NBA FInals

A lot of people watched Game 7 According to numbers released Tuesday by the Nielson Co., Game 7 of the NBA finals drew an audience of 28.2 million people, ranking it as the most-watched basketball game since Michael Jordan’s last championship-clinching win in 1998. Not including the Olympics, Thursday’s game between the Celtics and Lakers [...]

Just two of the always hysterical captions from the genius that is Doc Funk.  Head on over to the Game 7 recap and have a good laugh… cuz we all know we need it. [...]

I often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics after playing the Celtics. Here's a dose of 'enemy chatter' from Los Angeles. Crowds broke windows of storefronts, jumped on cars, set at least 15 small fires and threw objects at police. The LAPD reported 38 arrests. There were [...]

Hey Doc, I don't know what you're going to do.  You might not know what you're going to do yet either.  But, at the risk of peppering this site with a ton of post-season "thank yous"… I just wanted to take a minute to say thanks. I haven't agreed with all of your decisions.  But [...]

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. “You know, I don’t know if Rasheed will ever play again,” Rivers said. “You know, he’s one of them. I think he took that out on the [...]

Credit to the Lakers for winning a hard-fought, hideously played Game 7, 83-79. Crazy Ron Artest (who thanked his psychiatrist in the post game interview) was the hero for Los Angeles. Ron had 20 points and 5 steals while playing lock down defense on Paul Pierce (18 points, 5-15 FG). His three-pointer with one minute [...]

(Mildly NSFW printed language in video) This is it folks.  Scal's the secret weapon. And these guys are right… this is exactly like having sex with a supermodel on the death star while eating ice cream.  It's that awesome. Meanwhile, those assholes in LA think having Christina Aguilera sing the national anthem again will bring [...]

I trust Rasheed Wallace. There, I said it.  I know damn well what he did this regular season.  I know damn well how much he's coasted and how old he is and how he's not what he used to be. But dammit, I trust him tonight. Here's the thing about Rasheed Wallace.  He knows damn [...]

When we showed you this sports nation poll yesterday, Vermont, Connecticut and the rest of the country were showing Lakers.   But New Englanders have stepped up… as have the Rondo-lovers in Kentucky and the Derek Fisher-haters in Utah.   So thanks, New England, for showing up to the party.  I'll just randomly assume Red's [...]

I so want to see Doc giving the pregame speech on ABC's "wired" segment and see Kevin Garnett do the slow clap thing.  That would be awesome. [...]
