the nba injury gods are mocking me

April 16th, 2009 michelle View Comments

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 radio. “There is no way he can play.

“After going through all the rehab and looking so good last week … to where he’s at today, if he can’t get through biking and working out without swelling and stiffness, I just don’t know how he can play in the playoffs.”

I just don’t know what to think now. I really hate it that the national media, hell the nation, thinks the Celtics are done. The San Francisco Chronicle actually wrote:

Garnett’s Injury Dooms Celtics
San Francisco Chronicle – ‎1 hour ago‎
The Cleveland Cavaliers just won the Eastern Conference title. 

Say what?

Somebody please tell me it’s not going to be that clear cut. My stubborn streak is coming out and I refuse to go down without a fight. So dance to your Rick Astley, Cleveland, but it won’t be as easy as you think. As God is my witness, the north will rise again! *shaking fist at the sky*

celtics afterthoughts: sit the fu(|< down!

April 12th, 2009 michelle View Comments

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 by 31 points. I feel like they decided weeks ago that the rest of this season didn’t matter and have been playing like that. I think they think they can get KG back and then “flip a switch” for the playoffs like the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs have done in the past. I have never liked the flip switching gamble, but I guess if it works, I’ll be a true believer.

Celtics v. Heat 105-98

Saw this one in person from literally the worst seats in the building. I went to the game with my mom and our seats ended up being in the last row. Literally the last row up in the rafters, can’t go any higher, last row. I got vertigo. My mom ended up sitting next to a beam and was so freaked out about going past the beam that I had to coax her past it for a full two minutes. Then I sat down and looked down and almost lost it myself. It was like watching a basketball game from a helicopter. I will literally pay a million dollars next season to get tickets that are not in the balcony. We eventually got acclimated and enjoyed the game on the Jumbotron (LOL), but then we had to contend with two drunk girls and a mother and son blocking our views by jumping up and down during time outs hoping to get on the stupid jumbotron and waving foam fingers in our faces. I yelled “sit the fu(|< down!” a couple of times, but they were oblivious. The game itself was a little so-so. I was happy for the win, but it just didn’t seem like they were 100% into it. It feels like they’re already thinking playoffs. Ah well, a win is a win and it’s always a blast being around an entire arena full of Celtics fans. My favorite people in the world.

Oh! I almost forgot. I got to see little Daylon Trotman dacing during one of the timeouts. So adorable. There was another kid dancing with him though. I don’t approve. I think Daylon should get the aisle all to himself.

Celtics v. Nets 106-104

I miss Gino. And KG. We used to kill teams like this at home and then party like it’s 1999 with Gino on the jumbotron. I miss that!

baby mama drama

March 31st, 2009 michelle View Comments

Disclaimer: This is a frivilous post that is meant to distract from the earth-shatteringly awful news today about KG sitting out another big chunk of games.

Tom Brady is having full-on baby mama drama as his supermodel wife makes controversial comments in recent Vanity Fair interview. The Early Show with the details:

Bündchen reveals that she knows the boy, named John Edward Thomas Moynahan, has a mother and she respects that, but it doesn’t matter that Bündchen didn’t actually give birth to him, because Bündchen still feels like he’s her son.

In her own words, “To me, it’s not like, because somebody delivered him, that’s not my child — I feel like it is, 100 percent.”

Oh no she didn’t! Cue the impending baby mama beatdown as we wait with bated breath for Bridget to respond…

Ok fine. This is a stupid story. Who cares? It’s a good thing that she loves Tom’s kid, right? Sure, it is.

The real pressing concern is and will always be this… CHOOSE A DAMN BASEBALL TEAM, Tom! For the love of Josh Beckett and all this is holy, at least Lebron James has the decency to pick one team — sure, he picked Satan’s team — but at least he picked only one and is consistent with it. I’ve seen you make the right choice (Red Sox), the correct choice (Red Sox), the ONLY choice (Red Sox) before, so let’s keep that up and burn those others, k babe?

Thank you and good day, Sir. I said, good day!

celtics afterthoughts: so not a rivalry

March 29th, 2009 michelle View Comments

Celtics @ Hawks 99-93

Celtics seemed to have this one from the jump. Ahead the whole game, at times by a pretty healthy margin. Hawks made a run in the 4th that was a little scary, but in the end, the Celtics won by 6 and all was right with the world. Pre-game, there was a little buzz surrounding some comments Rondo made to the media about the Hawks not being much of a rival. Shouldn’t have been a surprise though, since KG said the same thing the last few times someone asked him about the so-called “rivalry” with the Hawks. It’s kind of like Shaq/Oden and Lebron/Deshawn. At this juncture, the Hawks are a low-level ninja named Soulja Boy.

celtics afterthoughts: kg, our savior

Disclaimer: About half-way through writing this post, my HD cable box decided to $h*t the bed. I was so rattled, that it’s entirely possible that one or more thoughts below is less thought out than it would normally be. Lol. So if I said anything more inane than usual, don’t blame me. Blame COMCAST. My new archnemesis. I’m stuck watching the rest of the Bulls/Pistons and entire Jazz/whoever they’re playing on regular non-HD television. Blah.

Celtics v. Clippers 90-77

There are certain times during Celtics games where I’m convinced that Doc Rivers is trying to kill me slowly with a tiny rusty kitchen fork. Why is that, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. I never, I mean ever, want to see the following five players on the floor together at the same time, under any circumstances: Marbury, House, Walker, Moore and Davis. Just say no. This was one of those typically annoying games where you start off feeling pretty confident and good about yourself — until you realize the Clippers are ahead because you’ve pissed away a 12-point lead thanks to the aforementioned rotation. Ray Allen kind of took this game on his back somewhere in the 3rd quarter and a nice tidy blowout ensued. I really thought I was going to get to see Gino because when we came back from commercial I heard his theme song… but alas, it was not to be. All I could spy on the jumbotron were random dorks in green jumping around waving. Haha, that will be me on April 10th!

Celtics @ Grizzlies 105-87

I watched this game, didn’t I? Actually, I think I DVR’ed it and only watched highlights. Nothing special really stands out for me about this game other than it was another game with KG and another win for the Celtics.

Celtics @ Spurs 80-77

Before this game, I was positive we were going to lose it. How’s that for confidence? Hehe. Well, we were sucking it up pretty good before that game arrived, so it’s not like I had no reason to worry. Earlier in the day though, I heard KG might play, but I still wasn’t sure that would make a big enough difference. After all, KG had been out for awhile, he had to be a little rusty, right? Wrong! He was sensational and made a huge impact on the game. It’s strange because last season, I didn’t notice the difference as much between games with KG and games without. I’m not sure why it’s different this year, but it is and in a big way. I think the rest of the team feeds off of his temperment and energy now more than ever. I know they all want to win another championship, but after the grind of last year’s post-season, I would have to imagine they’re dealing with some mental fatigue.

welcome back, kg!

I’m watching pre-game and word is that both KG and Ray will play tonight! Whoo hoo!! Whether we win or not, I’m just happy we have our defensive stopper and heart & soul back! Yayyyy! Doc says he’s only going to play KG about 5-7 minutes in the 1st Q and 5-7 in the 3rd. He said if it’s a 3-point game in the 4th, he still won’t play KG more minutes and will tie him down if he has to. Haha, I’d love to see him try.
