nba musings: the hype machine will bite you

Cavs @ Magic 89-99
I have mixed feelings about these games.

On the one hand, I really did want someone to knock the Cavs on their ass. They were just way too pleased with themselves this year between the pre-game picture pose crap and the starters dancing on the bench to Rick Astley at the end of [...]

nba musings: lebron saves the day

Cavs v. Magic 96-95 (GW by The Chosen One)
What a game. I watched it on Twitter like I do most games and it was good times. First, everyone is like, “Hedoooooooo! The Turkish MJ! Yeah, yeah yeah baby!” Then, everyone is like, “The King! I’m a WITNESS! Holy effing buzzer beater!” Amazing. The NBA, where amaz… [...]

nba musings: @jeaniebuss a must-follow on twitter

I watch a ton of NBA games, but during the season I tend to wear my green colored glasses and focus all my energy on my beloved Boston Celtics. Since they are now fishing in Dingle, Ireland, I have time to ponder other teams and players.

I want to stab my eardrums with a rusty fork [...]

ok dwight, you asked for it

Dwight Howard seems like a nice enough guy, so I really didn’t want to pull out the big guns. But, considering he forced a game 7 against my team and GUARANTEED a series win, he really left me no choice. No choice at all.
Here kitty kitty… I’ve got something for you.

An entire arena filled with [...]

celtics afterthoughts: never give up

Playoffs Game 5
Celtics v. Magic 92-88
That was an amazing 4th quarter. Props to Stephon Marbury for being the catalyst offensively to kick off the run. This game was a perfect example of how superior the Celtics are from a mental standpoint. Physically the Magic should be killing us and at times they are, but mentally, [...]

red bow ties, raging animals, and other random thoughts

Most of these thoughts assume the reader follows the NBA. If you don’t, sorry for the confusion. I went back to work today after having a week off and I’m too tired to be detail oriented.

Aaron Brooks looked SO cute in that red blazer and bow tie.
Am I the only one that thought Lisa Salters’ “Shane you [...]

celtics afterthoughts: well that sucked

Playoffs Game 3
Celtics @ Magic 96-117
Thank the good lord allmighty and all things holy that I bought a new computer just hours before this game. I was totally distracted setting up my new baby and getting all my programs set up on it to even focus completely on this joke of a game. Holy inconsistency [...]

celtics afterthoughts: hit the road, jack

Playoff Game 7
Celtics v. Bulls 109-99
Goodbye.

Hello.

I’m not gonna lie. I think we dodged a bullet and now I like our chances. No disrespect intended towards Orlando, but I think we match up with them a lot better. Orlando is one of my favorite teams after the Celtics, but I imagine by this time next week [...]

celtics v. cavs – we have ourselves a rivalry

Ladies and germs, we finally have an Eastern conference rivalry worth talking about. Shocking really. I thought the Celtics biggest Eastern conference rival was going to be the Pistons. Au contraire, mofraire! Lebron and his merry band of jesters have stepped to the plate and not a moment too soon. Lots of bad blood in the [...]
