Chris Paul is for real. He lead the New Orleans Hornets from no playoffs the year before to the 2 spot in the highly competitive West. He's extremely dangerous to other teams when it comes to decison making. From pulling up for a jumper, to driving in the lane to dishing it back out to an open   more...

Over the next five weeks, I will go position by position and rank the top 30 players by total value. The NBA is a business, so it doesn't make sense to purely rank the players only by their talent or stats, or by some other qualitative measure (though those factors do matter). We must also look at   more...

After losing 3 games on the road to the Atlanta Hawks and having their character questioned as that series went to 7 games, most expected the Celtics to learn from their mistakes and come out strong in this game to finally get a road win. But, it was more of the same as the Celtics' defense once   more...

I am at a complete loss as to how a team can be so dominant on defense during the regular season both at home and on the road and can be totally dominant on defense at home in the playoffs and then go on the road and completely forget how to play defense. It just doesn't make sense. Bucks Diary has   more...

I'm once again stunned. How did this happen? Lets start with the fourth quarter.By double teaming Joe Johnson every time down the floor, he was able to set up all his teammates for open looks all game long. That led to a huge run in the fourth that put Boston on its heals and gave the Hawks the   more...

The Celtics made a statement in this game as they won by 34 points, 99-65. The Hawks were never in this game as the Celtics bolted out to a 27-16 first quarter lead behind the superior play of Kendrick Perkins. He set the tone for the team right from the beginning, crashing the boards, blocking   more...

Good perimeter shooting? Check. Solid defensive gameplan? Check. Limited turnovers? Check. The Cavs did all the right things in Game 3 that they didn't do in the first two games at Boston. The result was a 108-84 blowout win that made it a series again. But it's going to have to continue if the   more...

Before the game, no one felt that Pierce, Ray Allen and LeBron would all shoot sa poorly as they did in game one and they were partly right. Ray Allen and Paul Pierce bounced back with good games while LeBron played almost as poorly as he did in the first game. Pierce ended the game with 19 points   more...

Difficult to watch, but Rondo took it like a champ.

Is there any question about this foul warranting an ejection?

...it looks like we're going to get at least one Oscar-worthy performance from LeBron per game. LBJ%20hurt.jpgTonight it happened on a flagrant foul on Posey. LeBron was driving, Posey reached out to stop him -- obviously going for the foul, but he went for the ball -- LeBron happened to drop his   more...

Immediately following tonight's game, Cheryl Miller interviewed Kevin Garnett. They talked about getting back to playing "Celtics Basketball", and what that meant. Mainly, KG said (and I'm paraphrasing), that it meant playing unselfishly, giving yourself on both ends of the court and keeping your   more...

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen all played tonight but limited minutes as KG played 14 minutes and Pierce and Ray played 17 minutes. Rajon Rondo and James Posey both had the night off. Sam Cassell started at the point and finished with 9 points and 4 assists in 19 minutes.It was fan   more...

We knew that one way or the other, the three stars that are Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen would come to play sooner or later. Right from the start, all three did what they've been doing all season: They fed the guy with the hot hand (Pierce early, Allen in the third quarter, Garnett   more...
