelines. And the injuries extended beyond the bench — Kevin Garnett was still working his way back on to the court after undergoing knee surgery last year. This season, there has been a theme of playing past the pain. As of Tuesday night, the Celtics have missed nearly 110 games due to injuries, and that number will continue to rise: Pierce is listed as day-to-day and Marquis Daniels is still rehabbing from thumb surgery. Here’s how injuries have affected the C’s this season: Tony Allen (21 games missed): Allen underwent right ankle surgery in June and made an unexpected return on October 9 for preseason action against the Knicks. He played eight minutes and

The Three-Pointer: Team effort snaps skid
02/02/10 12:18 EST
First, the good news for Celtics fans — the C’s snapped a three-game skid with a 99-88 win over the Wizards Monday night in Washington, D.C. Now, the better news — Paul Pierce expects to be OK. Wait, could there really have been more injuries on a team that has been riddled by them all season? It seemed that way early on. In a game that the Celtics needed to win, there was a brief moment in the first quarter when the injury bug reared its ugly head. Pierce tweaked his left foot when he and Caron Butler fell to the ground chasing after a loose ball. Pierce came up limping and temporarily left the game to receive medical attention. Once Pierce came back in the second, he collided with Butler again. This time both players lay on the court for a few moments before Pierce ran off with a hobble. He would play 28 minutes but only score 12 points, just one after the initial spill. Pierce will undergo X-rays on Tuesday. As he told reporters after the game, he

Battle continues between Pierce, Artest
01/31/10 08:23 EST
For all intents and purposes, it was a preseason game with little significance. The Celtics were fresh off their 17th NBA championship and were taking on the Rockets in New Hampshire. It was one of those nights when J.R. Giddens and Bill Walker were likely to play more minutes than Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. Yet, Paul Pierce was pumped up. Weeks before the 2009 regular season kicked off, this was a matchup he was looking forward to. But at some point before the game, Pierce was led to believe that he’d be scratched from the lineup. He wanted to take the court. This wasn’t just any exhibition game for him. This was against one of his biggest rivals. “I always want to play against Ron Artest,” Pierce said at the time. “I think we both bring out the best in each other. I think he’s the best perimeter defender in the league.” Over the years Pierce and Artest have been involved in heated battles, both during the regular season and in
