Oh look!
Oh look!
There they run!
The Celtics of the City of Boston!
There they run!
All awash in their green little jerseys!
Green! The color of grass! The color of part of the rainbow!
Oh look!
Oh look!
The splendor of their names!
Across the back of their jerseys!
Piercey, and and Alleny, and Garnetty, there they go!
Points, and rebounds, and other statistics of […]

Many a person will tell you that this is the best potential series of the Eastern bracket, but last time we checked, the Cavaliers won 50 games (in spite of themselves), which does indeed make them a “better” team than the Bulls.
Of course, with a first-round sweep of the Heat, Chicago has positioned themselves as […]

Not many people expected the Celtics to beat the Lakers last night, as the home team was riding an awesome 12-game losing streak, as well as declarations from Danny Ainge that Coach Doc wasn’t getting fired anytime soon.
So yeah, it went as planned - the Lakers took down the team known as BOS, and did […]

One of those headlines we wrote - the other was actually up on ESPN.com this weekend. We take equal amounts of joy from each.
Not taking joy from anything are the PHX Suns, who find themselves down 2-1 to the Mavericks, with Game 4 tonight in Phoenix.

We’re not knocking the Pistons by saying that - it’s just after losing to the Hawks last night they’ve got 8 losses. It’s going to be hard to reach 72-10, plus coach Flip Saunders has said resting is more important from here on.
We only read about the game, but damn if it didn’t […]

With Isiah Thomas’s sexual harassment case heating up the papers, reporters are looking everywhere for a unique angle. That’s how you end up with the NY Daily News talking to Isiah’s illegitimate son Marc Dones of Detroit. Dones has never actually met his father, but says the Knicks GM has at least held up his […]

Never forget TBOur Kevin Garnett poem from yesterday garnered quite the email response - enough that we considered just changing the site to YAYnbapoems!.
One particular reader really showed us what life is about by sending us to their own series of Timberwolves inspired poetry from high school. While they said this was to “piss off […]

[After an exhaustive search, we found that there are no Timberwolves blogs going out there. There’s this newspaper one, but that’s more of a general Minnesota sports scene, and not what we’re looking for anyway. This other one hasn’t been updated since November, so they’re out. Stuck with no options to cover TimberBlogging, we instead […]
