Pictured: emotional rescuer
The Celtics came out with primal screams and a sweaty coach.
Europe’s amazingly shitty song, The Final Countdown, blared in TD Banknorth and the crowd was brimming with hatred for all things Los Angeles. When House Of Pain’s seminal classic, Jump Around, came on, it felt like the roof was gonna blow off the joint. Then the game started. ...
Lakers vs. Celtics, Game 3: Los Angeles’ Derek Fisher Is The Man
Posted: 9th June 2010 by Hardcourt Mayhem in NBA
Everybody often overlooks Los Angeles Lakers' point guard Derek Fisher. Some criticize him, saying he is too old to play as a starting point guard with the team.
I hate it.
I hate the fact that some Lakers fans don't like him sometimes. That's just horrible. Fisher is probably one of my favorite players in the game. Why? Because he was never selfish or cocky. He didn't ...

Pictured: Royal flop
The refs are catching lots of heat right now for nervously blowing their damn whistles whenever there’s contact—and yes, they’ve made LOTS of terrible calls in these Finals. But consider the possibility that they’re being deceived by Oscar-worthy actors, masters of deception who deliberately mess with the integrity of the game. Rajon Rondo is extremely skilled at the ...

Pictured: the maestro
In musical terms, rondo means that the principal theme is repeated several times. In Game Two, the Lakers guards saw the same thing over and over again: Rajon Rondo running the ball down their throats. This resulted in a series of catch/shoot opportunities for the best catch/shooter in the game, Ray Allen.
Thanks to Rondo's ...

According to Vince Carter, the Orlando Magic would play game four not only for the names on the front of the jersey, but for those on the back.
Carter didn’t live up to expectations, but Orlando did show enough resiliency to survive the Boston Celtics’ comeback, even though it took five extra minutes to do so.
Orlando will live to play a game five on Wednesday night. ...
Conference Finals Preview: Underdog Suns and the Clicking Celtics
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Hardcourt Mayhem in NBA
The NBA landscape seemed to change with the Game 6 Celtics win.
Mike Brown is probably going to be out of a job, LeBron might have just played his last game as a Cavalier, and the City of Cleveland is going to continue to keep the 'No Championships' streak alive, after losing their best chance in a decade.
The game Thursday night had big implications for the reigning MVP and Cleveland, but ...
