I was wrong.
With the 4th Quarter beginning I turned to a few of my esteemed colleagues who were with me at The Garden and I said, “I don’t like this lineup for the Celtics to start the 4th.” The lineup consisted of Nate Robinson, Tony Allen, Ray Allen, Glen Davis and Rasheed Wallace. Woops, I’ll take a mulligan on that one.
This unit turned the tide of the game and maybe the series as the Celtics tied up the NBA Finals at 2-2. Down 62-60 to start the quarter, the Celts jumped on the Lakers with a 10-2 run to go up 72-64. The heart and hustle of this unit was unbelievable.

Yesterday marked the state’s first official day under this fresh-faced Senator, and the city of Boston was feeling alive.
Even Big Baby got in on the fun, enjoying a nice little piece of history for himself, as he forever engrained his name in Boston Sports lore among the likes of Pedro Martinez and the 1979 Bruins – for all the wrong reasons. During Tuesday night’s tough loss to the Pistons, a team fresh off a 13-game losing streak, Glen Davis snapped back at a heckling fan who was calling him “fat boy,” and “chubs.” Big Baby then indulged in a war of words with the fan, something that didn’t impress Head Coach Doc Rivers.
He’s not the first Boston sports figure to engage in off-the-field activities with opposing fans, nor is he even the first Celtic to do so. But last night’s incident with a Detroit Pistons fan reminded everyone in Boston that [...]
