Celtics Title Town

• I have pointed out before that the Celtics need the trio of KG/Bass/JO to score 35 or more points for the Celtics to win. KG with 17, Bass with 13, and JO with 8. A lovely total of 38 points.
  
• Pietrus and Bass duo scoring 27 points. Pietrus played 35 minutes because of Ray Allen, but it'...

The Celtics could have won this game. Some stats tell the story of tonights breakdown to the Thunder.

• The Celtics out rebounded the Thunder 48-40, and that's a solid building block for the Celtics. Yes we lost the game, but the Thunder are young, and athletic up front. ...

• Rebounding one of the top issues this season, and in  years past wasn't a major concern last night, or at least untill  the Pacers started to pull away.
  
• Celtics lost boards 52-45.
• The Cetics had solid defense, and ...

• Paul Pierce 3-12 from the field. Paul is not Paul yet. His timing is off, and he's still out of game shape.
  
• The Bulls shot 21 free throws, compared to the Celtics 13. The Bulls took the ball to the hoop, and they got the calls.
  
• Rondo 4 s...

• Dooling  had 4 turnonvers, and he's got to take care of the basketball. I don't believe in blaming the bench, but Dooling does need to take care of the ball.
  
• Paul Pierce,and Ray Allen scored 16 points, and that will never cut it for the Celtics. They shot a combined 5/13 from the field. For t...

The biggest number to discuss is the 25 points scored by the Celtics in the first half. Tied for worst in Celtics history with the 95' team.

• I think everyone knows the Celtics lost the boards 47-36. The Celtics gave up 14 offensive rebounds. I have no clue how the Celtics fix this. I don't know what it is. KG was a great re...

It wasn't a pretty first half,and it was worrisome to be honest,but the Celtics got it together.

• The Celtics won the battle of the boards 45-34,and they should of won the boards Wednesday night with no Lopez,and Humphries. Garnett had 12 boards(season high)...

The Celtics won their first fourth quarter of the season. The defense looked solid,and Ray was a machine from behind the three-point line.

• Rondo had 7 turnovers,but the number isn't the story. I would say 4 of those were missed by his teammates. The Celtics...

The Celtics found their defensive groove,but was it overwhelming in the stats?

• Rebounding is still an issue with the Celtics,and I will never get over it as a fan. I look at that stat right away. I'm not over it because of the 2010 NBA finals. Game seven to be exact. The Celtics won't win a title if they...

The Celtics have hung their hat on defense for the past four seasons,but the Celtics look off on defense,and they actually used a zone Tuesday night against Miami. The Celtics at this point are giving up around 106 points a night. The Celtics in the past four seasons have been around 92-93 points given up a night. It's clear so...
