Rim Rocking Report: Ray Allen joins the Heat
Posted on 7 Jul 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Double the money and a no-trade clause from the Boston Celtics couldn't sway Ray Allen from signing with the Miami Heat. Two grueling days of recruitment for the Heat, and waiting for the Celtics, ended when Heat owner Micky Arison tweeted “It's 2:30 a.m. in London and I was just woken up with great news. Welcome to the family -No. 20”. Who knew 140 characters could hurt so much if you're a...

NBA Finals: Observatory Notes from Game 1
Posted on 13 Jun 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Game 1 of the NBA Finals was the tale of two halves but the Oklahoma City Thunder prevailed 105-94 behind Kevin Durant's stellar 17 point 4th quarter and overall game. Durant was unfazed by the pressure of his first Finals appearance dropping 36 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists to put a choke hold on a game that the Miami Heat had hoped to steal away. His running mate, Russell Westbrook, nearl...

End of An Era…Celtics lose Game 7 to the Heat 101-88
Posted on 10 Jun 2012 by Warren Shaw.
It took every thing the Miami Heat had to rid themselves of the never say die Boston Celtics and advance to the NBA Finals. It even took some things the Heat didn't know they had. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals ended with a Heat victory 101-88 but the final score doesn't do the tightness of the game any justice. LeBron James answered a few critics with another masterpiece dropping 31 p...

Business Trip…LeBron dismantels the Celtics in Game 6
Posted on 8 Jun 2012 by Warren Shaw.
In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals the Boston Celtics were at the mercy of the 3 time MVP LeBron James and the Miami Heat blew the Celtics out 98-79. Its was as simple as that. Great players have the ability to carry their team to victory for an entire game and that's exactly what James did in Game 6. With 45 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists on 19-26 shooting, James was the personifi...

Full of Surprises…Celtics take Game 5 over the Heat 94-90
Posted on 6 Jun 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Remember when everybody and I mean everybody said the Boston Celtics could not defeat the Miami Heat? I remember it vividly because I was one of the many who uttered the same sentiments. There is still a very real possibility that Miami bounces back to take the series. But after Boston's Game 5 win over the Miami Heat 94-90 in one of the guttiest performances in the “Big 4″ era, ...

Evening the Odds…Celtics take Game 4 in OT 93-91 to tie the series
Posted on 4 Jun 2012 by Warren Shaw.
The Eastern Conference Finals have been a mockery in officiating for both teams and an exercise in raising the blood pressure of all interested parties. This heart attack inducing series is now tied 2-2 after the Celtics held off (and came back against) the Heat 93-91 in overtime. Dwyane Wade (20 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists) missed what would have been the game winning 3 pointer when Marq...

LeBron and Great Expectations
Posted on 3 Jun 2012 by Steven Keys.
Like every NBA rookie, LeBron James had high hopes. When he joined the Cavaliers right out high school (Akron) after being selected # 1 in the 2003 Draft, he surely thought anything was possible. As far as NBA accolades were concerned, the sky was the limit. Not just because he was a phenomenal talent with a ton of hype, but because any team that uses the 1st overall pick on an untested 18-year...

Adjustment Bureau…Celtics temporarily cool the Heat in Game 3 victory 101-91
Posted on 2 Jun 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Sometimes the game of basketball just takes a few tweaks. Minor adjustments if you will. With their backs against the wall after a demoralizing loss in Game 2, the Celtics rebounded and held off a furious Miami Heat comeback attempt to win Game 3 101-91. The final score is somewhat misleading because Boston held a 22 point lead entering the 4th quarter but Miami went small with LeBron James a...

Effort loss…Celtics fall short to the Heat 115-111 in Game 2 OT loss
Posted on 31 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Sometimes your best effort just isn't good enough. Such was the case for Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. Miami defeated Boston in a game many are already calling an instant classic, 115-111 in overtime. The Celtics wasted Rondo's video game like line of 44 points 10 assists and 8 rebounds in a heart breaking and defining loss...

Technical difficulties…Celtics struggle against the Heat in 93-79 loss
Posted on 29 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Momentum. It is a real thing especially during the course of a NBA game. Even more so in the playoffs. The Miami Heat captured momentum at key moments of Game 1 on the Eastern Conference Finals to defeat the Boston Celtics easily 93-79. Every time the Celtics had a chance to seize momentum it seemed like either a bizarre technical foul would be called or an untimely offensive lull would transpi...

What was meant to be: Celtics and Heat Conference Finals Preview
Posted on 27 May 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Blame it on the injury of the Chicago Bulls All-Star guard Derrick Rose. You can even blame it on their coach, Tom Thibodeau, depending on your take. But when the Bulls lost Rose to injury, the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals fate was forever changed to include the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. Boston has benefited the most as a healthy Bulls team most likely would have defeated them in the Sem...
