The body language, the rhetoric, you name it.. anyway you look at it last night was the worst loss of the Big Three Era. This team resembles a YMCA over 30 rec-league.

Interesting. Very interesting…
As you all know, I am a big NBA history buff and Larry Bird happens to be my all-time favorite athlete.

1 – 2 – 3– BREATH!
We can all exhale after holding our breath for eleven games. Without question, I did not expect to go 5-6 in Kevin Garnett’s absence. I did feel the Celtics would inevitably struggle without the Big Ticket but I never expected the team to fall below .500 while the Ticket recovered. [...]
