Respect!!!!! Boston Celtics showing Thanks to the two veterans.

Boston Celtics has always been my favorite NBA team and for this reason.... A Classy way to say thanks to their veteran stars who got traded in the past season. It was really an emotional return to the Garden for both KG and Paul. Respect the TRUTH.

Celtics defense is Back

I remember the Christmas Game in which the Boston Celtics crushed the Brooklyn Nets with some stifling defense.Now with the return of Avery Bradley their backcourt defense is the best on the league. They restricted the Nets to just 76 points for the game and today, they didnt let the team with the best defense in the league :Indiana Pacers to get any type of offense and the match was over at the start of the 4th Quarter.KG,Pierce and Rondo didnt play much of the 4th Quarter.Pacers couldnt make more than 75 points Now thats impressive!!!
Celtics are now dead last in the playoff positions in the Eastern Conference but they would ideally like to be around 4th or 5th so that they can make a deep run in the playoffs later this year. But for that to happen they need Avery Bradley to be healthy and Rondo to maintain his form.
The Backcourt of Celtics
THE ASSIST KING

ON BALL DEFENDER

THE STIFLER

Celtics SWEET comeback against the Heat

After the absolute travesty in game 2 where Heat came back from a 15 point deficit to an overtime victory at home. The Celtics deserved to win Game 2 of not for many many dubious calls from the refs.The worst of which is illustrated in the video below

But the Celtics showed their mental toughness in a roaring comeback in Game 3 at home. The Celtics took the early initiative and never let go. Eventhough Brandon Bass was off color and Rondo wasnt in the points the Celtics roared through the bench points and exemplary defense on the Heat. Thoroughly enjoyed a very professional performance from the home team this morning.Though the Miami had a late rally to come within 5-7 points in the final quarter the Celtic shut them down in the final minutes.I hope the Celtic scrape through to the NBA Finals and meet the other veteran team in San Antonio to make a final dance of the Veterans who played the Game the way it should be played.

NBA Finals - Aging Veterans show their mettle

As expected the reigning NBA Champions Dallas Mavericks got swept disappointingly.That makes one of my other favorite teams the Boston Celtics my lone hope of enjoyment in the NBA Finals.Boston Celtics has been an absolute surprise in the post season. I have been waking up early on the weekend at around 5 AM to watch the postseason games and i like to watch the LA Clippers as they are probably the most entertaining team to watch with CP3,Blake in the mix but was also happy that SA Spurs went through to the Conference Finals.Aging teams like Spurs and Celtics proved their mettle and class even in the case of a shortened and physically taxing season.The level of play that Kevin Garnett ,Paul Pierce and Tim Duncan able to perform in their late thirties is nothing short of amazing.The Spurs and Celtics personify what Team basketball looks like.Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli are like the best wingmen for the centre Tim Duncan who still has the best post moves in NBA.Rondo has really matured into a All Star Hall of Fame Point Guard who cares of he doesnt average 25 points a game he is a PG his job is to make others better which he excels in.... I hope either the Spurs or the Celtics win.
