Celtics Hire Butler Stevens As New Head Coach

The Celtics hire former BullDogs coach Butler Stevens as there new head coach. Stevens has a .772 career winning percentage but no NBA expirience. He led his NCAA team to two NCAA title games as well. Hopefully Stevens can coach the Celtics to success and we'll see if he can tolerate Rondo's behavior.

P.S. I know there hasn't been any Red Sox's post lately(Blame that on DJ) but i'll keep updating the sidebar to inform you.)

Big 3 Era Officially Over

The Celtics have traded Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Jason Terry to the Brooklyn Nets for Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Keith Bogans, and first round picks for the years 2014, 2016, and 2018. To me the Nets won this deal getting 2 future Hall of Famers and one of the best 3 point shooters and 6th man in the NBA. Paul Pierce is going to be the hardest to get over considering his whole career was with the Celtics. So the Rebuilding phase officially begins and will probably last for a while.

Anyway the draft was yesterday and the Celtics or should i say the Mavericks drafted Kelly Olynyk but they traded him to the Celtics. Olynyk finished his last season in college career averaging 17.8 PPG and 7.3 RPG. So welcome to the Celtics and "enjoy" the rebuilding phase.

Lackey's Excellence Leads Red Sox to win over Rockies 5-3

Lackey claps and reacts after striking out Rockies, Tyler Colvin in the in the 4th inning

John Lackey was brilliant tonight as he led the Red Sox to a 5-3 win over the Rockies, as we won both 2 games against them. Lackey struck out 12, as he tied a career high, and pitched 7 innings, giving up 8 hits, only 2 runs, and walking none. He would earn the win to go 5-5 and lower his season ERA to 2.99, just showing more and more of who he really is and should be. The Red Sox were able to put up 10 hits and 5 runs, as the star of the lineup was Victorino who went 3-4 with an RBI. Also, Pedroia went 2-4, Ortiz went 1-2 with an RBI and 2 walks, and Nava went 1-3 with 2 RBI's. Napoli also had an RBI. Tazawa came into the 8th, giving up a home run but the score would still be 5-3. Entering the 9th, it would be 5-3 as Koji Uehara would take the mound in a save opportunity, in his new closer role. He would give up no hits and strike out 2, earning his 2nd save of the season, once again, in his new primarily role, the closer.

Lackey's outing was just great fanning 12 batters, and it gave a sense of relief for Boston, as he is suddenly a new better pitcher than he was in his first 2 years with the Red Sox. Wanna know something else good about Lackey? He threw a pitch that reached out to 95 MPH, something he never used to show back in his first 2 seasons with the Red Sox, but he was always dealing with an arm injury then.

Now back to the Clay Buchholz situation, as he is leaving Boston in many questions. On Wednesday, Buchholz's bullpen session was cut short after 18 pitches when he had felt discomfort again in his neck muscle. Later that day, Buchholz was scheduled for an MRI, or medical scan, and more will be told to us once Farrell finds out what is wrong. Right now, there is no time return, but most likely, he is going to be out until after the All Star Break. Now some may be getting worried because the All Star break is somewhat far away and isn't until July 16th, but it may be best for him to just sit it out and get all the rest/time he needs because it would be much better to have our ace in the second half of the season when we really need him down along the road, once the playoff race becomes tighter. So Buchholz may be out until after the All Star break but hopefully that is the best for him as we will hopefully be able to see him pitch along the road later this season.

Anyways, with that being said, the Red Sox will face the red hot Blue Jays who may be 5th in the competitive division, but are 8-2 in their last 10 games and only 6.5 games back of first place now. The 4 game series will be in Boston, and will start tomorrow at 7:10 PM and end on Sunday, and then the Red Sox will face the Padres in a 3 game series at home to end this 9 game home stand.

Aaron Hernandez Charged With Murder

Once star tight end for the Patriots, Hernandez is now facing jail time after being arrested

After an ongoing investigation of a murder case of Odin Lloyd, Patriots star tight end Aaron Hernandez was finally charged with murder of Lloyd, who was friend. The two had a dispute on the way to a night club and that is when Hernandez was said to have murdered him.

At the time of Hernandez's arrest, the Patriots immediately released him from the team. For those of you who don't know, which I'm sure most people know by now, Hernandez was questioned for murder in the case of Odin Lloyd and an investigation had been going on for the last week. Hernandez had destroyed his cell phone and other electronics and handed them to the police, which were said to be evidence. After enough evidence in the investigation, the police and authority had found enough information to arrest Hernandez. Later that day, he was scheduled to have a court case and once he did, they had found Hernandez guilty of the murder and 5 other gun related charges.

Last summer the Patriots had signed Hernandez to a five year $40 million contract, but, oh, what a waste of money that is now. So 2 tight ends currently gone, referring to Gronk, if he is not ready for the season. Hernandez really messed up this time, he made a shame of the Patriots organization and he threw away his promising football career, to jail time. Hey, but Hernandez is going in jail a tight end, and coming out a wide receiver. With all jokes aside, rather than that one, Hernandez has really just made situations worst for the Patriots and he has made a fool of himself.

Well, this is it. Hernandez is going to jail, Gronk is healing from surgery, and the Patriots are looking very thin at receivers this year, who just last year, had one of the best offenses in the league. No worries yet, as football isn't going to start for a while, and hopefully they'll solve their problems eventually. Anyways, so Hernandez was charged with murder, and will be going to jail for a while. That's what he gets.

Not Our Year

(There was no way I was showing Chicago skating around the Garden with the cup)

Shock. Heartbreak. Embarrassment some might say. These are all words to describe Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Bruins were trying to win to extend the series to a deciding Game 7 while the Blackhawks were looking to end it all. You would think that Boston would be the more desperate team, and well, they showed it in the first period. They dominated play throughout and they would go up 1-0 on a goal by Chris Kelly. Paille shot one towards the net that was probably going over it, Seguin grabbed it and dropped it to the ice, then made a great pass in front of the net to Kelly who one-timed it home. In the 2nd Period, Jonathan Toews grabbed a puck and flew up the boards and got to the net when he shot it 5-hole on Tuukka Rask to tie the game at 1. Then, with about 8 minutes to go in the third period, David Krejci setup behind the Chicago net and passed it to Milan Lucic who was right in front. He shot it, but it rolled off his stick a little, and that change in direction might have surprised Corey Crawford, and it found the back of the net to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead. Game 7 looked possible. Then, with 1:16 remaining in the game, and with Chicago's goalie pulled, Toews skated up the ice and threw a pass over to Bryan Bickell out in front, who tapped it in on the open side to tie the game at 2. Now everybody was thinking overtime, where the Bruins could have still won. Then, 17 seconds later, Chicago shocked everyone. Johnny Oduya shot in a puck from the point, it got deflected by something (I haven't watched the replay, really, I don't care what it hit) and went in by Tuukka Rask, who didn't have a chance on it. The Blackhawks had a 3-2 lead with less than a minute remaining, and....that one hurt. It brought the energy right out of the building and left the Bruins in disbelief. They only had 58 seconds to try and score, and it didn't happen. The Blackhawks are Stanley Cup Champions, Patrick Kane won the Con Smythe Trophy, and a game that looked promising at the beginning ended in the worst possible way for the Bruins.

Well, that's that then. Even though I'm disappointed, the Bruins shouldn't think they let everyone down. They still made it to the Finals and came within two games of winning it, I would call that a successful season, especially since everyone was ready for a first round exit in Game 7 against Toronto. Also, we have learned that Patrice Bergeron broke a rib in game 5 and also tore rib cartilage and he played through it. He also separated his shoulder in game 6. Too bad he didn't get rewarded for that.

See you in October.

Good Bye Doc Rivers

The Celtics have traded there head coach Doc Rivers to the L.A. Clippers for a 2015 1st round draft pick. The Clippers obviously won this deal as they got one of the best coaches in the NBA today. The main reason Doc wanted to leave people say is because of Rajon Rondo who reportedly Doc wanted to fight after Rondo dropped the F-bomb at Doc. Now the Celtics are without a head coach and Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnetts future is still up in the air. This my friends is only the begining of whats sure to be a roller coaster offseason for the Celtics.


P.S. The Bruins lost 3-1 yesterday but Anthony's cant post so i'll just tell ya know.
