Have to say no. Marchand was traded, Ray went on his own. But if you mean results, yes, Marchand just saved the Panthers in a Finals game same as Ray did for the Heat. (Ray’s being much more dramatic, obviously.)

About 15 years later, my son and I went to a fun event at Boston Garden where you could shoot around on the parquet and also get a Polaroid with that very same trophy. Celtics had already won 3 of the new “Larry” version by then, but for some reason didn’t have them on display.

That 4-0 sweep was a lot closer than the Dallas series in the finals

Sorry you have to face this challenge, Bruce, but glad you’ve got an optimistic treatment plan. I’m sure I join many other people in wishing you the best for a successful recovery.

Absolutely. I played freshman football in college and the varsity had 3 future pros. Wanted no part of them. What about you, Mark, did you have a scholarship?

My son played D3 volleyball and my daughter played D2 VB with a partial scholarship. But we knew that was her limit. As the NCAA likes to say, she went pro as a 4th-grade teacher.

And 99% of kids aren’t getting a scholarship either.
My kids played pretty high level AAU (not the Peach jam level) and any of those kids who played in college played D3

Stephen A. should forget about the White House and go after the Knicks job. He’s unqualified for either position, but it would be way more fun watching him fail as a coach than as prez.

Rose broke a cardinal rule of baseball, lied about it for years, and confessed publicly only when he had a book to sell. And he was a felon who went to prison for federal tax evasion. Trump supporting him is perfectly on brand.

I recently got to watch my grandson play a couple of little league games. There was that one shrieking mom: "Ooh, the runner turned towards second. TAG HIM TAG HIM!" Otherwise, the parents were pretty chill. Good to see.

Funny you say that. The Kings won their only NBA title all the way back in 1951 when they were the Rochester Royals. They went up 3-0 and almost blew it, but they took game 7 against … the New York Knicks.

“Might” get better. When you go as long as they have without winning, the odds are they will screw up even the best situations. Guilty until they prove otherwise.

BU’s hockey teams play in Agganis Arena, where this statue stands on Comm Ave. I used to live in the high-rise dorm in the background.

I wasn’t going to say anything, but the irony of the “losers” and “enjoy the lottery” comments, c’mon now. Knicks’ last 25 seasons (since their last ECF): 16 lotteries, 5 playoff series wins. Celtics: 4 lotteries, 31 series wins. They beat us this year, congrats, but it got them squat.

Eh, they just lost to a team coached by former Celtic Rick Carlisle. Advantage to us. 😂

She sounded stupid in the town hall, but now she cleared that up. She's stupid AND an asshole.

What's dumbfounding is they study game tapes regularly. Surely the refs can see the grifters in action and recognize their pet moves. But then they get on the court and fall for -- or worse, reward -- all of those same moves. It defies logic.
