Connelly’s Top Ten: McDonald Throws Like Ronald

By ⋅ May 7, 2012 ⋅ One comment

1. Boston Celtics: * Paul Pierce 24 points in 17 minutes (that’s 68 points if he played 48 minutes) * Rajon Rondo didn’t need to play 35 minutes in a 30-point game * Greg Stiemsma has good hands * Trade Rajon Rondo the day the playoffs are over, because his trade value will never be [...]

Connelly’s Top Ten: Celtics Playoffs / Bobby V – the Gift That Keeps on Giving

By ⋅ May 4, 2012 ⋅ One comment

1. Celtics: * No doubt a great game by Paul Pierce in Game 2, but he is shooting 38% in the series * Celtics are shooting 12% from the three-point land * I wouldn’t offer Kevin Garnett more than $12mm for next year / Ray Allen $6mm for next year * Prior to the Celtics [...]

Connelly Top Ten: Rajon Rondo, Meet Carl and Corey and Wil

By ⋅ April 30, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

1. Celtics: * Rajon Rondo has to be traded this offseason before his Sybil act fully diminishes his trade value. Sign Deron Williams and Dwight Howard * Rondo will be suspended for a game * Celtics 0-11 from three point land (0-6 for Pierce) * Avery Bradley and Paul Pierce shot 9 for 31 * [...]

2012 NHL Playoffs Expert Picks: Second Round

By ⋅ April 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The second round has begun, and it’s time to see whether the several upset-minded teams can keep their runs going. Four lower seeds made it to the second round, including the #8 Los Angeles Kings. The Kings have been picked by the majority of our panelists to make it past St. Louis after upsetting Vancouver. [...]

2012 NBA Playoffs Expert Picks: First Round

By ⋅ April 29, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The playoffs are upon us, but that doesn’t mean anyone can afford to rest any players. Derrick Rose is already out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him miss at least a vast majority of next regular season as well. The Bulls have done [...]

2011-2012 NBA Expert Picks Results

By ⋅ April 28, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

After a season without much rest for the weary, the playoffs are upon us, also without much rest for the weary. But before we talk about the playoffs, we have to recap the regular season picks our experts made back in December, and see how everything shaped up. Picking the field itself wasn’t much of [...]

2012 NHL Playoffs Expert Picks: First Round Results

By ⋅ April 27, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The first round is over, and it was full of upsets, particularly in the East. There wasn’t too much success overall picking series winners, though series length picks mitigated that somewhat. The Rangers were the easiest pick to make, though they could just as easily have lost. The Devils were the only other clear majority [...]

Connelly’s Top Ten: Bobby V Carrying City on Back, Patriots Don’t Trade Down

By ⋅ April 27, 2012 ⋅ 5 comments

1. Bruins: (read my Bruins Top Ten recap) How ironic that in 1998, Tim Taylor’s skate in the crease eliminated the Bruins against Washington Capitals and fourteen years later Tim Thomas was interfered in the crease and it wasn’t called… 2. Red Sox: * As said by many Monday morning – rainout Sunday night might [...]

Connelly’s Top Ten: Hey Bruins…The Better Team Won

By ⋅ April 26, 2012 ⋅ One comment

1. Misc: * The better team won * Bruins played at Washington’s pace and speed letting them dictate tempo and thus forcing their will upon the Bruins * Bruins needed to make this series a street fight and instead they shot pucks into Capitals shin pads * Ironic that a shot that was directed toward [...]

By ⋅ April 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

So, you turned on the Red Sox game Monday and wondered, who is that guy with Don Orsillo? Well, it’s former Twins shortstop Roy Smalley, who replaced Jerry Remy as the color commentator for NESN’s broadcast of the Red Sox-Twins game. According to NESN.com, Remy was “under the weather.” He hopes to be back in [...]

Distracted? Youkilis Marries Brady’s Sister, Has Baby On The Way

By ⋅ April 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Last week, Bobby Valentine said Kevin Youkilis isn’t “as physically or emotionally into the game as he has been in the past.” He later backtracked…but it looks as if he was right. On the field, Youkilis is hitting .190/.271/.310 with 1 HR and 5 RBI. I know it’s early, but maybe injuries and years of [...]

Derek Lowe’s 2004 World Series Ring Stolen from Florida Home

By ⋅ April 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Derek Lowe was one of the true heroes during the Red Sox World Series run in 2004. He did things no one, including him, will ever forget. Well, hopefully Lowe has a good memory, because the most important momento from that team’s win, his World Series ring, was recently stolen from his Fort Myers home, [...]

Reviewing NESN’s Jenny Dell (So Far)

By ⋅ April 23, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

The 2012 season is about a month old and already two things are very clear: I miss last year’s bullpen and last year’s “sideline” reporter. Sorry folks, but Jenny Dell is not really doing it for me. I know, I know, the women reading this are calling me a superficial pig and the fellas reading this [...]

Connelly’s Top Ten: Bruins Stay Alive, Bobby V Not So Much

By ⋅ April 23, 2012 ⋅ 4 comments

1. Bruins: * About time Lucic and Seguin did something * Crazy NHL scheduling a game on back-to-back days that included travel * Where’s Harry Sinden when you need him? Claude Julien has to get up on the boards – the penalty on Benoit Pouliot on Saturday AND Sunday absurd (considering Ovechkin got nothing for [...]
