celtics afterthoughts: instant classics are exhausting

Playoffs Game 5
Celtics v. Bulls 106-104
I don’t know about the Celtics, but this first round is exhausting… for me. I’m so tired. Lol. These close games that end in OT or double OT are killing me slowly with a dull rusty dinner fork. I believe I’ve already stated that I hate close games when it [...]

celtics afterthoughts: dear ben gordon

Playoffs Game 4
Celtics @ Bulls 118-121 2OT
Dear Ben Gordon,
I realize hitting a game tying 3-pointer is kind of a big deal. I mean clearly that one that you hit was the first one anyone has hit in the playoffs so far… Oh, it wasn’t? Well, certainly then it must be the first one that has been hit [...]

um, ok… i warned you

Awhile back I threatened the sports blogosphere with a J.J. Redick for Erin Andrews tit for tat (no pun intended). Today, while perusing Ballhype, I stumbled upon this. You were warned. So, you must pay.
Ka-pow! Behold the awesomeness of J.J. Redick!

So, in case you forgot… J.J. Redick > Erin Andrews. I’ve got plenty of J.J. [...]

celtics afterthoughts: found the defense

Playoffs Game 3
Celtics @ Bulls 107-86
I was so not expecting the game that I saw tonight. I figured either Rose/Gordon would go off offensively or Thomas/Noah would throw another block party and it would be another close game. How wrong I was. This was a blowout and got away from the Bulls quickly and they [...]

celtics afterthoughts: boston, we have a problem

Where to start? I’m going to start off by admitting that I have finally taken off my derrick rose colored glasses… we’re in big trouble. I was alarmed when Leon Powe appeared to injure himself (which turned out to be a season ending torn ACL injury) and went back into the locker room, but I went [...]

a couple updates

Beckett’s suspension down to 5 games
Excerpt from ESPN.com:
Josh Beckett’s suspension was reduced from six games to five on Sunday, allowing the Boston Red Sox ace to take his next turn in the rotation.
Beckett threw a pitch near the head of the Los Angeles Angels’ Bobby Abreu last Sunday, leading to both dugouts and bullpens emptying. [...]

celtics afterthoughts: where’s the defense?

I’m not going to jump off a ledge over losing the first game in a seven game series by only two points in overtime. After all, Ray Allen certainly can’t suck any harder offensively going forward even if he tied one arm behind his back, right? But, for the love of green shamrocks and all [...]

this gives me the chills

“Let’s go Boston…”

the nba injury gods are mocking me

This hit me like a ton of bricks.
BOSTON (Reuters) – Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett is unlikely to feature in the playoffs for the NBA champions because of a knee injury, coach Doc Rivers said on Thursday.
“He is not going to be ready (for Saturday’s playoff opener against the Chicago Bulls),” Rivers told Boston’s WEEI [...]
