Sad, Angry, and Clowns Everywhere

[Editor's Note: Even though Pete is a founding member of and almost-daily contributor to this site, the rest of us sometimes see the need—both online and in public—to reel him in. He's a passionate gentleman, and sometimes his fiery disposition can get the best of him. However, on days following debilitating losses by his beloved Celtics, he's got free reign to speak his mind.

Fuck the Miami Heat.

Ever since falling asleep last night, slightly drunk and extremely depressed about Boston's heart-crushing loss, I've been stressing about how I should react in a No Regard post. So many different thoughts have funneled through my brain, both during the game last night and today, that it's impossible to focus on one storyline. Instead, I'll try and briefly list all of my reactions since my soul was ripped out of my chest by LeBron, Wade and some fuckin' clown named Chris Bosh.

*Combine what Stan Van Gundy and Durant have said about Bosh and it accurately assesses my feelings on Chris Bosh: He's a fake tough guy, a lapdog that follows around LeBron and Wade, picking up their scraps like a washed-up clown at a crumbling circus. So sue me, I added a few bits and mixed a few metaphors.

*Ever since the '07-'08 Cleveland vs. Boston playoff series, Pierce and James have developed the most intriguing one-on-one rivalry in the NBA. More often than not, the player that wins their individual match up leads his team to victory.

*Loved watching Rondo blow by Eddie House as House was trying to earn more than two minutes of playing time by attempting to slow his former teammate down with high pressure and active hands. Nice contribution, you clown.

*Loved Udonis Haslem's return to action. Played about two minutes, got worked and received a technical on his way back to the bench. Way to help out the team, stoner.

*Walter Ray missed the free-throw awarded for the above infraction. One more point and the game would have been won in regulation...

*Shaq logged a little bit more than three minutes and committed two fouls. I wish he'd have fouled out. Also, the first call of these two was terrible by the ref; it was a clean play.

*Did I mention that Bosh's tip-in in overtime made me sick and that he's a serious clown?

*The more I watch Wade, the more I dislike him. I wish they'd take away his ring, seeing as that series was rigged anyway, he doesn't really deserve it.

*At least the Lakers got swept.

*They still have a chance to do this. Steal a game in front of the fake-ass fans in Miami, bring it back to Boston and then the pressure falls squarely on a team that has players who readily admit they're afraid of big moments.

*There was nothing more satisfying than watching D-Wade fall over while dribbling after Rondo deflected a pass that was going to be a sure basket.

*Wade purposely threw Rondo to the ground the other game.

*Big Baby is terrible. Seemed like all he did was miss layups and flop his girth around the floor.

*Doc Rivers is probably the best coach in the league at drawing up plays out of timeouts. So, after LeBron bounced the ball off of his own foot, allowing Boston the last shot of regulation, what the fuck happened?

Whatever, Celtics in 7!!!!
