Don't Make Them Angry. You Wouldn't Like Them When They're Angry [Nba Closer]
Published 4/24/2008 by Leitch at Deadspin
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who can't wait for the new Hulk movie and thinks Edward Nortan is the perfect heir to Bill Bixby. When he's not watching NBA officials river dance, he can be found admiring Roger Mason's superhuman strength at Basketbawful. Enjoy! They're finally awake now. And angry. After their stunning Game 1 defeat at the hands of the upstart Philadelphia 76ers, the Pistons had a sudden and shocking realization: The NBA playoffs have actually begun. See, Detroit had been stuck in "It's the end of the regular season and we don't care" mode. After ...

Worst of the Night: April 23, 2008
Published 4/24/2008 by Basketbawful at Basketbawful
Andre Iguodala: Philadelphia's leading scorer (19.9 PPG) has a total of 20 points on 5-for-24 shooting in two playoff games against the Pistons. In last night's blowout loss, he managed only 4 points on 1-for-9 from the field. In my preview for this series, I said: "In the two (regular season) games Philly won, Andre Iguodala scored 22 and 25 points...Iggy's got to score for the Sixers to stay competitive." And what do you know? Last night he didn't score and they couldn't stay competitive. Dismissed as coincidence. Seriously, though, Iguodala needs to become more aggressive and really take it to the ...

As the Hawks were getting cracked for the second straight game in Boston last night, cameras kept showing Celtics fans in crowd with anti-Mike Bibby signs in the crowd, a reaction to Bibby’s comments before a Tuesday practice where he called Boston fans “bandwagon jumpers” and “fair-weather.” Last night, the crowd gave it to Bibby verbally [...]
Celtics Get Last Word, Go Up 2-0 in Series

Posted 4/24/2008 on LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog

It is pretty obvious to all involved that the Hawks are over matched in this series. Mike Bibby has taken it on himself to put some life into it by first attacking the fans and calling them bandwagon jumpers and fair weather fans and last night, before the game, he increased his attack to include Perk, who had stuck up for the fans after Bibby's initial comments. "I don't know where he ...
Celtics Continue to Pound Hawks in Game 2

Posted 4/24/2008 on Sports of Boston

The T.D. Banknorth Garden was not full of fair weather fans tonight, nor any sort of bandwagon fans that Hawks guard Mike Bibby thought there might be. No, these fans were true to their team and kept a roar going the whole game as the Celtics improved to 2-0 in the opening series against the Hawks. The C’s crushed the Hawks 96-77 Wednesday night in Boston. Boston never let up on ...
Celtics Four-Point Play 4-23

Posted 4/24/2008 on Sports of Boston

This edition of the Four-Point Play will be entirely devoted to Mike Bibby’s comments about the Celtics as “fair weather” fans. I will have four separate but related points to make about his stupid, baseless comments. 1. Mike Bibby told reporters after Game 1 of the Hawks-Celtics first round series: “(The crowd was) kind of loud at the beginning, but a lot of these ...
