We've all had those life-changing phone calls: "I'm pregnant!" or "The test came back negative." Today I received a call worthy of this category: Hey Chuck, it's John. I got free luxury-suite tickets to tonight's game. You in? That's right….the blue-collar boys of Red's Army will be hobnobbing with the suits tonight! And we'll be wearing these [...]

This is completely wild speculation based on a scenario that I don't believe will transpire…. But…. I'm a jerk… so here goes…. IF the Celtics happen to lose to the Hawks here…. would anyone be the least bit surprised to see Mike D'Antoni coaching the Celtics next year?  I mean… there's no way Doc would [...]

What the HELL is going on in Boston???  Last I checked… this series is tied… although you wouldn't believe it if you read Gerry Callahan today.  You don’t need cryptic hand gestures to understand what they’re up against: If they do not win two of their next three games, all of the above will be forgotten [...]

I'd like to thank the Hawks for making my argument (1 year later) as to why tanking is counter-productive.  You tell me what's more productive for the Atlanta Hawks right now… going toe-to-toe and proving they can run with the Celtics in the playoffs… or sitting there hoping they get a lucky bounce with the [...]

The Celtics will have all hands on deck for Game 5 Wednesday night. The league did not hand down any suspensions or fines following last night's battle royal in Atlanta. Here's the latest from Marc Spears. The Celtics will have no fines or suspensions stemming from a skirmish during Game 4 of their playoff series [...]

Ok… these are the questions we've got to ask after yesterday's "altercation." Question#1:  Did KG push a ref?  It's at the :15 mark.  He certainly struggles to get free… and he's not gentle about it.  It was a big debate today on "Mike & Mike in the Morning." with one vote for a suspension… one [...]

All Kramer had to do was deliver a simple line:  "These pretzels are making me thirsty" and he would have had a speaking part in a Woody Allen movie.  But because Kramer is fake… and Seinfeld had to be funny… everyone over-thought the line… and Kramer's chance at fame blew up in his face. Well… [...]

Joe Johnson single-handledly beat the Celtics tonight. He torched the C's defense for 20 points in the fourth quarter (35 total) as the Hawks overcame a 10 pt deficit and won 97-92. After all the taunting and excessive celebration following Game 3, nearly everyone expected the Celtics to bitch-slap Atlanta tonight. But everytime the Celtics [...]

This sign… the nature of which is up for debate… cost Paul Pierce $25,000.  So what was it?  The folks over at Comcast Sports Net report that its a sign for "blood, sweat and tears".  And really… I wish I could believe them… but does anyone think that in that context, Pierce wants to relay the message "blood sweat and [...]
