Boston-Homer

Here is go... welcome to a running diary, chock full of ADD tangents...

8:03- I am tired. The C's better not be. Being a fan during the playoffs is hard... here we go...

8:10- Two quick fouls for the Truth... really? Again? Steph checks in. Magic love to shoot threes. Remember that C's team that made the playoffs in 2001 and 2002. They were similar to this magic team in that they shot too many threes. It will haunt the Magic...

8:12- First timeout called by Magic. C's want to get Ray Ray going, that is obvious. The Magic are chucking up threes and I am not hearing Dwight Howard's name called at all. Perfect. Rondo is beginning to make me nervous. He seems a bit too big for his britches at times. Let's keep an eye on this...

8:25 - C's look more solid. Magic are still shooting there shots. C's are getting to the line and Magic are picking up fouls...but it is still too close for how poorly the Magic are shooting...


8:15- Bruins winning 1-0 down in Carolina at first intermission. Is it ironic that the two things that have intermissions are theatrical events and hockey games? I cannot think of anything else with an intermission...

8:21 - C's letting Magic hang around... those threes will fall in bunches later. They better give themselves some room. Pietrus two quick fouls. Second one was lame...

8:22 - J.J. Redick just hit 2 quick threes... I guess I was right. I wish I could type J.J. Redick the way that Marv Albert says it... I will try... here goes nothing...
J......J.... REDick...

8:32 - After first quarter the C's lead 26-21. Way too close. C's need to continue getting to the line and they need to make sure they remind J.J. REDick that he is not on Duke anymore, that should do it...

Also, can we come up with a name for the collective groan every white guy makes when Scal passes up a semi-open shot. It is so audible on the TV... A Scal Moan? A Scal Groan? A Scroan? I think it should be called a Scroan. There, done....

8:40- Eddie House with a great lay-up after (another) Magic missed shot. 4-12 from behind the arc. Scal and Eddie and putting the bench back in Boston here these last three games. A great sign.


8:47- Timeout Magic. C's 10-1 run. C's lead by 13... They are starting to go inside to Howard. Starting to look like the Magic were happy with their one win in Boston. After reading some stuff from the Orlando Sentinel it seems like every thought one game was enough to win the series... Here is a link, check it out...

8:51- Did Paul Pierce's check to the refs not clear the bank? My goodness, this is ridiculous...


8:53- Scala-THREE-nee!

8:55- Its official. Rondo is too big for his britches... 11 shots and one really bad one across the middle just now with a fresh shot clock... Also watch him rebound. He has stolen two rebounds from teammates...

9:00- I love the Reggie Miller comedy show that has come out of these playoffs...his ridiculous Blackberry commercials. And they just had him pretending to wade through the "Paparazzi" after Tom Brady sent him a sweet question about Reggie dealing with the Paparazzi.

9:05- I am so bored with this game that I am now on a running chat on the Orlando Sentinel. Its amazing what a half of basketball can do to change their attitude. I am so excited for the "well we got out of Boston with a win" articles tomorrow.

9:09- Yawn. Lets crunch some numbers... Lets combine the second half of game one and the first half of game two....

Magic 81
Celtics 115

Wow, that is pathetic. The Magic are just not that good. They dont do anything that makes any Boston fan nervous. Shooting threes does not win you a series...

9:31- Strange start to the half. C's no bucket in first 4 possesions. Then Baby knocks down a baby hook. Then Baby steals it! Rashard Lewis should be dominating this game. He is being covered by guys who he is faster than, so much faster. I dont get it. I mean Scal is shutting him down.

9:35- Not taking Pierce out is bad move here. 13 point lead and bench has been solid. Ride the bench until lead is under 8.

9:41- Stan Van Gundy "At some point, we have to play a little defense." Well said SVG...

9:46- Edward House is on fire...lets hope this keeps up for the next month...

9:51- Well the C's are rested and awesome... This game is over. So I am going to do one last thing before signing off unless something unheard of happens...

It's now time for... What makes Hedo Turkoglu so ugly?!

This man is "perfectly ugly." Where should we start? Lets go to his hair. Here his hair is dripping into his forehead on both sides, it is sufficiently gelled and European. Phenomenal.

Then there is the forehead, my goodness the fourhead is massive. It is so big it is driving his eyes down towards his chin. If you look closely at his eyes they are slanted, heavily slanted. Is this from his forehead taking over his face? Possibly.

Hedo's ears are also very low. His forehead seems to be fighting a multi-front war, and winning. Unreal. Either his forehead is like the Roman Empire or his face is like the French Army...

When you throw in the fact that he is more than 6'5'' it makes him a terrifyingly ugly figure.

So makes makes Hedo so ugly? His forehead... it is winning the war...


Alright, so the C's wrapped up the game. They have killed the Magic since the first half of game one. I cant wait for game three in Orlando when the lame Magic fans come out to root for their team that stole a game from Boston. I wonder at what point that argument ends? Probably after game 6 when they are packing their things at the end of the season. The Magic are not scary at all...
