When the Nets let Rafer Alston go… he made sure his people reached out to Boston. “I think it was my interest,” he told WEEI.com. “But I don’t think Doc [Rivers] would have opposed it knowing that you can grab a guy that can give you minutes at backup point for this team, and who’s [...]

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. “Right now I don’t see any needs,” Ainge said as he boarded a flight on a scouting trip out West yesterday. “I mean, I feel like there’s [...]

If you missed last night's episode of Boston & That Sports Babe… you missed a wild one.  We started off well enough with Kevin Blackistone from FanHouse and Around The Horn joined us to talk Gilbert Arenas.  KB thinks Arenas should be done for the season.  His whole segment was great and worth the listen. [...]

They're apparently looking to trade for Vince Carter. The New Jersey Nets are in serious talks with the Magic about a deal that will send Vince Carter to Orlando for Rafer Alston, Tony Battie and Courtney Lee, two league sources told ESPN.com. The talks have reached a point that a deal could be done by [...]

In case you missed it from the other night. [...]

1 @ 1 Friday, May 8, 2009 7:00 pm ET Amway Arena (Orlando, FL) Knotted at 1-1, the series has left Boston and made its way to Amway Arena in Orlando. The Magic were able to make things more interesting than the Celtics had expected, as they were able to steal Game 1 along with [...]

Meet 34-year old Anthony Johnson, Magic starting point guard for tonight's pivotal Game 3. I think it's safe to say Rajon Rondo poses a major match-up problem. Rondo is coming off an 18 assist performance in which he got into the paint at will with Rafer Alston covering him. What are the chances Johnson can [...]

Grab a piece of the pine, son… you've been suspended one game.  I'll reiterate how that screws Orlando because they're starting game 3 now with perhaps the worst point guard left in the playoffs trying to guard perhaps the best point guard in the playoffs.  Have fun with that.

At least he can laugh about his foul trouble "That was the game plan — hack away at Paul and let Eddie House come in and score 30," Pierce said jokingly after a short practice today. "Great game plan. I always like to be out there playing, but, hey, the way we played and the [...]

Another look at Rafer Alston slapping Eddie House. In my opinion, anything less than a suspension is complete BS. But as I read over the league rules, there appears to be a loophole. According to the rule book, a technical foul shall be assessed for unsportsmanlike tactics such as: A deliberately-thrown elbow or any attempted [...]
