Philly Writer Calls Boston Sports Fans “Bigoted” and “Racist”

By ⋅ May 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Are Boston sports fans racist? Bigoted? Why are we asking this question again? Well, take a moment (that’s all it will take) to read Philly.com sportswriter John Mitchell’s 243-word (wow!) masterpiece of a “column” titled “KG: ‘fair-weathered’ beats bigoted any day.” West Philadelphia born and raised, as the writer so eloquently describes in his biography, Mitchell [...]

The Felger & Mazz Agenda: Not Fact Or Opinion

By ⋅ April 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

A year and a half ago when the ratings at WEEI began to falter, Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti offered something refreshing. It was an alternative to what had become the Big Show’s stale rhetoric on WEEI. Also, by starting out as an FM station and adding the Bruins broadcast rights, 98.5 immediately gained street [...]

Strong 3rd Quarter Powers Celtics Past Nets

By ⋅ April 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston got a good challenge from lowly New Jersey, but even the presence of Rex Ryan couldn’t get the Nets past Boston (who took the win 94-82). Boston had trouble getting ahead of New Jersey early, and couldn’t get past a five-point lead in the first five minutes without New Jersey immediately making a move [...]

By ⋅ March 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been a strange NBA season to say the least. We had the lockout to start the season and that produced this ridiculous condensed schedule.

Rasheed Wallace to Sign with the Lakers

By ⋅ February 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The lasting memory Boston fans have of Rasheed Wallace is him giving everything he had left in the Finals against the Lakers in 2010.

Rajon Rondo will be joining teammate Paul Pierce in Orlando this weekend. No, he’s not on a trip to recruit Dwight Howard (though, that would be nice). He’s going to be an Eastern Conference All-Star, replacing injured Hawks guard Joe Johnson (knee). Rondo, who missed eight games this season with a sprained wrist, has made [...]

By ⋅ February 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Rajon Rondo received his first career ejection during Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons for throwing the ball at a official Sean Wright. Rondo felt he was fouled.

By ⋅ December 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When Jeff Green went down for the season with an aortic aneurysm, he left a gaping hole on the wing for the Celtics. Then, Paul Pierce injured his heel.

Boston Celtics basketball finally got underway Sunday in Toronto, with Boston narrowly coming out on top 76-75.
