It’s funny how people perceive things. Take Kevin Garnett for instance. When the Celtics secured their 17th title Tuesday night, the Big Ticket was, in all likelihood, the one Celtic who celebrated the loudest and with the most emotion. Considering the way he approaches the game of basketball, this is certainly understandable.
However, […]

OK, time for a quick house-cleaning segment: when I said the Lakers would win in six over at With Malice, obviously I made a typo. I must have meant Boston but it just came out as LA. Yeah, we’ll say that.
Anyway, besides bringing another title to Beantown and besides […]

While teams HAVE come back from a 3-1 deficit in the Playoffs before, most get the feeling that if Boston wins just one of these road games in LA, they’ll be in a great position to finish the job when they get back to Boston. That’s why I expect to see the Lakers come […]

Well, it wins Game 1s, at least. Just ask the Lakers who were held to their lowest point total of the Playoffs, scoring only 88 points. Furthermore, LA got contributions from players that normally propel them to a win. Lamar had 14 and 6 while Gasol posted 15 and 8. Hell, […]

Continuing with their summer movie tie-in promotions (we’ve had Iron Man and Indiana Jones already this playoff season), the folks over at Warner Brothers have teamed up with the NBA Finals to promote their huge summer movie, The Dark Knight. The first video serves as preview for the Finals, focusing on Kobe as Batman […]

As we prepare for the NBA Finals to tip-off tonight (our preview is coming a little later), it’s with great pleasure I present to you the most expensive basketball shoe, maybe ever. As seen on The Basketball Jones and the Complex.com blog, when the game gets under way, Kevin Garnett will be wearing a […]

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 […]
