I Am Awesome!

Yes. This is a “pat myself on the back” post because a) I’m a jackass and b) I predicted something correctly. Back on January 8th, I predicted that the next ten games will tell us everything we need to know about this Celtics’ team. If they struggled, it was time to blow it up. If [...]

Congrats, Lakers

You know, as painful as it is to say it, the best (healthy) team won. The Lakers were the best all-around team in the league this year, and they deserved to win this title. 

And it was nice to hear Phil Jackson be so complimentary of Red in the post-game ceremony. Sure, he’s got no choice, but he could have just stuck to platitudes about Red being a great coach. To mention lighting a cigar in tribute was a nice touch.

If you’ll allow me one moment of pleasurable hate: Sasha Vujacic scored zero points in 20 minutes in this series. Thanks for showing up, Sasha! By all means, continue to preen like a relevant NBA player! 

Oh: And see you next season. I hope green is still your least favorite color, and I hope you see a lot of it next season. We’re coming for that trophy. 

Back to mature off-season talk tomorrow.
