celtics v. cavs – we have ourselves a rivalry

Ladies and germs, we finally have an Eastern conference rivalry worth talking about. Shocking really. I thought the Celtics biggest Eastern conference rival was going to be the Pistons. Au contraire, mofraire! Lebron and his merry band of jesters have stepped to the plate and not a moment too soon. Lots of bad blood in the [...]

Celtics @ Cavs 76-107

The Celtics got their asses kicked. Facts are facts. I’m surprised they didn’t put up more of a fight, but I was a little worried when Orlando handed them the 2nd seed before this game was even played. I expected they would probably lose to the Cavs on their home court, just not [...]

c.c. sabathia wishes he was josh beckett

Ahem. STILL not a rivalry. So let’s stop [...]

NBA > Ray Allen Game Winner vs Bobcats 4-1-2009 by NewEnglandSportsDude

the winner is… maine red claws

Haha, it figures. When I first posted about the Maine NBA D-League team that was going to be accepting fan votes to help name them, the one name that jumped out at me as being clearly ridiculous was “Red Claws.” Of course, that’s the name that ends up winning. I laughed out loud this morning [...]

the real leon powe thinks twitter is weird

Shortly after Paul Pierce (@paulpierce34) joined Twitter and gained a gaggle of followers, I noticed that people were also starting to follow/@ reply/re-tweet accounts purporting to belong to Stephon Marbury (@starburymarbury) and Leon Powe. I’m always skeptical about new NBA players appearing on Twitter and like to get some kind of confirmation before I get excited about [...]
