The Boston Celtics have a new big three in the form of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce. Now they have to try and fill out the roster with guys who can win, so they to turn to Reggie Miller? That makes sense, right? He's only 42 and hasn't played for two years. I wonder who Reggie has talked to about this that know him well, maybe the TNT crew?

I have never been a big NBA fan and the recent NBA finals didn't change my opinions about the league. It is mostly a thug league that is heading in the wrong direction. Sure LeBron James is a great player and is good for the league. But, it was the players like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird that led the league into the glorious era that was the 1980s and paved the way for Michael Jordan. Yet there was one player that Magic and Bird paved the way for that never got the chance to play in the NBA and that is the tragic story that is Len Bias (552 words in story) Full Story By bobbyjim45, Section NBA
By Rob LaBrie Five games ago, they were the worst team in the worst division in sports, a broken franchise with no hope of being fixed. Their young players were absolutely terrible, their coach had absolutely no idea, their GM was an absolute failure, and their only star was playing with absolutely no help.
