Somewhere Red Auerbach is smiling and lighting up a victory cigar. The Celtics delivered a beatdown of epic proportions Tuesday night to win their record seventeenth NBA championship, and first in 22 years. This year's final match-up was billed as a rebirth of the classic East Coast-West Coast   more...

I can't even begin to describe how good this feels. One emotion is simply thankful. So here's 17 thank you's (not nearly enough) for some of the people that made it happen. Thank you Danny Ainge (and Kevin McHale) for pulling off the Trade. Thank you Wyc and the rest of the owners for cutting the   more...

This is vintage Scalz. His defense of his lack of playing time in the NBA Finals is so good. Check it out.

I have no idea why they let Brian Scalabrine have his own press conference, but I am glad they did. Now I know why the Celtics $3 million a year for this guy. He seems like a great teammate. High energy guy on the bench and has a cult like ans following among the fans.

We'll have plenty of post-Finals coverage for you. I just wanted to quickly share my two favorite quotes from last night's post-game:Kevin Garnett: "Since day one, man, Paul told me that this city is unlike any other city when it comes to sports, and you give them a reason, they will jump on   more...

I have no idea who the powers that be were that decided that we needed a Brian Scalabrine press conference, but I'm glad they decided to do it. He only got a few questions asked his way and finished with this one from a European reporter....PEACE! I'm outta here. I mentioned last night that I   more...

Oftentimes you see people release their team report cards after the season is over. Well, everyone gets an automatic A when the team wins the championship. This Banner was twice as special as it could have been because of the great personalities on the team. These guys were truly a joy to watch on   more...

Somehow, Vegas doesn't seem that impressed (http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/06/18/lakers-are-favored-to-win-it-all-in-2 009/) with our NBA title (at least going into next year).Not even 24 hours after the Celtics completely dismantledthe Lakers to win the NBA title, Boston is getting very   more...

The Tonight Show had Chris Bosh reporting from the Finals. He is really funny. I loved his All Star commercials but he is even funnier than that. Then again, Scal is pretty funny talking about being the token white guy and KG rubbing his chest for luck. And Big Baby is funny talking about which Sex   more...

Players each have their own way of dealing with defeat. Some guys like to play video games, others spend time with their family. Me? Well, after the Charlotte game I did what I always do after a tough loss....I'll give you a hint: It involves homeless people and screwdrivers!

All these guys accept for Tim Legler can stick it, and our man Scal lets them know. In what might be the best interview all year because he was NOT supposed to speak, he just walked up onto the stage, AND It forced Kobe, who is obligated by the NBA to speak, to wait until he was done!
