Celtics had a decent effort but fell to the hungry Bucks.
So the Celtics lost last night against a surging Bucks team who were favored by 1-½ points.I found that kind of disturbing but then I thought it made sense with the Bucks winning 15 out 19 games before last night.
But what a game it was, like Mike Gorman said it felt like a playoff game.
And if I am correct, neither team led the game by more than 8 points.
But sadly, this was a MUST win game for the C’s that just fell short.
Pierce 3-13
KG 7-13
Allen 0-3
Rondo 6-10
Robinson 2-5
The Bucks outscored the Celts 22-16.
Although they lost by two, and had plenty of opportunities with Buck turnovers and missed shots I can’t be maI thought they played well.
This Bucks team looks ready and extremely hungry for the playoffs. Can you blame them?
Nate Dogg Robinson had two great 3 pointers and that was it? Ugh!
I understand that Nate is faster then Eddie House and can move around better but I am still uncertain about the trade.
Ok, so it’s been a while since I have written about the Celtics, but what has been going on lately is just terrible.
I need to get some things off my chest.
Now before I dig in, I’d like to say that I’m 27 years old and have been a C’s fan all my life. I’ve been going to games with my sister since the early 90’s and sat through the “Youth Movement Year” with tickets that were given to me.
I’ve seen the Eric Montross’s, Eric Williams, Gerald Green’s, and Kenny Anderson’s of the world come and go.
I’d like to first start off by advising the “pink hats” on the bandwagon to get off safely because Guru from Gang Starr said it best “Read. Study lessons, build your inner power, cause the next level doesn’t tolerate cowards.” If not we’re just going to kick your complaining ass off anyway!
Never have I heard so much booing during games when the team is down 10 and needs that confidence from the crowd! It makes me want to puke when I see people leaving in the 4th quarter because they are down by a few points! Most of you people that due leave usually have great seats and make the area look dreadful with all the empty seats on television! If you turned on the game and saw that, you would of thought they were getting blow out by 30! You know those people in the nosebleeds were envious of your seats in the beginning, but had to want to slap you for the chuck of empty in the fourth! I know if I was at the game I would have been disgusted, tickets are expensive enough especially with economy.
As some one that started writing about the Celtics as a way of occupying myself during a health imposed layoff, it was easy to say what was on your mind when no one was reading your opinions. When North Station Sports was launched, in the spring of 2009, it was named The Boston Celtics News Station. Back then we only received 10 reads per day and I am pretty sure 8 of those reads were from friends and family. I guess back then I was a bit more controversial in my opinions stated on the site. Through the summer of 2009, as readership quickly spiked, I added writers and watched the developing personality of North Station Sports.
With a growing readership that spanned the globe, the responsibility to my readers for a non-speculative, fact-based writing transformed into taking the safe PC route of the truly opinionated. NSS writers Calvin, Lee and Shawn have produced some controversial pieces but not me. I have sat back and let the personality of the site take shape.
Just as the Celtics “issues” need to stop today, my PC writing is total bull. I am going to lay my opinion out for readers no matter how pissed off it makes them or how upset the harsh reality of it makes me feel to put it in print…
On February 12, 2010, I can honestly say that the Boston Celtics suck!
Yes, I said it. Their are major problems brewing in Beantown and no one in the “Celtics-family” is willing to admit it.
BSB will be held on Sunday, March 28th at Jerry Remy's at Fenway.
An idea is just that unless others share your passion for the concept. Well the Boston Sports Blogapalooza(BSB) Express is rolling down the tracks and people are jumping on board.
BSB has only been on the drawing board for about two weeks and everything is coming together beyond my expectations.
My idea to put together a tweet up for Bruins fans morphed into something even bigger. I thought to myself, why not get all the Boston sports bloggers together in one place?
These Social Media Outlets for Sports (bloggers) can finally meet, trade social media tips, and talk shop in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Then I thought why not incorporate the Boston media, local companies, and music.
Media of both types (social and traditional) could mingle and discuss all the hot topics on the Boston Sports Scene.
Local companies could network with bloggers about their products and services. Partnerships between these companies and social media outlets would be agreed upon right at the event.
Bloggers can help promote and build a buzz about their partners’ offerings.
In return, bloggers would generate revenue through these cross promotions.
It started as a Bruins tweet-up but has morphed to something bigger. Much bigger.
I am relatively new to the Boston sports blogging scene, I have been writing for Boston Sports Then And Now for six months. Writing is an untapped passion I never knew I had.
I have met a lot of great people via Twitter, who write about the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics, Breakers, and Patriots. All of these bloggers write with passion and great dedication to their favorite team(s). Boston Sports bloggers are a tightly knit community and I can proudly say I have been accepted with open arms.
But, how do I get all of these Boston Sports Social Media Outlets (that’s what bloggers are folks!) in one place? Then it came to me in a vision!
Boston Sports Blogapalooza!
My event marketing background kicked in full throttle and the rest is history.
Why not organize an event where bloggers can meet, network, share social media ideas, and of course talk sports? Oh did I mention drinks and music too?
BSB will also provide a venue for Boston sports bloggers to meet local sports media members. Share your thoughts and opinions with the media bloggers, beat reporters, and radio show hosts in person! It’s all about networking folks and in a fun laid back atmosphere (no suits and resumes required!)
What can be better than spending an afternoon talking sports?
Their are few professional sports team’s that can boast the mystique and winning ways of the Boston Celtics. Since the franchise’s first title in 1957, the Boston Celtics have won 32 percent of the NBA championships. Prior to their 22 season championship drought, the Celtics had compiled 16 championships in 32 seasons, 55 percent of the championships from 1957 to 1986. The Celtics currently have 22 retired jersey numbers retired,15 players and 5 coaches enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
#5-Cleveland Cavs
The Boston Celtics dominated the first half century of NBA history. It’s not a surprise that as team’s tried to get by the mighty Celtics year after year, some of the league’s greatest rivalries were born. Here are five of my favorite match-ups.
#5-Cleveland Cavaliers
Though this rivalry is in it’s infancy, it is worth mentioning as today’s top Eastern Conference rivalry. They have only met once in the NBA playoffs once since Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined the Celtics.
2008’s seven game series in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, went the distance and LeBron James and Paul Pierce match each other shot for shot in game seven. The Celtics would pull out a win as the game went down to the wire.
Though the team’s have not met again (yet) in the post-season, their regular season match-ups have been exciting and drama filled as the two team’s hatred for each other is reminiscent of the bitter Celtics/Pistons and Celtics/Lakers of past generations.
Though this rivalry does not possess the historical references of the match-up’s higher up on the list, the drama and tension that mounts when the two square off is rarely matched in today’s NBA.
We honor Dwight Evans as the Boston Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month. With the opening of the baseball season around the corner, the choice of “Dewey” Evans is fitting. He was a player who gave his all, all the time to the Boston Red Sox where he played from 1972 to 1990. He is one of the best players not in the Baseball Hall Of Fame.
Dwight Michael Evans made an immediate impact in his professional baseball career by winning the International League’s MVP in 1972. With AAA Louisville, Evans had 17 hrs, 95 RBI and hit .300.
Dewey was called up to the tail end of the ’72 season. On September 16th, he pinch ran and was 0-1 at the plate. He played 18 games and decent numbers during his call up. In 57 plate appearances, Evans had 1 hr, 6 RBI and batted .263.
Dwight Evans called right field in Fenway Park his home. He was a defensive standout and offensively could hold his own.
