Boston Celtics NBA Sport




Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics are a professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They play in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Founded in 1946, the team is currently owned by Boston Basketball Partners L.L.C. and coached by Doc Rivers, with Danny Ainge as the President of Basketball Operations. The Celtics' 17 NBA Championships are the most for any NBA franchise. The Celtics' greatest domination came from 1957 to 1969, with 11 championships in 13 years, and eight in a row (1959–1966), the longest consecutive championship winning streak of any North American professional sports team. They currently play their home games at TD Garden.

The Celtics either dominated the league or played a large part in the playoffs in the late 1950s through the mid 1980s (winning 16 NBA Championships in 30 years between 1957 and 1986, and reaching at least the conference championship series in 29 of 35 seasons between 1953 and 1988). After the deaths of the second overall draft pick Len Bias in 1986 and all-star Reggie Lewis in 1993, the team fell into a steady decline, only making the playoffs four times from 1996 to 2007. The franchise has recently returned to prominence when Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen joined Paul Pierce during the 2007 off-season. Four Celtics (Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, Dave Cowens, and Larry Bird) have won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award for an NBA record total of 10 MVP awards.

Should we be happy?

It seems obvious to say "yes, of course, but not everyone agrees. NME has recently conducted a blog by Rick Martin, who claimed (in series), he was still so easy to go along the path of the Dodo and small music stores may disappear too happy, and with them As he says, "socially inadequate, contemptuous twerps ", which are usually personnel.

Maybe this is my (average) age, but the music shops and turntables will always be a special call pink. I'm not particularly interested in +the debate about whether the music sounds better than using digital sources. It's horses for courses - you can use the hard disk player and speakers at Cheam home by train.

And I must admit, it must be months since I used my player - to listen to the album Bill Broonzy is not available in digital format.
