Career losers

As a disclaimer, I dislike the Celtics to begin with but this year's playoff series with Atlanta is especially sweet to watch.

For all of the insider trading that took place for the Celtics to land Garnett and for all of the saturation hype about how destined the Celtics were to win it all (presumably because the NBA owes Garnett a title), the Celtics are playing just like who they are - perennial losers.

Pierce has long been labeled as a "punk" in the blogosphere. Not a healthy rock 'n roll punk mind you but a a childish bully-type punk. Game six illuminated the source of that observation by NBA watchers. Pierce does not deserve to win a thing. Nada.

Ray Allen on the other hand is one of my favorite players yet he has never won a thing. Of the -cough- big three, he probably deserves better (say, San Antonio).

Garnett is one of those guys who could be surrounded by all-start squads and still cannot win a ring. I shed no tears here. Ewing, a far more heroic player, never won a ring either but deserved to.

Doc Rivers is being skewered over at the Elba Knicks forum and deservedly so. Seems like he's a nice guy surrounded by great bench coaches and still can't sweep the lowest ranked playoff team in the playoffs. Weird.

My guess is that when they built the new garden some Knicks fan buried a David Wingate jersey in the foundation. May Celtics fans cheer long and hard and never win another title in that building.

As for the media, so many commentators act as though Atlanta were just winning because they were at home. How is this different from the rest of the league with the exception of teams tanking for ping-pong balls?

TNT makes it sound as if Atlanta should just know their place and lay down.

Personally, I hope those crazy bastards from Atlanta keep on winning - just because.

Necessities

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
