| | Unable or unwilling?
It’s a question we’ve been asking all season with the Celtics, and it is the operative query as they drool all over themselves on the way to the playoffs.
From this vantage point, the Scales of Shamrock tilt nauseatingly toward the latter. Watching the Grizzlies repeatedly beat them to loose balls in Wednesday’s loss was nothing less than an...

| | Once upon a time, the Celtics were tough. Once upon a time, they intimidated opponents with their relentless defense.
Indeed, the Celts used to be scarier than a Toyota in the rear view mirror.
But that has changed.

Glen Davis draws Bucks’ ire

| | An unruly guest, in the eyes of the Bucks at least, just might have helped Milwaukee get its house in order last night.
Technical fouls were called on Bucks rookie guard Brandon Jennings and Glen Davis when the latter hard-fouled the former with 8:03 left to play and the Celtics leading, 70-68.
Jennings stood over the fallen Davis in a menacing pose, and Big Baby jumped up,...

Relentless defense critical to Celtics

| | If the Celtics don’t establish a consistently higher level of play and go on to make a serious run at the championship, they might regret their actions from the final six minutes Sunday.
By playing with their old toughness and intensity, they outscored the Wizards 20-4 and won. In so doing, the Celts reminded their followers of the game that lurks inside them. They have thus given...

Celtics star in late drama

| | It’s probably fitting that on Oscar night the Celtics saved their best moments for the final pages of the screenplay. Just for the dramatic effect, you understand.
Staring at another home loss to a lottery-bound team - another night in “The Hurt Locker,” if you will - the Celts began reciting lines from that championship season and stole an 86-83 win from Washington....

| | The Celtics got their man - finally - when Michael Finley formally agreed yesterday to sign with the club as a free agent.
The Celts have tried to acquire the 6-foot-7 swingman in the past, and their latest opportunity came Wednesday after Finley cleared waivers following his buyout by San Antonio.
According to Finley’s representative, the process moved swiftly after that.

| Those troubles of the last two months claimed an unintended casualty. The Celtics’ queasy habits led to the shelving of Gino.
There hasn’t been much time for the bearded disco icon’s dance video during this season of blown leads and negligible defense.
Imagine Kevin Garnett’s delight, then, last night when his team momentarily buried both issues during a...

Nate Robinson helps C’s nix Pistons

| | They shouldn’t be working this hard against mediocre competition.
That the Celtics work hard, period, is not an issue. That players like Will Bynum, Jonas Jerebko and Austin Daye push this alleged championship-caliber unit to the limit demands an investigation.
But at least this time they saved their best work for the right moment. At least the bench, with Nate Robinson showing...

| | After making an inquiry on Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the Celtics now are looking into whether Michael Finley might be interested in joining the club.
According to league sources, the C’s are in the market to add to their roster and last night were awaiting the final list from the league of players bought out by the deadline.
In the case of Ilgauskas, the Celts found what has been...

| | As they stand now - wobbly as the aftershocks of Saturday’s loss to the New Jersey ne’er-do-wells still reverberate - the Celtics are masters of their own fate. Or demise.
Ray Allen noted that no cavalry is coming over the hill to the rescue. About the only substantive change the club could make now would be, in anticipation of greater doom, to fire team physician Brian...
