It’s bad enough the Sixers ended their 2008-2009 on a low note, after getting blown out but the Orlando Magic 114-89, but was it necessary for their backup center/11th man on the bench to come out and rip the coach after the loss?
Theo Ratliff was the last player to leave the locker room after Thursday [...]

Say what?Yes, J.J. Redick has spent most of his NBA with the Orlando Magic career sitting on the bench. By all accounts, he’s a long way from coach Jeff Van Gundy’s favorite and in spite of his ability to shoot the rock, Redick has only averaged 14.4 minutes and 5.5 points per game.Courtney Lee's injury in the first round of the NBA Playoffs has given Redick, Duke's career...

Keys To Boston Beating Magic? Rajon And Big Baby Need To Step Up
After weighing all the factors I believe that the Celtics will end as the victors of a well fought series but because of the loss of the “Big Ticket” Boston All-Star forward Kevin Garnett there will not be a Big Three this year.

Celtics dropped another Game 1 at home, 95-90. Paul Pierce led the
Celtics with 23...

C-Nation, I believe that we are in for another crazy fight like the first round with the Bulls that felt like two fighters in the ring exchanging blow after blow. But unlike the Pacquiao/Hatton fight Sat. Night which was over before you could blink --Pac-Man won if you didn't know -- I I'm not so sure that the C's can end the Magic as quickly. Just in case you don'...
