05/05/11 Well, what can you say? This hasn't exactly gone according to plan. The Celtics are now down 2-0 in their second-round playoff series with the Miami Heat. This is uncharted territory for them -- they've never trailed 2-0 in a postseason series since acquiring Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. They're not quite sure how to respond. Neither are you guys, apparently. This week's questions are a motley ...
05/01/11 As the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics jump center on their Eastern Conference Semifinal series, the subplots and story lines fly like a high-arching, Ray Allen 3-pointer.

It's quite another to be out-played by a Tyler Hansbrough. Before this series with the Indiana Pacers ...

04/21/11 The Celtics are up 2-0 on the Knicks and headed down to New York. For some of you, advancing from here to round two is a slam dunk; for others, it's a contested 25-footer. The C's have beaten the Knicks in back-to-back games, but both were iffy performances for 48 minutes and both went down to the wire. They won one on a clutch 3-pointer from Ray Allen and the other on a classic Kevin Garnett ...

04/19/11 Golden State's watching TV like the rest of us, following along as former Warriors make contributions in the playoffs.
