A Little Trash Talk For Your Tuesday

First, the reasons Kevin Garnett's taunting actions here are a big bowl of wrong: the finger-waving gestures you see in the stills and in the video below are from the movie Bring It On. What? Kevin Garnett is a 15-year-old girl? Also, after all that tongue-wagging and gesturing, Jose Calderon whistled a pass by Garnett's head for an assist. Now, the reasons Garnett's actions were right: More »

Boston Fans And Players Keeping It Classy As Fackin’ EVAH!

Hey, here’s a charming picture from the Celtics ring ceremony on Tuesday night. On the left is current Celtic, drug-doer, and student of the Norv Turner Institute Of Skin Care, Scot Pollard. Scot is flashing his championship ring, because the Celts certainly couldn’t have won a title without the three amazing minutes he contributed. On the right is every Boston fan I’ve ever met in my life. Drunk? Check. Unnecessarily hostile? Check. Thinning hair? Oh, yes. Why, even his blog entry is pure Boston. More »

The 2008 NBA Playoff Recap: What We Learned

The 2008 NBA playoffs did more than just entertain us for the last seven or eight months. It taught us stuff. Some stuff we only suspected, and some other stuff we never even knew before. Here is that stuff.

The Atlanta Hawks have fans...real, flesh-and-blood fans.

Boston fans, on the other hand, apparently are bandwagon jumpers. More »

ESPN Is Giving Jemele Hill Some Quiet Time

As you've probably heard by now, ESPN has suspended Jemele Hill for a "period of time" after one of her columns broke Godwin's Law and invoked Hitler. We do hope local Boston sports radio is happy now that they have their scalp. More »

Boston Just Can't Get Enthusiastic About Sports Rioting Anymore

Boston-area sports fans are becoming immune to the exhilarating joy of winning championships. It was only a few years ago that the celebrations following a New England Super Bowl victory or a Red Sox World Series win would result in mass chaos: cars being set on fire, looting, young women being shot in the eye… More »

Celtics Fans Deliriously Happy, Somewhat Hung Over This Morning

• "Michelle You Look Great Tonight Girl!" I love Kevin Garnett but he officially scared the hell out of me tonight! Did you see Michelle Tafoya trying to interview him right after the buzzer sounded at half court? He went off on some crazy rant, looked at the camera with evil eyes, told Michelle she "looked great" and then screamed really loud in to the air. It was freakin' amazing! I just about hid under my blanket in fear while laughing hysterically. [le basketbawl] More »

Congratulations, 2008 NBA Champions Boston Celtics

We spent last evening at Professor Thom's , the Boston sports bar here in New York City. (Apparently, it used to be Riviera's, but then some bartenders got fired, or something; it's difficult to keep track of such matters.) We were engulfed in a swarm of New Englanders, the people who, over the last several years, have celebrated titles, and celebrated titles, and celebrated titles. We saw every inch of their joy last night. (Not a euphemism!) And you know what? It wasn't so bad. It was really fun. More »

There's No Stopping The Green Monster

The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who plans to spend the day celebrating the Boston's long-awaited 17th title. This almost makes up for Larry Bird transforming into a fat gremlin. When he's not doing green and white shots, he can be found trying not to toss his cookies at Basketbawful. Enjoy!

Complete and utter destruction. There's no other way to describe last night's 131-92 obliteration of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Boston Celtics didn't just earn their 17th banner, they wrapped it around the Lakers' collective neck and choked them with it. The 39-point bulge set an NBA Finals record for the largest margin in a deciding game. Boston pounded L.A. on the boards (48-29), bogarted the ball at every opportunity (a Finals record 18 steals) and put up a defensive wall the likes of which none of the Lakers — including regular season MVP Kobe Bryant — had ever seen.

Respect Thy NBA Champion, The Boston Celtics

It was only a year ago that the Boston Celtics were the de facto punch line for "bad team." Going 24-58 will do that. But now they're the definitive basketball champions of the continent. Paul Pierce should just retire now, because his basketball stock can't possibly rise. More »
