LeBron James sported this leafy red sweater following the Heat’s 110-87 win over the Bucks last night. After the Thunder’s 120-91 victory over Houston, Russell Westbrook hit the podium with a sleeveless ensemble and large medallion. I’m still waiting for one of these guys to show up dressed like this: This silliness has to end soon, [...]
April 22, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Around the NBA LeBron James tweeted the photo (via his Instagram account) with the following caption: Somebody call 911. The weight room just got murdered! Lol. Off day training. #strivingforgreatness #focused The Heat cannot win another title. They just can’t. [...]
April 11, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Around the NBA You expect bloggers, fans and sports radio hosts to react to LeBron James’ whining about officiating. But an NBA general manager? Yesterday on WEEI, Danny Ainge joined the fray: “I think the referees got the calls right. I don’t think it was a hard foul,” Ainge said of the mixups involving James and Heinrich, as [...]
March 29, 2013 Chuck - Red's Army Around the NBA, Celtics News, Danny Ainge Unlike Chuck, I don’t give a damn about people ooh’ing and ahh’ing over a dunk like LeBron’s or DeAndre Jordan’s. Getting your balls busted for getting posterized in basketball is nothing new… and in today’s internet age, that means Photoshops, tweets, tumblrs, wikipedia edits and whatever else. As far as I’m concerned, fans will spend a [...]
March 20, 2013 John - Red's Army Celtics News 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. But, in front of a leather-lunged crowd that spent much of that Sunday afternoon on its feet, the Celtics, without Rajon Rondo, fought to an emotional double-overtime [...]
Five years ago to the day the Celtics were facing a Houston Rockets team that put together an unlikely 22-game win streak, good for second best in NBA history. The night before, they had come back from being down 20-plus points against the Spurs in San Antonio. In one of his first games as a [...]
When Ray Allen left Boston for the Miami Heat, my first thought was: “Damn we’re going to miss his clutch 3′s.” My second thought was: “Damn I’m really going to miss his sweet J’s.” No..not those J’s-his Jordans. During his time with the Celtics, Ray wore some sweet Air Jordan player exclusives. I doubt we [...]
This may ruffle a few feathers, many will call me un-American or some other crazy name, but I have grown to dislike this years version of Team USA. Why you ask? Hubris. Hubris is defined as an overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance. Let’s be honest, that pretty much defines 80% of this Team USA roster. [...]
July 17, 2012 Nick Sannicandro Around the NBA 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. Boston Celtics free-agent guard Ray Allen is scheduled to visit South Florida Thursday, with the Heat among five finalists for the veteran 3-point shooting specialist, who also has attracted interest [...]
LeBron James doesn’t like the Celtics. He basically said so in a tweet after Jared Sullinger was drafted. In another tweet that same night he said: While watching the draft my son Bryce ask “Is Ray Allen gonna play for Heat”. I said “I don’t know, I hope so”. The possibility of Ray joining Miami [...]
