Celtics 3OT Win

Coming into last nights game of the day, The Denver Nuggets were the hottest team in the NBA, winning nine straight games. On the other side, The Boston Celtics were also picking up the pace, winning 6 straight even without All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo due to torn ACL...coincidence?
     From the beginning, I could tell this was going to be a hard-fought match...(it was) The Celtics brought it to the Nugget by "dishin' and swishin'" This strategy earned an early lead continuing into a confident advantage through the third quarter. The fourth quarter was totally different. Along with one of the best fast-break offenses in the league, they also score the most points. This ability to score tons of points in little time was shown, as they cut the lead down and down, eventually the game was tied at the end of regulation.
And then there was overtime...
     With 45 seconds left in the first OT, the Celtics were down 99-96. Off of a defensive rebound by Avery Bradley, The C's drove down the court and wound down the game clock. With single digits left in the shot clock, KG had the ball and was doubled, leaving Jeff Green open in the corner. He nailed it. 99-99, end of OT.
     The Celtics were in the same situation with 18 seconds in 2OT remaining. They in-bounded the ball to Pierce at the top of the key and had to turn and shoot over a defender who was a little shorter than him. He Nailed it. 107-107 heading into 3OT.
     In Triple OT The C's brought it straight to the Nuggets, but with 1:32 left the game is tied at 113's. Then Jason Terry made his 5th 3-pointer of the game, cruising the Celtics up by 3 points. This was the final nail in the coffin.

PATRIOTS DEPRESSING LOSS :(

Before the game I thought the Pat's were gonna win (like everyone else in the world) by 7. In the first half it was ok but not great. On our first drive Tom Brady threw his first interception in like 10 games (go figure) and in the second half we played HORRIBLY. On almost every drive we punted and they seemed to score. I never thought I would say this but I wish that they didn't get the by week in the playoffs. Even if we still played the Jets we would have had more playing time in an actual game. I know that they practiced but I still think there is a major difference between a playoff GAME and practicing. When I watched our last drive and we giout the extra point and we were within two i thought we had a chance. The first play for the Jets was a run that went almost 60 yards and they were inside the 5. That was when I knew my playoff hopes for the Patriots were over :(

DARN YOU REX RYAN (and all jets players)!

BUSTER POSEY!

I bet you guys didn't know this about Buster Posey. For high school he went to Lee County, in Leesburg, GA,. For the baseball team he played short and pitched. But he stood out the most on the mound. Before his senior year he pitched in the World Junior Championship on Team USA that had Ike davis (New York Mets) Justin Uptin (Arizona Daimondbacks) and Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburg Pirates). At college (FL. State) he played only SS (shortstop) but in his sophmore year his coach had an idea to put him at catcher because he wouldn't have the footspeed of a major league short. He once played all NINE positions in one game in college and made the switch from short to Catcher very easily. Even in his first year in the big leagues he still shakes off signs from pitchers and makes sure his decisions are right. Matt Cain pitcher for the Giants said, "He was not afraid to jump right it. He just wanted to get right in." Even in his first year in a big league uniform I can see Posey being in A LOT of all-star games and a future hall of famer. He proved that to me when in the world series he cought on the winning team and getting the MVP.
