|Celtics-Pistons Game Blog: Second Quarter
|11.20.08 at 6:53 pm ET
SECOND QUARTER WRAP: The Celtics second unit was hot early in the second and pushed the lead up to 38-27. But the Pistons got physical and are within nine half. They're looking to battle and the Celtics will have to come out hot in the third quarter to stave off a comeback.
Halftime Notes and Numbers:
- Iverson leads all scorers with 12. Rondo and Tony Allen lead the Celtics with 9 apiece.
- Both teams have 16 points in the paint and the rest of the stat lines are very similar.
- The Pistons are outrebounding the Celtics 18-16 while the Celtics have one more assist, 11-10.
Paul has you covered after a entertaining halftime performance by the Bucket Boys.
- At the half, Celtics 49, Pistons 40
– Two days after saying KG is "crazier" than him on the court, Perk got T'ed up at the end of the second after Maxiell fouled Pierce at the hoop.
– There is talk of a heated relationship between UConn alums Ray Allen and Rip Hamilton, but few details are known. We're getting a glimpse into that tonight with Hamilton knocking Allen over for an offensive foul. Hamilton had something to say about it as they ran down the court.
– A little kid dressed in an oversized Bill Walker jersey just won Sarah Brightman tickets in a tot-sized road race. What are the chances he has her songs on iTunes?
– The Celtics have their starters back on the court and the Pistons have all but Wallace out there.
– Both Ray Allen and House have missed free throws this quarter. It was House's first miss of the season and Allen's fourth.
– Eddie House is feeling it. After Powe swatted away a Prince drive, House nailed a three on the fast break. He drained another trey on the next possession, prompting the Pistons to call a timeout down 38-27.
– Rip Hamilton completely faked out Tony Allen at the top of the key. TA has learned from his mistakes and didn't get tricked into fouling him on the shot a la last season against Chauncey Billups.
– During a timeout the Celtics played their first "slow dance" of the year on the Jumbotron. It was a slo-mo of awesomely bad dance moves from the Garden set to the awesomely bad Lonestar ballad, "Amazed."
– Now Aaron Afflalo is guarding Powe (??) … now Afflalo's on the ground. Powe's at the line shooting two.
– Scal for three. And the crowd goes wild.
– I was hoping for a physical match up between Powe and Maxiell considering the trouble the Pistons big man gave Perk last season. But Big Baby is on Maxiell and Powe has Prince. Powe should be able to back Prince down in the paint.
– For the first time in a while, Doc is going with an entire second unit. Usually he leaves PIerce or Ray Allen on the court with the reserves, but now he's giving the lineup of Scal, Powe, Davis, Tony Allen, and House a look. Michael Curry's going with Iverson, Stuckey, Prince, Afflalo, and Wallace.
– After another slow start, the Celtics enter the second quarter tied 21-21 with the Pistons.
|Sounds of the game… Celtics 110, Knicks 101
|11.18.08 at 9:28 pm ET
And let it begin. Quentin Richardson against the world, or at least the world champion Boston Celtics.
He didn't hold back following Tuesday's loss in Boston. He accused the Celtics of throwing their title, their rings and everything else in his face in the form of trash talk.
What could turn out to be a facsinating storyline if the Knicks remain relevant throughout the season evolved Tuesday night into a backyard brawl. Just listen to 'Q' explain his side of the story.
Richardson said the Celtics were trash talking.
Tensions flared in the second quarter when Richardson actually played peace-maker, separating his teammate Zach Randolph from Leon Powe under the Knicks basket as the two began to get into it.
Richardson said if this weren't a basketball court, things would be different.
Paul Pierce on all the trash talk going on.
Celtics center Kendrick Perkins said 'Q' has it all wrong.
One thing is for sure, our Jessica Camerato doesn't have it wrong. She has as terrific look back at last year, showing that this isn't the first time Richardson has popped off in Boston's direction. Check out that and more on the Celtics Game Day Blog.
Oh by the way, the stars of the game did have something to say about how the Celtics managed to win without Kevin Garnett.
Perkins said there was no replacing Kevin Garnett on Tuesday.
Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said he takes comfort in outplaying Celtics in the fourth quarter.
Doc Rivers on the win without KG.
Paul Pierce said they didn't feel extra pressure without the Big Ticket.
|Pregame: Scal to Start against Knicks
|at 5:12 pm ET
Brian Scalabrine will get the start on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks in place of the suspended Kevin Garnett. Doc Rivers went with Scal to keep in second unit in tact. This will be just the 51st start of Scal's eight-year career and 28th with the Celtics.
Garnett's suspension was the hot topic before the game for both teams. Rivers cited Shaquille O'Neal's recent fine in comparison to Garnett's punishment. "I was just surprised. I'm not going to get into this long because I thought it was a ridiculous suspension. I really did," he said. Rivers also pointed out that KG isn't even allowed in the building tonight.
Inside the Celtics locker room Garnett's teammates were cautious when giving their opinion of the ruling.
"Ya'll want me to say something bad, huh?" Kendrick Perkins said with a smile before adding, "I don't know, it's kind of crazy. But you know it's something we've got to deal with. I think he's handling it well but what can we do about it?"
Said Leon Powe, "Well I can't really say but, you know, I wouldn't have suspended him for that. But it's the league and there are rules so whatever they decide, we've got to roll with. So now we've got to go out there with KG but we've got to still be a team and we've still got to go out there and fight and play together."
As for the Knicks, they are looking to take advantage of the defensive void on the Celtics. "KG is pretty much the anchor defensively," said Jamal Crawford. "He really gets after it defensively but they're still a good defensive team without KG. But with him, he just takes them to a different level. It'll be a lot of similar things that we were going to do before but you make minor adjustments."
Paul and I will be bringing out the latest live from the TD BankNorth Garden, so tune in during the game for all the most up-to-date information.
|Celtics Know How to Beat Knicks without Garnett
|11.17.08 at 7:11 pm ET
On Tuesday night the Boston Celtics will take on the New York Knicks without Kevin Garnett as he serves a one-game suspension for his conduct on Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Garnett was penalized without pay for striking Andrew Bogut in the face in the fourth quarter of the Celtics 102-97 overtime win. Bogut's foul on Garnett was also upgraded to a Flagrant Foul Penalty One on Monday.
This isn't the first time the team has been without KG since acquiring him nearly 16 months ago. Last season Garnett sat out nine games with an abdominal strain that he suffered on a game-saving play against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Celtics went 7-2 during that stretch.
This isn't the first time the team will take on the Knicks without KG either. Last February 13 the Celtics defeated them 111-103 at Madison Square Garden.
So how did the Celtics get it done without Garnett?
(I know, I know, beating the Knicks isn't earth shattering but the Celtics still have to make adjustments.)
That night Paul Pierce and Ray Allen combined for 45 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists. The duo hit 17-of-18 from the free throw line (Allen missed one). Rajon Rondo also shot 64% from the field to score 18 points. Garnett wasn't the only starter out of the lineup that night. Kendrick Perkins was sidelined as well, so Leon Powe and Brian Scalabrine got the starts in their place. Powe chipped in 18 points while Scal lasted just under three minutes before James Posey took over.
On the defensive end, they limited the Knicks to 29% three-point shooting and held them to 20 assists (the Celtics dished 29). The Cs also blocked six shots to the Knicks zero.
The Celtics turned to their bench to get it done last time and Tuesday night will be no different.
|Celtics Starting Lineup Named to All-Star Ballot
|11.11.08 at 1:24 pm ET
All five members of the Boston Celtics starting lineup will be named to the 2009 All-Star ballot today, presented by T-Mobile. The ballot will be unveiled today during a special kick-off ceremony in Phoenix, Arizona.
Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, and Kendrick Perkins are all up for spots on the Eastern Conference team. The Big Three participated in last year's game (Allen was a replacement for Caron Butler) while Rondo and Perkins have never been named to the team.
The All-Star Game will be held February 15 at the US Airways Center. Voting will begin on Thursday, November 13 and run through mid-January. This season fans will be able to cast their votes in every NBA arena, online at NBA.com in several different languages, and via cell phone.
|Pregame: Celtics vs. Raptors
|11.10.08 at 5:17 pm ET
Greetings from the TD BankNorth Garden where the Boston Celtics are set to take on the Toronto Raptors. Paul and I have you covered tonight so check back regularly for news and updates.
The Raptors wasted no time getting ready for the game as nearly every player except for Jermaine O'Neal and Chris Bosh were warming up when I scoped out the court around 5:30. Leon Powe, Kendrick Perkins, and Brian Scalabrine were practicing on the Celtics end.
The Cs were loose in the locker room, with Powe, House, and Rajon Rondo crowded near Perkins' locker. Perk turns 24 today and the big man is trying to downplay his birthday even though he is receiving some extra attention from his teammates.
Chris Bosh received treatment on the trainers table in the Raptors quarters while a handful of players wandered in and out of the locker room. Jamario Moon said the Raptors are a brand new team with O'Neal's veteran leadership this season. They are also a better offensive team, ranking second in the league in both three-point shooting and free throws.
Tonight it was the bench who was receiving praise from Doc Rivers. The Celtics head coach said the starters have not been consistent with their offense and defense. He would not go as far to say the bench has exceeded his expectations but they are "playing well."
The game will get underway shortly. Check back soon for more …
|Destination: Enemy Territory
|11.01.08 at 2:46 pm ET
Before even winning a championship last season, the Boston Celtics were targets every time they hit the road. The hype surrounding the Big Three was enough to make every game significant for their opponent and one in which they amped up their intensity.
After spending last week in the comforts of the TD BankNorth Garden, the Celtics are shipping out for their first road trip of the regular season. The three-stop tour will take them from Indiana to Houston and end in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
The defending champs don't expect to be welcomed with open arms and explain why:
Kendrick Perkins: 'This first game (of road trip) is key. I think we need to go out there and establish ourselves early and don't give a chance for the fans to get involved and just go out there and play Celtics ball and we'll be alright.'
Glen Davis: "My guess is that we're the champs. We're last year's champs. We have a reputation to hold on to and the odds are going to be against us but hey, what do you expect?"
Leon Powe: 'We're just going to go out and play well and set the tone early. We are just going to stay within our rules and hopefully we can pull the game out. But we'll come out with the same intensity we came out with tonight (Friday against the Chicago Bulls) and get the win.'
Eddie House: "I expect the same thing we've been expecting since last year. Everybody was gunning for us last year because people pretty much crowned us the champions before we actually went out and did it. People were gunning for us because we had the Big Three and stuff like that so I think that by us winning it, people are going to come out a little bit harder and I think we're ready for that. One thing about that is they're going to come harder but we're going to come even harder."
Tony Allen: "I ain't really worried about that. We've got to go out there any play any how. They were tough last year, they were gunning for us last year so it's going to be times two.'
Head Coach Doc Rivers: 'Not very well, I would say (of the expected reception). But that's fine. That makes the games better. I didn't think we were received well last year in retrospect. Teams wanted to beat you and they should. That's what it's all about and that'll be nice, that'll be fun. It'll be a new experience for our guys and it'll be a challenging experience for our guys."

For more than 125 years, the ten-feet-long stone slab under a thatched roof at the Smith Field bakery on the Perambur Barracks (PB) Road in Vepery of north Chennai has rolled out endless amounts of sweet bread, buns and a variety of biscuits and 'T' cakes that are cooked in natural wood fire. The establishment is the only known bakery in the city to still use this traditional method to make baked products.
Every day, a long row of customers wait patiently in front of the bakery for their turn to buy their favourite baked items from the shop. Most of them hail from Perambur, Purasavakkam, Vepery, Royapuram, Washermenpet, Basin Bridge, Elephant Gate and Choolai — that comprise the nerve of the old Madras. "Buying bread freshly baked in the wood fires of the shop is almost a ritual. I have been coming here for nearly 45 years. The bread from here is sweet and soft," said 72-year-old Jacob, a customer
Considered to be the oldest surviving bakery in the city, the bakery was founded by Sadas (Sadarasapattinam near Kalpakkam) P. Ponnuswamy Naicker in 1885 and named after the first ICS Commissioner of Madras Corporation, E. Conran Smith. In fact, a separate locality was named after Smith when a British police officers' housing quarters was opened in 1931, a few hundred metres away from the bakery. "At that time, many establishments were named after well-known British officers in the city to help obtain permission to start the business. Another reason was that bakery products at that time could be afforded only by high-income groups, that too, mainly Anglo-Indians. So, our customers were able to identify with the shop," said S. Rajesh, the great-grandson of Ponnuswamy, who currently owns the shop.
Tucked between high-rise complexes at the centre of the PB Road, the shop would be easy to miss but for the familiar warm smell of fresh bread and biscuits that emerges from it. Cakes made with almond, plum, lemon, strawberry, chocolate and walnut, horse shoe cakes, puffs made of mutton, chicken, egg — the bakery satisfies every taste bud. Biscuits, sandwich, rolls and milk are also available. But the most favoured baked item in the shop continues to be bread. "The credit for it goes to the traditional method of making bread using wood fires that makes the bread soft and easy to consume, especially for children," said 78-year-old P.V. Ramaswamy, a veteran bread maker at the shop.
The bakery has lived through some interesting times, including the two World Wars. "During World War II, we supplied a limited quantity of free bread and buns for residents because there was shortage of food, especially pastry items at that time in the city. However, times have been tough for the establishment.
"Labour shortage has affected our business. We have reduced production," said S. Shankar, the grandson of the founder, who ran the business for 35 years.

: The proposal of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to the Chief Minister to expedite land acquisition to facilitate Mysore airport expansion is unlikely to be considered as the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has given the go-ahead for widening the Mysore–Nanjangud Road.
Similarly, its demand for fast-tracking rail link to Bangalore–Kanakapura– Malavalli–Kollegal– Chamarajanagar– Mettupalayam may also not materialise given the environmental issues related to the last stretch of project (Chamarajanagar– Mettupalayam).
The airport expansion entails lengthening the runway from 1,740 metres to nearly 2,400 metres, and this hinges on acquisition of land and diversion of the existing Mysore–Nanjangud road stretch of National Highway 212, which bisects the runway.
Ruled out
But the State government gave its consent for the road expansion in view of the poor air traffic volume and ruled out airport expansion for now.
Consequently, the Mysore–Nanjangud stretch of NH-212 is being taken up for four-laning. It is part of a larger project of four-laning 150.78 km stretch of NH-212 from Kollegal to Moolehole, near the Karnataka–Kerala border, under a public-private partnership (PPP) model.
Sridharmurthy of the National Highways PPP Cell, Mysore, told The Hindu that the process was on and tenders had been floated for which there were eight responses and the eligibility and qualification of the bidders were being ascertained.
No disruptions
There were no disruptions and hurdles to the project, he added. The cost of four-laning the stretch was pegged at Rs. 523 crore, while expanding the Mysore–Nanjangud stretch would cost about Rs.100 crore. The work was expected to completed in two years, according to Mr. Sridharmurthy.
Stakeholders, who pegged their hopes on luring greater investment to Mysore, believe the frequency of commercial flights from Mysore should increase if industrialisation is to receive a boost. For this to happen, the runway length should be extended to about 2,400 metres to facilitate the landing of wide-bodied aircraft like Boeing and Airbus, as most airlines do not have small ATR-type aircraft that can land on shorter runways like in Mysore.
Commercially viable
Hence, it has been argued that the Mysore airport was not attractive for airline operators despite good passenger traffic originating from the city, and if the runway length was increased the airport could be commercially viable.
However, the State government has put the expansion plan in cold storage. Besides, the airport expansion requires the government to provide about 170 acres of encumbrance-free land to NHAI, apart from depositing Rs.100 crore for taking up the diversion of the existing highway to facilitate the runway extension.
The four-laning of the highway is a long-pending demand of the public, as the stretch is a motorists' nightmare, resulting in frequent accidents. With a traffic of more than 18,000 passenger car units (PCUs ) per day, the road qualifies for widening as per NHAI norms which stipulates that any highway with a traffic density of over 8,000 PCU must be a four-lane.
Railway line
The Chamarajanagar–Mettupalayam alignment — which is also part of the Bangalore–Satyamangalam railway line — passes through dense forests and elephant habitat and hence permission had been denied in the past to conduct the survey through the forests.
Even the Central Empowered Committee had declined clearance for the project as it was a threat to wildlife. Railway officials pointed out that permission for final location survey beyond Chamarajanagar had been denied by the authorities as it passed through forest land.

There is truly no limit to the number and types of scientific studies that people conduct to get a better understanding of the human condition. One study conducted about social media gave undisputable proof that getting more followers on social media makes people happier. There are quick ways for you to get followers on Instagram. For instance, you can buy Instagramfollowers in order to make your photos stand out and increase their chances of going viral. You could also follow some of the below tips to keep the Instagramfollowers coming.
Stick to a schedule
Although it sounds trivial, your followers want to know when they should expect a new picture. If you want your Instagram account to grow consistently, you must establish a schedule for your posts and stick to it. You can surely buy Instagram followers to make your pictures stand out whenever you post them but as long as you don't post them on a regular basis, you won't be making the best use of your posts.
If you make your followers get used to one photo daily from you, you must make sure to post daily. Your followers expect you to maintain the rhythm that you set for your posts. It is not advisable at all for you to post several pictures at once and disappear for a long time. Even if you post excellent pictures, you won't have a very loyal following if your schedule is not predictable.
Don't be a bore
Nobody would want to visit your profile if it is full of boring photos of your frowny-faced cat. You also don't want to give people too much of the same thing even if it is a good thing. For instance, people might get bored if your profile is full of photos of sunrises, sunsets, and picturesque landscapes. It advisable for you to mix things up a little bit – you might be surprised when people respond better to a picture of your morning café latte than they respond to a beautiful cityscape if you are used to posting similar photos each time.
The all-important #hashtag
You can buy Instagram followers much as you like but in order for you to get photos in front of the right audience, you must make use of tags. They are the best way to get the attention of your target audience. You should stay away from very popular hashtags because they are not very helpful at getting more eyeballs on your post. For instance, if you take a photo and include a #cat tag, there are millions of photos with a similar tag and yours will get lost in the sea of photos competing for attention. You should get creative with your tags and also do some research to find some trending tags to use.
When you have a great photo and buy Instagram followers for it, you shouldn't stop there. Of course when you buy Instagramfollowers you increase the visibility of your photo but how do you keep it relevant? The answer is simple: interact with people who comment on the photo. You should always make sure that you acknowledge your audience.

adidas Yeezy 350 Boost Low "Black" On Feet Images
Everyone is thirsty for Black Yeezy Boosts, but there's no clear indication on a release date. Here is the best look at Kanye West's adidas Yeezy 350 Boost Low in the Black colorway. The upper is a one piece mesh upper with what looks to be a neoprene sockliner. The adidas Yeezy 350 Boost Low will retail in the ballpark of $210. Stick with TSG for a release date on the Black Yeezy Boost Low's in the upcoming future.
Nike Air Foamposite "Gone Fishing" – First Look
Since all the crazy inspired releases, Nike has returned to solid colorways on Foamposites for the most part. NBA On TNT plays the Gone Fishing game when an team has been elimnated from the NBA Playoffs. No more Basketball season usually results in a lot of time to go fishing. Nike took that inspiration and created a Foamposite with the same iridescent shimmer you would find on a fresh. Add a logo of a fish skeleton on the back and you have a new colorway set to release soon. No release date information is available, but you can peep a full look at the upcoming Nike Air Foamposite "Gone Fishing."
Air Jordan 6 Low "Infrared" – Detailed Images
In 2015 Jordan Brand is bringing back the Air Jordan 6 Low and remixing arguably one of the best colorways ever. A hybrid of the White Infrared 6 and Black Infrared 6 looks to be hitting retail later at some point this year. Check out this detailed images below and as soon as we get some release information.
Nike KD 7 "Electric Eel" – Release Date
Take a look at the new Nike KD7 "Electric Eel" ready to get retailers soon. Kevin Durant's seventh signature shoe brings a new unique colorway to the field. Meet the Nike KD 7 "Electric Eel" which features a black and grey upper with lime and blue accents along with some hidden 3M in the graphic print. This "Electric Eel" KD 7's has a set release date on today, March 19th and will retail for only $150.
Nike SB Dunk Low "Dorothy" – In stores now!
Take a look at the Nike SB "Dorothy" concept. A few years back Nike SB would drop a new SB every month, and it looks like they may pursue that strategy. No it won't be the same, but every now and then Nike SB drops a new fresh Dunk. Like this Nike SB's "Dorothy" concept comes from the Wizard of Oz inspired Dorothy Dunk. This is definitely a clean Dunk for spring/summer. If you like what you see you can purchase this colorway at Nike.com.
The first "Calypso" Roshe Run colorway was dubbed a classic by many enthusiasts. Now Nike is back with the color Calypso, but instead of wearing it on the sole, Nike brings it to the upper along with a new style of mesh. This colorway is undeniably fresh and if you don't like it, you're probably a hater. No word on a release date for the US, but if you're in Europe give Titolo guys a shout for your pair. We'll update the Americans when they're available.
