Unreal.


That is the only way to describe this series, tonight's game, the play of numerous players on both teams. Unreal. A basketball fan's dream. The C's are up 2 in OT right now with 3.6 left after another heroic shot by The Truth. I have to get up at 5am for work, so to be continued tomorrow....

Exhausted..




Between the heat and this game, I'm exhausted. This is 2 weekends in a row that I've witnessed 2 incredible playoff games. Unfortunately, Bulls beat the Celts in double-OT, 121-118. Leading scorers for each team were the absolutely incredible Rajon Rondo for the Green with 25, 11 and 11 and the equally impressive DRose for the Bulls with 23, 11 and 9. Rose's team won, but I agree with Magic Johnson (of all people) in saying that Rondo is playing as well as any other PG in the playoffs right now. Each year, a player seems to emerge out of the NBA playoffs and/or Finals, and this year, without question, it's RR. More to come. Need to grab a quick power-nap before another dramatic game-Sox and Yankees at 8pm......

Sox, Tony Allen etc..



Celtics off again today. It's kind of ridiculous how the NBA has stretched these series out all in the name of revenue. Anyhow, nothing new going on in CelticsLand, just some misc. stories that you've probably already read involving T.A. Latest rumor I read about in today's Herald says the death threats are coming because he owes money and "refuses to pay...". Who knows. Last night I enjoyed a great baseball game as the Sox beat the Yankees 5-4 in dramatic fashion. Kevin Youkilis hit a walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 11th. I am considering turning this into a Red Sox blog in June when the Celtics season is over(yes, June). I attend a good amount of Sox games and also follow them pretty rabidly. Let me know your thoughts/opinions on that. Enjoy the great weather Celtics fans....

Good old fashioned ass-whooping..


The Celtics looked like the defense-minded 2007-2008 NBA Champions tonight. Paul Pierce broke out of any "funk" he may have been in and dropped 24 points to lead all scorers, but the defensive effort really made the difference tonight. The Celtics caused havoc by constantly pressuring the Bulls and getting many steals, tips and causing turnover after turnover. You know the Celtics are being aggressive when Rajon Rondo is called for a flagrant foul on Joakim Noah! The final was 107-86 Green. The Celtics also had an impressive 16 steals tonight and Brian Scalabrine returned to action-he played about 6 minutes, and hit the one shot he took...a 3-pointer. Game 4 takes place in Chicago this Sunday. Tip-off is at 1pm. Good to the see the champs looking like a tight unit again. Goodnite Celtics fans...

More Bill Walker...?

Mikki Moore said in an interview with Celtics.com today at practice that he expects to see more Bill Walker now that Leon is done for maybe "a year." Yeah, I know, Mikki isn't the coach, but it's pretty obvious Doc will have to play Walker now with our other power forward out of action. Since we have no C's action for another 36 hours or so, enjoy some of Walker's highlights...

No Celts game? Let's bash Joakim


One more time...

Here it is one more time in all it's glory. It's fun watching KG get all hyped-up too...
