About the NBA Last Night: Greg Oden, Fights, Last Second Shot

First time here? Subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

So last night was an exciting night for NBA fans eh?

First, the greatest player never to play a full NBA game, Greg Oden, finally got through a whole game.

Wow!

He scored 3 points and grabbed 2 boards in 16 minutes of work. Not too impressive but here was 1 of those rebounds and 2 of those points on one play.

If that wasn't exciting enough for you, things got a little ugly during the Rockets 94-82 victory over the Suns. Matt Barnes and Rafer Alston got into it after a cheap shot from Barnes. They were both ejected but something tells me this won't be the last we hear about this.

Still not exciting enough for you?? Ok well heres the last highlight of the night from me. If this isn't good enough for you, nothing will be.

The very hot Celtics faced the undefeated Hawks. It was a close game coming down the line but Paul Pierce put the dagger in at the last second.

Kevin Garnett tries to bully Jose Calderon

During last nights relatively intense Raptors/Celtics matchup, Kevin Garnett decided that it would be a good idea to try and intimidate the Raptors point guard Jose Calderon. I'm not really sure how all of this started but I'm really surprised that he didn't get ejected or at the very least, a taunting foul.

If Kevin Garnett was Eddie House doing this exact same thing, he would've gotten ejected, suspended, fined, or all of the above. It must be nice to be a superstar.

Gotta love the intensity though and the fact the Jose didn't back down, even though KG's got about 8 inches and 40 lbs on him. If only the Raptors could get intense like this more often, they might make it out of the first round of the playoffs.

James Posey signs with the Hornets

Former Celtics swingman James Posey signed with the Hornets this week. The deal is estimated to be worth 4 years, $25 million.

James Posey will be a proven winner coming off the bench for the Hornets. He brings veteran leadership and good 3 point shooting to a team that is on the uprise. He will make a good young team even better.

From ESPN:

"It was a really tough decision for him," Bartelstein said. "Boston was an incredible experience for him every way you look at it. If he was going to leave Boston, he wanted to make sure it was for a team that would compete for championship immediately and the Hornets certainly are in that world."

Because of future luxury-tax concerns, Boston was apparently reluctant to offer Posey, 31, more than a two- or three-year deal starting at the league's midlevel exception (just under $5.6 million) in spite of Posey's considerable contributions to the Celtics' first championship since 1986.

Posey was a key part of the Celtics winning the championship and he has won 2 of the last 3 titles. He also won it in 2006 with the Heat.

Brian Scalabrine doesn’t like the media

Don't tell the Celtics Brian Scalabrine that his team is no good.  Don't tell him that his team is not going to win the title because he will get at you.  Just like he dissed LeBron James during they Celtics series with the Cavs, he is back at it again, only this time he is going at the media "experts" for going with the Lakers to win the championship.

This is must see tv.

Laker/Celtic cheerleader controversy

Whitney

The Lakers and Celtics have more in common than we originally thought. Current Laker Cheerleader Whitney is former Celtic Cheerleader Whitney.

I for one feel duped. I didn't know that this was a traveling gig that these girls do. I thought that you just live somewhere and thats the city that you cheer for. I wonder who shes really cheering for.

Thanks to Hot Clicks for putting me up on this.

Leon Powe definitely came to play last night

During last nights game 2 of the NBA Finals, Leon Powe was in the spotlight.  At halftime they gave him a little section where they told his story about where he was from.

He definitely went through a lot coming up, being homeless and losing his mother and struggling to keep the family together.

He has definitely come a long way and I don't know if their Leon Powe segment inspired him or what but he played like a madman last night scoring 21 points in game 2.  This guy only had 8 points in all of the Eastern conference finals.  He picked a good time to come out of his shell though.

Kevin Garnett taking a little bit of the T-Wolves with him?

Garnett and Cheerleader

Kevin Garnett is having a great time during his first NBA Finals appearance so far but not if the good folks over at Media Takeout have anything to say about it.

According to MTO, Kevin Garnett has been having an affair with this chick for almost four years:

Word going around is that Celtics superstar Kevin Garnett may be been carrying on a long-term relationship with a former Minnesota Timberwolves dancer named Krissy.

The relationship, according to the rumors, has been going on for nearly 4 years. And get this - MediaTakeOut.com has learned that she and Kevin are so tight that she moved to Boston when Kevin was traded from Minnesota to the Celtics.

Here is a picture of Kevin Garnett with his wife....

Now IF these allegations are true and he is cheating, don't worry Mrs. Garnett. I'll be more than happy to comfort you in your time of need.

I don't know if this is actually true or not but from the looks of things, it might be... Check out this pic...

KG cheating

You be the judge but I know one thing, if a chick was looking at me that way, we'd be fucking that night.

Crazy rebound slam by Kevin Garnett [Video]

During game 1 of the Finals last night between the Lakers and the Celtics, Kevin Garnett had a strong start but towards the end of the game, his shot was off and he kept missing.

This helped him though.  Very high percentage shot.

That helped KG get back on track and it also sent a message.  Can't wait for game 2.
