Tough Road for the Celtics

Hanging his head…
Forget about the 66 wins and the postseason blowouts at the Garden; we’re no longer taking the Celtics seriously as championship contenders until they win at least one playoff road game. Losing three in Atlanta to a sub-.500 squad was bad enough, then last night KG and crew got torn apart in Cleveland […]

“I Felt Threatened”

This is ridiculous.

Doc Rivers is … Brilliant???

Last year, Bill Simmons, who I like as much as every other Boston fan, wrote a “Doc Rivers has been fired!” column a few days before a date that he projected the C’s would fire him. I was on the bandwagon as well. I also thought Doc had lost the team and mismanaged some of […]

Raining MVP

Is Dirk Nowitzki clutch? Any kind of rep he’d built during the Finals run in ‘06 and last year’s MVP regular season was snuffed out in the now-infamous Golden State series. And like we said heading into this season, now no one cares what Dirk does until the playoffs come around and he’s […]

When will C-Webb suit up for Nellie?
* Multiple sources agree that Chris Webber will be wearing a Warriors uniform before the end of January.
* Ironically, on the same night that Nellie set wheels in motion to bolster the Warriors’ presence on the boards, Andris Biedrins cleaned the glass single-handedly with 11 points and 26 […]

Heat Owner Baffled

Dime 38
This morning’s Miami Herald has an interview with Miami Heat owner Micky Arison about the state of his franchise (and by “state” we mean 7-17, $7 million above the luxury tax with little salary relief in sight). To his credit, Arison speaks pretty candidly about Shaq, Dwyane Wade and many of the personnel moves […]

What Now?

Being born and bred in Beantown, I couldn’t be happier with yesterday’s events. Today though, my excitement has already turned into anticipation of our next move. I’ve been preaching that Brevin Knight would be the perfect piece to just about anyone who will listen to me since the Celtics acquired Ray Allen. I still think […]

Hill Top

Funny how time flies. With word coming down that Grant Hill had agreed to sign with the Suns (2 years, about $2 million per), we realized it wasn’t that long ago when Grant signed the monster deal with Orlando and was supposed to make noise in the East with T-Mac. Remember, Grant put up 25, […]

The Day After

Like everyone else, our office TV was locked on the news channels all day yesterday following the tragedy at Virginia Tech. There’s nothing we can say that hasn’t been said a million times already; the fact that there were more than twice the number of fatalities as there were in the Columbine H.S. shooting is […]
