Sorry, Doc, I Take It All Back

The Celtics are the 2007-2008 NBA Champions, and I couldn’t be happier.  I also owe Doc Rivers an apology: I had pinned most of the Celtics troubles since 2004 on his coaching, and that was unfair.  Some of us would complain about the “Doc Rivers special” if a winnable game was dropped in the fourth [...]

First Real Post

This empty void is bothering me, so I’ll fill it with something of comparable worth.
