locker room camaraderie

Whenever my team struggles, I almost always suspect it has more to do with the between the ears stuff than anything else. Mainly because with a team full of present and future all-stars, there’s no way the problem is talent, so it has to be something else. This season, I keep hearing: 1) They’re old! 2) [...]

have you seen this man?

Last seen: On the jumbotron at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
Responds to: “Gino”, winning score at the two minute mark, Bee Gees.
Reward: If found by the playoffs, I will grant the finder one crisp benjamin dollar bill. $

kaboom, the apocolypse

I had a horrible nightmare over the weekend, where the following events occurred:

Two ravens named Ray flew in my window, found my Cheerios and promptly peed all over them.
Pete Carroll lost his mind and quit USC to fly to Washington and cavort with some seahawks.
Duke got stung by a giant bumblebee. [Or yellow jacket. What-ev.]
Some young, athletic [...]

not as bad as the david tyree catch, but still

I’m working from home today. On days that I work from home, I commonly watch ESPN2. Yes, both airings of First Take. Normally, it’s just Skip & whoever bantering about LeBrick James and/or Ocho Stinko — you know, enjoyable. But on days following one of my team’s losses, it’s brutal. Today… it was this:

They kept [...]

on the muse’s mind – week of 11/30

Here is what the muse™ is thinking about this week:
A chin length bob would look cute on me right about now
* [BOS 108, CHA 90] It may be too early to decide the Celtics are out of their slump and cut my hair — I mean we beat the Bobcats and they aren’t exactly the [...]

the celtics are in a funk

There are worse things than losing to the Orlando Magic. I have to admit, this season they are pretty good. Especially on offense. Holy crap, that team can score. But…
There aren’t worse things than losing to the Orlando Magic or any team on your home court. If you’re a so-called “elite” team, it just shouldn’t [...]

f#%k your rookies

I heard a story on TBJ today about KG being asked about meeting some of the Pacers rookies over the summer to which he replied, “Fuck your rookies.”
Which reminded me of a random conversation w/Mom last week.
Me: I can’t believe we lost to the Pacers.
Mom: You know who did it, right? Who had a good [...]

celtics duringthoughts – gsw @ bos

I can’t seem to work up the energy to post my “afterthoughts” after games anymore, so I’m going to attempt to blog during the game — hence the assinine new heading, ”duringthoughts.”
1st quarter thoughts:

I had no idea that Mikki Moore had landed with Golden State. When I realized it before the game, I immediately liked our [...]

those celtics sure can boogie

Ever wonder what the Celtics starting five would look like hip hop dancing in elf costumes? Well, thanks to Jib Jab’s Elf Yourself, wonder no more!

on the muse’s mind – week of 11/02

Here is what the muse™ is thinking about this week:
Rondo gets paid
* So Rajon Rondo may like to fight with people. I’m ready and willing to admit that it’s a distinct possibility that he’s a tiny bit of a douchbag. But, you know what? He’s our douchebag and we’re keeping him!
Is there anything more obnoxious [...]
