KG beats the buzzer..

I was there to witness the Celts beating the Knicks today 107-105 on KG's buzzer-beater. My stomach was in KNOTS and I would've been crushed if we lost to the Knicks. It was obvious KG was struggling with his shot today, but when it really mattered he came through. Kendrick Perkins had another great game-4 blocks and 13 boards to go along with 16 points. Paul Pierce led all scorers with 33 points and buried 6 of his 7 three-point attempts. Rondo was all over the floor today, on offense and defense. He was 1 rebound short of a triple-double and had 4 steals. For the 2nd unit, Eddie House had his best game in a while, scoring 10 points and hitting 2 three-pointers. It was alot of fun for me to see the Celts on the road, especially at the world-famous Madison Square Garden. Here are some pics and video I shot today...

Ray of Hope....

A friend of mine went to Ray Allen's "Ray of Hope" benefit on Thursday night. Here are some pics she snapped off. Thanks Xianghong for the great pics!

What's goin' on....??

Frustrating start to my weekend. Celts went down to the Magic 83-78 last night at the Garden. The C's couldn't hit much of anything shot-wise (30 of 87 from the field)
and Vince Carter didn't seem to miss at all. I don't want to dwell on this loss. The C's have some serious issues to address, and I feel confident they will-I'll leave it at that. Right now I am trying to enjoy my weekend with my family in New Jersey. Tomorrow I'll be at MSG for Celtics-Knicks, and will be checking out the world-famous NBA Store afterwards. Check here late tomorrow for pics, video, etc. Here is the only good thing that seemed to come out of last night's game for me-Aztec Gino, my sister and me on CSN....

Regroup and refocus...

Not a good weekend for the C's. Back-to-back losses, finger-pointing (from fans/media) and disappointment. We all know that expectations are high for this team, and anything short of Banner 18 will be a letdown. Marquis Daniels said on his Twitter tonight that it's time to "regroup n refocus". I believe they will do just that. They now have a full 3 days to get it together. I have all the faith in the world that they will. It's simple-they are a very talented group, but the age of some of their core players may hold them back. It will be up to the bench to come with energy in those instances. It will also be up to Doc and his staff to juggle minutes and make sure they are not burning guys out over the long 82 games that is an NBA season. I am very excited for this coming week. It will be all Celtics all the time for me. I will be going to both the Golden State and Orlando games on Wed. and Fri. at the Garden, then down to NYC for Knicks-C's at MSG next Sunday. I have family in the NYC area and will be visiting them. I hope to have some good pics and video of my trip posted here and on Twitter. Goodnite Celtics fans all over the world....

Lack of motivation..?

Celtics drop their 2nd game of the season tonight to the Hawks, 97-86 at the Garden tonight. Here are my observations:(watched on TV) At times, Celts were late getting back on D, Hawks were WAY more active on the glass, we shot an atrocious 1 of 15 from beyond the arc, and at times, we simply did not seem motivated. I called in to CSL tonight and spoke on these observations. The consensus between myself and the show's hosts was that the Celts just were not up for this game-or at least didn't seem to be. I am not here to bash the Celts, I am just stating what I saw as the reason(s) why we lost tonight. I noticed guys standing around underneath a bit, and also guys complaining to the refs when they probably should've been getting back on defense. Most of the current players on the C's roster have won a championship, have had multiple All-Star selections, won awards on many different levels of bball etc etc. It just appeared to me that tonight the Celts rested on their laurels. I am not concerned at this point in time. If this type of stuff is still going on as the season progresses however, then I can see it being a serious problem. Nevertheless, a very disappointing night at the Garden and on couches and recliners across CelticsNation. Next up, the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse. It will be Marquis Daniels' return to his old stomping grounds. Tip-off tonight is at 7pm.
