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 [...]

celtics afterthoughts: boston, we have a problem

Where to start? I’m going to start off by admitting that I have finally taken off my derrick rose colored glasses… we’re in big trouble. I was alarmed when Leon Powe appeared to injure himself (which turned out to be a season ending torn ACL injury) and went back into the locker room, but I went [...]

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.

c’mon paul, tsk tsk

I’m late with this, but I’m still compelled to discuss it. I’m definitely in the minority, but I’m a little turned off by Paul Pierce blowing off that little kid in the Cavs jersey. If you missed it, during the Celtics/Cavs game, Paul Pierce game out of the game to loud fanfare and was high-fiving [...]

celtics afterthoughts: highs and lows

Celtics v. Magic 79-86
I was cooking up a stir-fry during the pre-game live show on Comcast and when I heard that Rondo was out, I almost chopped my finger off with the Ginsu. Actually, I was ok until they said Marbury was starting. Wha wha what? Marbury is starting? Why? The guy has only played [...]
