Bloodbath begins Thursday Night between the Bruins...
Hey Ma! Where’s the Playoff Switch again?!?
Showdown in South Beach!
Showdown in the Windy City!
Block party for Celtics
The Boston Celtics took care of business last night, dispatching the Philadelphia 76ers, 99-82. Both teams were swinging heavy gloves in the first half, but it was the Celtics who held Philly without a point to start the second half for almost five minutes.
Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo led the C’s with 18 and 16 points respectively. Rondo controlled the pace of the game all night,...

Celtics look to finish regular season strong
A possible preview of the first round will be taking place tonight when the Boston Celtics host the Philadelphia 76ers. Philly currently holds the 6-seed with a 40-37 record, and the Celtics find themselves a half game behind the Miami Heat for the 2-seed.
The C’s will look to add some more bodies to the lineup tonight as Nenad Kristic and Troy Murphy returned to the practice court...

LBJ heads to South Beach
As if you thought LeBron James would stay in Cleveland, he’s taking a lot of money, and bringing his game to Miami, where he will form a star-studded lineup featuring Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Now the question that begs to be answered, did James quit on Cleveland when they lost to the Celtics?
It almost seems that once James realized the Celtics were going to be a very tough out in...

Despite the bumps and bruises, Red Sox keep...
John Lackey won his seventh straight game at Fenway Park this season, improving to 9-3, as the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 8-5. The win moves the Red Sox ahead of the Rays for second-place in the AL East (1st in the Wild-Card), and knots the season-series at four games apiece.
Last night’s game started as a classic pitching duel, with James Shields matching Lackey in...
Donovan's goal in the 91st-minute advances the US
It will forever be known in American soccer folklore as “the goal”. With the game deadlocked at zero, and 90 minutes already in the books, it was the US making the most of the extra time.
With England defeating Slovenia, 1-0, the US could not settle for a draw, or else they would’ve been sent home, but the play of the game, and perhaps the history of American soccer, took 11...
US is focused on advancing to elimination stage
It’s simple, if the US defeat Algeria today, they will advance into the elimination stage for the third time since returning as a consistent World Cup team back in 1990 (after not qualifying in four decades). Our Americans have yet to win a game in this year’s cup, although they haven’t lost one yet either (1-1 draw vs England, 2-2 draw vs Slovenia).
Even when the US advanced...
Lakers force Game 7 with dominating performance,...
Well, it’s here! A Game 7 will be played in the 2010 NBA Finals, and there really is no other way for these two juggernauts to finish their season. Many local fans speculated that the Celtics would have to beat the Lakers, and the officials if they wanted to win the championship in Game 6, considering that the NBA would want to have a Game 7.
That wasn’t the case last night, as...
Paul Pierce delivers in Celtics victory, 92-86
It’s only fitting that the Boston Celtics won the last game played at the Garden on Causeway Street for the season. The win gives the Celtics a 3-2 series advantage heading back to Los Angeles. If the Celts can win one of the next two games, they will be crowned NBA Champions for the 18th time in franchise history, a feat that many people felt was impossible given the way the Green team...
Davis and Robinson spark Celtics win, 96-89
With perhaps the season on the line, trailing 62-60 entering the fourth-quarter, Doc Rivers opted to go with the bench to provide a lift. Glen Davis, Nate Robinson, Rasheed Wallace, and Tony Allen combined their powers with Ray Allen, the only starter on the floor, fueling a 36-point fourth-quarter outburst that left the Lakers in defeat, and knotting this series at 2.
You really can’t...
Lakers steal one in Boston, 91-84
The Celtics started the game off like world-beaters, led by a furious scoring attack by Kevin Garnett, and Rajon Rondo who appeared to start right where he left off from his Game 2 excellence. But, the adrenaline quickly wore off, and after the Celtics led 12-5 early, the Lakers embarked on a 21-5 run to end the quarter with a 9 point lead.
In the early going, it was Garnett and Rondo who...
Celtics come off the mat to tie this at 1, 103-94
In most cases, when Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett only combine for 16 points on 4-16 shooting, the Boston Celtics aren’t going to be successful. Unless of course, Ray Allen decides to go unconscious with an NBA Finals record 8 three-pointers, leading the way with 32 points. Add-in the first triple-double in the NBA Finals since 2003, courtesy of Rajon Rondo’s 19 points, 12 rebounds,...
Lakers draw first blood, taking Game 1, 102-89
If last night was a heavyweight bout, then score the knockdowns to the Lakers corner, because it was the Celtics who were sent to the canvas. The Lakers outplayed, outhustled, and outmuscled the Celtics for 48 minutes, giving our beloved C’s a taste of their own medicine.
They dictated the pace of the game, never allowing the Celtics to get running; although it was hard for any flow to...

The Celtics are heading back to the Finals
It’s been a little over 24 hours since the Boston Celtics avoided being a part of history, wiping the floor with the Orlando Magic, 96-84. The joy is still plastered all over my face, my voice is raspy from the concert-like atmosphere that is TD Garden, and my Celtics are making their second NBA Finals appearance in the last three seasons. It doesn’t get any better than this…...
Celtics face must-win situation tonight
First it was an overtime loss that escaped the Celtics grasps in Game 4, on Wednesday night, it was a 21-point beat down in the fashion of a boxing match, where the C’s absorbed body-blows and head-shots (literally), which included two concussions, and some of Glen Davis’ teeth left on the floor. Now, it’s time for Celtics to restore order, as Game 6 returns to the Garden on...
Magic refuse to lay down, keeping series alive
Ok, so the Orlando Magic aren’t going to go home quietly. They showed some moxy last night, and pulled out an exciting overtime victory over the Boston Celtics, 96-92. A lot of teams in the same situation as the Magic would’ve laid down, but Stan Van Gundy and his players kept their heads, and now they return home with some much needed momentum looking to continue this series.
The...
Celtics look to punch their tickets to the Finals...
Don’t look now, but the Boston Celtics are one game away from sweeping the Orlando Magic, and advancing back to the NBA Finals. On Saturday night, it was the Celtics who embarrassed the Magic, 94-71 (and it wasn’t even that close). The C’s were fueled by dominating first and third quarter runs, where they held the Magic to 12 and 13 points respectively.
Once again (like this...
Red Sox showing signs of life?
Don’t look now, but the Boston Red Sox have actually started playing good baseball. They have won three in a row, and find themselves two games over .500. The question that remains now, will they be able to sustain this consistent play?
The Sox have a tough 6-game road-trip coming up as they head to Philadelphia for a 3-game set to take on the 25-15 Phillies. That will be followed with...
Celtics take two from Orlando
In case if you haven’t noticed, the Boston Celtics are a well-oiled machine right now. Last night, they dispatched the Orlando Magic, 95-92, taking Game 2, and increasing anxiety throughout the Magic and their fan base as this series shifts to Beantown.
Right now, it’s coming down to the fact that the Magic don’t have enough answers for the Celtics, or if you want to spin it...
Celtics outmuscle Howard, taking Game 1, 92-88
The Orlando Magic had the last week off heading into yesterdays Game 1 since they made quick work of the Atlanta Hawks. The Boston Celtics had two days off before lacing up the gloves for this heavyweight bout, and they were just coming off a physical 6-game series over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Were the Magic showing signs of rust being off for that long? Yea, I suppose they were, even though...
Celtics close chapter on Cavs, advance to...
The Garden on Causeway Street was electric last night, and rightfully so, as the Boston Celtics sent the Cleveland Cavaliers home with a 94-85 victory. The Celtics will now head to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second time in the last three years to face the Orlando Magic, who have yet to lose in this year’s playoffs.
Last night was epic stuff. From Kevin Garnett’s...
The Celtics will try to close things out tonight...
In Game 3, it was LeBron James exploding for 21 of his 38 points in the first quarter, silencing the Celtics and the crowd, handing the worst playoff loss at home for Boston in its storied franchise. Thankfully, the Celts showed up in Game 4, and rode the brilliant play of Rajon Rondo, who recorded a triple-double (29 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists) on his way to tearing up...
With the series now tied at 3, the B's look to...
They were so close to pulling off the sweep. Mark Recchi had tied the game with 32 seconds left, ripping the hearts out of the Philly faithful, until those same hearts were restored when the Flyers won it in overtime. Tough loss no doubt, but the B’s still played tough, and you figured they’ll just take care of business at home in Game 5. Wrong! instead, the B’s laid a...
Bruins silence the Philly crowd
The Black and Gold continued their winning ways, disposing the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1, and moving one step closer to their first Conference Finals appearance since 1992. The Bruins are looking to sweep this series on Friday when they meet in Game 4.
This postseason just continues to get better. Last night, it was the Flyers who scored first (taking their first lead in the series), only...
Sox look to get it together at home
The Boston Red Sox couldn’t have asked for a better time to play the LA Angels. The Sox have won two in a row, and the sputtering Angels are in the midst of a 5-game losing streak.
Monday’s 17-8 win was followed by Jon Lester’s masterful perfomance in a 5-1 victory. Lester tossed 8 innings of 1-run ball, while striking-out 5. The game was knotted at 1 in the bottom of the...
Celtics take Cavs to the hardwood, 104-86
Now last night is what four quarters of basketball is supposed to look like. Yea, yea, Cleveland made a run in the 4th that cut a 25-point deficit to 10, further proving that no lead is ever safe, especially against LeBron and company… But the way the C’s put their foot on the gas to end that game was all worth it, and now this series is tied at 1 heading to Beantown.
Once again,...
Lucic buries home game-winner, B's take 2-0 lead
Wooooooo!!! Another dramatic finish at the Garden, and the Bruins find themselves up 2-0 heading to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Wednesday. You have to feel good about winning the first two in Boston, but there is plenty of puck to be played before this series is over.
I happened to take in the action last night from the Garden, and what an atmosphere it was. Picture yourself being at a rock...
Celtics look to play 4 quarters this time
The Boston Celtics looked great for 2 1/2 quarters, unfortunately, it takes 4 good quarters to win a game, and that eluded them Saturday night. The Green opened up an 11-point lead at the half, controlling the tempo, and leaving Cleveland, along with its crowd, quiet for the first 24 minutes. That’s when Mo Williams, who made no impact in the first half, scored 14 points in the 3rd...
After thrilling OT win, Bruins look to keep home...
The Boston Bruins are back at it tonight, taking on the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 2 from the Garden on Causeway St. It was Marc Savard who answered the bell in his first game back, ripping the rubber past Brian Boucher in overtime to give the local’s a dramatic 5-4 win.
This series was said to be very physical before the puck had even dropped, and nothing was done to disappoint that...
The showdown begins tonight
Saturday night’s typically a portion of the weekend where we venture out, looking to enjoy the nightlife. I suggest wherever the night brings you, that a TV is present, because you don’t want to miss Game 1 between the Boston Celtics, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. This has been a rivalry that’s reached a boiling point the last few years. These two teams don’t like each...

Bruins and Flyers set to renew Playoff...
It’s in the books… The Montreal Canadiens pulled a stunning upset of the Washington Capitals, and with the victory, our Boston Bruins will host the 7-seed Philadelphia Flyers. How about the way the way the Eastern Conference has shaped itself in the battle for Lord Stanley’s Cup. The Pittsburgh Penguins were the only top seed to advance, so your looking at the 4,6,7, and 8...
Celtics close out Heat, get ready for Cavs
Postseason, new attitude, new Celtics… At least they were against the Heat, the question is, will they be ready to raise their game against the Cavaliers. So far, you have to like what you’ve seen.
This was a Celtics team that ended the regular season losing 7 of 10, owning a 27-27 mark after Christmas. They had injuries, the defense lacked effort, and they were out-rebounded on...
Bruins send Sabres packing
The golf courses have been contacted, the tee-times are set, and it won’t be the Boston Bruins dusting off the clubs just yet. That’s right, say it with me, the Bruins have advanced to the conference semi-finals for the second straight year; Wooooo!! That may have been par for the course last season, but the up and down roller-coaster ride that best describes this year, now...
Wade goes off, Heat stay alive with 101-92 victory
Dwyane Wade shot the lights out yesterday, torching the nets for 19 points in the 4th quarter, on his way to a career playoff-high, 46. Wade’s offense was simply indefensible.
The Celtics were emotionless to start the game, and it showed when the Heat raced out of the gate, building an 18-point lead in the 1st half. When the C’s finally woke up, they used an 18-6 run going into...
Celtics look to sweep the Heat
Paul Pierce was being Paul Pierce, bleeding the clock like we’ve seen many times before, almost to the point where you say “C’mon Paul, the clock is ticking, make your move”, and then, the buzzer sounds, and it’s mass hysteria wherever you are. That’s why they call him the truth. On that particular play, it was a case of good defense, beaten by better...
Listen to the puke Sabres broadcast
I pulled this video up from youtube this morning because I wanted to get another look at the scrum that ensued in the final seconds. I came across this “lovely” Buffalo broadcast, and just listen to what these d-bag commentators have to say. I don’t know what gets me more fired up, these idiots’ comments, or what Lindy Ruff had to say after the game. The Bruins need to...
In Bill we Trust? Yea, I hope so
The Patriots drafted Devin McCourty with the 27th pick last night, passing up on some much needed pass rushers, to hopefully get the shut down corner that we’ve been looking for since Ty Law, and Asante Samuel parted ways. I just hope the Patriots have better luck with this cornerback selection, than the past few drafts.
The one pick that really bothers me, is Jerry Hughes. The...
Satan bedeviles Sabres
Woooooooo!!! I still can’t get over last night, what an incredible finish, to an instant-classic. As far as my lifetime goes, this was the best hockey game I’ve ever witnessed. Giving the Sabres only their second loss of the season when leading after two periods (both coming this series), and erasing another 2-0 deficit, the Bruins are making big plays when it matters most.
