The Oklahoma City Thunder came back from a 13 point deficit and beat the Miami Heat in a thriller of a Game 1 that you had to stick around to watch.   And that turned into ratings gold, as it became the highest rated NBA Finals Game 1 in ABC’s history. The 105-94 win in Oklahoma [...]

The Celtics tweeted out this video a little while ago.  It’s a nice thank you to the fans.  Not gonna lie… I’m a little upset that I’m posting this today and not in a couple of weeks with some clips of the parade.  I’m suddenly not as ok with things as I was earlier today.  I [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat might be the toughest NBA Finals to call in quite some time.  They are alternately very similar and quite different.  They each boast a 1-2 punch that can be both explosive and inconsistent.  But, as usual, this will be a series that comes down to match-ups, and I [...]

I’ve tried to write this piece, probably, 20 times by now.  I don’t know how to start it.  I don’t know how to properly capture what this team is or was.  What I do know is… when it was over, I loved these guys.  And I never really intended to. Here’s the season in a [...]

Some people might not like this, but I loved it.  After Doc Rivers had an emotional ending to his press conference, Rajon Rondo came in and was defiant and angry.  Make no mistake, he was just as emotional as Doc was, but it manifested itself in this icy death glare when he was asked if [...]

  Ladies and Gentlemen,  We stand here tonight in our green and white gear… perhaps reading on a cell phone at a bar… on a tablet at some Starbucks, or on a computer at home… as a fan-base hoping for history.  We stand here tonight, as a diverse group of young and old… black and [...]

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. There are certain favors you ask at great, great risk. Such as: Borrow large sums of money. Help move a piano. Take care of your dog that [...]

One thing to notice, the chant nearly tailed off a couple of times, but some group somewhere stepped up and kept it going. Very nice moment, Celtics fans.  Nicely done. [...]

Doc Rivers has this way of gauging the temperature of the room, and saying just the right thing to get people’s attention. Remember back in April when we all watched the Celtics lose to the Bulls by 7 and we chalked it up to just another “not enough in the tank” game?  Doc came out [...]

LeBron James was out of this world good last night.  He hit every shot he took.  He was an unstoppable force.  But it's the TYPE of shots he hit that are leaving the Celtics a little more comfortable with his performance than one might think.  After the game, Doc said I wasn't really okay with [...]
