(TNT 8PM ET) I have to watch this game because like my main man Carl Spackler always says, “To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit – ever.” My enemy is the Chicago Bulls. They are what stands between my beloved Celtics and another trip to the NBA Finals. They never quit – ever. They didn’t quit last night. In a 40-point rout that was their ninth win in 10 games, the Bulls shot 61.3 percent from the floor. Eight Chicago players reached double-figures. All eight of those players shot more than 50 percent from the field. Yowza! Know this: In only one other game in franchise history (and that game was played 20 years and a day ago) have eight Bulls players scored in double-figures while hitting more than half of their field-goal attempts. On March 20, 1991, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were among the eight Chicago players who turned the trick, and less than three months later, they won the team’s first NBA championship. I’m just saying. I’m just saying, get your popcorn ready!

And then he looked right through me as if I wasn’t there. And he just kept on singing, singing strong and clear. Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song. -Roberta Flack
The Jazz were down 87-86 to the Chicago Bulls down the stretch. The Jazz got the ball and Deron Williams headed upcourt on the fast break. He…Could…Go…All…The…Way! He could, but he doesn’t. Instead, Derrick Rose caught up from behind and knocked the ball away to give the Bulls the ball back with about a minute left. Next thing you know, Rose is blowing past Williams staright to the hizzy. Next thing thing you know, Williams throws the ball away. Next thing you know, the Bulls win! The Bulls win! The Bulls win! Next thing you know, Jerry Sloan stepped down after 23 seasons and 1,127 wins at the helm of the Utah Jazz, saying he simply ran out of energy to coach anymore. Rumor has it, he simply ran out of energy to caoch Deron Williams anymore. Rumor has it, Deron Williams refused to run plays Jerry Sloan called. Rumor has it, Deron Williams led a mutiny against Jerry Sloan. Apparently, he didn’t appreciate Sloan’s Captain Queeglike ways. Queeg: “Mr. Maryk, you may tell the crew for me that there are four ways of doing things aboard my ship: The right way, the wrong way, the Navy way, and my way. They do things my way, and we’ll get along.” Williams didn’t want to do things Sloan’s way. They didn’t get along. Now, Jerry Sloan haws gone the way of Captain Queeg, transferred to an obscure naval supply depot in Iowa. But Williams isn’t the first coach killer the NBA has seen. Wanna read about some more? Sure you do. Follow me after the jump. Read More »

I like Slam dunks take me to the hoop. My favorite play is the alley oop. I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go. Cause it’s basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow. -Kurtis Blow
Ace may be the place with the helpful hardware but this is the place with the NBA hardware. The place with the NBA midseason hardware. The hardware that’s fun to wear. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. More fun than a clown on fire. More fun than a sack of dead kittens. More fun than all of that. Like my main man the Big Fundamental always says: “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.” Who’s good? Who’s better? Who’s best? After the jump, take a look for yourself. Do it. Read More »

Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! We’ve all been sitting around waiting for the next Michael Jordan. Begging for the next Michael Jordan. We’ve all been sitting around the Eastern Gate waiting and begging for the next Michael Jordan to come along riding in on his white horse to perform many great signs and wonders. Many folks in Los Angeles believe all the while, he has already been running the running the rock donning the Purple and Gold. Many folks in Los Angeles are wrong. Read More »

Our hearts were singing. It felt like Christmas time. 2000 miles is very far through the snow. I’ll think of you wherever you go. -The Pretenders
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! We’ve all been sitting around waiting for the next Michael Jordan. Begging for the next Michael Jordan. We’ve all been sitting around the Eastern Gate waiting and begging for the next Michael Jordan to come along riding in on his white horse to perform many great signs and wonders. While we’ve been waiting, LeBron James has done something His Airness himself has never done. While we’ve been waiting, LeBron James reached the 2,000-point mark for the fifth straight season.

And there’s doctors and there’s lawyers and business executives; and they’re all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same. -Malvina Reynolds
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! I think it was Gary Payton who said it last night. I think it was Gary Payton who said Michael Jordan deserves Executive of the Year. I think Gary Payton is right. This isn’t the Wizards. Not Kwame Brown. This is something different. This is the new style Michael Jordan. It’s the new style. Four and three and two and one. What up! When I’m on the mic, the suckers run. Suckers have been running from the Bobcats all right. Read More »

Earlier this week, Matt Cassel’s father passed away. Not an easy thing. Not an easy thing for anybody. Not anybody. Let alone back-up QB to TB for the NEP. Read More »

We go together like rama lama lama ke ding a de dinga a dong. Remembered for ever like shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom. -Grease
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Celtics/Lakers. Lakers/Celtics. Is their any doubt? Any doubt that you care to dole out? Any doubt that you have some knowledge about? ‘Cause if there is, I’d sure like to hear your feeble explanation. Because Stanley, see this? This is this. This ain’t something else. This is this.
