Kobe Bryant (photo. Chris Sembrot)
How does Kobe Bryant feel this morning? Following Tuesday's humiliating Game 6 loss, where he had to watch an opponent celebrate winning an NBA championship at his expense for the second time in his career, Kobe was clearly furious in his post-game press conference -- I've rarely seen one man who [...]

Bucks Diary
Last night, the Lakers did not even put up a fight. Kobe Bryant was awful, and none of the Lakers starters recorded a positive Win Contribution. Meanwhile, four of the Celtics starters made positive Win Contributions, with Allen and Garnett providing huge contributions. As I mentioned in the last post, Allen's Win Contribution is the highest I have calculated for any single game since I ...

Note: First, I'd like to thank Hersey for the photo of Big Baby posing with the Larry O'Brien Trophy. (Supahstah!!) Second, excuse me if this post is rambling and poorly written.

It was a slaughter of epic, even Biblical ...

Game 7 is no longer necessary. In laying out the Los Angeles Lakers 131-92 Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics are now your 2008 NBA champions.
And when the game clock finally flashed 0:00, no one got more caught up in the moment than Kevin Garnett .
( Judging by where KG is puckering up, no wonder the Celtic logo is smiling )
Oh, no doubt it was also a special night for Paul Pierce , ...

The Boston Celtics won the 2007-08 NBA championship on Tuesday, their 17th title in franchise history. But don’t be fooled into thinking that it was the Lakers who were the runners-up.

Sports And The City
In the end, it wasn't even close. Led by the new "Big Three," the Boston Celtics, after obliterating the L.A. Lakers 131-92, are NBA champions for the 17th time. After 26 gruelling playoff games, the Celtics were rightly and deservedly crowned. Not even the sting of the city of Boston winning yet another professional sports title could ruin the moment. I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed ...
