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?

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 [...]

hollinger ranks celtics third in east

Just read this gem in today’s ESPN.com Hollinger chat:
Chris (Nevada)
Best in East in order 1) Magic 2) Celts 3) Cleveland. Tell me im correct
John Hollinger (3:07 PM)
I think it’s basically a dead heat between Orlando and Cleveland at the top; I have to pick one of them eventually but will take my sweet time. Boston [...]

listen up, danny ainge

I really wish Danny Ainge would shut his piehole. I was confused for a little while about what the hell was going on with all these Rondo trade rumors and now I’m more convinced than ever that Danny is just trying to put the Celtics in the best position to re-sign Rondo without having to [...]

tmz to lebron: you’re a douchebag

Trades shmades. I am done reacting to Rondo rumors and/or listening to Danny Ainge deny them. In the spirit of offseason fluff, I direct you to this completely irrelevant news… TMZ.com apparently thinks LeBron is a giant douchebag and they’re going to keep chronicling his wardrobe choices until he gets the hint and stops wearing message tees.
The [...]

nba musings: die by the 3

NBA Finals Game 1
Lakers v. Magic 100-75
This game was a classic “die by the 3″ game. The Lakers defense was part of it, but the Magic also missed a ton of wide open shots. Simply put, the Magic are who we thought they were. The key to me was how the Lakers controlled Dwight. When Dwight [...]

nba musings: rick astley has gone fishing

Playoffs Game 6
Magic v. Cavs 103-90
By now, I don’t know what there is left to say about LeBron James and his lack of sportsmanship. He’s been picked clean really and is now just a pile of bones laying by the roadside. I feel like talking about it though, so lets just pretend we haven’t already heard everything there is [...]

nba musings: on the brink

Cavs v. Magic 112-102

They won by 10. But… nobody blows a big lead like the Cleveland Cavaliers. I honestly feel sorry for their fans. I can’t imagine never being able to be comfortable for an entire game no matter how many points up my team is.
It’s strange seeing the Cavs as the underdog and the [...]

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: a dingo stole my inbounds

Lakers @ Nuggets 103-97
Important thoughts below, brace yourself.

Where was @jeaniebuss on Twitter tonight? How am I supposed to watch an entire Laker game without knowing if Brandy or John Mayer are present and accounted for?
Despite the Nuggets being ahead all game, I just knew the Lakers would win it. They just hung around and hung around [...]
