The LatestAll day Wednesday, ESPN was including in its Finals coverage a clip of Doc Rivers after the game telling his guys to "Get your rest." I thought it was an interesting point for him to be stressing, but I figured he just wanted to make sure the guys got his message. What I didn't know is... [More]
X-Rays are negative… nobody's 100%… and Rajon Rondo says he' thinks he's gonna play. The video of him talking after practice (which he sat out) is here. What Rondo actually has is a bone bruise, and not a sprained ankle. We'll see how he does. Here's some other post-practice videofrom Posey, Powe, Ray and Sam.... [More]
I'm really concerned about Rondo's ankle. In his blog, our speedy point guard talks about how the injury happened and how he's feeling: If you were watching the game you know that I injured my ankle in the third quarter. It happened on a fast break and I rolled it. I think I may have... [More]
Rondo's putting up trivia questions on his blog… and handing out autographed headbands to people who get the right answer. Here's the first one: We'll start with a high school question. I went to Oak Hill Academy and 2004 I set the school record for most assists in a game with 31. Who's record did... [More]
The bad news for me is that just about every team in the NBA is now being run or coached by a player I grew up watching. The hirings of Terry Porter, Vinny Del Negro and Michael Curry (all hired by players of the same era) just add to the list. Its bad news for Tom Thibodeau… who, we... [More]
That's WZLX's spoof of the Kevin Durant ad where he takes off a bunch of shirts. Only… instead of the next NBA phenom removing shirts… it's a husky radio producer who rocks a playoff beard that would make every toothless hockey enforcer proud. Third shirt in is priceless. Very well done.... [More]
There was Kobe Bryant last night… gliding through the air… flailing like a cartoon character falling off a cliff every time he got touched… and shooting. Oh… was Kobe ever shooting. A lot. And I loved it. Kobe shot 12 of 20 last night. Better than 50%. Good shooting night from Kobe. But it was... [More]
The Celtics got a combined 19 points on 8 of 36 shooting from Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. The Lakers got a combined 13 points on 5 of 18 shooting from Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol. Celtics fans are saying "We feel good going into Game 4 because we were close the whole way through... [More]
The Celtics may have lost Game 3, but I remain supremely confident they will win this series. In fact, my confidence level is higher now than it was prior to this game. Why? Because Paul Pierce (6 pts, 2-14 FG,) just played the worst game of his career and the Lakers barely won. Kevin Garnett (13 pts,... [More]
Tim Donaghy is talking… and he's either exposing what, up until now, has been a conspiracy theory…. or he's grinding a serious ax to make the NBA look bad. Ex-NBA referee Tim Donaghy told the feds two refs fixed the outcome of one playoff series - and that officials were told not to eject star players... [More]
