Paul Pierce will have his number retired, and who knows. Maybe he'll comeback for one season on a cheap deal to walk away from the team, and fans that loved him for over 15 years. Paul has made a mark all over the Celtics record book. Thankfully in 2008 he got the biggest monkey off of his back with a NBA Championship and Finals MVP. So where ...

The Celtics have been one or two most seasons since 2007-08. They have been in the top ten for some times now, and they have improved in opponents points per game.

The Celtics and Heat usually play grind out games in the 80's or so. With shooting percent...

Key stats:

• The Celtics shot an amazing 66.7% from three-point land. That won't happen every game, but it's nice to see. AB seems to be finding the range as of late. He struggled with his corner three for awhile, but his confidence, ...

On Tuesday, the Celtics finished 27-of-66 shooting (40.9 percent) and mustered a mere 28 second-half points (although much of the fourth quarter featured a lineup with the Chinese...

Jeff Green has become the player that many of us had hoped for. It's just seven games, but he seems light years ahead right now. In the past seven  games he's averaging 14 points. His defense has been highly visible. He's averaging a shade over one block a game, and these are monster blocks that seem to lead to something big. One part of Green's game that I wish would show up i...

Paul Pierce rebounding like a pro

The Celtics are riding high on a five game winning streak. During the winning streak Paul Pierce has averaged 10 rebounds, and he had a high of 13 boards against Miami. Paul averages 6.1 boards a game through 47 games. The Celtics are 5-2 when Pierce grabs 10 or more rebounds. Pierce has de...

The Celtics defense has improved, and the Celtics points off turnovers has improved greatly. Through the first 43 games the Celtics rank 20th in points off turnovers. Since Rondo's  season ended the Celtics have been the 4th best team scoring off of turnovers. Those numbers are from ESPN Boston.

With the Celtics moving the ball more, and with the easy po...

Rondo's assist streak ended when he was ejected against the Nets. During that process Rondo had two 20 assist games, and he had a few 15, and 16 assist games. In Rondo's last ten games he's averaged 8 helpers, but his scoring hasn't changed one bit. His minutes are down a bit, and he's been losing minutes since the bench has been performing out of this world...

ESPN posted a few articles that showed the Celtics foul percentages.

Rondo already beaten Stockton for most games in a row with 11 or more assists in a game. Rondo beat the streak when he recorded 28 games in a row. Sunday Rondo tied Stockton with 37 games in a row with 10 or more assists. Rondo has Magic on his radar, and he's got another 9 games left to nail  that  record. Does Rondo have any other records to address?

After watching last night's game against the Spurs. I think Gortat sounds pretty good right about now. I don't know what it will take for the Celtics to start rebounding. Is it simply just blocking your man out. Something even youngsters learn in youth hoops. The Celtics simply can't rebound worth a lick. I honestly believe that the Cel...

It was hard to watch Thursday night when the Nets grabbed 15 offensive rebounds in the first half in Brooklyn. The Celtics fixed the issue, and limited the Nets to just 3 in the second half. The Nets, and Jazz grabbed a total of 18 offensive rebounds each.

One of the hot topics so far this season has been the bench production. The expectations are extremely high for this years bench that's supposed to aid the Big Three in the quest for banner 18. Last years bench had a bunch of misfits that overachieved. We fell in love with guys like Dooling, and Pietrus. The Celtics lost two of their best be...

I watched the Celtics broadcast on the Yes network lSaturday night when the C's, and Knicks squared off. I didn't watch the Celtics by  choice on the Yes network, but during that broadcast I had to listen to Walt Frazier, and his partner speak about Rondo as if he was a second hand player. All they harped on was his jumper. They sh...

The Celtics played very well in the second game overseas, but in the first game across the ocean. The Celtics gave up 97 points, which is 8 points higher than their 89 points allowed in 2011-12. The Celtics put on the clamps holding Armani to 75 points in the second game, and the defense came around overall, because the Celtics held Armani to 31% shooting. C...

This is a post that I do during the season after games. For the next week or so. I will cover the Atlantic division, and how the Celtics match up against their Atlantic foes.Today I will cover the Wizards by the numbers.
