On Friday, I wrote a post intimating a lot of NBA teams missed out on drafting Chris Douglas-Roberts, a would-be senior guard for the University of Memphis (he left as a junior). Well, apparently, there was a reason these teams passed on CDR — he didn’t appear at many of the individually workout sessions […]

A week or so ago, it was widely reported that Doug Collins would assume the head coaching position for the Chicago Bulls after the Western Conference Finals were complete. Not so fast, my friends. The Collins/Bulls reunion is not to be and because of that, we have an even more surprising hire to […]

In what turned out to be a great game, the Boston Celtics held off the Detroit Pistons last night to the tune of 106-102 (who says they can’t score in the East?). Both teams overcame double-digit deficits — Boston in the first half, Day-Twah in the second — as the game came down to the […]

While we were away, the Boston/Detroit Eastern Conference Championship series became pretty damn competitive with both teams getting valuable road wins while showing an uncanny ability to follow-up a great performance with ones that are, well, not so great. Game 1, the Celtics looked like they were ready for the winner of the Lakers/Spurs […]

WTF are YOU looking at?
The last time we saw Tom Brady at a sporting event, he was losing his bid for perfection to the New York Giants. Obviously, this bad karma is following him around as he and Giselle were in attendance at last night’s Boston/Detroit game — a game the Celtics lost. […]

So what happens when Boston’s Big Three score a combined 75 points, Ray Allen breaks out of a shooting slump and the lead guard — Rajon Rondo — almost puts a triple-double on the board? Sounds like the perfect ingredients for a dominant Celtics performance that would normally result in a win, right? […]

Is tonight the night we find out if Chauncey Billups’ hamstring is back to normal or not? How about the rest of the Pistons? Will someone manage to score more than 15 points against the Celtics? Will they have an inside game to speak of?
Billups indicates there are no lingering effects from […]

Riding the inconsistently broad shoulders of Kevin Garnett — no disappearing act last night — the Celtics beat the Detroit Pistons, 88-79. In what looked like a harbinger of things to come, the two teams played a grind-it-out style focusing on defense and making the opponent work for open shots. Unfortunately for Detroit, […]

Consider this a delayed post caused by me being absent in order to attend the Radiohead concert in St. Louis; but it’s still an awesome play to look back on. What we have is Hedo Turkoglu trying to keep his Orlando Magic alive by attacking the basket. Unfortunately for Turkoglu, Jameer Nelson’s guarantee and […]

Will he be playing tonight when Detroit and Orlando go at it for Game 5 (TNT, 7pm EST)? Judging from reports, it sounds like his hamstring has been responding to treatment and that he might be giving it a go tonight; a possibility that may help deep-six Jameer Nelson’s guarantee.
“It’s feeling a lot better,” […]
