Cavs lose the opener to Boston

October 27, 2009

Not a great opening night for the Cavs, who looked like a team still trying to find itself.
LeBron James called it a "transition period."
Coach Mike Brown said: "We will get better."
The cynic in me started to ask why Boson's transition seemed so much easier, but there is an easy reason. Boston's new guys — Rasheed [...]

Give the Celtics their due

May 18, 2009

I honestly thought Boston would win Game 7 against Orlando, because … well … because they're Boston. They were 32-0 in Game 7s and Red Auerbach and Bailey Howell and Don Nelson bouncing free throws off the roof and Paul Pierce claiming Red guided one in against the Cavs last season (rolling eyes) and all [...]

May 12, 2009

1) Bib Baby apologized. End of THAT story.
2) The Magic sure know how to close out a game, eh?

An interesting take on the Celtics

April 30, 2009

I take no credit for the presentation. The link is here, on www.waitingfornextyear.com.
But I do enjoy it. Thoughts?
"According to the Celtics …

"This is disrespectful.

"(This) is being a good teammate.

"This is not a cheap shot. 

"This is a good play.
"Everyone got that? There will be a test."

The deeper meaning of Kevin Garnett's injury

April 17, 2009

The fact that Kevin Garnett will miss the playoffs has been a much-discussed topic. Either that or there wasn't much to discuss with the NBA off until Saturday. The injury clearly hurts the Celtics ability to repeat (assuming, of course, Garnett does not have some kind of out-of-his-wheelchair, miracle, back-in-the-locker-room recovery the way Paul Pierce did last [...]

A critical view of the Celtics game on Sunday

April 13, 2009

Fox's Charley Rosen said the Celtics' performance Sunday was "inexcusable." As in: "Garbage time was in effect for about the last 40 minutes of the game. And the Celtics played just hard enough to avoid being totally humiliated. Yes, Boston had every excuse to go belly up, but the ease with which they rolled over [...]

On the Cavs: This was Gino last season in Boston

April 13, 2009

Did this insult anyone last season in Boston? I don't think so. It was irritating to the teams on the losing end, but insulting? Don't think so.

The view from Boston on the Cavs having so much fun

April 13, 2009

Boston is a serious sports town, and the Boston media handles things quite well. So it was good to see that they did not make a big to-do out of the Cavs dancing on the bench in the fourth quarter of Sunday's blowout. Ray Allen didn't like it, but I really feel it was just [...]

Kevin Garnett's status in Boston remains up in the air

April 6, 2009

The Celtics keep saying Kevin Garnett will be fine for the playoffs, that he'll play in Game 1 of the first series. No doubt he will. It's tough to keep a competitor like Garnett out of the playoffs. But Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo opines that there's a lot more uncertainty and wonder in Boston about [...]
