The Celtics won the best-of-seven series, 4-2. It’s their first title in 22 years.
Paul Pierce, who averaged more than 21 points per game, was named MVP of the finals. He scored 17 points in Boston’s 39-point win, which surpassed [...]

Após 22 anos de espera, o Boston Celtics volta a ser campeão da NBA. O décimo sétimo título da equipe veio após o massacre sobre o Los Angeles Lakers por 131 x 92, fechando a série final em quatro jogos a dois. Mais do que nunca o Celtics se firma como o maior vencedor da [...]
The Celtics ended the Lakers’ hope of a game seven. The Celtics were unstoppable. I really wanted the Lakers to win but I think they were destined to lose game six. Even the Celtics’ bench killed their offense and defense. Kobe and the Lakers cannot do anything to stop the Celtics’ Three-pointers. As i was [...]
The Leprechaun was back in Boston Tuesday night, his first visit to the “New Garden“. The magical sprite who used to put the ball in the basket for the Celtics teams from 1957-1986, and would bat the ball away when the opponent tried to score, was floating around with a huge grin on his face. [...]
For the 17th time in franchise history, the Boston Celtics are NBA Champions. The 2008 Celtics brought an end to their storied franchise’s 21-year championship drought with the most lopsided closeout win in NBA Finals history on Tuesday night, blowing out the Lakers, 131-92. Leading just 32-29 midway through the second quarter, the Celtics scored [...]

BOSTON (AP) -- On a new parquet floor below aging championship banners, the Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title and a first one -- at last -- for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen -- their Big Three for a new generation.After 22 long years, the NBA has gone green.

With a 39-point margin in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the Boston Celtics proved who are the kings of the hardcourt. The final score was 131-92 with Garnett scoring 26 points with 14 rebounds, Allen contributed 26 and Pierce, added 17 points. This is the Boston Celtics’ 17th NBA Championship title.

In the end, the best player didn’t belong on the same floor as the best team. Paul Pierce spent ten long years in Boston—going through brief moments of greatness, long stretches of poor teams, a near death experience outside a Boston nightclub, Rick Pitino, Antoine Walker, and the first four years of the Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge era. Now Paul Pierce, the Celtics’ captain, is going through
In what can only be called a lopsided victory, the Boston Celtics finally received the much-coveted Larry O’Brien trophy, the 17th in franchise history. They dominated the Los Angeles Lakers in every facet of the game, and sent the latter packing unable to keep their chins up. And how could they? This is, as far as I can remember, the lousiest performance in an NBA Finals game ever. You can quot
Boston Campeon !!!!Fue paliza 131-92 En un magistral sexto juego los Celtics se coronaron campeones de la NBA y llegan a su título No. 17 en la historia. Fue toda una lesión de buen baloncesto. Paul Pierce fue elegido como el Más Valioso de las Finales. Celebra Boston.
If you read my post about the 2008 NBA finals series more than a week ago, you know that I'm a Lakers fan. In fact, I boldly predicted that my Los Angeles Lakers would win the series and take the coveted 2008 NBA championship home to LA to the delight of Jack Nicholson! Ha ha. However, my prediction was off, way off. The Lakers were soundly beaten in the series and writing a post about the Bost

Jogo 6 desta final com a possibilidade de hoje termos o novo campeão da liga caso Boston consiga vencer pois lidera a série 3-2. Tendo agora 2 jogos em casa e pelo coração que mostraram nestes 2 últimos jogos a equipa de Boston é claramente a favorita hoje, no entanto, os Lakers ainda podem ter [...]
The Lakers almost let another large lead slip away, but in Game 5 they found a way to get it done. With the Celtics on pace to pull off another miraculous comeback, Kobe Bryant swiped the ball away from Paul Pierce and finished with a two-handed slam on the other end with 37.4 seconds left [...]
Boston lidera por 3-1.
Depois de no jogo 4 Boston ter ganho por 97-91 em LA, recuperando de uma desvantagem de 24 pontos, o título está quase entregue aos Celtics.

The Lakers will be thinking about this one that got away for a long time. And they may have even more off-season time to dwell on it, as a result. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen led the charge as the Celtics erased an 18-point halftime deficit with a miraculous second-half effort in a 97-91 win [...]

I have to admit I am a Boston Celtics fan. Even more I am a Kevin Garnett fan. I still have a timberwolf jersey somewhere.
I like the Boston Celtic; I think the time is 2008. After a 2-0 I was thinking Lakers was done. Thank god Lakers win game [...]
Historically, a 3-0 series deficit in basketball has been insurmountable, so one could certainly argue that the Lakers were facing elimination on Tuesday night. Kobe Bryant – though he was calm throughout, never desperate – certainly seemed to understand the urgency. He scored a game-high 36 points as his Lakers beat the Celtics, 87-81, and [...]
I don’t normally talk about sports here, but the Boston Celtics, lead by Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Head Coach Doc Rivers, are playing inspirational basketball in this year’s NBA Finals. I half expected the Los Angeles Lakers to sweep the Celtics or at least go 4-1, but after the first two games, which [...]
O pessoal agora tem de se apressar a fazer as picks se não fica sem elas. Em primeiro lugar é relevante referir que a linha subiu cinco pontos (de 191 para 196) em relação ao jogo 2, que terminou 102-108 para os Celtics (210 pontos).
Esta subida deve-se ao facto de os Lakers, equipa com [...]
With a fabulous start and a frantic finish, the Boston Celtics are two wins away from their 17th NBA championship. The Celtics nearly squandered an outstanding all-around performance, a 24-point lead and control of The NBA Finals before regrouping in the last minute for a 108-102 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 [...]

Segundo jogo da Final da NBA, encontra-se 1-0 para os Celtics num primeiro jogo que ainda sofreram um bocado no 2º quarto depois de verem os Lakers fazer 30 pontos á sua defesa. Neste as equipas já não vão ter um primeiro quarto para se habituarem nem um ultimo quarto muito estranho em que os [...]
The Boston Celtics rolled to a 98-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers to win Game One of the NBA finals at Boston’s TD Banknorth Garden, opening another chapter in professional basketball’s most storied rivalry.

Para este jogo, vejo valor em duas bets, no under e em Boston, no under pois as equipas no primeiro jogo sendo uma final vão entrar com muitas reservas pelo menos em teoria acho mais provável do que uma corrida ao cesto e triplos, Boston é uma equipa defensiva, que tem conseguido contabilizar vários unders [...]

Os Pistons estão definitivamente mais fortes e penso que a classificação de 3-2 é um tanto enganosa.
Espero uma vitória relaxada por parte dos Pistons que garantirá o empate dos Playoffs e forçará os Celtics a discutir o Finalista no 7º e último playoff. A verdade é que os Celtics também se poderão esforçar por [...]
Mais um jogo dos playoffs, volta-se a jogar na casa dos Boston depois de cada uma das equipas ter ganho um jogo fora. Encontra-se assim esta eliminatória empata a 2. A diferença entre as duas equipas não me parece muito grande, mesmo pelos resultados das vitorias de cada uma dá para ver isso.

Jogo 1 da Final de Conferência de Este
Começam as finais de conferência, e defrontam-se hoje os 2ºs da Conferencia de Este, os Pistons, com os 1ºs, os Celtics.

Esta é das linhas mais baixas que vi na NBA, no entanto vejo nela um enorme valor.
Já por várias vezes referi em picks minhas, que aprendi com o Andre Gomes que quando as equipas jogam fora do seu horário normal, geralmente os jogadores se apresentam algo “rusty” (perros) e fazem percentagens de acerto bastante [...]
It’s a simple formula.The Celtics + playing in Boston – Sam Cassell equals a happy Sean Crowe.For the most part.James Posey and Ray Allen trying to throw the game late in the fourth quarter by committing two awful turnovers in their own zone nearly gave me an aneurysm. How do you make that pass, Posey? Ray Allen, at this point in his career, is a liability at times on the floor. Now that he

As razões da minha pick serão as mesmas para o outro jogo, pois apesar de saber que não há dois jogos iguais, e não é o [...]
Esta será certamente uma série bastante intensa. Boston está em vantagem por 1-0.
O primeiro jogo foi um autêntico desastre para o ataque de ambas as equipas, com LeBron, Paul Pierce e Ray Allen a estarem vergonhosos nos lançamentos, acabando por levar a melhor os Celtics porque tiveram Garnett em forma a compensar, uma vitória nos [...]
Jogo entre duas equipas que se prezam pelo seu estilo defensivo e por Boston ser melhor defensivamente acredito que Cleveland muito dificilmente chegará perto dos 90 pontos.
Boston durante a época normal em casa esteve simplesmente fantástica apenas 6 derrotas e 35 vitórias, registo caseiro apenas superado por Utah. Nestes jogos caseiros a equipa sempre mostrou [...]
The Boston Celtics played hard all season for home-court advantage in the playoffs. They probably just didn’t expect to need it this soon.
The Celtics are back in Boston and hoping to finish off the pesky Atlanta Hawks on Sunday in Game 7. It’s the last first-round series still going—a bit of a shock considering that [...]
David contra Golias.
Os Hawks qualificaram-se para os play-offs 8 anos depois de não o fazerem, já têm a sua época ganha. Agora sabem que não têm grandes hipóteses, e entrarem no último jogo bastante nervosos, acabando por perder por 24 pontos. São uma equipa fraca, e nada se espera deles aqui, se não perderem 4-0 [...]
- H2H favorável a Boston (3-0) esta época;
- Vitórias de Boston em casa (106-83 e 98-88) e fora de casa (89-99).

- Atlanta acabou a época regular com um recorde fora de casa de 12v e 29d;
- Atlanta acabou a época regular com um recorde [...]
Antes de mais começo por referir que uma grande corrente de smart money se pode observar neste spread. A maioria dos apostadores apoia Boston mas a linha está a oscilar bastante, baixando um ponto desde que abriu.
Contudo, eu próprio tenho que apostar em Boston face às contingências. Apesar de Doc Rivers ter dado descanso aos [...]

With Saturday’s win over the Washington Generals…err…the Charlotte Bobcats, the Celtics have had the greatest turn around in NBA history. This really is something for my generation of Celtics fans. I was too young to really appreciate Larry Bird and the original big three. For the most part, the Celtics have been a laughing stock almost my entire sports-life. While teams like Detroit and Chicago went through good-bad-good cycles, the Celtics remained consistently bad (save for a few REALLY down seasons in the Eastern Conference). It’s amazing how all of the Boston Sports teams that don’t play on ice have followed the same path. 1) Horrible ownership leads to years of inept front office decisions and horrible teams. 2) Ownership finally decides to sell the team. 3)
Penso que este pode ser um revenge game para Boston sendo os Hornets a única equipa que os Celtics ainda não derrotaram esta época, tendo perdido em New Orleans,há uma semana, por 113-106 com uma grande actuação do PF David West. Por isso para este jogo acho que não vai faltar motivação aos Celtics para [...]
Estranho esta linha de pontos para este jogo. Ambas as equipas vêm de uma derrota no último jogo, no caso de Boston duas derrotas consecutivas. Phoenix com a adição de Shaq, quis claramente mudar o seu estilo de jogo.
Apesar de continuarem a ser uma das equipas que mais pontos marcam, fora de casa a sua [...]

Wednesday night was a very big surprise for NBA fans the great Boston Celtics, when they got their first loss at home. This time, the Detroit Pistons proved they can beat one of the best. The final score was 87-85.
Chauncey Billups was the star of the game, taking the lead for the Pistons scoring 28 points (more than what Boston star Kevin Garnett scored during the game). At the beginning, one turnover gave the advantage to the Celtics, but then Billups knew what he had to do, and did it right.
Both NBA teams are currently leading their Divisions, but the Celtics haven't lost their supremacy. However, they did lose a great winning streak last night. Detroit, on the other side, added one more victory to make it a 3-game winning streak. There's still more of the road to go, and anything could happen. But the fact that Boston felt the bitter flavor of defeat on their own home, makes everybody aware of the fact that there's no safe place for any NBA team. From now on, there is no w
By: Al Terry Boston Celtics tickets are tickets to see real championship basketball. If the NBA was royalty, then the Celtics would be the undisputed king. They have established a firm tradition of playing basketball from the winning side and bringing forth some truly legendary players.The Celtics are based in Boston, Massachusetts and play their home games at TD Banknorth Garden. The team plays in the National Basketball Association in the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference. The team has 16 championships to its name, the most of any NBA franchise. They also have 25 division titles and 19 conference wins to their name.A Big StartThe Celtics were born in 1946 and struggled a lot, trying to find a foothold in the newly formed NBA. It wasn't until Red Auerbach entered the picture that the team's fortunes turned around. The team acquired some really strong players and began to play some devastatingly strong basketball. Boston Celtics tickets became a hot commodity but the team
Wow! After reaching the depths of despair last season, the upcoming one is possibly going to be an amazing one.We lost Red (RIP), DJ (RIP), came in second last in the standings and missed out on Oden and Durant in the lottery. Things, to put simply, just weren't look very bright. Somehow Danny Ainge pulled a rabbit out of the hat and acquired Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to partner Paul Pierce.I spent the last 72hrs sitting in front of the computer reading the news feeds and message boards, even watching the live telecast of the press conference over the internet....and I have to say it was all worth it. The above trio were just tickled pink at the prospect of playing with each other. After a 20 year wait, the Boston Celtics might just be in the running for banner 17.Kudos to Danny Ainge for putting this together.Kudos to Wyc and the owners for putting their money where their mouths are.These are exciting times.PS. Pok, the picture above is just for you!
Boston CelticsI had set my mind on writing a report card for our players, but the past 24hrs have been really hard to get thru. The NBA team (Boston Celtics) which I've been following closely for the past 20 years just got screwed royally in the draft lottery yet again. We entered the draft lottery with the second best odds on getting a top two pick, but somehow came out with the worst possible outcome of the 5th pick.It seems that since the Bird, McHale, Parish era, it's been a rapid downhill trend into the NBA wastelands. The deaths of Lens Bias and Reggis Lewis at their prime, missing out on the Tim Duncan sweepstakes in 97 and now missing out Greg Oden and Kevin Durant. After 20 years of wondering in the wilderness of the NBA, this draft would have been our best chance to become a relevant/respected team again. Unfortunately, the basketball gods deserted us once again. It's truely painful and depressing.Bill Simmons sums up my feelings best. Truely a sad sad day in Celtic Nation
Danny Ainge is competing hard with Matt Millen, Isaiah Thomas to be the worst front office executive for a professional sports team. I'm sure he'll beat both of them and any other bad executive you can think of. The Celtics have lost 18 straight games, the worst in team history.The first thing he does after taking office is trade Antione Walker, then bring him back only to trade him later to the Heat. In addition, he has had miserable drafts over the last few years. Some of the players he has drafted - Delonte West, Al Jefferson, Tony Allen are not All-Stars and Doc is not the kind of coach who could turn average players into All-Stars. Also, he wasted the seventh overall pick in the 2006 draft for Sebastian Telfiar when Delonte West is a much better point guard.Paul Pierce is the best thing that has happened to the Celtic Nation in recent years. Every time, I check out the Celts, Wally Szczerbiak is injured. Also Szczerbiak is a one dimensional player which makes me think we could h
