Thunder in Boston

By


      I'm late to the party but I'm getting tired of seeing JT get no love from the refs. First half was quite the show! Kudos to Al, DWhite and JT for carrying the load on offense. JB gets straight into the paint to get himself going. He had a very rough first half. C's can't afford to miss shots right now. These refs suck! I really need to see the C's go on a run here in the third. 

     The rebounding has been a big problem for the C's tonight. If we want a shot at winning tonight we need to correct that. Right now I'm not sure if the Celtics have it. The lead is back up to nine and there is no life in the building. C's are going to need to really get down and dirty on D. If they want to make any headway here. The offense has no flow at all. 

     Derrick White with some incredible hustle right there. His hustle leads to that Al three. The C's still trail by seven, timeout Thunder. C's need to make a run and continue to get into this lead. We can't be going into the fourth down big. Here right now is a key point in tonight's game. Luke enters and we need him to bring some energy. 

     Jrue just used his strength and beasted his defender. Grabbed that loose ball and just drove into the paint like a running back to the end zone. Some excellent D by JB right there. Luke off the pass from JT JAMS it home! JT loves finding Luke when he goes straight into the paint. The lead is down to four and PP forces Shai into a turnover. C's D is stepping the heck up! Sam I Am for three. 

     JT flies to the basket with a chance for the And One! He hits this and we have come all the way back! There we go! All tied up after the third, which is what I said we needed. The fourth is upon us and we must play our best here. The key on offense is pushing the pace,  don't allow the thunder to set on D. LUKE WITH THE FOLLOW UP DUNK OF THE GAME! 

    The free throw disparity is unreal tonight. These refs have been awful. C's haven't found their offense here in the fourth. JB bulldozes his way into the paint and scores. DWhite with the incredible sequence right there. He blocks Chet and then hits the corner bomb to tie the game. That right there shows how damn good Derrick White is. He's a Winner! I absolutely love him! 

     The game is all tied up as we come out of the timeout. Al Horford with a sweet three to tie the game up again! The calls Shai gets are aggregious. JB now has five fouls. I despise NBA refs and how dirty they are. Now DWhite has five fouls. This is absolutely insane! So many shots have gone in and out for the C's. Sometimes it's just not your night and this has that feeling. A tough loss to the refs tonight.

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 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...

According to many sources, the Celtics Kevin McHale did indeed have an estimated wingspan of 8-feet. One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.
