www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/celtics/view.bg?articleid=1160246&format=textKevin Garnett’s fire lifts Celtics over Memphis Big Ticket looming large in small role By Mark Murphy | Sunday, March 22, 2009 | www.bostonherald.com | Boston Celtics Photo by AP MEMPHIS, Tenn. - OK, so he’s a perfectionist. The Celtics [team stats] had just put together their most impressive run of the game - a 10-0 third-quarter burst that included a pair of baseline jumpers from Kevin Garnett. Even he knew it had to end sometime. At some point, Marko Jaric was going to slip baseline and hit a run-ending layup. But that possession was also Garnett’s last on the floor. Judging from the way he slammed the ball off the floor and shouted something unprintable upon getting called back to the bench, the Celtics forward, in his second game back after a 13-game absence, already wants it all. And he just might get it. The Celtics won their third straight game with last night’s 105-87 roll over the Grizzlies. For the second straight night the Celtics fed off Garnett’s presence in the third quarter, and no one took the spirit more to heart than Glen Davis. And once Garnett got past his initial disappointment, all was well. “I didn’t want to come out,” Garnett said with a smile. “But Doc (Rivers, the C’s coach) and I have a dialogue going, and I’m very open with him. What’s best for me is coming along slowly, though everything seems to be coming along.” After all, this is about the playoffs, not the Grizzlies. “Things will be easier once we get Kevin back to full minutes,” said Rivers, whose team received plenty of help - and ball movement - after a sluggish first half. The Celtics had 30 assists last night, including 16 on 23 baskets in the second half. Davis was the prime beneficiary of that ball movement. Filling in for Garnett, the second-year forward scored a career-high 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting, including one of his most impressive performances to date from mid-range. But that was only natural. Davis is the Celtic most likely to be left open from 17 feet. “Teams don’t look at me as a serious option,” he said. “But I think teams are becoming a little more conscious of my game.” As a result, the C’s withstood the second straight off-night from Paul Pierce [stats]. The Celtics captain followed up a 3-for-16 performance Friday against San Antonio with six points on 2-for-6 shooting last night. But with Davis, Garnett (10 points in 17 minutes) and Ray Allen (20 points, six assists) all in a groove, Pierce didn’t have to worry. Garnett stayed on the floor two minutes longer than planned in the third quarter, and the Celtics received all the juice they needed to pull away. And once he left the game for good under coach’s and doctor’s orders with 2:41 in the third, the Celtics held their ground. The C’s carried a 78-65 lead into the fourth quarter and put the game away with a 7-1 run - keyed by Eddie House’s fourth 3-pointer of the night - to start the final frame. Rookie Bill Walker then put the exclamation point on the win, bringing the house down with a tomahawk dunk off the right baseline for a 94-71 edge. “If you let him, Bill will dunk on anyone,” said Rivers. “You leave him open, and that’s what you’re going to get.”

www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/celtics/view.bg?articleid=1160279&format=textNot much for returning star to improve upon By Mark Murphy / Celtics Notebook | Sunday, March 22, 2009 | www.bostonherald.com | Boston Celtics Photo by AP MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Kevin Garnett’s natural well of energy may count for more than anyone thought. After playing 17 minutes in his second game back after a 13-game absence with a knee injury, there’s not a lot left on the Celtics [team stats] forward’s improvement list. Garnett was asked what he has to work on. “Not much,” Garnett said. “Timing is everything. My wind feels fine. As I get into more minutes I’m sure I’ll have to deal with that more, but there’s nothing I’m terribly concerned about. “I have to show hard on ‘D’ and call out coverages, and I’m not in 48-minute shape yet. But for the most part I’m back in the swing of things.” Coach Doc Rivers plans to increase Garnett’s time tomorrow night at the Garden against the Los Angeles Clippers, though probably not to the degree that the player’s energy could accommodate. “I have some energy, man,” Garnett said as understatement. “I just try to be a presence out there, even though I’m playing limited minutes.” In that respect he’s learned to be patient, though Garnett admitted that he was initially against being sent back to Boston on Feb. 20 to have his knee examined after being injured in a game a night earlier at Utah. “Yeah, and once I calmed down and listened to the powers that be, I realized it was the right thing to do,” he said. “I’ve played through a lot of injuries in my career, though.” Green acres With everyone in this region following the Memphis Tigers in the NCAA tournament, there appeared to be a preponderance of fans in green - and in some cases green face paint - outside the FedEx Forum. “I thought it was St. Patrick’s Day,” Rivers said. . . . O.J. Mayo air-balled a 3-point attempt, and the Grizzlies crowd tortured their own rookie-of-the-year candidate with an “air ball” chant. . . . Though the amount of his winnings were unclear (roughly $300 per duped teammate, according to one who knows), Rajon Rondo [stats] cleaned up prior to the game at the expense of Mikki Moore, Gabe Pruitt and Stephon Marbury. After drawing takers on a bet that he could hit one shot from a courtside seat in three attempts, Rondo swished the ball on his second attempt. Rondo walked farther from the basket, sat on the end of the scorers’ table, and after drawing interest in a boast that he could hit once from that spot in four attempts, banked home his second try. Confident Trojan Pruitt, as fiercely loyal to his alma mater as anyone, didn’t seem to have much doubt about what Southern California would do to Boston College prior to Friday night’s first-round NCAA game. Once Pruitt heard the result, the C’s guard quietly nodded his head. “That’s as it should be,” Pruitt said of the Trojans’ 17-point win. “I knew they were going to win by a lot.” . . . Rivers, who admittedly hasn’t paid as much attention to this year’s tournament with his son, Jeremiah, sitting out a year after transferring from Georgetown to Indiana, was particularly unfamiliar with the just-eliminated Eagles. “Yeah, Boston College has that little guard, right?” Rivers said of the Eagles senior point guard Tyrese Rice. . . . Ray Allen winced at the sight of the Spurs’ Tony Parker missing four straight crunch-time free throws Friday. Allen said: “You obviously don’t want to root for him, but I don’t ever wish for someone to miss free throws in that situation.”

www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/celtics/view.bg?articleid=1160219&format=textCeltics dancer towers over her squad Green giant By Renee Nadeau | Sunday, March 22, 2009 | www.bostonherald.com | Boston Celtics Photo by Stuart Cahill Celtics dancer Courtney Kenihan stands head and shoulders above the rest, holding the NBA record for tallest cheerleader. At 6-foot--inch, the Celtics [team stats] sweetie sticks out in a crowd, although maybe not when standing next to Kevin Garnett or Paul Pierce [stats]. “I see more eye-to-eye with the players than the girls on my own team,” said Kenihan, 21. A Suffolk University senior from Laguna Beach, Calif., Kenihan competed for a spot during the team’s first national auditions in 2006. Her height had quashed her hopes at past dance auditions, adding to her nerves at her tryout in Arizona, where she was studying dance at University of Arizona. “Dancers generally are shorter, smaller people, especially in the NBA,” she said. But the Celts embraced her stature, and after settling in the Hub, so has the lanky Kenihan. “I never really accepted my height until I moved here,” she said. “Since coming here, I’ve decided I like wearing heals. I’m over being taller than guys.” However, Kenihan has decided not to pursue a career in dance. Her days with the Celts squad set her on a path to a love for broadcast journalism. She wasn’t always a newshound, but interviews and public events with her team sparked a passion for broadcasting, which she began chasing at Suffolk in January 2006. Balancing a full-time class schedule, work on a Suffolk television news show, a radio internship and her crowd-rallying duties for the NBA champs is quite a juggling act, she said. “My day planner is probably my life,” she said. “I’m not sleeping very often, and it’s the worst thing you can do.” Kenihan said the second-tallest member of her squad is about four or five inches shorter than she is. An NBA spokesman said the organization does not keep track of dancers’ heights, but Kenihan maintains she is tops. “There are basketball players who are shorter than I am in the NBA, which most girls can’t say,” she said.

www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/other_nba/view.bg?articleid=1160266&format=textThis House has a strong foundation By Mark Murphy | Sunday, March 22, 2009 | www.bostonherald.com | NBA Coverage Photo by Matt Stone Eddie House’s response last week to twisting an ankle -- “I’ll be fine” --is something of a mantra for him. As someone who has been a third guard for most of his career, the Celtics [team stats] bombardier’s resiliency doesn’t get noticed as much as, say, Paul Pierce [stats]. But House’s ironman track record is gaining attention now that an Arizona State player -- Jeff Pendergraph -- has closed in on a small part of House’s Sun Devils legacy. Pendergraph, a guard, recently broke House’s ASU record for starts (115) with his 116th. But House has eight more school records, including the Pac-10 single-game scoring record of 61 points, which he shares with a player you might have heard of -- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then known as Lew Alcindor. As of last week, Pendergraph had an outside chance of catching House’s games played record (124), which would also be quite the achievement, considering that House never missed a game at Arizona State, from his freshman through his senior seasons. House’s other ASU records include made free throws in a game (18), single-season scoring average (23.0), single-season field goal attempts (623), career points (2,044), career field goals made (763), career steals (258) and career field goal attempts (1,795). But the numbers pale next to the pain House withstood to post them. He played through many injuries -- including a broken jaw as a junior. “And he still talked trash the whole time,” said Doug Tammaro, ASU’s director of media relations. There’s more. As a freshman, House chipped several teeth during an afternoon game in the Great Alaska Shootout, had three root canals that night, and came back the next day to drop seven 3-pointers on Maine in a noontime game.

www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2009/03/22/its_time_well_spent_for_garnett_celtics?mode=PFIt's time well spent for Garnett, Celtics By Frank Dell'Apa, Globe Staff | March 22, 2009 MEMPHIS - The remainder of the Celtics' regular-season games have been programmed as glorified rehabilitation nights for Kevin Garnett. But Garnett appeared to be capable of accelerating the process during a 17-minute stint in a 105-87 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies last night. And Garnett, recovering from a knee injury he suffered Feb. 19 at Utah, could play even more minutes when the Celtics (53-18) host the Los Angeles Clippers tomorrow. "I had some energy," Garnett said. "I'm just trying to be a presence out there, trying to get my team an edge, even though I'm playing limited minutes." Garnett exceeded the 14-minute quota in his second game back and seemed willing to continue playing before coach Doc Rivers called a timeout late in the third quarter. "Doc and I have a dialogue and it's very open, along with the trainers," Garnett said. "So I already knew what it was . . . just trying to give my all while I'm in there. At this stage, what seems to be best for me is going slow and playing where needed. At this point every [thing] is cautious, the fix-it stage, if you will. And I'm not going to jeopardize any of that. Just trying to get back healthy and being as strong as I can be for when it really counts." Garnett returned for an 80-77 win at San Antonio Friday, both games also serving to reacquaint the starters with their defensive rotations. Garnett got those rotations into gear. The Grizzlies sustained field goal droughts of 4:07, 4:07, and 5:56 in the second half. The Celtics went on 6-0 and 10-0 runs with Garnett in the lineup early in the second half, then 10-1 and 9-2 runs without Garnett. Garnett scored 10 points and his replacement, Glen Davis, scored a career-high 24. Captain Paul Pierce, who has been on the verge of being overworked lately, took much of the night off. Pierce (6 points) followed a 3 for 16 shooting performance in San Antonio with a 2 for 6 game in 30 minutes against the Grizzlies. Hakim Warrick scored 20 points for Memphis, which lost its fourth straight overall and sixth in a row at home. Garnett exceeded the prescribed seven-minute limit in the opening quarter, scoring 4 points on 2 for 3 shooting in the first 8:15 before being replaced by Mikki Moore. Garnett might have gone out earlier, but Kendrick Perkins committed his second personal foul early and was replaced by Davis. Garnett's playing time increased to nearly nine minutes in the third quarter. "He looked great, he's getting better and better," Rivers said of Garnett. "He clearly could have played more and he was a little frustrated when we took him out. That's a good sign because he's not sore at all. The next step will be the next game - we don't know the minutes, but we want to play him more." The Celtics found a groove early in the second before Garnett departed after an 8:52 stint. O.J. Mayo cut the Memphis deficit to 54-52 on a fast-break dunk 88 seconds into the half. But Rajon Rondo and Garnett layups, followed by a Ray Allen jumper, made it 60-52 with 8:45 remaining in the third quarter. A Mike Conley runner pulled the Grizzlies to 62-59 with 7:19 remaining. Then, a Pierce left-hand drive started a 10-point roll over a 3:12 span. Allen converted a tip-in, Garnett consecutive jumpers off Rondo feeds, and Perkins a hook for a 72-59 edge with 3:50 remaining. "The first half, I thought we executed pretty much," Garnett said. "We let them get back in the game and get confident. The third quarter, we did a better job taking things away and being more assertive and it seemed to work." Davis, who converted the clinching points with a jumper against San Antonio, converted two 3-point plays, dunked over Darko Milicic, and keyed the Celtics pick-and-roll play in the second quarter. "The urgency rose in the third quarter," Rivers said. "We just traded baskets with them in the first half. Our offense played good, but we just didn't have much energy on either end in the first half. "The second half was a professional effort. Our guys came out and played with a great defensive focus and that allowed us to score. We moved the ball and played together and made the extra pass."

www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2009/03/22/with_davis_hot_they_have_plenty_in_reserve?mode=PFWith Davis hot, they have plenty in reserve By Frank Dell'Apa, Globe Staff | March 22, 2009 MEMPHIS - Glen Davis might have experienced a career-changing 24 hours during this road trip. Davis scored the clinching points in an 80-77 victory at San Antonio Friday night and went for a career-high 24 points in a 105-87 victory over Memphis last night. "Any shot is easy to make when you know the team has confidence in you," Davis said, "when your teammates know you can hit the big shot, any shot." Asked about his career-high point total, Davis said: "I wasn't really paying attention, I was just playing. I hope I can get another one soon. I don't think teams really look at me as a serious option, but as I gain more experience I can hit those shots." Davis had been in the starting lineup while Kevin Garnett recovered from a right knee strain. But Davis returned to a reserve role in the last two games. "He's just doing his job and spotting up to his area," coach Doc Rivers said of Davis. "When he floats outside of his area, those are the front of the rim shots. But, when he catches it in his shooting zone he makes his shot. He's going to be the guy open a lot with the other guys collapsing the defense." Seems like old times Garnett, who sustained a right knee strain in a 90-85 loss at Utah Feb. 19, seems to have barely missed a beat. "Wind feels fine, I want to get into more minutes," Garnett said. "I'm sure my minutes are going to go up. I'm picking up the ball with [Rajon] Rondo and causing turnovers, showing hard on defense, calling out the coverages. And you just don't do that when you are out of shape or don't have the lungs to do that. "I'm in decent shape, just probably not 48-minute shape. If Doc needed me play 48, I could do it off just sheer will but I can't say I'll be productive. But you will have 100 percent effort. But for the most part I'm back in the swing of things, I know my role here, I'm not going outside of that - being aggressive on the defensive end, talking, being a presence, whether that was blocking shots, talking very loudly, taking up the ball and doubling the ball. All the things I've done that have been successful for me." Garnett said he wanted to continue playing after the injury, flying to Phoenix with the team, but then returning to Boston. "Once I calmed down and reality set in, it was probably best I did listen to people," Garnett said. "The powers that be set me down and it was a lot worse than what I thought it was, actually, the MRI showed that. "But it's just being competitive, man, just being a beast and trying to go out and play through anything. In my career I've been able to play through a lot of different injuries that you guys have no idea about. As you get older, some of those things come out of the shadow but I'm learning to deal with that." Rivers said Garnett could play an extra four minutes at the start of the second quarter and four more at the start of the fourth when the Celtics host the Clippers Monday. "There was a five-minute stretch [Friday] night in the third quarter where I said, 'Hey, that's the Celtics,' " Rivers said. "I felt like our team was back. You could actually see it for that one stretch - Kevin was sprinting the floor, the ball was moving, we were getting stops, It reminded me of the team we had a month ago and it was good to see. But we have a lot of work to do as well trying to get the starters back in their rhythm together." Passing marks The Celtics were credited with 30 assists against Memphis, led by Rondo's 10, six from Ray Allen, and four from Stephon Marbury. "Every time we have 30 assists we win," Allen said. "The bad scenario for us is when we have less than 20 assists and we are struggling, and that makes it harder on our defense."

Photos -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Weber/Associated Press Celtics guard Stephon Marbury tries to get a shot off against Memphis' Marko Jaric during Boston's win over the Grizzlies. Associated Press Posted Mar 21, 2009 @ 11:00 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEMPHIS — Glen Davis scored 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting, and the Boston Celtics pulled away in the second half for a 105-87 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies last night. Ray Allen added 20 points and six assists, while Eddie House contributed 15 points as the Celtics won their third straight overall and fifth in a row over the Grizzlies. Kevin Garnett, still playing limited minutes in his second game back from a right knee injury, scored 10 points and grabbed four rebounds in 17 minutes. Paul Pierce, Boston's leading scorer with 20.5 points per game, was limited to six on 2-of-6 shooting. Hakim Warrick scored 20 points for Memphis, which dropped its sixth straight at home and fourth in a row overall. Rudy Gay finished with 15 points on just 5-of-15 shooting, while O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley scored 12 apiece. The Celtics broke open a close game at halftime by outscoring Memphis 26-17 in the third quarter. Then Boston opened the fourth quarter with a 14-4 run to lead by 23. At that point, Allen, Pierce and Garnett were done for the night, and the reserves played out the final quarter. Memphis was able to stay close in the first half, despite Boston shooting better than 50 percent in the early going. In fact, both teams were making better than half their shots by intermission, the Celtics shooting 53 percent, while the Grizzlies were at 51 percent. Memphis held its biggest lead of the half at 41-37 before the Celtics clicked off an 8-2 run, building a 52-48 lead at the break. Memphis was getting its points inside, holding a 24-14 advantage in the paint, while Boston was doing its damage from long range, connecting on six of its 11 shots from outside the arc. Davis got untracked off the Boston bench, hitting five of his seven shots and going 5-of-6 on free throws for 15 points in the half, while Allen added 13. Warrick had 12 to lead Memphis. Neither team led by more than five, and there were 11 ties and 16 lead changes in the first half alone. The second half would not be near that close. The Celtics eventually got some breathing room in the third when consecutive jumpers from the left baseline by Garnett gave Boston its first double-digit lead of the night at 70-59. Kendrick Perkins' 5-footer capped 10 consecutive points for the Celtics. At that point, Garnett, who is playing about 7 minutes per half while recovering from the right knee strain, was on the bench. But the Celtics maintained the lead, carrying a 78-65 advantage into the fourth. Notes: Celtics coach Doc Rivers said before the game that he will try to extend Garnett's minutes tomorrow night against the Clippers. Garnett, who played 15 minutes on Friday night, logged 17 minutes against the Grizzlies. ... Allen missed the second of two free throws with 2:41 left in the third, breaking a string of 57 straight. Allen has made 129 of his last 131 from the line. ... House entered the game shooting 56 percent (60-of-108) from outside the arc over the last 27 games. He went 4-of-9 against the Grizzlies.

www.metrowestdailynews.com/sports/pros_and_colleges/x706337845/Courtside-View-Cs-look-to-regain-rhythm-for-playoffsCourtside View: C's look to regain rhythm for playoffs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Scott Souza/Daily News staff MetroWest Daily News Posted Mar 21, 2009 @ 09:01 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celtics coach Doc Rivers was stating the obvious minutes before Wednesday's home game against the Heat. Yet the acknowledgement that the Celtics were no longer in contention for the best record in the Eastern Conference was perhaps a necessary moment of clarity. For six months, homecourt advantage in the playoffs had been the goal. For all but the past two weeks, the pursuit had been a realistic one. But amid a torrent of injuries and an unforgiving schedule, the taillights of the Cavaliers dimmed in the foreground, while the headlights of the Magic glared in the rear. Rivers said the team was now in survival mode. On a night when five players from the main rotation - including two of the Big 3 - were out of the lineup, and two more starters were coming off ankle injuries, the armor surrounding the defending world champions suddenly seemed tattered and worn. The question was whether it was beyond repair. Now they have four weeks before the posteseason to find out. Four weeks to find out whether a healthy Kevin Garnett can restore the defense to being one of the NBA's best after a month of porous play. Four weeks to get an overworked Paul Pierce some needed rest so he can shoulder the type of load he did during last year's title run. Four weeks to figure out whether Stephon Marbury and Mikki Moore can find roles in the system on the fly. Four weeks to determine whether Tony Allen, Brian Scalabrine and Leon Powe can recover from late-season injuries and reestablish their spots in the rotation. Four weeks to find out whether the champs can go into Cleveland and Los Angeles, and maybe even Orlando, win at least one game, and defend a title. While the answers will reveal in stages over the next few months, some encouraging hints came over the past four days. On Wednesday night, a short-handed Celtics team playing on the second night of a back-to-back leaned heavily on Pierce and Rajon Rondo for an inspired overtime victory over the Heat. Two days later, after a long trip to San Antonio, the Celtics welcomed back Garnett and landed the final blow against the second-best team in the Western Conference on a Glen Davis baseline jumpe. In the game of survivor, the Celtics proved quite worthy contenders. Now they know they will have to come off the pace to land in the winner's circle again. After a busy early season schedule, and a brutal stretch of five games in seven days last week, the Celtics will catch a break over the final four weeks. After they attempt to avenge last month's numbing loss in Los Angeles against the Clippers at home tomorrow night, one big regular-season matchup remains Wednesday at Orlando with the second seed in the Eastern Conference perhaps at stake. Then after they return from Atlanta Friday night, they play only five times over the next 14 days with all five games at home. By the time Boston travels to Cleveland on April 12, it likely won't be the ultimate pre-playoff showdown many anticipated, but one in a series of tune-ups for teams whose postseason seedings have already been determined. After a whole season of having targets on their backs, and injury fortunes that were so generous last year turning on them, the schedule finally gives them a chance to get right. Plenty of days for practice, with still plenty of time for rest. By the end of it, plenty of opportunity to reload for a repeat run. It's not a matter of turning it on for the playoffs, because this team gave few indications this season it ever turned off the switch to fall back on the banner laurels. The competition was simply better and the obstacles along the way more daunting. Yet the sentiment in the locker room is that, once everyone gets healthy, it will still be the team to beat no matter what the seed. That players such as Kendrick Perkins and Davis, who have had to take on more during this trying stretch, will be better for it. That a player like Garnett may benefit in the long run from forced rest the same way he did last season. The Celtics have taken a lot of shots this campaign and have certainly felt the effects. The toll has shown on the court and in the record. But thus far they have avoided the type of blow that might have sent them into the playoffs with irreparable damage. Upon conceding regular-season supremacy to the Cavs, Rivers said Wednesday that the Celtics know what the picture of what they should be and can be for the playoff run looks like, they just need to get the pieces back to put it in place. With four weeks to go, and Garnett back in uniform, construction is under way.
