Celtics

Yesterday the Red Sox came out gunning for this win. K. Youkilis hit a round tripper in the top of the 1st inning to get the Sox going. After Toronto was able to sacrifice a run in, in the bottom of the first to tie the game 1-1,  J. Lester went into a zone and just shut them down.

As we got closer, we realized that they were watching the end of the Celtics/Bulls game seven match-up. As we muscled our way into the crowd to get a better look at the screen, I noticed a sports-radio commentator for the Rays that was set up right near the entrance. No doubt the radio station's intention was to have this commentator discuss Rays baseball with a restaurant full of Rays fans, but this particular night they would have no such luck. The radio commentator was having a very difficult time hearing his radio callers over the cheers of excited Bostonians as the clock dwindled and it seemed apparent that the

People are calling this the best playoff series ever, but it all comes to an end tonight. This has been a back and forth epic battle with a different "main man" stepping up for both teams in each game (including the 4 overtimes in 6 games, an NBA record).

Many may doubt a repeat from the Boston Celtics due to the trades made out in the Eastern Conference. Definitely, many teams have improved with regards to their line-up. You have Toronto with two imposing big men, then you also have Philadelphia adding up Elton Brand. The Eastern Conference has beefed up for sure but as the saying goes, "Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion."

s, Patrick O'Bryant

===================================================

James Posey leaving the Celtics will have a small impact but this in tact unit can still carry the load left by Pose. There are many other role players in this line-up that can provide enough stats and determination to assist the team. Adding Patrick O'Bryant is a good move coz Perk will have a legitimate back-up center. There's no more P.J. Brown as well, which means that the veteran leadership will shift into the Big Three and to Sam Cassell as well.

He could lead a team, establish defense and impose himself offensively if he wants to.

The Boston Celtics is the best team because they have come up with the winning formula to capture a crown. Though many say that the "Big Three" does it all, we can't just disregard the bench and the role players who's ready to step up in any given situation.

Boston Celtics... the Celtics. Many, many names... Russell, Cousy, Heinsohn, White, Havlicek, Cowens, Nelson, Sharman, Bird, McHale, Parrish, Pierce, Garnett, Ray Allen. This team is so foaming with famous people, that even an executive is legendary. Red built the team, coached them to championships, made the decisions, et cetera.

After years of misery and torture with the young and rebuilding Celtics, he finally can win the big one. He had always been an offensive threat but this year has really improved on the defensive side. Pierce was able to shut down King James for all but the end of the series and Tayshaun Prince in the Eastern Conference Finals. When the

Allen Impersonator Detained, Guard Returns to Lineup

Prior to game 5 of the Celtics-Pistons Conference Champioship series, Ray Allen was freed from the basement of Pat “Sully” Sullivan of Quincy Massachusetts and finally, after several weeks in captivity, returned to the

The first two are the traditional powerhouses of NBA history with the most championships. The closest team are the Jordan-led Bulls with six championships - that is 9 less than how much Lakers won and 10 less than

This really highlighted the Celtics shortcomings. KG puts so much effort into both his offense and defense, that at times he overwhelms himself and just can't keep up with these younger forwards. The reason being, Stone Hands/ Cement Feet Kendrick Perkins is getting outrebounded, pump faked, and beat off mediocre turn arounds, left and right. KG has to get Perk's back. Ray Allen, although at times seems to be a sufficient enough defender, gets caught up in screens and lost underneath the hoop on backdoor cuts, which leads to KG getting his back. Paul Pierce, who defended like he did in his early years, is sometimes just not athletic enough to defend against the Joe Johnsons and LeBron James's. Thus this leads to KG stepping into the lane to get Pierce's back. Ultimately, KG is often defending 4-5 guys every time down the court. That's just unfair to expect him to do this for 40+ minutes.

Abysmal is the word. Celtics haven't been the most prolific of teams when it comes to score, but they maintained an excellent balance between their sublime defence and formidable offensive options that they ended up winning 66 games. The defence is still top-notch - as is evident with LeBron James' performance. However, the offence does not support the effort from the other side of the court. And every stolen possession gets wasted by a horribly executed shot.

The Celtics had the night off. And the Bruins flat out took the night off.  Just when I thought it looked like the Bruins might have found their identity, they went back to skating on thin ice.  They lowly Maple Leafs drowned the B's 8-2. The Big, Really Bad Bruins seem to be back to their old habits, losing.  But luckily for me, I could care less.  I won a whopping $20 bucks in a poker game.

There was no way.  But Danny Did It.  Not "Flutie Did It"  Danny Did It.  The young and up and going nowheres were gone and replaced by a couple of Hall of Famers, Garnett and Allen, and a couple of cagey vets, House and Posey.  Add the Hungry Man, Paul Pierce to the mix, and Danny's got a pretty tasty TV dinner on the table.

I call myself the Sports Sage so that should give you a clue as to just how dumb I really am when it comes to actual sports knowledge. I watch sports because they are exciting, inspirational and free on TV. They happen in real time and have predictable commercials. Often we get to ooh and Ahhh at things that we will almost never be able to do while watching grown up people like us at play. Its a lot more fun than watching regular people like us work.
