I want to start off by saying we extend our deepest apologies to those that tuned into the Celtics Late Night Show tonight. I guess tonight was just not the night for Celtics podcasts, both the Celtics Late Night Show and Celtics Stuff Live were forced to postpone until later dates. Unfortunately tonight was a disappointing experience as we once again struggled with the technical difficulties that Blog Talk Radio put upon us. We tried as hard as we could to resolve the problem and give everyone a good show but things just weren’t meant to be. Because we have a [...]

  Call In Number (347) 215-7771 Tomorrow night at 11pm the Celtics Late Night Show will be back live on the air.

Now we are going to do a test run on a daily poll that will be up every morning and throughout the day on the site for you to come in and respond with your opinion on the subject matter. The results from these polls will be kept and brought up further down the line when [...]

BLAZERS 95 CELTICS 98 F/OT I’ll tell ya there is nothing more energizing than a huge Celtics victory. Especially after losing every game for what has seemed like the past month. I can tell you right now that I would probably not have written a post tonight recapping this game after doing a post game pod cast, if the Celtics lost. Well, that wasn’t the case, so here I am writing you a recap, and I might as well put up a Daily Poll after it, huh? Anyway, Kevin Garnett got his first start after missing 10 games. INSTANT, and [...]

Today I got an email from Kristin from Elevate.com, she is one of the people in charge of giving away “The Ultimate Celtics Experience”. She offered us the opportunity to advertise the giveaway on the site and because it’s for a good cause we decided to give our readers the chance to get in on the opportunity of a lifetime. Here is the information Kristin sent forward to us: Celtics Star Paul Pierce is offering hoops fans the chance to win the “Ultimate Celtics Experience,” including a meet and greet with the Celtics Captain and twelve tickets to his personal [...]

  3-10 FG’s   /   0-4 3′s   /   2-2 FT’s   /   8 Points I’m not sure if this was a good idea, or a bad idea to do a shot chart on Ray Allen. Before the game I thought it would be a good idea because of his matchup with rival Richard Hamilton, so I wanted to mark out how he did against the defense of Rip. Then as the game got started I wondered why I didn’t do Sheed as it was his return to Detroit. Also as the game dragged on it didnt appear Ray was ever going to [...]

The fans have spoken and although there may be a lot of complaints Kevin Garnett has been named an all-star starter. Being a Celtics fan I can’t really complain but there is definitely a major flaw in this system. Taking the floor with Garnett will be Lebron James, Dwight Howard, Allen Iverson, and Dwyane Wade. The West will send out a lineup of Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudemire, Tim Duncan, and Carmelo Anthony. Via Gary Washburn (Boston Globe): Despite missing the past 10 games heading into Friday’s game with the Portland Trail Blazers, Kevin Garnett has been named a starter [...]

In last night’s embarrassing loss to the Detroit Pistons, Celtics forward Glen Davis made a very obscene comment towards a Detroit fan. According to sources the fan was heckling Glen for a large part of the first half, even after being asked to stop. Instead of being a mature individual Davis responded with his own remark of “Suck My D**k”. Unfortunately for Davis he made the mistake of saying this right in front of the microphone at the scorers table at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The remark was heard by many fans watching the game on television and the NBA [...]

If you remember correctly it was less than three weeks ago when J.R Giddens was shaking like a twig in anticipation of his first career NBA start. Giddens mentioned that he thought this was his chance to shine on the big stage and he put a load of importance on his performance in the game against Toronto on the 2nd of January. You could tell in the game that he was very nervous and trigger shy, which has to be expected for a young guy like him. Since then Giddens has rarely seen playing time outside of a blowout win in [...]
