Whoever said that the grass is always greener on the other side was clearly not referring to the Atlantic Ocean,  as in England it often manifests itself as a lighter shade…of brown. Unfortunately, David Stern doesn’t seem to be as troubled by brown grass as we might like, as the league recently announced that the Nets [...]

Prior to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals Tuesday night, 14 teams watched the ping pong balls determine their draft location in the NBA draft lottery, with the Wizards, 76ers and Nets grabbing the top three spots, respectively. Though the Celtics weren’t one of those teams, they will have their own pivotal decisions to [...]

BOOOOOOOOOOOO! (vomit) BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It might be hard to finish this posting with the amount of chunder coating my keyboard after witnessing the abortion billed as a basketball game. Bobcats, Bulls, Knicks, Clippers, Bobcats (again), and Celtics.  Which one of those teams doesn’t belong there?  Trick question, they all play like garbage.  I don’t see one [...]

I have never been more humiliated or disgusted then I am at this very moment. I am more disgusted now then I was at any point during any of the “lean” years following the Bird Era– including the 2006-07 season. When the Celtics jumped out to a 12-2 lead in the first quarter, I was [...]

I just applied to be the coach of the New Jersey Nets.  Ok, not the coach but a coach.  So what if it’s just a contest?  They suck so hard I might just get hired.  I know how to draw up side out plays that end in shot clock violations, why not give me a [...]

Someone found Ray Allen’s game and returned it to him better than he left it last month.  Two strong games in a row, albeit one against the dreadful Nets, may be enough to pull the struggling star out of his slump.  Still, heading into the fourth with the Nets in front was still disheartening sight [...]

Is there any reason for the Celtics to lose to the Nets? No.  Is that cause for worry? Absolutely.  Boston needs to be careful of being complacent after a good win against the Heat.  The last time Boston played New Jersey was in November 7th at the Izod Arena.  That game they held the Nets [...]

It is well known amongst some corporate circles that we here at North Station Sports love the New York Yankees.  Many an occasion have I sat around in the lobby of the NSS offices with senior writer Lee Herman, downing cervesas (during off hours, because at North Station Sports we believe in drinking responsibly) and [...]

The Celtics finally dominated a game from start to finish, though with the Nets looking like the Washington Generals these days, it wasn’t hard. Boston led by as many as 36 and that was just at the end of the first half.  The Celtics shot right around 60% from the field for the game.  Curiously, [...]

The Celtics are in the midst of a strange stretch of games in which in some games they look unbeatable and in others they look extremely flat.  Boston needs to find some sort of rotational continuity especially with the injuries.  Granted, KG is reported to be coming back in two weeks but I would imagine [...]
