Under-reacting to Pierce’s Performance

By ⋅ May 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s not overreact. Let’s not do what The Sports Hub’s Felger and Mazz did today. Let’s not pretend what happened in Game 2 was something more than it really was. Paul Pierce recorded 36 points and and grabbed 14 rebounds in Game 2 against the Hawks. Is 36 points impressive?  Sure.  Is 14 rebounds impressive? [...]

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. There have been countless injuries, and of course the endless free agency speculation involving Magic center Dwight Howard. Despite all that, TV ratings are up over last year and the [...]

SoB NBA Power Rankings: Week 7

By ⋅ February 12, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1)  Chicago Bulls (23-6) – The Bulls are rolling over teams right now. That, combined with a semi-rough week out of OKC, puts Bulls are back on top. Seriously, four straight blowout wins on the road. Impressive. 2)  Oklahoma City Thunder (21-6) – OKC suffered two losses this week which pushes them down into the [...]

Trading Paul Pierce: The Truth Hurts

By ⋅ January 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Celtics need to trade Paul Pierce. As a rational sports fan, I’ve come to realize that this is the best option. The Celtics aren’t going to win the NBA Championship this year, and they won’t be able to win it again with their current nucleus. So they need to blow it up. This starts [...]

Three years. When the newest incarnation of the “Big Three” came together back in the summer of 2007, they were given a three-year window to revive Celtic pride and bring a few championships back to Boston. Three years. Danny Ainge and Celtics brass were willing to pull the trigger on deals to bring perennial All-Stars [...]

After the longest losing streak since April 2007, the Celtics finally put another tally in the win column Wednesday night, dusting off the Gino video as they beat the Toronto Raptors, 96-73.

Ok, guys. I promise I won’t rank Sacramento #14 again. My mistake. Can you really blame me though? It was so early! Every team has played at least 5 games now. That means much better opinions and analysis. Enjoy!

By ⋅ December 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Just when you thought Shaq would go quietly into a peaceful retirement (OK, no one thought that), the legendary center will be joining TNT when the NBA resumes action on Christmas Day. Shaq, who played the final season of his career in Boston, retired in part due to nagging injuries to his feet and legs. [...]
