Game Five Twitters

Celtics go down big early but manage to claw their way back.  Once again, even though it is a loss, I am optimistic that the Celtics kept it close in a game where you knew the Lakers would play with desperate energy and a number of the Celtics starters were limited by injuries.  Other thoughts:

-  Jeff Van LegHug on Luke Walton:  "he has great basketball IQ, but poor lateral movement,"  which is a polite way of saying "Luke Walton is a white guy, but he basically sucks."

-  Whiney McRapist heaves the ball out of bounds and has the temerity to bitch out Gasol for not rolling off the pick.  Maybe Schilling was right. 

-  Forget about teh suck, that Bill and Luke Walton halftime feature was touching.  But if I am playing pickup basketball at the Walton's, I am so picking Larry Bird first.

-  With 9:26 left in the 3rd Quarter, the following exchange occurs:

Mike Breen: "Derek Fisher appears to be in some discomfort."

My Wife:  "Good!  The little bitch!"  (awkward pause)  "I hope its psychological discomfort."

-  It will be good to be home.  Assuming the plane ever gets here.

Game Four Twitters

Greatest comeback ever or greatest choke ever?  Other thoughts:

-  Farmar's off kilter buzzer beater at the end of the first half was pretty much indicative of everything that went wrong in the first half

-  Ray Allen driving at will past a flat footed Vujabitch was pretty much indicative of everything that went right in the second half

-  My wife - a feminist and all around enlightened women - turns to me in the second quarter and declares:  "Derek Fisher is a little bitch."  Yes, yes he is. 

-  How many WEEI callers will be calling for Doc Rivers' head today?  Coach's decision to go small and spread the floor with Posey and House was inspired.

-  Garnett finally realizes that he has a post up game to go along with his mid-range jumper

-  Whiney McRapist explaining how the Lakers will bounce back from the lost:  "Whine about it, a lot of wine, a lot of beer, a couple of shots, maybe like 20 of them, digest it, get back to work.  Northing you can do."  In related news, Kobe Bryant found dead this morning in an apparent case of alcohol poisoning.

The Final Straw...

So Schilling's blog post was a bit inane, but did Whiney McRapist really need to respond to it with this:

"You're asking for my response to it?"  said Bryant.  "Go Yankees."

Game 2 Twitters

The Celtic's defensive collapse at the end of the fourth quarter was alarming, but a couple of clutch free throws seal the deal.  Bring on the Staples Center and those arrive late, leave early Lakers fans.  Other thoughts:

-  Whiney McRapist getting T'ed up for bitching about touch fouls.  That is irony.

-  Hidden Powe comes up big with 21 points, including a series of breathtaking dunks to close out a mega third quarter.

-  Every time Rondo passes up an open jump shot, a puppy dies.  

-  People often say that Pau Gasol is Kobe's Scottie Pippen.  What a huge insult to Gasol.

-  As much as I love out-of-bounds hustle plays, Odom spiking the ball on a prone P.J. Brown was busch league.

-  Overheard in Cambridge:  "Driving that train, high on cocaine, why does my Luke continue to bring teh suck."
