By ⋅ May 23, 2010 ⋅ One comment

This game was over in the first quarter. This series was over and given a brilliant summation with just under 9 minutes in the first half, with an all-out hustle play by Rajon Rondo that would make Larry Bird proud, to dive and take the ball (and the series) away from Jason Williams and the [...]

By ⋅ December 26, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Perhaps Stan Van Gundy was upset for getting the proverbial “coal” in his stocking after an 86-77 loss to the Celtics on Christmas Day. Perhaps he doesn’t fully understand how lucrative it is for his team to be featured on big prime-time games. Perhaps he was upset he didn’t have time to open his presents [...]
