Game 3 starts in about an hour. Enjoy Senor Fresh's remix to Whatever We Like before the game and let's hope Kevin dominates the paint, Paul gets to the line, Ray pops threes, and Rondo triple dubs the Celtics to a 3-0 series lead.

Garnett Earns Suspension, Noah Calls Him "Dirty"
+

"I'm going to say it: He's a dirty player," Noah said after he and his Chicago teammates practiced at Quicken Loans Arena in preparation for Monday's Game 2 against the Cavaliers. "He's always swinging elbows, man. I'm hurting right now because of an elbow he threw. It's unbelievable. He's a dirty player. It's one thing to be competitive and compete and all that.
"But don't be a dirty player, man. He's a dirty player."
Personally I consider Joakim Noah as the dirtiest player in the NBA. Large in part due to the fact he looks like a goddamn cracked out Italian Greyhound/Black Poodle mutt. Aside from being the ugliest piece of shit in the League, he is the biggest pussy, literally. 6' 11" and you're crying about taking a love tap to the chest from KG? Don't be mad KG is an accomplished vet, and you're struggling to make it out of the first round once again. Here's an idea, worry about the Cav's and stop worrying about the Celtics(for now at least). Clearly you're still bitter about last years series, but soon enough Lebron and the Cav's will be drowning your tears with champagne yet again. Go suck off Q-Rich you pusswhip.
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has been suspended for Game 2 of Boston's first-round playoff series against the Heat for landing an elbow to the face of Miami's Quentin Richardson in a fourth-quarter fracas during Saturday's Game 1.
The announcement was made Sunday by Stu Jackson, NBA executive vice president, basketball operations.
Richardson was fined $25,000 for his role in the altercation.
"I have no beef with Q, I know him personally. I thought what he did was a bit disrespectful, standing over a guy hurt, you know, and talking nonsense. Before you knew it, it all just broke out. I gotta use my head, but all I saw was Paul hurt and that's all I cared about at that time."It's not like anyone wasn't expecting this, but commissioner David Stern confirmed KG's 1-game suspension for game 2 earlier this evening. Yes, he jocked a bow, but did he really have a choice when he was corned by Q-Rich tha Bitch? Oh well, it will make a game 2 victory just that much sweeter.
FUCK YOU Q-RICH
Quentin Richardson is a little bitch. Keep giving your head daps dude, get at me when you win something.
Fucking pussy.
Should we believe in Kevin Garnett and the Celtics?
Cries and whispers about Kevin Garnett
You could hear them if you walked around the city long enough. Concerned whispers. Almost like cries for help.
But Rivers knows the whispers are out there, not only about Garnett but about the rest of the team, too.
Doc puts it this way: "Do [the players] hear it? They have to hear it. As long as they don't believe it. We are old. We are an old basketball team. We're not a very athletic basketball team. But we are a skilled basketball team, a smart basketball team."
When I ask him how the players react to the talk, Rivers' response sums up why anyone should think twice before giving up on this team: "They don't give a shit."

Great article by Scoop Jackson on Kevin Garnett. Gave me a little bit more hope for the Celtics heading into the playoffs -- whether or not it's false hope remains to be seen. But hey, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
Doc Rivers may leave Celtics in off-season
Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers is leaning toward leaving the team after this season, sources told the Boston Herald, but he told the newspaper Tuesday that no final decision had been made about his future.
There had been rumors in seasons past about the 48-year-old Rivers stepping down, and once again it's the tug of his family life -- not another NBA coaching opportunity -- that may pull him away.
Family first. You know at first when I look at this article I said to myself it makes perfect sense for Doc to leave the Celtics after this season. He has three seniors, one in college and two in high school. One of his sons is one of the best high school basketball players and will be starting his college career. He doesn't want to miss this time in his son's life. He needs to be there for his son. To help his son and watch his son achieve success. Then, you know I actually sat down and thought about it for a minute. Family first. That phrase is used all the time in this situation, but what about the Celtic family?
Back when the Celtics signed Doc to a contract to coach the team I thought it was a horrible decision. I did not think Doc was the right man for a job. He was fired from the Orlando Magic for his inability to create a winner. There was no denying Doc could coach the young guys and develop them, but he was not a proven winner. Secondly he was not a Celtic. Doc was an Atlanta Hawk, he had been through the battles through out the 80s against the Celtics and should have hated them. Why would a Hawk be a good fit for the Celtics? There was so many ex-Celtics out there dying for a job, why didn't Danny give one of them a shot. Instead, he chose an Atlanta Hawk to bring back the Celtic pride? Give me a fucking break, right?
Then Doc went on to lead the Celtics to a championship with the aid of Danny Ainge trading for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. There was some Doc supporters who said Doc deserved praise for taking a bunch of players who had never played together and turn them into a championship winning team. There was also a flip side who said the team didn't even need a coach. They were so talented they were going to win the championship no matter what. Especially since Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce wanted it so badly.
I was on neither side. I was 50/50. I thought Doc did what he always did. Didn't lose a game for the Celtics that year, but most certainly didn't win a game. He does a solid job year in and year out. You get exactly what you want from Doc. Exactly what the team should do.
So it this brings me back to my original point. Family first. Doc River is choosing his family first. The Rivers family. That's why Danny should have hired a Celtic. If he had done that, family would never be a reason because the coach's family would have been the Celtics. Just before the ship sinks and the Celtics become even older than they look today, Rivers is going to bolt and claim he needs to be there for his kids.
And that my friends proves, Celtic tradition was not brought back with Banner 17. There is no Celtic Pride anymore. The team has shown that this season and now the coach will show it this off-season.
So Danny, do what is right for the Celtics and not for Doc. Don't let Doc sit around all off-season and try to decide. We don't need a Brett Favre saga here. When you get bumped out of the first or second round, tell Doc to go be with his kids like he wants to be. Get someone in here that will restore Celtic Pride. Someone that will infuse energy into the big 3. Someone that will tell Rasheed Wallace to stop shooting threes and get down low. Someone who will call out Kendrick Perkins. Get someone in here with a vision. Someone who can win games when we least expect. Someone who will restore Celtic Pride.
