celtics afterthoughts: what is this, a scrimmage?

Celtics @ Bulls 121-127
Doing my best Chandler Bing impression, I ask you, “Could this game be any more annoying?” First of all, whose bright idea was it to market all that St. Patrick’s Day NBA swag? It’s stupid. The Lakers and Pistons gear in particular just look all WRONG in green. Not to mention, their [...]

t.j. simers knows me so well

I really love this column. I’m not being facetious, I really love it. In fact, I’m surprised someone out in la la land didn’t write it sooner. I’ve been waiting for someone in LA to articulate what I knew they’ve been thinking about the Manny situation:
When Manny Ramirez reported for Dodgers duty he tried to [...]

celtics afterthoughts: come back kg, come back

Celtics @ Milwaukee 77-86
The Celtics tend to suck it up Sundays at 1pm. They seem to really need to stay on their schedule and the games that step out of that really don’t work for them. Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s home or away. Our offense looked awful. Actually it’s looked pretty awful to [...]

in case you missed it…

I defy you to watch this and not get a little teary.

c’mon paul, tsk tsk

I’m late with this, but I’m still compelled to discuss it. I’m definitely in the minority, but I’m a little turned off by Paul Pierce blowing off that little kid in the Cavs jersey. If you missed it, during the Celtics/Cavs game, Paul Pierce game out of the game to loud fanfare and was high-fiving [...]

knee jerks, put down your pitchforks

Ok, stop the insanity. Every time there’s a flagrant foul these days, the crowd grabs their pitchforks and starts storming the town square. Just stop it. There should be a rule that says that any fan whose player is involved on either side of a flagrant has to wait 24 hours before commenting on it. [...]

celtics afterthoughts: highs and lows

Celtics v. Magic 79-86
I was cooking up a stir-fry during the pre-game live show on Comcast and when I heard that Rondo was out, I almost chopped my finger off with the Ginsu. Actually, I was ok until they said Marbury was starting. Wha wha what? Marbury is starting? Why? The guy has only played [...]

@freedarko - [...]

manny finally signs, national nightmare ends

They can say whatever they want, but Manny Ramirez and Scott Boras lost. “Gas is up and so am I.” No. You’re not. As Bill Plaschke pointed out in the Los Angeles Times:
He wanted as many as five years — he agreed to less than half of that.
He wanted as much as $100 million — [...]

fans will help name d-league team

This is cool and all, but it could go horribly horribly wrong. These are the options for Maine’s NBA Development League team (which will most likely be affiliated with the Boston Celtics):

Maine Beacons- The Beacons is a tribute to the more than 60 lighthouses in Maine that guide ships safely to shore, like our coaches will guide [...]
