Boston left Miami red with envy. Losing Game 7 at base must feel like the ache from taking a kick to the nether regions that will last until October. Especially after competing so vigorously after going down 17 points in the first quarter and having a chance to take the lead with 17 seconds left. […]
Boston humiliating Miami has become a habit. The low-scoring final stat sheet won’t explain how ugly it looked, so I’ll tell you. The Celtics smothered the Heat in Game 5 and held them to 1/8 (12.5%) shooting in the paint on looks outside the restricted area in the first half. As a reference, the […]
For Boston, the refs, the ghost of Red Auerbach, and Jaylen Brown’s 41 piece weren’t enough to shake down the Heat minus their best player in the second half of Game 3. It was evident from the first couple of minutes that the Miami Heat weren’t going to get punked while surrounded by a […]
As Jimmy Butler squared up at the free-throw line for his 17th and 18th attempts of the night, I wondered if the audience inside FTX Arena would shower him with roses. Miami was minutes away from a comeback win inspired by their marquee guy who had 40+ points in the playoffs for the fifth time […]
True to form, Doc Rivers’ team got schooled in their building. The first signs of the Philadelphia unfaithful turning on the team were midway through the third quarter as they booed the embarrassment inflicted on their eyes. Embiid hit the ground more than a soldier trying to evade gunfire. The Beard looked like […]
Word on the street is Joel Embiid has cleared concussion protocols and is doing everything he can to suit up for Game 3 against the Heat. It comes across as poor taste that the 76ers can’t protect their star big man from himself. I don’t pretend to be a physician, but I don’t remember […]
The public was expecting a fierce second round matchup between Miami and Philadelphia, but 76ers coach Doc Rivers royally screwed his club this time. Joel Embiid’s orbital bone was fractured after taking a cheap elbow on a rip through by Pascal Siakam late in the fourth quarter Thursday in Toronto. Peculiarly, Embiid was still […]
Nothing elevates reputation in the NBA like a strong playoff showcase. The same is true for the opposite. Name and standing plummet at the sight of a poor exhibition much faster than the street cred earned through years of balling. In the west, the New Orleans Pelicans are tied 1-1 with the reigning […]
I didn’t know it then, but Rajon Rondo pointing a finger gun at a courtside fan foreshadowed the season that had yet come for the Lakers: a total embarrassment. Five and a half months later, with three games left on the calendar, LA was officially extinguished from Play-in contention in their trip to the desert […]
With a stroke of a pen, the eastern conference playoff picture will change. New York Mayor Eric Adams lifted the COVID-19 private-sector vaccine mandate on Thursday, just a week after he said he wasn’t concerned about one man rather than nine million. Adams probably made his friends with the Yankees, Mets and Nets happy. […]
