The Celtics absolutely broke the Lakers heart last night with a 24 point comeback in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Celtics are now up 3-1 in the series so you can turn out the lights the party is over. I included a clip below of Ray Allen making an unbelievable reverse layup in the fourth quarter that in my opinion really took the wind out of the Lakers sails.

Celtics cover -2.5 against the Lakers

Tonight is the all important first game of the seven game series in the NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. If you can take down the first game in the Finals you have roughly a 78% chance of winning the World Championship. While I think Boston will pull down game one I do think the Lakers will win the Championship.

Overall Record:

NBA 27-18
MLB 8-2
College Football: 44-41-1
NFL 63-33-3
College Basketball 102-69-6
NHL 0-1

* Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon battle it out in Phoenix today with two races to go for the Nextel Cup Championship. I could care less because these two teammates are not on my liked list in the NASCAR world.

* Bean Town has more to cheer about these days with the Boston Celtics surging out of the gates with a 5-0 record. Could Boston actually sweep the three major professional sports championships this year?

* Highly touted OJ Mayo made his debut last night with USC by dropping 32 points, 4 assists and 2 steals. That is an impressive evening, but it didn’t help the Trojans because they fell at home to Mercer of all teams. Mercer hails from the Atlantic Sun conference where a little team called Gardner-Webb plays. Ever heard of them?

* The Kansas Jayhawks are now 10-0 in college football after popping Oklahoma State last night 43-28. When do we finally say this team is for real?

* Miami said goodbye to the Orange Bowl last night in a most embarassing way. After decades of big games and wins Miami fell to Virginia last night 0-48.

Not only is he possibly coming back, but it’s rumored to be with the Boston Celtics. I personally think Reggie is still valuable based upon his shooting alone and he would be an excellent addition to the revampled Celtics. Danny Ainge has work left on his plate in respect to filling out his squad after losing so much in the trade for Garnett. In the last week they have signed Eddie House and Scott Pollard and we will just have to see if Reggie Miller is next.

It was a little over a month ago we discussed our thoughts on a Kevin Garnett trade to Boston. We didn’t think there was a chance the trade would actually happen, but it turns out we were wrong. It is being reported a deal is in place to send Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Theo Ratliff and maybe even Ryan Gomes to the Minnesota Timberwolves for KG. Who would have thought the Celtics would give up all that talent for Garnett? I think the Celtics have to be thought of as a contender now though in the East now with Garnett alongside Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

The Seattle Sonics picked up all everything Kevin Durant with their second pick, but that was just the beginning of their 2007 draft.  Ray Allen and the Sonics #35 pick was traded for the #5 pick Jeff Green of Georgetown along with Delonte West and Wally Szcerbiak.  The Sonics made out like bandits on this deal and have brought a new found fever to a dying organization.  Well done Seattle!

This rumor is hot right now, but I can assure you it won’t happen. Kevin Garnett will end his career in Minnesota (unfortunately) so disregard all the media hype around this possible trade.

My name is Sebastian Telfair and I am about to be let go from the Boston Celtics due to ridiculous accusations. I just got arrested last week for having a loaded gun in my car while driving 77 mph in a 45 mph zone with a suspended a license. I have been wrongly accused of things before since I arrived in the NBA. I was wrongly fined by my old team the Portland Trailblazers when they found a loaded gun in my pillowcase on the team’s private jet back in ‘05. I don’t know why everyone is picking on me, but I wish they would stop hatin!

Sincerely,

Sebastian

Dennis Johnson former guard of the Boston Celtics has died at the young age of 52 from a heart attack.  Johnson was part of the Celtics dynasty along with Bird, McHale and Parish when they won three World Championships in the 80’s.  My heart and best wishes go out to Johnson’s family.

The losing streak is over and just at the right time.  If they wouldn’t have won tonight against Milwaukee then they could of at least tied the longest NBA losing streak at 24 games since the next five games would have been on the road.  Instead the losing streak ends at 19 games which in all reality is still down right pathetic.  Congratulations Boston, but don’t get to happy over one win.
