Streak Still Goin'

The Celtics were able to keep their winning streak alive by beating the Milwaukee Bucks and pushing the streak to 8 games. They beat them by a score of 98-89. They also pushed their record to 17-4 and are in first place in their division still. Now me, I am a huge basketball fan, I love the sport, I love playing it, watching it, being around it, so when my team, as in the Celtics, are doing good, it feels good to be from Boston and it makes you excited to watch a game because you know they are good and it is going to be an interesting game to watch. Like if you were from New Jersey you wouldn't care to watch your team right now because the Nets are 1-19 and have the worst record in the NBA and are in last place. That is not something people look forward to watching when they come home from work or school; they want something interesting that's going to make them happy, not depressed. So anyway the Celtics are on a hot streak right now and are playing great basketball and hopefully they can push the win streak to 9 games tonight at 8 pm on the road where they will take on Gilbert Arenas and the Washington Wizards.

Beantown Is Rockin'

The Celtics are still on that 7 game winning streak and are still in 1st place in the Atlantic Division. They are also still in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. They have improved their record to 16-4; and their home record to 7-3 and road record to 9-1. They currently have the second highest winning streak going behind the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers, who are on a 9 game winning streak. Let's see if the Celtics can keep the winning streak going tonight when they face off with the Milwaukee Bucks at 8pm at home. By looking at their schedule they should win their next 7 games and have a 14 game winning streak. Their only threat in that 7 game span may be the Chicago Bulls. Besides them the Celtics play the Bucks, the Washington Wizards, the Memphis Grizzles, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Indiana Pacers, and then on Christmas night they play against the team I hate the most, the Orlando Magic. Hopefully the Celtics can get some revenge on them and even the season record to 1-1 against them because right now they have only played once and the Celtics lost that game. Let's see what these amazing Celtics can do.

Well What Do You Know...

Since beating the Orlando Magic on November 20th, which is a team I despise, the Celtics have not lost a game. They are currently on a 7 game winning-streak and don't seem to be losing anytime soon. After beating the Miami Heat on the road, they stayed on the road and played in three hostile environments. Places like the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte North Carolina, the AT&T Center in San Antonio Texas, and The Ford Center in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. They brought a win home from all 3 of those places by beating the Bobcats from Charlotte, the Spurs from San Antonio, and the Thunder from Oklahoma City. It has always been great to be a Celtics fan and I am a die hard fan. I love the game of basketball, I love everything about it and my favorite team has always been the Celtics. I liked watching the tapes of the old games from the 70s and 80s and early 90s when I was young. I love to watch them now too because they are finally as good if not better than they were in the 70s and 80s with Bird and Johnson. Now they have 3 players who I have liked since I started watching basketball. Those players are Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen. I liked KG before he came here. I liked him when he was playing in Minnesota but now that he is in Boston and helped lead us to an NBA title two years ago, I like him even more. Same with Ray Allen. I liked him when he was playing in Seattle for the Supersonics, which is now the Oklahoma City Thunder. I am always going to be a Celtics fan, even long after these guys retire and new guys step in. I'm going to watch the Celtics play till the day I die, and that goes same for the Bruins too.

The Cs Are Rollin'

The Celtics have been on a tare recently with their 4 game winning streak still intact. In the past 2 weeks or so the Celtics have won 4 straight games beating opponents such as, the New York Knicks in OT, the Philadelphia 76ers by 3 points, the Toronto Raptors by 13 points, and the Miami Heat on the road by 7 points. They have taken down many good teams so far this season, but they themselves have been taken down by teams that should have had no chance whatsoever against them. They have now improved their record to 13-4, and have improved to 2nd place in the Eastern Conference behind the ever dangerous Orlando Magic. They are also now in 1st place in the Atlantic Division. They are 9-3 in their conference and 5-0 in their division. They are on a roll right now just like the Bruins are so let’s see if both of my favorite sports teams can keep it going and pull out a good season.

Big Players make Big Shots Too

Kevin Garnett comes through in the clutch! With the game on the line against the Knicks in New York, KG had the ball in his hands to take the last shot in OT for the Celtics. Every Celtic fan knows what happened when the ball left his hand; it swished through the net as time ran out. The Celtics won the game 107-105. It was an amazing game and not only did KG come through in the clutch, but so did the captain, Paul Pierce, who scored 7 of the teams 9 points scored in overtime.

Celtics Standings

The Celtics are currently in first place in the Atlantic division and in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference. They are 8-3 on the year, 5-2 in the conference, 2-0 in the division, 4-2 at home, 4-1 on the road, 7-3 out of their last 10 games, have a winning percentage of .727%, and are on a 2 game losing streak right now.

Need To Pick It Up

Since beating the New Jersey Nets, the Celtics have lost 2 of their last 3 games. They beat the Utah Jazz on the Wednesday after they beat New Jersey, and then lost their next two games. They lost 97-86 to the Atlanta Hawks and they also lost 113-104 to the Indiana Pacers. They are now 8-3 but they should be 11-0 because those losses were bad ones, and were games they definitely should have won. Let’s see if they can bounce back and get a win tomorrow night at home against the Golden State Warriors at 7:30 pm. Check the blog for updates after the game.
