Sports: Congrats to the Bahstin Celtics for blowing it to the Orlando Magic

  • “Every time we got it down to seven or four they made another big shot,” said Doc Rivers. “I mean, they’re a hell of a basketball team, and they played probably their best game.”
  • Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers • Whose team went from force of nature to merely pretty good in the last year. Granted, losing Kevin Garnett to injury didn’t help their cause, but let’s just say we expected better of them. • source

Sports: Yo, Glen Davis! I know you won – but DON’T PUSH MY SON!

  • The NBA makes it clear to not cross the sideline. If I cross that line, the NBA will take away my tickets. It’s a double standard.
  • Fan Ernest Provetti • Who had a bit of an emotional moment after the Boston Celtics’ Glen Davis, in a fit of passion after hitting an amazing game-winning shot last night, pushed Provetti’s son Nicholas on the way to celebrate with his teammates. Provetti sent an angry letter to the NBA claiming Davis was a “raging animal with no regard for fans’ personal safety,” but later backed off that claim after he was asked about it later. • source

Sports: Evidence the Boston Celtics made a pact with the devil last season

  • first Kevin Garnett, the lynchpin of the trio that led the Celtics to the NBA championship last season, may apparently miss the playoffs this year due to injury. Time to fret for the Celtics’ future.
  • second Danny Ainge, the architect of the deal that made the Celtics contenders again, had a mild heart attack today. He’s doing OK considering, but we’re concerned there may be a curse at play here.

Sports: Stephon Marbury: Knicks drama over, are the Celtics next?

  • That’s what appears to be the case. Marbury spent months embroiled in drama with his former team, who worked out a buyout with him yesterday. He hasn’t been on the basketball court lately as a result of the drama. The Celtics seem to be his next spot. While Boston themselves wouldn’t comment, Marbury told the Boston Globe he was “excited about the new beginning.” Personally, we blame the Starburys. source
