celtics afterthoughts – 2009/2010 inaugural edition

Celtics 95, Cavs 89
Where to start, where to start… Well, first of all, HELL TO THE YEAH! I’m not gonna lie. I wanted this win bad. Probably more than I should have, in fact. It’s only the first game of the season and I really should pace myself. I think the reason I wanted the [...]

will live streaming be the downfall of civilization?

…and is there a 12-step program for attention addiction?
* Just when I find myself able to slowly back away from the addictive crack that is Starbury TV, Chad Ocho Cinco has to come along and create a channel on Ustream. Noooooo! I watched a little of “The Ocho Cinco Show” earlier tonight just to see what it was [...]

paul pierce’s smack tweet

Old news, but it still cracks me up. I’m late reacting to this because I wasn’t actually on Twitter on the 17th to see it. I read about it on the 18th on BDL. I was covertly perusing NBA blogs in my RSS reader at work when this little gem caught my eye. I literally [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
