Rajon Rondo - The Patriots, Game 6, and His Movie
The 2004 Patriots are my favorite team of New England’s run. Don’t get me wrong I loved the 2001 squad. But in 2004 Tom Brady had emerged, Corey Dillon was a beast, the defense was stifling at times, and the Pats only lost twice. Just a great season. However, for me it all comes down to...
Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Game 6 - In Praise of James Posey
If there was one thing that bothered me tonight it was the fact that people did not praise James Posey enough, despite Jeff Van Gundy's best efforts, following the Celtics victory. Even Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and KG did give the man enough credit. To review: - Posey took a short term, less than...
Assorted Kobe Thoughts
This night is about the Celtics. It will be a long time before I get over the 131 points they dropped on the Lakers. Still I'd like to touch on a few Kobe Bryant related points. Like it or not he's a massive figure in the NBA. - I found this post comparing Kobe Bryant to Dirk Nowitzki interesting....
Paul Pierce Finals MVP
Even David Stern called him The Truth. Now I've seen everything. And Pierce thanked the fans. Well done.
Boston Celtics: NBA Champions
Congrats to the Boston Celtics. They earned it and didn't leave any doubt about it. Well done. Much more later. For now I'm just going to watch the recap and figure out when the parade is. Has a NBA coach ever gotten the Gatorade dump?
Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Game 6 - Open Game Thread
Before I go any further I'd be remiss if I did not bring up the whole Jemele Hill thing. She wrote an article (this is the edited one) in which she compared rooting for the Celtics to something to do with Hitler. Odd. The guys at Red's Army were all over it. Of course ESPN eventually apologized and...
Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Game 5 - Recap
As I was watching Game 5 it hit me how annoyed I would be if I were a Lakers fan. The announcers, Jeff Van Gundy in particular, praised James Posey, Boston's defense and the Celtics in general. It was the story line that played throughout the game, while the Lakers still maintained control. And...
Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Game 5 - Open Game Thread
As strong as Boston has looked at points I still have no idea what to expect from this team on a game-to-game basis. This could be the last game of the 2008 season or not. Meanwhile, Kendrick Perkins' status is still shaky and that same article spends a good deal of time talking about Kobe Bryant's...
And Here Comes Brian Scalabrine?
It is still too early to tell whether or not Kendrick Perkins will play on Sunday. But even if he does how much should the Celtics expect from him? Basketball, particularly the way Perk plays it, is a physical game. The degree of difficulty rises significantly with an ailing shoulder. And since...
Is This Boston's Last Shot?
Ray Allen turns 33 this summer. Kevin Garnett blew out 32 candles a month ago. Paul Pierce will be 31 in the fall. We’ve already seen stretches of inconsistent play from Allen, even if he has been awesome in the Finals. And everyone is still waiting to see how the guys who jumped straight to...
