Glen Davis in the NFL?

By George ⋅ November 6, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Football and Basketball are not that different. Both sports require you to be freakishly athletic, strong, and jumping ability is a must. You have to be good with your hands whether you are an offensive lineman trying to fend off a defensive end, a wide receiver trying to grab a pass, or a shooting guard [...]

Celtics Close in on No. 2 Seed, Beat Heat

By KC Downey ⋅ April 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics have seized their late-season opportunity to grab hold of the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed. With a 105-98 win over the Heat Friday night, the Celts have won six straight games, and now lead the Magic by two games with three left to play. Paul Pierce helped ensure the C’s second straight 60-win [...]

Pierce Helps Celtics Clinch Atlantic

By KC Downey ⋅ March 19, 2009 ⋅ One comment

As if there was any doubt, the Celtics officially clinched the Atlantic Division Wednesday night. The 2nd place 76ers can win no more than 51 games (the C’s current win total), and the Celts have already won the season series tie-breaker. In a game without Ray Allen (out with an elbow injury), Kevin Garnett (out [...]

Celtics Never Give up in Loss to Heat

By Geoff ⋅ March 12, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

The Celtics and Heat played a close game in the first half with many lead changes, but a strong third quarter for Miami led to a big lead to start the fourth. However, the Celtics fought back throughout the final quarter and managed to get within one point, but still came up short against Miami in [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 18 (2-23 – 3-1)

By Pete Rampino ⋅ March 3, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

There are only three weeks left in the fantasy regular season. If you are mathematically out of the playoffs then please don’t stop trying. I find that when I am in that situation, it is fun to play “spoiler.” If I face a team on the cusp of making it to the playoffs or facing [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 17 (2-16 – 2-22)

By Pete Rampino ⋅ February 24, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

With just one month left in the regular fantasy season, you should start making a push for a playoff spot. If you are like me in one of my other leagues, you have no shot at making the playoffs. However, I will still be trying to the very end. I can’t stand it when someone [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 6 (12-1 – 12-7)

By KC Downey ⋅ December 9, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The lesson for this week’s Fantasy Basketball Review is to always…ALWAYS set your rosters. There are a few ways to do it: you can set your roster for the week if you don’t plan on making any pickups, or you can set your roster everyday. Usually, I elect option B, but I missed on day [...]

Fantasy Basketball Review: Week 2 (11-3 – 11-9)

By Pete Rampino ⋅ November 11, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Two weeks in and where do you stand? Don’t sweat it, this is a marathon, not a sprint. What I haven’t seen much of this season is a breakout performer. It just seems the usual suspects are the ones who are the best, which is what is supposed to happen. We will see though, we [...]

Powe Powers Celtics Over Heat

By KC Downey ⋅ March 31, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

Leon Powe finished with a game-high 17 points and 13 rebounds as the Celtics held the pitiful Heat to an NBA season-low 17 field goals in an 88-62 win. With the win, the Celtics got their first season sweep of the Heat since the 1998-1999 season. A shadow of their former selves, the Heat have [...]

Celtics Turn Up the Heat

By KC Downey ⋅ December 1, 2007 ⋅ One comment

The Celtics dominated again. Despite a late rally by the Heat, the C’s still won 95-85 (NBA.com Box Score). With the loss, Miami dropped to 4-11 on the season, and I think they should be better than that. Dwayne Wade isn’t totally healthy and Shaq just isn’t the same anymore. If the Celtics’ defensive game [...]

A Trap Game in the NBA?

By KC Downey ⋅ November 16, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

If there is a such thing as a trap game in the NBA, tonight’s game is definitely that. It pits the 7-0 Boston Celtics against the 1-7 Miami Heat. On paper, it’s on obvious blowout. The Heat are terrible this year. They have little bench depth, Shaq is getting older, and Pat Riley is losing [...]
