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) [...]

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 [...]

kg is back, rawr! (and other musings)

I’m back, motherf—ers!
* Boston.com: “But Garnett was not just grinning yesterday, following his first official practice since surgery. He was the gregarious, guffawing Garnett. Patellas and popliteus tendons were forgotten. Garnett trained at full speed, along with everyone else, through about three-quarters of the two-hour workout.” [Read the full article: Full speed ahead for Garnett]

* Nat from Heels on Hardwood was nice enough to ask me to write up a Celtics preview for her blog. It was fun to actually start thinking about basketball again. This off-season has been crazy long. You can scope that out @ Heels on Hardwood – Match Ups – Toronto Raptors [...]

you’ll pry perk and rondo from my cold dead hands

These silly season rumors are giving me fits. It seemed like the very minute game 7 finished and the Celtics went fishing in Dingle, Ireland, people started speculating about who isn’t going to be back next year. Thoughts immediately flashed through my brain. Will they keep Leon or Big Baby? The answer is clear, simple and finite. [...]

nba musings: die by the 3

NBA Finals Game 1
Lakers v. Magic 100-75
This game was a classic “die by the 3″ game. The Lakers defense was part of it, but the Magic also missed a ton of wide open shots. Simply put, the Magic are who we thought they were. The key to me was how the Lakers controlled Dwight. When Dwight [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
