In the End the Good Guys Won

Happy Easter to the everyone and Happy Palm Sunday to Orthodox Christians around the world. How many of you expected a finish like today?! What a game and what a day. It was good vs not so good. A team built the way you should through the draft, trades and free agency. Another built by two so called stars conspiring to build a superteam. Two of the most cantankerous players I've ever seen.

Despite the Celtics not playing their best, when they needed to they came thru in the clutch. That last defensive stand and subsequent offensive set proved they trust in each other. They forced Kyrie to over dribble and pass the rock out to KD who was clearly affected by the Celtics D in which he threw up a garbage three that missed. Watching JB get the rock to the Wolverine who faked out two Nets that led to JTs winning shot while Kyrie flailed on D. A team that trusts each other is unstoppable.

The Celtics will have to continue to get better on Wednesday if they want to go up 2-0. There is plenty of room for improvement, if they didn't miss so many easy bunnies they could have won easily. In that third quarter especially the refs were slanted in favor of the Nets. Defensively they frustrated KD and need to keep getting in his space and face! Wednesday night they will need to shut Kyrie down, and force other guys to beat them. Despite his performance it's clear the fans own space in his head.

Your core 4 of JT, JB, Al and the Wolverine all had huge plays and moments which led to today's victory. Going forward we need them to continue this play and just clean up the turnovers. I'm still in awe of that final play with no timeout. Kudos to Ime for trusting his team, and it couldn't have played out any better. This group is still growing as a playoff team and today was the start of something special.

Bleed Green!

In defense of Marcus Smart

Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...
