Why would a Boston Celtics fan want Larry Brown, one of the best pro basketball coaches ever, to jump ship from the Charlotte Bobcats and join the Philadelphia 76ers? Simple. Symmetry. By that I mean Rasheed Wallace will have a home next season in Philadelphia. It would be a perfect fit as Brown is one [...]

I received a lot of emails, messages and even an angry phone call about my Top 10 Boston sports icons (athletes, coaches and builders). There were a few themes involved in the messages I received: 1. Ted Williams should have been higher (1st, 2nd or 3rd instead of 4th). My answer: I could be inclined [...]

Here’s a column that ran in today’s Eagle-Tribune It was another eventful weekend of sports, here and everywhere. There was the annual college football playoff debate. There was the NFL draft debate. There was another disheartening Celtics loss. And there was another dominating Bruins win. And lest we forget about our teams on vacation, the [...]

No, I’m not a media critic, but there are some games of interest the rest of this week, beginning tonight. Here they are: Tonight NBA: Atlanta at New Orleans, 8 p.m. Both teams are undefeated and both have Boston connections. The Hawks pushed the Celtics to seven games in the opening round of the NBA [...]
Game 1 of this series was huge in terms of excitement. Tonight is bigger. Anywhere within a quarter-mile of the TD Banknorth Garden rocked. Thousands, and I mean thousands of fans wearing something green or Celtics-related are roaming the streets awaiting the start of the game. Every bar near the Garden had a one-hour wait [...]
Ten thoughts after Game 5 last night: 1. These NBA Finals with the Celtics and Lakers are starting to feel like Sox-Yankees games in relation to the length of the games. Last night’s Game 5 lasted exactly three hours. Games 1, 2 and 4 lasted 2:44 while Game 3 lasted 2:48. If you’re wondering if [...]

The Celtics have not only owned the third quarter for this NBA finals series with the Lakers, outscoring them 116-73, but they’ve pretty much owned the key quarter for the entire playoffs. The Celtics own a 604 to 502 advantage in scoring in the third quarter, which averages out to 25.2 for the Celtics and [...]
The Celtics 97-91 win over the Lakers in Game 4 was special. You could hand out MVP trophies to several people last night. Here would be my Top 5. Paul Pierce: He literally willed the Celtics to a win in the finals. While his numbers (20 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists) were close to Kobe [...]
A few things on my mind heading into tonight’s game: *Aren’t ABC, ESPN and the NBA being a tad disingenuous when they put the 8:30 p.m. time on the teasers for the NBA Finals games? Sometimes it is noted that “coverage begins” at 8:30 p.m., but the point is they all realize 9 p.m. doesn’t [...]
We could list about a dozen, but I’m looking for one. If the Celtics do “this” they will tomorrow night. What is it? I have a busy day chasing Celtics-related stories. I will be talking to Denver Nuggets coach George Karl, whose son Koby Karl is a 25-year-old rookie, out of Boise State, with the [...]
