One thing we know… basketball will be played in Boston on Sunday.  The only thing we need to figure out is if we’ll be playing Cleveland… or Detroit.  The Celtics fans I’ve been talking to are feeling confident about...

Whether it be just one more game or 16 more games, one thing about the remainder of this postseason will be different from last year’s magical run: No Daniel Gibson. Boobie will probably miss the rest of these playoffs with a separated left...

:(. That was a really, really, really tough game to lose. Especially considering how well LeBron played in the first half and how well the team did in the first half. I was thinking at halftime: “All we need to do is step up offensively and...

Exhale. Take deep breaths. Think happy thoughts. I was doing all those things in final two minutes of this one. The Celtics beat the Cavs 96-89 to take a 3-2 series lead. This was one helluva rollercoaster ride. Cleveland jumped out to a 14 point...

It was a good omen right from the start of this game as Perk won the tip although the first minute was sloppy on both sides with a 24 second violation on each team and a defensive 3 second violation on KG. The Cavs came out strong to begin the...

I’m going to try something weird — I’m live-blogging the Celtics-Cavs game over at FanHouse , but I’m pretty sure I can also embed it here … let’s see if this works.

LeBron went off in the first half. He dropped 23 points as the Cavs lead 46-43 at the break. On the plus side, the Celtics have played like absolute garbage and only trail by 3. Ray Allen continues to suck, making us long for Brian Scalabrine in...

A little late on getting this one up. That may be because I'm traumatized by the Celtics right now. And they're not exactly off to a great start. They need this one. Go C's.

Basketbawful is here to do the Hump-day Hump. Which isn't as dirty as it sounds. Unless giving you tonight's NBA playoff preview can be considered pornographic. Cleveland versus Boston: Game 5 Home sweet home, Part I. As stoppable as the Celtics...

I caught the 4th quarter live and still have to go back and watch the rest of the game. Give the Cavs credit. They hit baskets when they needed to, had stretches of tenacious defense and overall played great team basketball. That was a tough loss...

I really don't think Boston will win.. I mean I don't expect another 24 pt blow out but they had 2 pressure situations in ATL where they coulda ended the series in game 4 and game 6.. And they lost both.. They had 3 chances to win on the road and...

More to come….

Reasons to panic: If we barely took care of the Hawks, the Cavs will be a tougher out. Each road loss puts a lot more pressure to get home wins. The Celtics really, really wanted to win last night, ...and didn't. They aren't doing so hot in...
