With 6:50 remaining in the second quarter, the Celtics are up 56-31. ZZZZZZZZ………. Their jumpers are falling. And hey, Nomar Garciaparra’s in the house! Stop the presses! Pathetic showing by the Mavs so far. They look ready for bed.

The Celtics are ON FIRE here at the Garden. They shot 66.7 percent in the first quarter and built a 38-23 lead. Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen each scored 11 points. Once again, Rajon Rondo is quietly controlling the tempo. Time and again in the first, he hit open shooters, who haven’t missed much. Rondo [...]
Anyone who says this guy is losing it as a player is crazy. Kevin Garnett just made a layup, stole an inbound pass from Dirk Nowitski, unsuccessfully tried to dunk, got fouled by Nowitski, made the first free throw, missed the second, Rajon Rondo grabbed the rebound, who dished back to Garnett, who then drained [...]
Neither team has been able to separate itself so far. Paul Pierce has five points (2 for 3) and Boston’s up 13-12 with 5:41 remaining.
“Man it’s so cold.” Mavs point guard Jose Barea — who starred at Northeastern — isn’t exactly liking the winter weather. Or maybe he’s just not that excited for what he’s about to face. The once-struggling C’s are on a seven-game win streak. “They’re certainly back now,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. Not much going [...]
Yeah yeah it’s a regular season game. But tonight’s Celtics-Magic matchup could be a great one. This guy thinks so. Will Stan Van Gundy hear a few boos tonight? This is what he told the Orlando Sentinel today: “If this were the BCS, I’d have to be lobbying,” he said. “In the BCS, an undefeated [...]
In honor of Eddie House’s 25-point performance, here is a tribute. See you later this morning…
Five straight wins, and the Celtics look like the team we’ve gotten to know over the past year and a half. Even Steve Nash sounded flustered Monday night. From the Arizona Republic. BOSTON – The Suns could not avoid error. Judgment was askew. They moved like they were lost and could not identify situations to [...]
“It was a good night to get our rhythm back,” Eddie House said. Astute fellow, that E House, who scored 10 points and rolled his ankle (he says it’s fine). A textbook victory, no doubt. Let’s see. New Jersey shot 38.8 percent and scored only 86 points. Boston shot 56.4 percent and made 13 steals. [...]
The locker room was predictably chatty afterward. Brian Scalabrine laughed at his stat line (27.5 minutes, 3 for 8, 9 points) and compared it to his slightly more high profile teammate. “I shot the same as Ray!” Well not quite. Ray Allen had 12 on 5 of 8 from the field. It’s not like the [...]
