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...

No question about it, MVP Kobe Bryant is the best shooting guard and the best player in the NBA. He averaged 28.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 5.4 APG and 1.5 SPG, while leading his team to clinch the top seed in the West. He's one of the most explosive players in the league, and if you want the ball in   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...

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...

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...

Kevin Garnett has come into Boston and turned the team around, just as he promised he would after that blockbuster trade last season. With he and Ray Allen joining Paul Pierce, the Cetics finished the regular season with the NBA's best record and are in the playoffs for the first time in several   more...

...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...

The game began like a nightmare. Boston's offense mimicked the complete lack of flow from game 1. The Cavs were triple-teaming KG on the block, not allowing him any good looks. Not only was Ray Allen missing his field goals, he was missing free-throws as well. Worst of all, the Cavs head coach   more...

After last night's loss I sat in front of my computer, searching for something to write about. I couldn't form quality, coherent sentences in my head, let alone type them out on a blog. So, here I am the following morning... and I'm going through the exact same thing.You know what it feels like?   more...
