Am I the only one who's even a little bit concerned? http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/reality_check.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/reality_check.html Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:30:45 -0500 Last night there were so many opportunities to give up on this game. Everything was in the depths of despair. Eventually - it happened. http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/comeback_for_th.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/comeback_for_th.html Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:12:59 -0500 Game 3 was a frustrating loss but not a devastating one. You felt like the C's were on the verge of stealing one, rather than letting a winnable game slip away. http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/nomentum.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/nomentum.html Wed, 11 Jun 2008 01:42:02 -0500 No wonder why the Lakers didn’t have an answer for Leon Powe, their coach doesn’t even know who he is. http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/the_kinda_big_2.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/the_kinda_big_2.html Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:57:10 -0500 I know, he doesn't affect games, is a fun novelty act that probably got more attention than it deserves, but it is still a little depressing. I agree with KG, that maybe it was better not knowing the fate of the Human Victory Cigar. http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/win_it_for_gino.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/win_it_for_gino.html Sat, 07 Jun 2008 12:57:33 -0500 I thought it was over. I had flashbacks to January 2007, Tony Allen writhing on the floor of the Garden, after the ligaments in his knee had pretty much exploded after he came down awkwardly after a failed dunk attempt.... http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/montage_moment.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/montage_moment.html Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:09:14 -0500 OK kids, it's time to dress up your little brother in a gold sweatsuit and horn-rimmed glasses and get your clothesline arm ready … it's Lakers vs. Celtics! No, this isn't the late '80s and you're not sitting in front... http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/hoping_to_see.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/hoping_to_see.html Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:36:01 -0500 The front page of ESPN.com this morning was littered with stories on Kobe Bryant. I realize that the Lakers are the flashier team in this series, they probably always have been in this rivalry, but the media's love affair with... http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/i_hate_kobe_so.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/i_hate_kobe_so.html Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:13:21 -0500 We seriously have to wait until Thursday? The every-other-day wait was bad enough; this is just unreasonable. http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/the_finals_coun.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/06/the_finals_coun.html Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:44:44 -0500 The Boston Celtics overcame all of the obstacles and setbacks that sprouted in the playoffs to make it to the NBA Finals for the first time in 21 years. Let's take a look at a few of the demons, large... http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/finals_destinat.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/finals_destinat.html Fri, 30 May 2008 23:18:16 -0500 Well the Celtics are going to need a big fourth-quarter comeback if they want to make their first appearance in the NBA Finals in 21 years tonight. It's win or go home ... and play a Game 7. Just a... http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/final_chance.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/final_chance.html Fri, 30 May 2008 22:35:44 -0500 Welcome to the Green Room at the half... The Celtics cling to a 40-37 halftime lead after an ugly second quarter by both teams. What started out as a fast-paced game with both teams trading baskets turned into the ball-trapping,... http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/halfway_home.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/halfway_home.html Fri, 30 May 2008 21:41:45 -0500 Some thoughts from the first quarter... I love the way the Celtics have come out so far. It seems like every road game they go down by ten points and can't buy a bucket. Ray Allen has hit two three-pointers... http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/first_frame.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/first_frame.html Fri, 30 May 2008 20:54:55 -0500 I can't even begin to describe the emotional roller coaster that was Celtics' thrilling 106-102 win in Game 5. In fact, I'm surprised I can even type right now. Feels like trying to play whack-a-mole with wet noodles. Regardless, here's... http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/survival_rambli.html http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/green_room/2008/05/survival_rambli.html Thu, 29 May 2008 01:12:22 -0500
