New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[jadis]

Celts are 13-11 whereas Lakers are 12-12 so I'm still favoring the Celtics tomorrow Phil

I remember as a kid watching Bob Cousy play for the Celts

Trivia time before the final Celtics Lakers game of the season. I doubt they will meet in the Finals. Since 1959 to 1969, the Celtics had beaten the Lakers in the Finals every time, for a 7-0 record. My first experience of this famed rivalry came in the 1984 Finals where the scene was just so electrifying for me to see as a first timer. With all the drama from 'Henderson stole the ball', to the McHale clothesline of Rambis (today that must be a Flagrant 4), to Kareem in oxygen tank in Game 7 of the sauna sweat bath, and finally to Red Auerbach's cigar lighting moment at the locker room asking Brent Musburger - "Whatever happened to the Lakers' dynasty?", it was truly an unforgettable moment for this Celtics fan. And the record then was 8-0 for Celtics. Fast forward to 2010 and the C's has a Finals split with the Lakers, with Perk missing part of Game 6 and the whole Game 7 as Gasol and Bynum at up the boards for the Lakers win. Tonight may be a regular game, but the rivalry still lives on.

I remember that well Phil, however in the present era in the 3rd and 4th periods, it seems the entire Lakers team is in oxygen tanks along the side lines.

For selfish reasons I hope the Laker-Celtics games goes quadruple overtime.

Clippers play the Celtics tomorrow night and a very tired Boston team means advantage LAC.

 

[Steve williams]

good first period as it is LeBron vs Celtics.
33-31Celtics

 

[Steve williams]

Well played half by both teams

Lakers lead 60-55

 

[Steve williams]

seems it is Lebron vs Tatum game as both are in double digits

However the 2nd half becomes a different game for the Lakers when they typically give up large leads

 

[jadis]

Celtics lose this one.

 

[Steve williams]

I think so Phil. They were up by ss much as 21 and suddenly the lead was only 12 but here tonight the Lakers look like they will win this one as they lead 111-94 with 3:00 left in the game

 

[Steve williams]

Lakers are surging as they win their 2nd game of the year by double digits

117-102

The news of the day

Shaq plans to buy all 11 of Russell's rings at auction

Shaquille O'Neal has his eye on several items in the upcoming auction of Bill Russell, who is selling off his personal memorabilia for charity.

 

[WLVCA]

Clips vs Celtics.

Paul George out tonight with sore elbow.

Friendly match. No rivalry.

Cavaliers beat Bulls. Their young ones are blazing.

Cavaliers beat Bulls. Their young ones are blazing.

The Cavs are for real. Not good enough to go the distance but good enough to be spoilers

 

[WLVCA]

Clippers up at the 63-51 as Brandon Boston, one of the Clippers promising rookies, hits a long 3 at the buzzer.

Coach Lue will play the young players, Doc was always hesitant with the youngsters.

 

[WLVCA]

Clippers were up by as much as 21 but Celtics close the gap to 9 at the end of the 3rd quarter

A good game but a nail biter The Clipps should be able to hold on for the win

 

[WLVCA]

Tatum is heating up - now 21 points

 

[WLVCA]

This Brandon Boston kid has been amazing for the Clips - 27 points so far with minutes left

 

[WLVCA]

Celtics cut the lead to 5 with 1:42 left in the game
