This is my first submission to NSS and I have to admit, following the blanket party stomping by the Griz the other night, I wasn’t sure I’d be right in the head to ever speak on the C’s again. But, I was talked down off the Tobin and I am back to insisting to myself [...]

I just witnessed my team get dusted by about a quarter of a million points.  Ok, maybe that was some slight hyperbole on my part… but not by much.
This was one of the worst performances I have ever seen in the history of the world and I’m not limiting it to just sports.  I think [...]

When you only manage 16 points in the fourth quarter, you deserve to lose.  I understand that defenses usually turn it on late in the game but still, good teams score 20+ every quarter.  Even when they were down by 7 with just under three minutes to go and stopping Milwaukee on every offensive possession [...]

First of all, let me ask this question.  Why did the NBA decide to put this game on opposite the Oscars?  They are the third most popular sports league and probably pulled in only the Boston and DC markets and probably half the market in the Hub tuned out at half time.  They missed a [...]

It’s about time.  After two months of losing big leads and letting crappy teams hang around, Boston finally showed some sort of killer instinct and put the Bobcats away and roll to a victory over the top ranked defense in the league.
Paul Pierce exploded for 27 PTS on 9-13 shooting and 4-6 from deep.  The [...]

I guess the best way not to blow a ten point lead is not to amass a ten point lead.  Luckily Boston never got ahead enough to the point where they started playing lackadaisical ball.  A win is a win no matter how ugly it is.  I am reminded of the saying “beauty is a [...]

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 elite team [...]

I don’t know how many times I can write about a Celtics loss before I just smarten up and copy/paste a pre written description of the game and fill in the blanks. It would go something like this:
Tonight Boston jumped out to a [insert double digit number] on [insert team] and looked good for [...]

First, let me tell you that I realize that this is Nathan’s first game in green.  That being said:
Eddie House: 2-7, 4PTS, 5 REBS and 5 ASTS
Nathan Robinson: 2-7, 4 PTS, 1 AST, 1 REB
Also, Bill Walker had 7 PTS in 12 minutes including two awesome dunks and a three.  Tell me, Celtics fans, how [...]

After recovering from an atrocious first quarter in which they were down twenty, Boston clawed their way back up the mountain to tie the game at 66 early in the third.  Then JR Smith kicked them in the face and back over the cliff with a flurry of threes to end that threat.
Paul Pierce played [...]
