celtics duringthoughts – gsw @ bos

I can’t seem to work up the energy to post my “afterthoughts” after games anymore, so I’m going to attempt to blog during the game — hence the assinine new heading, ”duringthoughts.”
1st quarter thoughts:

I had no idea that Mikki Moore had landed with Golden State. When I realized it before the game, I immediately liked our [...]

Heinsohn honored with lifetime achievement award

Tommy’s finally getting some “tommy points” of recognition for himself. Congratulations Tommy!
From ESPN:
Tommy Heinsohn, who coached the Boston Celtics to two NBA titles after his Hall of Fame playing career, will be honored with the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award. [...]
“I’m honored by this recognition,” Heinsohn said in a statement. “Chuck Daly was a man [...]

celtics afterthoughts: come back kg, come back

Celtics @ Milwaukee 77-86
The Celtics tend to suck it up Sundays at 1pm. They seem to really need to stay on their schedule and the games that step out of that really don’t work for them. Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s home or away. Our offense looked awful. Actually it’s looked pretty awful to [...]

celtics afterthoughts: highs and lows

Celtics v. Magic 79-86
I was cooking up a stir-fry during the pre-game live show on Comcast and when I heard that Rondo was out, I almost chopped my finger off with the Ginsu. Actually, I was ok until they said Marbury was starting. Wha wha what? Marbury is starting? Why? The guy has only played [...]

celtics afterthoughts: win some, lose some

Celtics @ Mavs 99-92
It’s awesome to see Leon playing well. Awesome for the team and awesome for me because I love watching him play. Paul friggin Pierce. What more can you say? When he’s on, he’s on. Classic. Rondo was no chump himself with that triple-dub. That being said, I hated watching this game. It [...]

celtics afterthoughts: oh chemistry, whereart thou?

Celtics v. Wizards 108-83
I finally got League Pass. I called Comcast to get it on the tube and was informed that they don’t offer it in my area. I freaked out at first. I moved about a 1/2 hour outside the city, but didn’t think it was so far away that I wouldn’t get LP. [...]

celtics afterthoughts: tommy issues a bounty

Celtics v. Knicks 124-105
Run ‘n Gun is quasi comical to watch. Run down the court, jack up a 3-point shot. Rinse. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. I’m not saying it’s a bad game plan for the Knicks – because it’s certainly helped them win more games – but it’s still amusing to watch sometimes. Q-Rich can play. [...]

celtics afterthoughts: leon powe is money in the bank

Celtics v. Magic 107-88
Saw this one in person at the Garden. Thoughts…

Went to the game w/my mom. She’s a pretty good C’s fan. Not obsessed like me, but watches enough to carry on a decent convo. Her favorite players are Ray Allen and Big Baby.
She bought the train tickets on her own while I was at [...]

celtics afterthoughts: tommy quotes me (ha!)

Celtics v. Knicks 110-101
Technically this isn’t an afterthought because I’m watching the game right now, but what-ev. I feel the need to relay that after a successful bucket by Leon Powe, Tommy Heinsohn just declared, “That’s money in the bank right there!!” YES! SCORE! I knew the nickname would catch on… I just knew it. [...]
