Celtics-Cavs: Paul Pierce Leads Celtics Past LeBron To Eastern Conference F
2008-05-19 04:31:00 Paul Pierce and I have been through a lot over the last few years. As a player, he?s suffered through one of the most inept front offices in professional sports, one of the worst coaches in professional sports (no, not Doc?I?m talking about that fraud Rick Pitino), a few of the worst seasons in Celtics history, a Boston media that loves to criticize everything he does on a basketball court, and a fan base that seemingly blames him for all of the hard times the Celtics have gone through recently. As a fan, I?ve suffered through losing season after losing season?rebuilding project after rebuilding project. But I've always contended that Paul Pierce could be great, he just needed some help. When Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen were acquired last offseason, Paul Pierce became the third wheel of the new Big Three in the minds of the NBA talking heads. Those talking heads couldn?t have been more wrong. Pierce has been the most consistent player on the best team in the Eastern Conference al...

Celtics-Cavaliers: Garnett, Celtics Can't Overcome LeBron and Officiating
2008-05-17 05:17:00 That was, by far, the worst, most embarrassing performance by an officiating crew in the history of the NBA. The only thing that comes even close is when they decided to give Dwayne Wade a few games in the NBA finals a few years ago. LeBron James had more free throw attempts than the entire Celtic team. Which would have been OK, if the Celtics weren?t taking the ball to the hoop. But they WERE. Paul Pierce couldn?t buy a call. Taking the ball to the hoop and drawing contact did nothing to help him. I understand that Glen Davis is a rookie, but he was fouled 7 times and didn?t make it to the line once. He was MUGGED under the hoop. Yet no call. Kendrick Perkins was thrown off the spot when attempting a defensive rebound, no call. Yet he was constantly called on the other end for minimal contact. I?m not rational right now. I was ready to blast the Celtics for losing on the road again, or praise them for finally getting over the road hump. But what I witnessed was not a basketb...

Celtics-Cavaliers: Boston Celtics + Home Court - Sam Cassell = Playoff Vict
2008-05-15 05:21:00 It?s a simple formula.The Celtics + playing in Boston ? Sam Cassell equals a happy Sean Crowe.For the most part.James Posey and Ray Allen trying to throw the game late in the fourth quarter by committing two awful turnovers in their own zone nearly gave me an aneurysm. How do you make that pass, Posey? Ray Allen, at this point in his career, is a liability at times on the floor. Now that he?s apparently tired, he?s a liability more often than not. Apparently, Eddie House slept with Doc Rivers? wife and as payback he?s been benched for the playoffs. How else do you explain him not getting some of Ray Allen?s minutes? Or for that matter, all of Sam Cassell?s minutes?Paul Pierce was exactly what the doctor ordered after his teammates tried to throw the game away. While Garnett was relatively invisible and Ray Allen was busy missing shots and throwing the ball to the other team late in the fourth, Paul Pierce was driving to the basket, drawing fouls, and draining free throws. Fi...

You watch them on the road and you wonder how they even made the playoffs in the first place.Where to start?How about some quick advice for the Eastern Conference Regular Season Champions? To Kevin Garnett: Get on the block, for the love of GOD! You can?t fade away from that long-haired, no talent all fourth quarter. You are 200 times the player he is. Stop giving in!Demand the ball, and take it to the hole. To Paul Pierce:Your defense has been fantastic, but when it becomes obvious that you?re not going to get any calls?STOP THROWING YOURSELF INTO THE DEFENDER!Look, I?ve been complaining about the officiating all post season, but it?s been consistent. Every road team has gotten an unfair shake. Every single one.Stop worrying about drawing fouls and start worrying about how to create shots for yourself in the fourth quarter.Cli...

Celtics-Cavaliers: Pierce and Allen Finally Heat Up, LeBron James Doesn't
2008-05-09 07:01:00 That?ll teach me to question the Celtics? bench.All season long the ?experts? have pointed to the Celtics? bench, calling it their biggest weakness. It was supposed to be the thing that was going to prevent them from winning a championship (well, the other thing?but they can?t question the point guard position anymore). Once again, the Celtics? bench proved everyone (including me) wrong. They not only were better than the Cavs? bench on Thursday, but they were better than the Cavs starters.The victory for the Celtics began with the bench taking over the game towards the end of the first quarter. They brought an energy into the game that was, for whatever reason, missing at the start as the Celtics fell behind by twelve points early. The Cavs struggles, meanwhile, begin and end with LeBron James. LeBron James just cannot figure out James Posey. Posey?s long arms and extremely active and energetic defensive style has given him fits. LeBron hasn?t just been human in the first two gam...
Celtics 76, Cavaliers 72: Garnett Dominates, LeBron Lets One Slip Away in B
2008-05-08 06:07:00 I?ve decided that the normal, beat-writer type game recaps are, frankly, boring.It?s not that everyone on Bleacher Report isn?t doing a fantastic job, because they are. And to tell you the truth, I?m far more likely to read a playoff game recap on Bleacher Report than anywhere else. It?s just that I, personally, suck at writing them. I bore myself, and my goal is certainly not to fall asleep while writing my own articles. If I want to fall asleep while sitting at my computer, I?ll read Peter King.That said, I still want to win this contest. I?m insanely competitive and desperately want a shiny new Rajon Rondo jersey.So I?ve decided that rather than trying to emulate a boring Boston Globe beat writer, I'm just going to write whatever the heck it is that I'm thinking after the game. I might not even wait until I sober up.Hopefully this will end up being a more enjoyable style of playoff recap. If not, please read them anyway. My Mel Kiper Jr. picture and I are broke. Game 1...

NBA Playoff Betting Preview: Cleveland Cavaliers at Boston Celtics (Game 1)
2008-05-07 07:03:00 Tuesday, 8:05 pm Eastern – TNT NBA Playoff Betting Preview Cleveland Cavaliers at Boston Celtics (Game 1) Current Line / Odds: Celtics - 9.5, Total 183.5 The defending Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers will face the team that most people believe will win the East this year, the Boston Celtics in game one of their best of seven series on Tuesday. The Celtics had all kinds of trouble dispatching the Atlanta Hawks in the first round while Cleveland was able to get past Washington. The Cavaliers will lean on LeBron James while the Celtics have the big three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. SBG Global reports that early NBA 2008 playoff betting has the public taking Celtics at Home. James has scored 30 or more points against the Celtics in 9 of their last 10 meetings. In three games this season, James averaged 32 points, seven rebounds and just under 10 assists against the Celtics. "You've always got to keep an eye on him wherever he is on the court," s...

Washington Wizards eliminated with game six loss to Cavaliers
2008-05-03 13:52:00 The Washington Wizards were eliminated from the NBA playoffs with a stunningly lopsided game six loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 105-88, to fall in the best of seven conference quarterfinal series four games to two. LeBron James scored 27 points with 13 rebounds & 13 assists to help annihilate the shorthanded Wizards' squad. While James should be fully credited for his work as a superstar athlete, the King James title seems to have become a little too literal. The league machinations that (intentionally or otherwise) assured maximum advantage for James and the Cavaliers in this series were more reminiscent of World Wrestling Entertainment than a legitimate sports organization.What is left for the Washington Wizards is an offseason in which team management will have to decide whether it's worth the money to keep their own more mercurial and oft-injured superstar, Gilbert Arenas. Whether he's kept or not, some kind of chemistry shakeup will be needed if the Wizards are ever to adv...

NBA Playoff Betting Preview: Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards (Cav
2008-05-03 06:23:00 The Washington Wizards finally stopped talking and started playing on Wednesday and it resulted in a win on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers. If Washington can win at home on Friday they would force a game 7 back in Cleveland on Sunday. "We just said, 'It's time to stop all the talking.' A lot of guys were trying to defend themselves as far as this and that. But it wasn't working," Washington’s Antawn Jamison said, “We said: 'the ultimate change around is for us to just be quiet and find a way to come back from 3-1 and win the series.' I think they finally got it." SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Cavaliers on the Road. The Wizards were without guard Gilbert Arenas on Wednesday but they may be better off without him. They played more as a team and Caron Butler ended up hitting the winning shot in the 88-87 win. "Caron wants an opportunity to lead a team," guard Roger Mason Jr. said. "He willed us to that victory yesterday. His personal...

Wizards face must win game five at Cavaliers
2008-04-30 20:55:00 The Washington Wizards came out on all cylinders in a 36-point game three rout but fell just short in Sunday's game four, forcing the Wizards into a must win game five at the Cleveland Cavaliers to keep their postseason alive. Washington trails three games to one in the best of seven, so three straight wins are required for advancement beyond the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.Hopefully, the Wizards (especially one DeShawn Stevenson) can actually focus tonight on playing basketball and not fighting Rap Wars '08. No disrespect to Jay-Z or Soulja Boy intended but if I hear either one of their names in a basketball context again before 2018, it'll be too soon. UPDATE: The Wizards will also have to play this pivotal game five (and any other future postseason games this 2008) without Gilbert Arenas. The star player pulled himself out of action late Wednesday, citing continuing problems with his surgically repaired knee.The actual basketball version of game five will start at about 6...

They will try and even the best of seven series on Sunday. Thursday’s win by Washington was big in a number of ways. The 36-point playoff win was the biggest in Wizards’ history and ended the Cavaliers’ eight game playoff winning streak against them. “The Wizards scored easy baskets in their transition, whether it was off turnovers or flat out beating us down the floor,” said Cleveland head coach Mike Brown. “Those are things we cannot allow if we expect to win on the road.” Check out the current line and odds for this game at SBG Global.

Washington Wizards begin playoffs against Cavaliers (again)
2008-04-19 17:11:00 For the third straight year, the Washington Wizards will launch their playoff run against the Cleveland Cavaliers, this time though with the eventual outcome of the series a more uncertain proposition. The Wizards come in as the conference #5 seed with more questions than answers, largely over whether previously injured players will regain the form needed to prevail in the series. Gilbert Arenas missed 66 regular season games to repair a torn meniscus and has since been eased into action off the bench. To win, Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler will all need to play at or near full strength.What does work to the Washington Wizards' favor though is that the #4 seed Cavaliers have their own questions. LeBron James remains as always the team superstar but his supporting cast has struggled to complement the young phenom. Should the Cavs not find their own winning formula, Washington could pull off the mild series upset.Game one is set for Saturday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. on Comcas...
