Jeff Van Gundy has made no secret of his dislike for flopping. We hear him countless times complaining on national TV about NBA players flopping like European soccer stars on the court. I don’t blame him. The flopping has been taken to new heights. Then again, so has Van Gundy’s proclamations.

Jeff Van Gundy became a trending topic on Twitter before Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Celtics and Heat even began. After looking at the picture above, it’s easy to see why. I guess that was his way of connecting with the cool NBA kids crowd that consists of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Dwyane Wade.
Once the actual game began, Van Gundy went overboard...

Taking a cue from nerd sheik practitioner Russell Westbrook, Jeff Van Gundy elected to wear some incredibly hip glasses during ESPN’s pregame show to show that even bald, 50-year-old former NBA coaches know how to rock it fresh on the ironic fashion tip. Oh, Jeff Van Gundy: Shine on, you crazy diamond. Shine on. [via [...]

Game 6 didn't go the way Mickael Pietrus had hoped, but the Celtics' loss did little to rattle the happy-go-lucky veteran. That's because Pietrus is ready for Game 7, and as he put it, good things happen when you stay positive. So while it would have been easy for Pietrus to hang his head following the Heat's 98-79 victory on Thursday, he was more focused on turning...

Shaquille O'Neal helped bring an NBA title to Miami. Now, he may have helped keep one from the city. Mickael Pietrus, who was clutch in the Celtics' Game 5 win, said that O'Neal texted him before the game, which provided a source of inspiration for the veteran swingman. "I got a text from Shaq, he was telling me keep believing and keep playing, so that's what...

June 05, 2012
During Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, Mickael Pietrus missed a wide open dunk opportunity. It looked like he tried to get way too fancy with it and slam it home. Instead, the ball nailed the rim and bounced off into Lebron James’ hands. The series is tied at 2-2. A win for the Celtics would be huge tonight.

This play was all kinds of amazing in a very short time:
Â
The block by Wade on the Bass dunk attempt? Nasty? Rondo recognizing in the span of less than two seconds, that Mickael Pietrus is in the corner and then slapping it to him while getting fouled (how big was THAT no-call??) was ridiculous. Pietrus hitting the 3... well... that was probably just luck the way he was...

Mickael Pietrus has had a very up-and-down series for the Boston Celtics. At times the sharp-shooting swingman has been more of a hindrance than a help for the C's, buton Sunday night Pietrus made up for all of his questionable decisions. The 30-year-old guard grabbed two huge offensive rebounds in the overtime of Game 4, and potentially even more important he was able to force...

Rajon Rondo has had much flashier passes in the Eastern Conference Finals, but a fourth-quarter tip to Mickael Pietrus in Game 5 is his most important assist of the series thus far. The Celtics built a five-point lead a couple of minutes into the final frame on Tuesday night, but the Heat came roaring back to seize the lead and briefly control of the game. That momentum only seemed...

The one element of the NBA's hipster craze that bothers me is these NBA players spending all sorts of stupid money on fake glasses that cost more than my real glasses... and possibly my entire wardrobe. Â Seriously, when did it become in vogue for NBA players to show up to postgame press conferences with thick-rimmed fake glasses and stolen casual shirts from Don Cherry? Â...

The Boston Celtics are one victory away from playing the Western Conference Champion Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, and have done so without practicing in the playoffs.
The New York Times reports the Celtics last practice was in April before the Playoffs began.  For the Celtics, watching film and going through game plans on day-of-game shootarounds is enough.Â
