When Animals Attack
Published 4/2/2008 at CelticsBlog
benny.jpg Marc Spears reports on the shooting: During the fourth quarter of the Celtics' 106-92 win over the Bulls at the United Center, the Chicago mascot shot T-shirts out of a T-shirt gun that hit them in the back. The incident happened when Garnett and Posey were walking to the bench during a timeout with 2:49 remaining. Garnett and Posey gave Bennie the Bull a glare, and, said Garnett, "We exchanged words." Steve Bulpett sheds some light on Posey's reaction: Posey, not a favorite in Chicago dating back to when he was a member of the Miami Heat, cringed in mock fear. I don t know - I feel threatened, Posey said. I don t feel safe. They really have tough ...

KG For MVP? Enough Already
Published 4/2/2008 at CelticsBlog
I would vote for KG to be the MVP. Most Celtics fans probably feel the same way. Many non-Celtics fans are seeing things that way too. But this topic has been debated to death in the last few weeks.

Before I put this to rest (for me at least) - here are a few last ditch efforts by some to make the case for KG: Read More ...

Hooper, take note! bostonherald.com: (via: TrueHoop) Last night, in the process of the Celtics completing a series sweep of the Chicago Bulls for the first time since 1986-87, Kevin Garnett and James Posey engaged in some late-game trash talking with Benny the Bull. “Bulls can talk,” said Garnett, who initially was upset after he and Posey were hit in the back by clothing fired from a T-shirt launcher during a timeout in the closing minutes of the C’s 106-92 victory. “Walking off the floor we got hit by some shirts.” Garnett initially had to be restrained by a member of the officiating crew as ...

2007-08 NBA Worsties: Part 6
Published 12 hours ago by Basketbawful (noreply@blogger.com) at Basketbawful
Okay, okay. I've been promising Part 6 of the 2007-08 Worsties for a few weeks now. It's time to deliver. This installment covers the end of the regular season leading into the playoffs. Creepy merchandising: The NBA marketing geniuses unveiled a series of mildly disturbing bobblepop dolls, the creepiest of which was, without question, the Steve Nash version (although the Dirk Nowitzki bobblepop came close). Poor "Nash" looks like the mutant love child of Pee-wee Herman and Annie Lennox. Which pretty much means it just looks like Annie Lennox. Sweet dreams are not made of ...
