Rivalry Renewed

One of the most famed rivalries in sports….Celtics vs. Lakers. With promises of the NBA season back in action, who could wait to see these two teams go at it again? Well C’s fans, you didn’t have to wait long. The East Coast, West Coast rivalry is already at battle, this time, off the court.

Two of the NBA’s biggest names being talked about are Chris Paul and Dwight Howard. Rumors have been lingering for months now regarding the C’s interest in Howard. It’s highly unlikely that even getting Howard alone could happen without getting rid of Rondo. But with the cap space and reality of putting Rondo on the trading block, it is possible to go after both. Likely? Maybe a stretch. Rondo does a great job running the offense but Ainge is looking for someone to put up points along side Pierce, which Rondo has never been able to do on a consistent basis. Fast forward a few months to present day and now the Lakers have entered the mix, and their not stopping at Howard. The Lakers want to and are in a decent shape to acquire both Howard and Chris Paul. This idea doesn’t sit well in my stomach. Sure it’s just speculation, but if the Lakers were to trade Bynum and Gasol, for these two stars, you can sure put the seemingly unraveling Lakers of last season back on the map.

Weekend Recap

Amidst the turkey comas and holiday hangovers, Thanksgiving weekend was good to us Boston sports fans. Let’s recap: Despite losing a tough one via shootout, the Bruins are 11-1 in their last 12 games, one point back of the lead in the Northeast Division. The Pats walked into Philadelphia and crushed the playoff hopes of the alleged “Dream Team” as they continue to find themselves seated atop the AFC East. It may not have been from the Celts directly, but the NBA made all fans happy as it looks like the Celtics will have a season, meaning I can finally stop writing up mock game day posts. Unfortunately, nothing groundbreaking from the Sox, but I guess with the way things have been going for them lately, no news is good news. Happy Monday!

First of all, did anyone even know the two sides were meeting today? Did anyone care? Yeah, me neither, but at 3 am I find out 15 hours of meetings have ended in a joint press conference? Good news! Silver and hunter together. It’s on!! Minutes until the announcement is made but it looks like a season will start on December 25….Merry Christmas!

Celtics Game Day – Mock Season

The C’s come home tonight atop the Atlantic Division to play the Toronto Raptors at the Garden. In the middle of a busy week of games, the Celtics are coming off of two straight wins after losing two in Florida. With a lot of hype coming from the B’s game in Buffalo, the 8-2 Celtics hope to keep the momentum going into the Thanksgiving weekend.

They certainly weren’t playing in the Garden or wearing Celtic green, but Rondo and Pierce were in town this weekend for a charity game at Harvard University. Unfortunately, news of a scuffle took precedent over the event, and it too was certainly not on the court or while wearing the Celtic green.

If you haven’t heard already, early Saturday morning Rondo was allegedly part of an altercation while leaving a night club in downtown Lowell. By altercation I mean there was some pushing as a crowd shuffled out of the club (that never happens), and one person ended up swinging at Rondo, supposedly unknowingly. The nightclub, Brian’s Ivy Hall, had been hosting an event featuring the Celtics star, accompanied by a few other notable NBA stars including Nate Robinson, Rudy Gay, and Josh Smith. Apparently there was no report of intoxication by the alleged attacker in the police write up, nor was Rondo drinking at all that night. Now I’ll be the first to admit inebriated decisions are completely null and void, but soberly making the decision to go after a hometown star, accompanied by other NBA stars and several rather large body guards (could be an understatement), probably wasn’t the best way to confront the issue, that is, unless Micky Ward had his back. Gotta love downtown Lowell.

After a strong start to the season, the Celtics found trouble on the road in Florida this past week, losing two straight to the Heat and Magic. A Sunday win at home is exactly what the squad needed on this incredible late November day. The C’s went up against an outmatched Golden State team that just couldn’t hang with the big boys. The win today puts them back on track heading into the big Thanksgiving week.

The red hot Celtics are bringing their talent to South Beach tonight in a highly anticipated national broadcast against Lebron James and the Heat, who also have yet to see a loss. The C’s aim to shut down LJ and Wade en route to snagging their 3rd straight win on the road and 7th overall. With two explosive offenses, this should be a high scoring event. Clear your schedule for the evening. You’re not going to want to miss this one!
