Sports: Boston Celtics....Up & Down

All the hype that was built up to Tuesday's NBA game between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat made the game the hottest ticket in Boston and the NBA.

A number of celebrities made their way to Boston and The Garden: Donny and Mark Wahlberg, Houston rapper and member of UGK, Bun B, Ben Affleck, members of New Edition and a plethora of folks who wanted to "Witness" what the "Young Money Crew" (read: Wade, Bosh and James) would do against the Celtics.

The Celtics played some great basketball, shooting 46% from the field and 64% from the free-throw line; all the while, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo averaged 39-minutes played.

The 'Big 4' got some help from the "Big Shamrock", who chipped in 9 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and blocked 1 shot

The Celtics won 88-80.

Fast forward to last night's game versus the Kingless, Cleveland Cavaliers: The Celtics played well, but came up short and lost 95 to 87.


While the Celtics outplayed and outrebounded the Cavaliers, when a team scores only 14-points in the 4th quarter, that's never a good sign that the team is going to win the game.


Well, the Celtics have the night off and are back in Boston.  Tomorrow night they play host the the New York Knickerbockers and Nate Robinson will be able to say hello to his old teammates from his Knicks playing days.


This season, the Celtics have adopted the motto of "It's ON!" and I'm confident that this is going to be an exciting season. 

Stay tuned!
