Boston 99, Atlanta 65 - That’s the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it… But seriously now, why the hell did it take 7 games? It was mind-boggling the way the Hawks fell apart in Boston every game and then went back home and played so great. Thank the good lord all-mighty that we had and will continue to have home court advantage.

Notes from the game:

• Dear Marvin Williams, your claims that you were trying to keep “one of your best friends” Rondo from falling on the parkay were easily refuted by the replay shown on high definition surround sound of you DROPPING him on his head. So try again there sucker. What is it with this team? Horford puts T.J. Ford in the hospital and now this? Ever heard of making a play for the actual basketball? Enjoy the off-season. No love, me
• Ray Allen was missing everything. It was excruciating. I hope he gets his mojo back for Lebron & Co.
• The Posey hugs today were lovely as always. Sigh. I think I have a little crush on James Posey. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone. *wink*
• The Zohan movie doing the split-screen commercial with Baron Davis was hysterical.

Lakers 109, Utah 98 - I never really thought the outcome of this game was in question. Sure, the Jazz stayed in the game the whole time and always had a chance to go on a run, but come’on… who has a shot to win at Staples with fat Jack in the house cheering on his boys? Not to mention… Dyan Cannon, Spiderman, E from Entourage, Anthony Kiedis, Denzel… and so on and so on. Celebrity cheerleaders always give you an advantage. They’re like normal fans only a hundred times richer and better looking. Its like having the center of the sun in your corner and their light just leads every shot into the hoop like a rainbow into a kettle of gold. Oh… and I guess a little Kobe Bryant on your team doesn’t hurt either.

Reality crap on E! - I’m waiting with baited breath for the 10pm episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians to come on. Why, you ask? Because I can’t wait to find out how the compelling “Kardashian Civil War” is going to turn out? No way jose. I’m tuning in to see my boyfriend Reggie Bush on webcam. Ooooh baby baby. *wink* I really hope Kim realizes I want him back when she’s done. *wink-wink*

Oh yeah, I fell asleep before the end of the game, but way to go Hornets for beating the evil Spurs!

Tonight, both the Cavs and the Celtics have a chance to finish off their opponents 4-2. I have my fingers and toes crossed that they both do that. I know its crazy to wish for Lebron James & Co. as your next opponents, but that is a testament to how much I despise the Wizards. The thought that I would have to suffer through more of DeShawn’s hand-over-face waggling crapola just makes me want to eat glass. Besides, I’m not afraid of any opponent for the Celtics. If they’re going to win the whole thing, they need to be able to beat anyone, so if Lebron is the “anyone” coming up, then so be it.

1. Update #1: The Cavs blew out the Wizards. YES YES YES! Hey DeShawn, buh-bye.
2. Update #2: Hawks 103, Celtics 100. SIGH. I knew this series would end up going the full seven. As I suspected, my trash talk jinxed the team! Does not bode well. Don’t worry about me though, I’m only halfway to the edge of this ledge.

So how ’bout that Roger Clemens scandal, eh? I love how it’s being reported that he had a “friendship” with Mindy McCready from the time she was fifteen, but didn’t start knocking boots with her until she turned eighteen. Mmmm yeah. Sounds plausible to me. I know pretty much every guy I know has “friendships” with girls and then wait for three years before trying anything with them. Yeah because you know, guys are usually that patient. Especially ridiculously rich, famous guys who are used to getting anything and everything they want.

The blogosphere was abuzz (haha, I love saying that) recently with the news that some crotchety lifetime journalist went off on Will Leitch about his trashy sports blog (Deadspin) on Bob Costas. I believe Braylon Edwards or some other athlete was there too, though he didn’t say much. Anyway, the best part of the whole entire thing was when Bissinger (the old dude) was reading from an apparent print-out of some Deadspin post and kept saying, “Big Daddy BALLS” (referring to the guest posts on Deadspin by KSK’s “Big Daddy Drew.”) Mmm yeah, maybe you had to be there. It was fking hysterical though, I swear. Watch this trainwreck if you dare…

• I really REALLY really wish I had pic-in-a-pic on the TV in my bedroom so I could watch the Celtics/Hawks game and Gossip Girl at the same time. Instead, I’m going to be flipping channels for an hour. Le sigh.
• Dear Pat Reilly - Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye… (or at least goodbye until Wade and Beasley bring the team back to playoff form)
• Jay-Z adds more fuel to DeShawn Stevenson’s already overinflated ego by penning him a diss tune.
• Primoz Brezec dances on Sam Vincent’s grave.
• Oh Chuck Bass, how I love thee…
• The Celtics are currently trailing the Hawks. I swear if they go toe up in the first round, I’m going to go completely and 100% batshit crazy.
• This just in. Zaza is dead to me. You DARE head butt KG, sucker? Actually, lets just save ourselves some time. I declare the entire Hawks team to be dead to me. That should about cover it.

Celtics v. Hawks

• KG just dragged the whole team out onto the floor to join his acceptance for the Defensive Player of the Year award. Love that man like a long lost play cousin.
• I love the James Posey hug. His bobblehead should be hugging something. Maybe not Benny the Bull, but anything else.
• Hey Mike Bibby, up yours.
• I do like Al Horford though. He’s a class act.
• Smith knocks down Pierce. Refs act deaf-dumb-blind. Tommy Heinsohn screams for the flagrant call and ouster… Pierce to the locker room.
• Ok that’s it. WTF. Do.not.eff.with.the.truth.
• We’re just toying with them now. Like a kitty with a little catnip mouse.
• Sam Cassell w/eight points in two minutes. Say goodnight Atlanta.
• I didn’t pony up for NBA-TV this season, but the Yahoo! boxscore tells me that by half-time the bad boys of Detroit personally rounded up the Sixers and made them their bitch.
• Cassell administers the justice for PP by knocking Josh Smith in the head. Message delivered.
• Split screen NBA playoffs commercial w/Derek Fisher and Marcus Camby - Just noticed that their mustaches line up perfectly. Inane enough tidbit for you?
• Eddie House is married to Mike Bibby’s sister? How did I not know that? Wait, I don’t give a shit. That’s probably why. I still think Bibby can suck it.
• Ooops, got distracted by the Comcast SportsNet Celtics Live Blog. This Live Blog stuff is catching on like wildfire. This one is “Cover It Live,” the same as the Yahoo! one (except the moderators don’t actually show all the people bitching about their questions not showing up.)
• I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for them to bust out some GINO!

Ok, so this is a day late, whatev. I was going to blog about the Mavs/Horns and Spurs/Suns games last night and somehow ended up over at the Yahoo! Ball Don’t Lie Liveblog instead. That was a trip. First off, I have always loved Kelly Dwyer’s writing. Knowledgeable with just the right amount of jaded snarkitude. (If there’s such a thing as a blogger groupie, I might be a KD groupie. Not too proud to admit it. Lol. I also love Matt Watson’s stuff from DBB and HOOPSWORLD.) So when J.E. Skeets from The Basketball Jones took on the Editor role over there I was skeptical to say the least. Nothing against Skeets, but I didn’t know jack about him. Eventually I broke down and listened to some Basketball Jones podcasts and now I’m sickeningly hooked. It’s like crack. I don’t know why its so good, it just is. The idea of two Canadian dudes sitting around yacking about hoops doesn’t exactly scream “party time” but it actually is extremely entertaining. But, I digress… so I find out during my daily BDL perusal that the guys are Liveblogging it so I decide to check it out once again (I went to the last one as well). Last night it was Skeets, KD and guest chatter, Matt Moore from Hardwood Paroxysm… also making cameos were Jamie Mottram (Mr. Irrelevant, Yahoo!) and Unsilent Majority (KSK). It was entertaining, but I have some advice for future Liveblogs. They need to send a memo to random un-famous bloggers/readers that their comments will not be posted 9 times out of 10. It really felt like the entire night was those guys chatting to each other with the masses bitching that their posts weren’t showing up. To be fair to the BDL guys, the comments from “the outside” were pretty inane or painfully obvious. Samples…

1. “The Spurs are going to win!”
2. “The Suns don’t defend!”
3. “Shaq has a fat ass!” (Ok fine, I made that one up.)

Anyway, I didn’t intend this to be a review. Just sharing my evening. On to tonight…

Bibby is going down! How dare he call out Boston Celtic fans for being bandwagon fans??? That little bitch! Ok fine, he’s right a little bit. Last year I could’ve gotten tickets to the Celtics games an hour before the game if I wanted to. Now you practically have to be related to Doc Rivers to score a seat. WTF is up with that? You’re going to tell me you didn’t want to fork over the big bucks last season to see Sebastian Telfair dribble the ball down the court and chuck it up with 3 seconds on the clock? Screw you man. You’re not a real fan!
