Being a Celtic fan, let's not blame the injuries for the our loss to LA last June, it comes with the game. The momentum was on our side, we could have finish off the Lakers in 5 if not for Fisher's game 3 heroics. Let's all just hope that Boston could stay healthy and if we could make a return trip to the finals they can annex "Banner 18" to the rafters. Cheers.
With respect to your opinion Vito, the Big 3 of Pierce, Allen and Garnett are aging "yes" but they are still tough to beat on any given night. You don't see this formula working all the time, each one is sacrificing personal stats just wanting to win for the team.
The LA team of 69 was very confident of beating Boston in the finals because of an aging team lead by Russel but as history would have had it LA lost to Boston in 6 and what better place to win it all (LA Forum).
The Celtics are done with frustration, since the loss of no.2 pick Len Bias in 86 up to the retirement of Bird, Mchale and Parish, the forgetful years of 92 to 2006. It's time for the Celtics to move on and continue the tradition of winning.
Excuses and more excuses... Only losers make excuses... Same can be said in 2008 with Andrew Bynum... Of course Phil Jackson didn't complained about it...
pag-galing ni perkins finals na dapat para healthy lahat. hehe
celtics is the better team than the lakers IMO.
Agree with your opinion Archie, the Celtics are a better team - - - "for now", because we have 17 world titles versus 16 (LA has 11) 5 of them were won when the franchise was still located at Minneapolis. Boston holds the record against the Lakers in finals matches 8 - 3. Again these are just figures that will be broken or extended.
si kobe ang nauna kayang magsalita.. (2007-2008 Finals)he said that the finals' story would have changed if bynum was there..
akala ko nga champs na ulit nung last season.. tinambakan na eh.. naging bato pa.. hindi na nakaka-convert ang celts nun.. sinadya kasi ni bynum ma-injure si Perk eh!! hahahahaha.. jowk lang..
pero ngayon tingin ko.. battle of the big men in the paint na lang ito pagdating sa playoffs at finals.. everybody should be healthy comes playoffs and for the finals...
go for the 18th title!!!
Doc Rivers and the Celtics spoils George Carl's chance to bag his 1,000th carreer win..
Celtics stretching their winning streak!!
GO CELTICS!! as for now.. GO CLIPPERS naman!! talunin niyo LAKERS!! hahahaha..![]()
The best thing to do is play the starting 5 then let the reserves in and try to preserve the lead, if the game is clearly won, then let the reserves finish the game. Let's all hope West, Perkins and Jermaine are ready to go by playoff time.
Go for 18. "Ubuntu"
Garnett for the win! as the celtics beat the sixers 102-101.. 9 game winning streak for the celtics!..
GO BOSTON!
with a little over 4 mins left in the 4th, Celtics lead 82-57 over the Bobcats, if they win, it will be win no. 10 in a row, second to Dallas 11 game winning streak, longest in the NBA this season.
11th winning streak!!!
celtics were able to fend off knicks at Madison Square Garden.. Though Celtics had a slow start, but Celtics were able to gain their balance later in the 4th quarter and Pierce's Heroic moves for the closing minutes helped the Celtics to extend their winning streak to 11..
celtics played without S. O'neal, J. O'neal and K. Perkins and that forced them to let Semih Erden to be in the stating line-up to be their Center.. And Semih really showed a good game of his own.. A little more iprovement to Semih and he can be a Center Star for the Celts..
ALRIGHT!! MORE WINS TO COME CELTICS!! GO GO GO!!![]()
Hat's off to the Knicks, Stoudemire, Gallinari and Felton gave the Celtics their best shot, but the better team won. The Celtics own the second best record in the league behind the Spurs. It's Atlanta at Boston tomorrow night.
