Yes, you heard us right. The man behind one of the most controversial scandals in NBA history will be making his way onto the Celtics Late Night Show.

Yesterday’s Results: “It is fine that Rondo scores over 10 points, IF he only scores from time to time depending on the situation”:

Today’s Poll: The Boston Celtics currently have 12 games remaining in the regular season. As they come down the stretch there are multiple things that they will have to do correctly to ensure they are at the top of their game going into the playoffs. Yesterday on Gino’s Jungle I wrote a post stating that defense will be the most important factor but some of you may think differently. With that being said here is today’s daily poll:

If you ever have bad thoughts about the Celtics season so far just imagine being a Nets fan. Although the Celtics have sent us on a roller coaster ride they still have 38 more wins than the Nets. As we currently stand the Nets need three more wins to avoid having the worst regular season record in NBA history.

I’m sure you remember the two fools at the TD Garden back in 2007 that put paper bags on their face in hopes to gain attention from the media (which they did). Well now it’s time for New Jersey Nets fans to get their shot at getting a camera put on them. In last night’s 99-89 loss to the Miami Heat, a Nets fan by the name of Chris Lisi gained national attention by putting a paper bag over his face during the game.

Well I guess that’s not the only reason why gained attention. According to ESPN.com, Nets CEO Brett Yomark confronted the fan causing a verbal war between the two sides.

 Here is the information from ESPN:

 The New Jersey Nets‘ sad-sack season appeared to hit another low Monday night when CEO Brett Yormark shouted at a fan wearing a paper bag over his head.

Yormark left his courtside seat at the IZOD Center late in the second half of New Jersey’s 99-89 loss to the Miami Heat. Yormark then doubled back toward the fan, identified by the New York Daily News as Chris Lisi of Middletown, N.J.

It was at that point that Yormark, Lisi and a friend of Lisi’s got into a shouting match with reporters and photographers nearby.

So next time you get frustrated with the Celtics remember and be thankful that you are not getting into a verbal argument with Wyc Grousbeck

On Gino’s Jungle the other day, I created a post titled, “Rondo Scoring 2 Points Is The Best Invention Since Gino’s Jungle“. The title may be somewhat of a hyperbole, but I see it as being an exaggerated tale of the truth. As the season progresses, it has become noticeable to me that the team plays far better when Rondo is scoring less, and looking to pass the ball more. The team actually does great when you (as a fan), get frustrated with Rondo with the fact that he just decided to pass up a wide open layup to dish the ball out to an open player. In the beginning of the season it was like his assists were his points. He wanted to rack up as many assists as possible. Then, when the Big 3 lost some time to injury, he became a scorer and has kept the mentality for the majority of the time over the past month that the whole team has been back together. It wasn’t until lately that his point totals plummeted and the team is beginning to look back to normal. Is this a fair assumption… or is 1+1 not equal to 2? Feel free to vote on the poll and comment on the post at Gino’s Jungle if you strongly agree or disagree with me.

        vs.

Today at 1pm the Maine Red Claws will tip-off against one of their main rivals, the Springfield Armor (Affiliate of the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks, and New Jersey Nets). The Red Claws currently hold the season series lead by a narrow margin of 4-3. Today will be the last time the teams face of this season, and the Red Claws hope to take the season series from the team with the worst record in the NBDL.

Last time out against the Springfield the Red Claws lost by the score of 109-100 and were led by former Celtic J.R Giddens, who scored 23 points in the losing effort. In that game the Red Claws went into halftime all nodded up at 51 but a 30-21 third quarter that favored the Armor turned out to be the difference in the ball game.

As they currently stand the Red Claws are tied for second place in their respective division, tied with Sioux Fall. Although the Armor come into the game with a record of 7-35 this is a game the Claws can not afford to let slip away. Coming down the stretch they will need to be able to grab every victory they can and today is no exception to that.

Thanks to the Red Claws kind media relations department I will be at the expo today covering the game for Hardwood Houdini and Gino’s Jungle, as well as the Celtics Late Night Show. Be sure to check out all of those sites for an in-depth look at the hottest ticket in Maine, the Maine Red Claws.

Game Notes:

• Former Celtic Dee Brown is the current head coach and director of basketball operations for the Springfield Armor.
• Former Red Claw Noel Felix, who played 30 games for the Red Claws this season, will be in uniform for the opposition.
• Projected starters for the Red Claws are Paul Davis, Maurice Ager, Russell Robinson, Morris Almond, and Darnell Lazare.
• Projected starters for the Armor are Kyle McAlarney, Christopher Ayer, Justin Hawkins, Marcus Campbell, and Dante Milligan.

Before the season started, many Celtics fans had the same feeling that this years bench had the ability to be starters on some of the teams in the NBA. On paper it is beautiful. Sheed, Marquis Daniels, Nate Robinson, and Big Baby are all players who have proven they can get the job done. Yet, when the season began, there wasn’t much to get excited about. They were average at best, and when they came into the game leads were typically given back, instead of gained upon. Defecits were increased, instead of decreased. That wasn’t what we expected.

Much of this can be attributed to the injuries that plagued the bench (it did the starters as well). Big Baby was hurt right before the first game until Christmas, and right as he was about to come back onto the court, Marquis Daniels got injured until around the All Star break. Match that with how Rasheed Wallace has been playing far below his standards, and it became difficult to watch the bench perform.

Lately, however, the bench has been terrific. Marquis Daniels struggled, but is starting to shift his game back around. Big Baby is an animal getting offensive boards, and in the last few games he has finally started hitting his mid range shot that helped lead the Celtics to the 2nd round of last years playoffs. ALSO, as hard as it is for me to say (because it may change tomorrow) Rasheed Wallace has begun to play. He is finally playing a little bit of defense, is getting in the post to work, and is taking (for the most part) only threes that are within the scheme of the offense.

Everything is slowly starting to work its way to how we expected it to be. Officially, in mid March, we are going to see the Celtics that we expected to see in October. As far as I am concerened, whatever works. It is a good thing to get the game on an upward slope now, instead of peaking too early. I stick to my saying that I made mid season, that this year is working like a book that goes from one page, to the next, to the next, and ends with the happy ending.

Yesterdays Poll Results: “Celtics fans would like to see the guys in green take on the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the playoffs.”

Today’s poll is a little off topic and really has nothing to do with the Celtics. On Sunday night’s Celtics Late Night Show I, along with Nick Gelso from North Station Sports, discussed how much we truly despised Lebron James. After we were done bashing him we brought on some callers to offer there thoughts on which player they despise more, Lebron or Kobe. Some of us, including myself, stated that Lebron’s cockiness and attitude makes it much easier to hate him. Others argued that the color of the jersey Kobe wears is a good enough reason to despise him more than Lebron. Because these two are two of the most hated players in the league I decided I would take it to the world wide web to see which player NBA fans despise more.
