Comments from the Other Side - Pacers

We all know how good the Boston Celtics are on defense, the best in the league to be sure. Their defense is so good that at times we undervalue their offense. The dribble drive offense was all the rage last year, but the Celtics have moved beyond it (though they still use some drive and kick principles). They rely a lot more on ball screens and a rotating 2-man PNR. Against the Pacers...

I know it's early. I know you love your Kobe. I know you love your LeBron. Heck, I know you love your CP3. I don't care. We're talking about the man who just about single-handedly turned around the NBA's most storied franchise.

The Celtics had a 25 point lead against Portland in the 4th quarter. Kevin Garnett isn't a young man, and neither are some of the other C's starters, so Doc pulled them to try to get them some rest. Over the next few minutes, the Celtic's reserves (including Big Baby) allowed Portland to cut ...

It is safe to say that Ray Allen has found his shot. He has played very well this season and had his best scoring game to date in this one with 35 points to go with 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He is one of the best pure shooters of all time. Kevin Garnett should get honorable mention for his ...

And someone had the nerve to get offended when David exposed his panties the first time.It's one thing to be passionate about your craft and as a result, exhibit a high range of emotions. However ladies and gents, there's a thin line between passionate and pussy, and Mrs. Davis just soiled her Maxi.

Glen Davis got sonned by Kevin Garnett during their game against the Trail Blazers over the weekend. This is a very sad display on the part of Big Baby, then again I already knew he was kind of soft though. Glen Davis is a nice southern boy. Born and raised in Baton [...]

From Food Court Lunch, via Ball Don't Lie. A highlight: SA: That will be seven dollars, please. Garnett: (slams ten dollar bill onA counter; snatches sub) Keep it!

Has there been a more clutch player in the NBA than Paul Pierce this season? I dare you to find one. Pierce was his clutch-self again Sunday night, burying a 3-pointer with 7.4 seconds remaining in regulation, forcing overtime. The Celtics then took over in OT, and held off the Pacers 122-117, winning their 12th-straight game and improving to 20-2 on the season. Ray Allen was a machine...
