I didn't watch every dribble, I was definitely doing a few things tonight but as sad as it is to say, the C's are old. If somehow you could supplant the C's teamwork and defensive mentality into the youth of the Heat, they would win 74 games. It is a tough struggle in the NBA that by the time most teams reach the height of teamwork they are also getting a little too old to show up for 48 minutes every night.

Ahhh....I'd Stay Away From The Outer Half With Manny

Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt got hit in the neck by a Manny Ramirez line drive today. He is ok and has a "Neck Bruise."
Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow will start the season on the 15 Day DL with Inflammation in his Right Forearm.

When You Lie To A Grand Jury You Embarrass The American Legal System And Should Go To Jail

Since Barry Bonds contends that he was unknowingly injected with steroids, when is the civil suit going to come where he sues BALCO and Greg Anderson for giving him steroids against his will and without his consent, which in turn led to his name being dragged through the mud for years, his reputation tarnished, and his chance for future employment with the MLB greatly diminished? Not to mention his chances for the HOF being diminished and the massive legal fees he has incurred ever since he was unknowingly injected with steroids?

"There was a leprechaun in the building"-Tommy Heinsohn

Yes, I unabashedly love Paul Pierce. If I have ever seen fans cause their team to lose a game, it just happened. With NYK up 5 and 7:28 left, Amar'e and Ray got tangled up and Amar'e pushed Ray down. Ray got the foul called on him and was pissed when he got up. In the first half Davis and Ray caught elbows. Davis from Melo and Ray from Jeffries which led to tons of blood. Addendum, Ray's was in the 3rd quarter. So Ray was pissed and those intelligent NYK fans decide to yell "Paul Pierce Sucks." The knicks keep the ball and chauncey makes a 4 point play. NYK up 9. Paul demands the ball, drives hard and attempts a dunk but gets fouled. "PP Sucks" chant continues with him on the line. He makes both. Makes a three. Makes an elbow J. 7 straight for paul and boston is down 2. The whole team is fired up. Boston cranks up the D, multiple airballs from NYK and a shot clock violation. Davis and Rondo make layups with 6'10" Amar'e covering them. If you can't tell already, this was an NBA game that got exciting! 'Melo and Rondo collide and 'Melo gets a little cut on his eye. Ray gets his cut (with a bandage on it) re-opened. Up four with a minute left Paul sticks another elbow J. THE DAGGER! Seriously, the "Paul Pierce Sucks" chant got him fired up. He took over. The celtics decided "WE WANT TO WIN" and played D. The knicks scored 8 points in the 7 and a half minutes after the chant started. 4 points on the initial possession. what was 78-73 NYK, immediately went to 82-73 NYK and ended 96-86 Celtics.

NYK

Good defense Amar'e. Nothing like giving up 2 layups to Rondo and Davis when you are 6'10".

Everybody Knows I Love Paul

The Knicks fans just exemplified everything I hate about New York sports fans. 7 straight for Paul after Ray gets thrown to the ground by Amar'e and the Knicks fans have the ingenious thought to chant "Paul Pierce Sucks" The chant doesn't even make sense.

"We're Not Going To Blame The Officials"

Jamie Dixon has more class than me. Pitt is my least favorite college basketball team. That was the worst call in the history of the NCAA Tournament and I challenge anyone to find me a worse call.
