One Game We Will Definitely Watch Tonight: Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics

After one disappointing and three amazing games, the Miami Heat host the Boston Celtics tonight in what has the potential to be a historic battle. An historic, even, if that's how you choose to speak. Then again, as my partner-in-crime, Andrew Abides, noted last night during a conversation we had over the Internet, it could potentially fall flat.

“I have no idea what to expect out of this series anymore,” he typed. Mr. Abides’ astute observation is well-noted. So far, this series has given us just about everything. And with a guaranteed two, potentially three more games, just about anything could happen.

Power Trio

Big-ups to Andrew Abides for finding this picture for me (from Rondo's Twitter feed). The two best players on my favorite soccer team in the world standing next to my favorite point guard in the world. My mind just exploded along with some other parts of my body that may or may not have exploded.

As Andrew and I sat there last night drinking black n' cans (Saranac Black and Tans, in cans), his streaking Nets took it to my first place Celtics with dead-eye three point shooting and passionate defense, which stifled Paulie Walnuts and Rondo.

We bet $5,000 on the game. Neither of us have close to that. I owe him 5k and I don't have it. Celts are now tied with Chicago for first place in the East due to this loss.

None of that matters because of this glorious picture this game produced.

Thank you, Twitter. It's moments like this when you prove why you're the best invention ever.

Celtics Nab Music Star

Yesterday, I wrote a post about how I was confused by the decision the Celtics made to sign Carlos Arroyo. Upon reading this, Andrew pointed me in the direction of Arroyo's other career. And as such, I am no longer perplexed, but instead, elated.

In case you missed it, check this out.



As Abides aptly stated to me last night, "There's nothing you love more than NBA players making music videos." And he's dead on. Arroyo is killin' it. Plus, it's in Spanish, which elevates the genius behind this video to another level.

Amazing move, Danny Ainge. Really just inspired general managing. Welcome to Boston, pop star Carlos Arroyo. You'll always have a place in my heart.
