Almost had it, but not quite. The Brooklyn Nets had the Boston Celtics on the ropes Friday night, but a late mistake proved costly as they ultimately fell short in double overtime. The L was the team’s fourth in a row. The opponent tonight, amazingly, is back in the playoff chase. A couple months ago, […]

I'll chalk that loss up to a double overtime game on the road the night before and getting in at 4 am to Chicago. They played pretty well in spite of all that. Jaylen Brown had every reason to take the night off after almost 46 minutes the night before so I respect him for playing. Bulls fans don't much like their team. That seems to be true of a lot of teams we play lately. I love all our Celtics. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? &...

Let’s talk Bulls basketball. © Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Last night, the ninth-seeded underdog Chicago Bulls beat the second-seeded Boston Celtics, 114–111.

Before being welcomed by Chicago’s freezing nine-degree temperatures on Saturday, the Celtics had their work cut out for them. There wasn’t much room for rest after Friday’s trip to the city that never sleeps. It took two overtime periods to overcome the Nets, leaving less than 24 hours to prepare to do it all over […]

It’s been a pretty incredible week at the United Center. It started on Monday night with Jonathan Toews ‘ return and the incredible reception from Blackhawks fans. Last night, the Bulls beat the Celtics on a jumper with 0.2 seconds left and then put Derrick Rose’s number in the rafters . At some point later this season, the Blackhawks will host a ceremony to formally induct Duncan Keith and Steve Larmer into the team’s Hall of Fame. Who knows… maybe someday they’ll put 28 where it belongs in t...

The Celtics roll into Chicago looking to extend a winning rhythm, but the Bulls are in a groove as well. Boston had to dig deep last night, and they’ll have to again on the second half of a back-to-back. Fatigue may be a factor, but the Celtics have a key contributor returning. Here are three […]

Brown strained his hamstring in the preseason and has been dealing with some tightness in that hamstring over the past week, which he said affected […]

In one of the most exciting games of the season, the Boston Celtics eked out a win over the Brooklyn Nets in a double OT thriller on Friday night. It was a back-and-forth game of runs, 22 lead changes, 13 ties, and no lead bigger than 11 points. With the Nets having lost their last […]

What a game!! I always love when there are loud Celtics fans on the road. Nets fans love PP, Hauser, and Hugo for the most part, except the one fan that wants to punch Payton. I love how they kept saying that Jaylen didn't do anything but yet he finished with a triple double. It's funny how a lot of Celtics fans want to trade for Claxton when Nets fans really want to get rid of him. After watching Amari Williams in this one, I have to say that the Celt...

Derrick Rose ‘s iconic No. 1 jersey will be hung in the rafters of the United Center on Saturday night following their game against the Boston Celtics. The current team has won three in a row and are back at .500, but the packed house tonight will have more than a regular season game on their agenda. Rose’s emergence as a budding young superstar, prior to a cruel intervention from fate, helped reinvigorate his hometown Bulls during an exciting era. Along with fellow Chicago All-Stars Jimm...

We are two weeks from the trade deadline, and the Celtics are among a handful of teams rumored to be buyers seeking a positional upgrade to prepare for a postseason run.

I am going to try my hardest to remain calm during this. To keep things relaxed, I’ll start with a simple list of things that happened during that Celtics win: Late substitution, choreographed Hugo Gonzalez game tying three with .4 seconds left in overtime… ok? All that after a comeback to take a big lead […]
