Eddie House had a decent first year in Boston, coming into town to provide the role of the back-up point guard for Rajon Rondo for most of the season.
His quickness and ability to catch and shoot the ball were the strongest parts of Eddie’s game. He had the ability to get the ball up the [...]

By Geoff ⋅ July 30, 2008 ⋅ One comment

Gabe Pruitt spent most of his time in the NBA Development League in 2007-2008, but has a bright future ahead of him and he’s already got a ring to go along with it. Pruitt also saw no action at all in the playoffs, gaining most of experience against D-League players. However, Pruitt looks to be more [...]

By Geoff ⋅ July 25, 2008 ⋅ One comment

By Geoff ⋅ June 11, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

There are so many “ifs” one can talk about after their team loses a tough game, especially if that tough game is in the NBA finals. There is one “if” in particular though that I believe would truly have changed this game. My “if” is that if Paul Pierce had performed to the ability that [...]

Celtics Survive Fourth Quarter Scare; Lead Series 3-2

By Geoff ⋅ May 29, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

The Celtics had a large 17-point lead towards the end of the game, but it was far from over. The Detroit Pistons are not a team that can easily be counted out when there are still several minutes of basketball to be played, and they proved that. The Pistons provided quite the scare late in [...]
