Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. "Shaq's not a perimeter shooter and neither is (Kendrick Perkins)," he said Saturday from Madison Square Garden. "They're both great finishers around the rim, very efficient, shoot [...]

I was all prepared to hate Kobe Bryant today.  He is fresh off beating the C's for a title (ugh, still hurts) and he made me wake up way too early to cover his event.  So I was looking forward to just flat out hating on him all morning long.  And I couldn't do it.  [...]

If you think about it, I mean really think about it, it's completely logical.  During his legendary career with the Celtics, Larry Bird redefined the term "Killer Instinct."  Bill Russell was probably the first NBA player to display this trait every game for an entire career that captured 11 titles in 13 season.  It doesn't [...]

WhatIfSports.com got the kinks out of its simulation machine in time to take the top 8 Lakers title teams and the top 8 Celtics title teams and pit them up against one another… bracket style. The result? The '85-'86 Celtics are the best of the best. Boston may have won 59-percent of the time in [...]

It won't be the last time," said Rivers. "As a coach, your job when a — I call it an emotional hijack — happens, your [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. “I think the Spurs understood at the time not really being in the mix for the first time in his 15-year career,’’ [Finley's agent Henry] Thomas said.

Last night, The Boston Celtics and HBO converted the Garden into a movie theater for an advance screening of "Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals."  It was an "invite-only" crowd of season ticket holders… but I managed to find my way in as a friend's "plus 1." It was pretty cool to see the [...]

Aside from Betty White getting wrecked on a crossing route… this year's Super Bowl ads were mildly amusing at best. But this one, obviously, stood out in our hearts.  If you missed it, it's the McDonald's updated version of these classic Larry Bird/Michael Jordan ads: Nice warmups, Mike.  Did you give them back to Bill [...]
