I don’t think the Lakers know what they’re getting into here. I believe Phil Jackson believes his nine championships will somehow rub off on his team, which is a very good team, and lead them to an NBA title. I don’t see it. I have a story going in tomorrow’s Eagle-Tribune, with 10 reasons why [...]
The Pistons apparently will not waste any time replacing their head coaching vacancy (Flip Saunders was fired on Monday). Assistant Michael Curry is expected to be named the new head coach on Friday. The announcement is reportedly being withheld until the first game of the NBA Finals is played tomorrow night at the TD Banknorth [...]
Give the Celtics credit. They are playing their best basketball when it counts the most. The fact that they held the Pistons to 81 points, in Detroit, says it all. The Celtics were fantastic last night. Even though they fell behind, 70-60, you sort of knew it wasn’t over over yet. Well, the Celtics outscored [...]
Here are the dates of the NBA Finals: Game 1: Thurs., June 5, at Eastern Conference champion … Boston Game 2: Sun., June 8, at Eastern Conference champion … Boston. Game 3: Tues., June 10, at Western Conference champion Los Angeles. Game 4: Thur., June 12, at Western Conference champion Los Angeles. (if necessary) Game [...]
As I noted in my column today, in my opinion, Ray Allen has changed everything. The Celtics have limped throught the playoffs, basically winning at home, because Allen hasn’t been that good. I believe it bodes well for tomorrow night in Detroit. Here are my five reasons why I think the Celtics will win in [...]
What’s on your mind? I’ll be around for about 10 minutes of halftime to answer any comments or questions.
It appears Sam Cassell has played his final minutes of this series. The defense and pace is too much. He was yanked immediately after less than two minutes into the second quarter (the only two minutes he played) after losing the ball to Lindsey Hunter, leading to a dunk. This came right after another Detroit [...]
A few early notes: The Pistons are going out of their way to get Chauney Billups going. He scored the first hoop on a short jumper and missed another a minute later. He also made a 3-pointer after a timeout and Pistons trailing 10-5. *** Celtics are working the ball down low to Kendrick Perkins. [...]
There is a surprise on the Celtics inactives tonight. Tony Allen won’t be dressing. He will be replaced by Brian Scalabrine. It will be Scalabrine’s first playoff game if he plays. Also joining Allen on the inactives is Scot Pollard and Gabe Pruitt. Callahan refereed Game 4 in Atlanta (Celts lost 97-92). Mauer refereed Game [...]
