Traiblazers-Celtics could be a good one tonight. Marc Spears of the Globe has a good piece on the Greg Oden saga. Lots of what ifs for Boston fans. Oden is sharp enough to realize that. From the story: “There is always going to be that pressure,” Oden said. “What if Greg went to Boston? There’s [...]
Greg Oden and the Portland Trailblazers, excuse me, the Blazers featuring Greg Oden, will be in town Friday night. Not that Oden’s been terrible, but Brandon Roy (21.1 ppg) and LaMarcus Aldridge (15.9 ppg) have been outstanding. Obviously, a lot is expected out of Oden, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 draft. Probably [...]
Rajon Rondo walked through the locker room chewing on a big block of ice. “My teeth are in so it’s fine,” he said. Fat lip aside (T.J. Ford hit him in the mouth in the first quarter; it wasn’t a finger injury, my brilliant initial diagnosis.), he was feeling pretty good about himself. Rightfully so. [...]
It’s 110-94 with 2:03 remaining. Gino’s on the JumboTron. Be back in a bit with more on Rondo’s big night.
Gotta love Eddie House. He just got called for his fifth personal foul. He’s played 11 minutes. Eddie put his hands up incredulously afterward. Jarrett Jack hit the deck. House might’ve poked him in the eye. I’m not sure. Gotta love the drunk guy sitting behind us. “SCALLLLLAABREEEENNNNIIIIEEEEEEE!” Guess this one’s out of reach. Rajon [...]
Indiana cut the Boston lead to eight (90-82) after Troy Murphy’s 3-point play. Then Kevin Garnett hit one off the bank. Then Ray Allen hit a three. Then Paul Pierce hit a three. Lead’s back up to 16.
Boston seems to be drifting a bit after building a 20-plus point lead in the third. Now the Celtics are only up 15. Ray Allen’s 26 leads all scorers. Forgot to mention this before. Perk is a Beast has an interesting examination of the C’s.
Today is a good day for Rajon Rondo. At 6:56 in the third quarter, the third-year point guard already has a triple-double (13 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists). The Celtics are running the Pacers ragged. Ray Allen just dunked a ball over Troy Murphy , nearly falling on him in the process. By the way, [...]
The Celtics didn’t exactly blow Indiana away in the second, but still have a 57-51 lead. Ray Allen looked flat out awesome in the first half, scoring 19 points (6 of 10) and going 3 for 3 from the line. He also played 20 minutes, which probably is a bit much for Doc Rivers’ liking. [...]
Roy Hibbert is in the game. He just scored on an uncontested layup. Shouldn’t a 7-foot-2 guy be dunking the ball?!? Watching him lumber up and down the court brings me back to the story my brother, who lives in Washington, D.C., told me recently. He was jogging one afternoon in Georgetown last spring and [...]
