Is anyone really scared of the Celtics?

24 07 2007

Sure as hell doesn’t look like Tim Duncan is..

Is anyone scared of Boston? Short answer no. Look at every team in Sport’s worst division.. the Hellhole or as you might call it the Atlantic Division. Toronto, New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York. Why would any of those teams worry about a few ageing stars and an “upcoming” forward.

Heres what the other teams had to say when interviewed:

Toronto: Boston who’s?

New Jersey: Go back to the lotttery

Philadelphia: Our mediocrity is to much for you

New York: We have Donaghy on our side

On a more serious note According to ESPN’s Hollinger ratings the Boston Celtics have 3 of the best players in the league with: Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Al Jefferson. The only other two teams in the same situation are the Spurs and the Suns and a little hunch tells me those teams aren’t doing to badly.

 





Nightmare in the NBA: Corruption being investigated

This is bad, This is very bad. Many have questioned it for years without success. Tim Donaghy is at the center of a federal investigation. The investigation consists of accusations that the NBA Ref “Fixed games and bet on ones that he officiated” Supposedly Donaghy had a gambling addiciton and was threatened by a string of Gangsters who where problem gamblers.

The sad thing is, Now every time you think you see a bad call there will be people claiming that there was corruption. A sad day for the NBA.

The worst part is that this will enable fans to claim any tough loss decided on a call they view questionable. Win by 1? Get ready to hear that “your team just paid the ref off” from sore losers.

This has the potential to be worse than the steroids scandal since steroids do not automatically produce a win, a ref in your pocket all but does.
