Showdown at MSG on Wednesday Night

This Wednesday night the Celtics will be visiting Madison Square Garden to take on the Knicks. This is going to be a good game for many reasons. The Celtics are on a 10 game winning streak, and the Knicks are on a 8 game winning streak. Our records are very close in regards of the Atlantic division and it should play out to be a very interesting match-up as we all know the beef between KG and Amare.

Not to mention, Carmelo might get traded to the Knicks soon..(not cool)

Article: "Give Bill Russell A Damn Statue"

Article: "Give Bill Russell A Damn Statue" by Paul Flannery talks about how Boston should give Celtic great, Bill Russell a statue near the TD Garden for all that he has accomplished. I found this to be a very interesting article as I learned a few things that I never really knew about Russell. The article mentioned very intriguing facts and also included the interview he had with Kevin Garnett when he joined the team (posted after the jump). Reading this article and then watching the video after would give any real Celtics aficionado goosebumps. With that said, consider me on the bandwagon for giving Bill Russell a statue.

Freshness Friday

Welcome to our very first "Freshness Friday." Freshness Friday is a special Friday-only blog post where we pretty much just post a little bit of everything. Each week will be a little different, but fresh no matter what.

Today's Freshness Friday is gonna cover the Celtics, some new old beats, an ill sneaker video, and Kanye.

Check it all out after the jump.

Pause.

Air Rondo got up there, straight up threw down on whoever was guarding the paint Chris Bosh. That's what happens when you don't play D for 7 years in Toronto. Rondo is the best point guard in the NBA, and not just because he's got ups like that. Take some notes Miami, team chemistry matters....

Tonight: Boston Celtics vs. LeBron James, D.Wade, & Bosh

Tonight, the Boston Celtics will be playing the LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh down in Miami. I refuse to say that the Boston Celtics will be playing the Miami Heat because if I did that, it would show that the Heat play team basketball, which they don't. Eddie House is the best player on the Heat and it's no surprise since he was once a beloved Celtic. Good Luck tonight Miami, you're going to need your home crowd because it will be pretty upsetting if the "old" Celtics out-play you again.
