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...

A MUST SEE VIDEO.....................

Paul Pierce was fined $25,000 for the gesture that you can see him make to Al Horford at the 30-second mark of the video above. It occurred during game three of their first-round series with Atlanta. Kurt Streeter of the LA Times threw down his take yesterday. After speaking with him, he has agreed   more...

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

The Celtics-Hawks series is now tied at 2-2 to everyone's surprise, and KG lets everybody know how he feels about Atlanta getting back into this series. Just take a look at this vicious elbow that he lays down for Hawks forward Zaza Pachulia. The Hawks now have a fighting chance to defeat the   more...

As for the KG and ZaZa skirmish in game 4, I have to say KG got the last word. With just over 2 minutes to play in the 3rd, KG set a great pick and dropped Pachulia to the ground, allowing Rondo to run past. It was great. KG didn't take the bait this time when Pachulia came after him and just kept   more...

Here is a look at the Celtics first round opponents, the Atlanta Hawks.Point Guard:Mike Bibby, 6'2", 190 lbs, 29 years old13.9 PPG, 6 APG, 1.1 SPG, 14.55 PERBibby is a deadly outside shooter with a quick release, skills which make him among the league's better scoring point guards.

Terrence Howard gets you pumped up for the NBA Playoffs.

I read several comments questioning why Doc still had his starters in with 3 plus minutes left in game 2. Here is a reminder of why you never let up in a game, even though you may think you have the game won with 30 seconds to go.Granted Atlanta doesn't have a TMac, but they do have Joe Johnson who   more...

The Celtics flew to Atlanta and apparently left their defense in Boston. There was no sight of the league's best defense in this game as the Celtics allowed the Hawks to shoot 47% for the game and 56% from beyond the arc. Apparently the Celtics left their effort in Boston also as they allowed the   more...

The Celtics fooled around a bit in the 1st half, but regained their form in the 2nd half to trounce the Atlantic Hawks 104-81 in the 1st game of their 1st round series. Ray Allen lead the Celtics in scoring with 18 in a balanced attack from the Celtics who had 6 folks in double figures, and Kevin   more...

After watching the Spurs get totally beat down by the Suns in their game 4, I don't feel so bad about the Celtics loss to the Hawks. The Spurs were just totally outplayed in that game. But then again, the Hawks can't be considered in the Suns category. Every team can let down and get beat by a team   more...

After a steal in game 7 of the Celtics-Hawks series, Rajon Rondo was ahead of everyone on a break and was grabbed around the neck and thrown to the ground by Marvin Williams. It looked as though he landed on his tail bone and could have been seriously injured. He stayed on the floor for a long time   more...

It is pretty obvious to all involved that the Hawks are over matched in this series. Mike Bibby has taken it on himself to put some life into it by first attacking the fans and calling them bandwagon jumpers and fair weather fans and last night, before the game, he increased his attack to include   more...

Please, feel free to send in ones you think are better. When I saw this, I was in AWE. All I could think of was Ode to Rondo and Ode to the back of his head.
