I was unable to make it to Waltham today, but here are a couple updates.
Paul Pierce tells The Globe that Boston’s second-half defensive effort will carry over to Friday night’s matchup with the Bulls.
There’s some good audio over at Perk is a Beast.
Some leftovers: Ian Thomsen’s piece on opening night. Good reading. As is Paul [...]

For the younger readers in the Merrimack Valley and beyond, I recently got this release from Comcast. It might be worth a shot:
Have you ever dreamed of covering a big league game? What about covering the reigning NBA Champions? Comcast SportsNet, in partnership with Comcast, is offering the opportunity of a lifetime to any middle [...]
It’s one game in, but we learned something about the Celtics last night. Even the most worthy distractions are no match for them (so far).
Pomp and circumstance played tricks on ‘em early, but it didn’t end up mattering.
“Guys were over pumped up,” center Kendrick Perkins said.
Then, they turned it on, once again stifling an opponent. [...]
A lineup of Leon Powe, Eddie House, Ray Allen, Tony Allen and Glen Davis might not strike fear in the hearts of NBA teams, but it’s doing the trick right now.
At 8:48 in the third, Powe’s dunk put the Celtics up 76-68. That capped a 9-3 run.
Tony Allen has nine points, and nearly converted two [...]
Cavs 50, Celts 43 at the half. The score from “The Dark Knight” is playing. OMINOUS.
LeBron James is the NBA’s version of the tumbler Bat Mobile from the movie (NOTE: A friend just pointed out that Boobie Gibson has the Batman logo shaved into his head). Scary big and scary fast. He has [...]
After one, it’s Cavs 28, Celtics 22.
Boston seems to be coming alive after falling behind by double digits early.
Leon Powe and Kendrick Perkins helped keep ‘em in it, cleaning up on the glass. Perkins had four boards in the first.
LeBron was his usual self, contributing six points and four assists. He also added a thunderous [...]
Paul Pierce just addressed the crowd. In his version of an Oscar speech, he thanked everybody in his life, including his mom, brothers, Scot Pollard (for the 6 a.m. workouts at Kansas) and last but not least, Red Auerbach.
Short and sweet.
Finally, tipoff.
Sure Paul Pierce picked up his ring to chants of “MVP”, but Scot Pollard looked the most stylish, sporting a gray suit. He may be out of a job, but he can dress.
Seriously, Pierce was the most interesting to watch pick up his ring. He looked like he was in a haze, sorta overwhelmed by [...]
Gotta give this crowd credit. A “Let’s go Celtics!” chant 15 minutes before the festivities even began.
Ayla Brown just belted out a great rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. The Otis Air National Guard Honor Guard presented the colors.
A pretty sweet tribute video, which began with a Red Auerbach interview, just played on the JumboTron.
The [...]
The Cavs will not be joining the Celtics during the ring ceremony. It’s not exactly a controversial decision, but hey, this is the pregame.
“First of all it’s long,” a sympathetic Doc Rivers said. “Secondly, they’re giving us what (the Cavs) want. So yeah, I have no problem with that at all. I agree with LeBron [...]
