doc should make the team watch this for inspiration

A lot of people think the Celtics are done. Not just done — done, done. I don’t believe it. I think they’re just bored with the regular season, don’t get up for bad teams and let bad offense become piss-poor defense — all, by definition, attitude problems that exist between the ears. Doc needs to [...]

tiny thoughts and a bunch of questions

Did Sheed bring the “flip the switch” disease with him from Detroit?
Did Kryptonate bring the “defense, what’s that?” stink with him from New York?
Why the hell doesn’t Doc Rivers play Shelden Williams more — at least for rebounding? He’s the landlord for christsake!
AND WHY THE HELL DON’T THE CELTICS PLAY DEFENSE ANYMORE?
Red rover, red rover, send [...]

powe has moved on, i have not

Leon is back. In a Cavs uniform. And according to A. Sherrod Blakely, he’s not bitter about how things ended with the Celtics. Maybe he’s not, but I still am. Anyway, it’s a great article. The last two paragraphs kill me slowly with a rusty fork:
And regardless of whether he plays five minutes or even [...]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before
* You know that time in high school when your ivy league bound boyfriend broke up with you and ignored you until you started dating the captain of the football team? Then he called you at the eleventh hour and asked you to prom? Evans Clinchy of NESN.com [...]

He said, she said
* Out of the corner of my ear last night while I was playing another rousing round of Cake Mania 2 on the computer, I heard the following coming out of my television set: “Rick Pitino has admitted to having sex with the woman in a restaurant and paying for her abortion.” [...]

powe to sign 2-yr deal w/cavs

If this happens, then I’m happy for Leon. He deserves a job and I’ll be glad that he has one. I will just never get over [...]

celts sign a dukie (and other musings)

Get your rent checks ready!
* Well, he probably won’t get that much playing time… But still, it’s pretty cool that the landlord is coming to town. Being the diehard J.J. Redick fan that I am, I’ve seen lots and lots of Shelden Williams on the college level. He was like the Robin to J.J.’s Batman [...]

powe to the cavs?

I hate you, Danny Ainge!

Sigh. Just stumbled onto this on YouTube and it made me happy …and sad. Please to enjoy.

Holy emo, I promise I’ll stop talking about Leon… Someday.
ps. I’m calling bullshit on Doc not knowing about the Gino dance.

leon powe has been cast aside

I’m sick about this. It now occurs to me that my two favorite players in the NBA do not play for the Boston Celtics (James Posey and Leon Powe). I’m shocked by the Celtics decision to not extend Powe a qualifying offer. Powe’s agent said it best:
What does it say when a player like Leon [...]
