Check the blog for standing updates throughout the season.

The Nets Feel It

The Celtics took out their anger from their loss to Phoenix on the New Jersey Nets the next night as they beat them by 10 points, 86-76. They are now 7-1, but shuold be 8-0!!! The loss to Phoenix was such a frustrating loss. Their next game is this Wednesday as they host the Utah Jazz at 7:30. Hopefully they can keep the winning going because they seem like they cant be stopped. Check the blog after the game for updates.

First Loss

The Boston Celtics winning streak finally comes to an end. Last Friday, November 6th, the Celtics suffered their first loss of the season in the hands of the Phoenix Suns, 110-103. It was a very tough loss for not only the Celtics, but the coaches and the fans to swallow. I know myself personally I felt like it could'nt happen and they were'nt going to lose because they were playing amazing. It sucked that they lost and it was kind of upsetting to watch.

Close Call

The Celtics had a close call Wednesday night when they went to Minnesota to play the Timberwolves. They went in obviously thinking they would come away with an easy win, but the Twolves had other plans. The Twolves probably played they're best game of the season so far, and on top of that they shot 57% from the floor the entire night. The celtics fought back the whole game and they eventually pulled out a very lucky win, 92-90. They are now 6-0 on the season, still undefeated, and doesnt seem like they are going to lose anytime soon. Tonight they are playing at home in the garden against the Pheonix Suns at 7:30.

They CANT Be Stopped!

The Boston Celtics are playing like they are the best basketball team on the planet; and according to their record, they are. they are playing like they did two years ago when they won the NBA championship and it looks like they will not lose. They opened their season against the defending eastern conference champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers. They won that game 95-89. The next day they played their home opener against the Charlotte Bobcats and absolutely tore them apart and won 92-59. Two nights later they played against the team that played them really strong in the playoffs last year, the Chicago Bulls, and they won the game 118-90. then they played at home against the New Orleans Hornets and beat them 97-87. they played last night against the Philadelphia 76ers and won that game 105-74. They are on a 5 game win streak and have yet to lose a game this season. If this was baseball they would be batting 1,000. They play again tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves at 8 oclock tonight in Minnesota.

H1N1 strikes the NBA

Cleveland Cavalier players Lebron James, Darnell Jackson, and Coby Karl all have H1N1 or swine flu. They all tested positive for Influenza A this week. All three have been sitting out of practice and not participating in their pre season games. They also got tested for the H1N1 virus but have not recieved the results yet. They are working on methods to prevent this from spreading around the team and the rest of the league.
