NBA Playoffs: Protecting Home Turf

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

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 […]

Weekly Pwnage: Jason Maxiell Spikes Kevin Garnett

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

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 […]

NBA Playoffs: Can You Say Demoralized?

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

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? […]

NBA Playoffs: Detroit and Boston, Part 2

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

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 […]

NBA Playoffs: Celtics Take Game 1

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

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, […]

NBA Playoffs: Celtics Hold Off LeBron

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Now that’s how you close out an Eastern Conference semi-final series — two great players going back and forth; neither wanting their teams to falter and both doing whatever they can to prevent it from happening. Just like Paul Pierce and LeBron James did yesterday afternoon. Both stars shined so brightly — Pierce […]

Looking Back At Tayshaun’s Brilliant Block

Friday, May 16th, 2008

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 […]

NBA Playoffs: What About Chauncey?

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

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.

NBA Playoffs: LeBron’s Dunk

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

In a game that featured King James telling his mother to sit down and be quiet (with some profanity mixed in for good measure) and a James dunk for the ages, the Cleveland Cavaliers ended the evening tied with the Celtics at two games piece.

Unfortunately for Cleveland, now they have to travel back to Boston […]
