--James Posey is proud of the fact he's from Cleveland. He grew up not far from the Cavaliers' arena, and he wasn't afraid to wear an Indians cap in Boston last fall when the Indians were playing the Red Sox in the playoffs.

But after being called for a flagrant foul on LeBron James in Game 3, Cleveland isn't giving him much love in return. He gets booed there whenever he touches the ball.

"Oh well," Posey said. "It's a foul. It's hometown love. It's LeBron James."

Asked if it should have been called a flagrant foul, Posey said, "No, not at all. I saw him drive and I reached to grab him. But what I did was the only way I could try to wrap him up."

--There is still a lot of talk about Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau being a candidate for head coaching positions. But although coach Doc Rivers has said he'll allow Thibodeau to interview for jobs while the Celts are still alive in the playoffs, no one has contacted the team to ask for permission.

With jobs in New York, Dallas and Charlotte already filled, the demand isn't as great as initially expected.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We're disappointed right now, but that's to be expected. That's what the playoffs are all about." -- Paul Pierce after the Game 4 loss.

So if Bill Walker were to play I think it would be amazing.  Due to the fact that he is still questionable to being hurt as the SF.  But if he were to play the Celtics would have an awesome line up.  Garnett, Pierce, Allen, and Walker???  Could yo ...(more)

"Kobe is the best player in the world. Iam"  

Really?  Is he kidding.  He's not even the best player on his own team.  I don't like Pierce or Kobe, so I can fairly say that PP can't hold Kobes nutsack.   In fact, lets start a little list of players that you feel are better that this doucher.

1. Lebron

2. Timma ...(more)

I keep hearing how the Lakers are better for the future so I ask myself How. When Pierce Retires Kobe won't be far away as both players are only 1yr apart.Kobe being 30 and Pierce being 31.

So I looked at the current rosters and lets see who does have better Future what will the lakers look like with a team of 25 yrs old and ...(more)

Seems that's the direction the Celtics are heading. Come on, you let Posey go to the Hornets. They better pick someone up, but who's out there??

I would sure hope that the Celtics don't let a great team get away from them. Yes, they have the Big 3, but they co ...(more)
