Celts Hop On The Diesel Train For The Win, 89-83

Sloppy game from the Celtics tonight at the Garden, but they managed to pull off the 89-83 comeback victory over the New Jersey Nets. Shaquille 'The Big Shamroq' O'Neal led the team with 25 points tonight, a huge season-high, and snatched up 11 rebounds.

Rajon Rondo and his 14.3 assists per game sat out tonight for the third straight time due to a grumpy hamstring, and LeBron's stepdad is now out indefinitely. Delonte West broke his wrist on a layup attempt in the second quarter tonight, no word on when he'll be back.

The Celtics move to 11-4, an Eastern Conference best, and will play the Toronto Raptors at home on Friday.

The Newest Celtic

This is probably the greatest thing since sliced bread. The Diesel Train is pulling into North Station.

Shaquille O'Neal signed a deal with the Boston Celtics. So what questions remain? How will Shaq be used on the team? How will he fit in with the team chemistry? And most importantly...What is his new nickname going to be? In honor of this, I present another video. The Top 10 Best Shaq Quotes.

Go Green

So the Celtics are down 2-1 to the Cavaliers in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. I'm not a huge NBA guy, so you're not going to see a lot of coverage of the C's, but if they reach the finals, I'll be riding that bandwagon like A-Rod rides Jeter on an off-day.

The reason I'm writing this one is to say that the Celtics are screwed. KG got 19 points with 4 rebounds, and Rondo got 18 points with 8 assists...but that LeBron clown got 38 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. LeBrown > Celtics. Now, I'm in the same boat as most of you, F%@$ LeBron. But as far as I'm concerned, the NBA is on the same level as the WWE or Puff Daddy: It's all about the Benjamins. Two of the biggest teams in the NBA, this thing is going to go seven games. And more people love LeBron than the 3-way split of KG, Ray-Ray, and Rondo.

So if you want to watch the games go for it...they're probably more interesting than watching the Sox anyway, but find me when this thing goes seven so I can tell you I told you so.

Back in the Saddle...

So maybe it's been a month and a half since my last blog... my bad, boys and girls. It's the summer, the Sox are struggling their asses off to stay above .500, the Bruins are up 3-1 on the Flyers in the second round of the playoffs, and the Celtics are down 2-1 to the Cavs in the second round. Let's go.

Boston is the center of the universe, so I don't care if you're from Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York or anywhere in between...Keep the Faith.
