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. I’m always skeptical about new NBA players appearing on Twitter and like to get some kind of confirmation before I get excited about [...]

memory lane always cheers me up

Ok, there’s been a lot of bad breaks going our way lately and that sucks… but if you’re a Celtics fan and you want to turn that frown upside down, just enjoy this YouTube video with me. Damn, if I don’t get choked up every time right around the 2:20 mark.

celtics afterthoughts: what is this, a scrimmage?

Celtics @ Bulls 121-127
Doing my best Chandler Bing impression, I ask you, “Could this game be any more annoying?” First of all, whose bright idea was it to market all that St. Patrick’s Day NBA swag? It’s stupid. The Lakers and Pistons gear in particular just look all WRONG in green. Not to mention, their [...]

celtics afterthoughts: come back kg, come back

Celtics @ Milwaukee 77-86
The Celtics tend to suck it up Sundays at 1pm. They seem to really need to stay on their schedule and the games that step out of that really don’t work for them. Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s home or away. Our offense looked awful. Actually it’s looked pretty awful to [...]

in case you missed it…

I defy you to watch this and not get a little teary.

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 [...]
