After cleaning up yesterday's mess, the Madness returns to normalcy with the next matchup.  Today's matchup features one of Paul Pierce's several posterizations this season, going up against a George Gervin-esque play by Ray Allen during the series against the Miami Heat. Seed #20: Pierce Posterizes Channing Frye – If you can recall in late [...]

Yesterday’s GreenLight Madness matchup featured the debuts of both Glen Davis (executing an absurd reverse slam against the Pacers) and Jermaine O’Neal with a nice posterization of Andray Blatche.  Today, some of the regulars make a return to the tournament with some blazing speed and clutch playoff shooting. Seed #17: Delonte and Ray Hit Clutch [...]

The NBA has an issue with some of its refs.  I'm going to be diplomatic here and say that some of them clearly feel like they deserve some fo the spotlight.  Ken Mauer has shown time and time again that he's one of those guys.  Take, for instance, last night's game in Phoenix. With the [...]

We saw two plays last night that are guaranteed to be on the 2010-11 NBA highlight reel.  So which one was better?   First up:  Steve Nash, Marcin Gortat, and Channing Frye combine in the second of three overtimes versus the Lakers: Or is it JaVale McGee who not only blocks Wesley Matthews' dunk attempt… [...]

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 Phoenix. The Boston Celtics are widely known around the NBA as the baddest team in the land, and the Phoenix Suns stared them right in the eye without [...]

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 had seen how heated it was," Green said. "I was talking to [Garnett] before the game and [the Celtics] were ready for this game. That's why [...]

Nice headline, huh? Very Boston Herald of me. Some of you are probably pissed off that the Suns whittled a 29-point Celtics 3rd quarter lead down to 8 midway through the 4th quarter. The Suns reserves destroyed the Celtics second and third unit combo, forcing Doc to return the starting 5 back to the floor. [...]
