Belated, and reluctant, Game 5 thoughts

This’ll be quick:

Lakers needed to win more, and the Celtics let them.
Gasol sure looks more agressive when Perkins is out, doesn’t he?

Slightly more coherent Game Four Thoughts

I just re-read my postgame ramblings, and man, I even confused myself. I thought about taking it down, but whatever, that’s kind of how I felt after that game. A little emotional, a little exhausted, but happy, and more than anything, rewarded.
There’s all kind of Celtics praise to go out, and I fully plan on [...]

On being a fan (Or Game Four Thoughts)

It’s midnight right now, and I should be in bed. Really, at this point in my life, I should have been in bed hours ago. Problem is, I just watched the Celtics come back from a 21 point first quarter deficit, battle back, fighting, playing absolutely stifling defense like nothing I have ever seen..
Maybe tomorrow [...]

Game Three Thoughts

Watched this game while playing bar trivia, so my thoughts are a little muddled. And not just because of the g and t’s I was drinking, either. Watching this game basically confirmed for me that I hate people. Watching this game with at the same time as us, in the Bear Brew, was a crew [...]

Game two thoughts

I was a little worried about last night’s game, right up until the moment where Kobe started the game with two ticky tack fouls that never should have been called, and Pierce hit a clutch three. At that point, I started feeling better.
Unfortunately, I’m 105 years old, so I couldn’t make it through the whole [...]

More thoughts on Game One of the Finals

So, I’m a day or so late with these thoughts, but what else is new. (I’ve been busy, I’ve been away, blah blah blah.)
Obviously, a lot of this game was about Paul Pierce, and his knee. When he emerged from the locker room, you could see the crowd lift up before the cameras actually came [...]

Thoughts on Game One of the Finals

Yowsah.

A way too long Finals Preview, but first a review

NBA Armageddon is upon us. Celtics/Lakers Finals. Red vs. Phil. Kobe vs. himself. Paul Pierce vs. LA.
General consensus seems to be that the Lakers will win big. Well, I’ll get to that. First, a moment to revel in Friday night’s win.

A couple basketball thoughts

Celts are up by a game, going into Game 6 in Detroit. I won’t be watching game 6, I’ll be up opening up camp. I might be listening to the radio, assuming I can get any reception at all, but we often can’t, so I might very well not know who wins the game until [...]

Celts/Pistons Game 2

Well.
I guess the Celtics will have to win on the road, after all.
Not a lot of mystery to this game, the Celtics just got out played. Despite decent (but despite some reports, not great) efforts from Pierce/Garnett/Allen, the Pistons were pretty much in control of the game from the middle of the second quarter on.
