Why a Lakers-Celtics finals is bad for the NBA (and good for the NHL)

Though it is one of the most storied rivalries in all of sports, the showdown between the Lakers and Celtics in the 2010 NBA finals will do nothing, but harm to the league. The 12th meeting between the two teams in the Finals leaves much to be desired, as it is the least wanted outcome out of all the possibilities when entering the NBA playoffs.

North East Baseball Fans

I realized today that Yankees fans are like Catholics, they think the Yankees are the best no matter what and everyone else should be a Yankees fan or they are committing sin.

Mets fans are like Jews, they are used to suffering and take a lot of crap from people and are never satisfied with their team.

And Red Sox fans are like extremist terrorists, they only live to hate the other religions.

Stay Calm Magic Fans

You may be worried if you are a Magic fan or anyone besides a Bawstoner after game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Don't fret NBA fans, the game may not have went as well as you wanted but there is no reason to be worried. The Magic will still win this series. They played as poorly as a team could play on offense and they were still in the game. They shot such low percentages, especially from 3 point range. The Magic are a great 3 point shooting team and when they get on track things could get ugly for the Celtics. Also Dwight played particularly abysmal on offense but he was definitely Superman on D.

The Celtics Are Dirty (Not the Good Kind)

I used to think it was just Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce who were the sorry excuse for professional athletes on the Celtics squad. Now we can add Kevin Garnett to that list after the break.

FSF: NBA All Star Weekend!

This All Star Weekend has me all excited in all the right places...

Normally I don't care for anything but the dunk contest, but when the rosters were revealed for each event I become more and more interested in watching. Viewers will be lucky enough to see a bunch of bright young stars competing against each other and against some old veterans. Each event is broken down after the break.

4 Post-Supah Bawl Thoughts

Looks like the voters were right. Over 60% of the voters picked the Norlin A'ints to fight off Hurricane Manning. I enjoyed this Super Bowl greatly. This was clearly the 2 best teams in the league (unlike last year), featured good offense and good defense, and even got away without having any terrible calls by the refs. All in all, Super Bowl 44 was good clean fun. Drew Breesus showed that he indeed is the son of God or something, and he even showed that his legacy will go on in the form of his awesome child. Although the game was great the aftermath has caused a few problems that must be addressed:

Bawston is butthurt week comes full circle

Well it had to happen, but the Bawston is Butthurt week is about to end. However, it wouldn't be a special tradition if it didn't end with a bang. Peyton Manning of course delivered the goods on ending the week, just as he did on helping to start it. Now obviously the Colts did not play the Pats again, but they did play the only team with a realistic chance of beating them this season, the Ravens. No while it was a close game, and it wasn't one of Peyton's best, he did make sure that his team stayed undefeated for their 19th consecutive regular season win. Bawston fans of course were hoping to see manning-master crash and burn, however unfortunately for them he's not like a certain QB who loses in the most important games of their career (18-1). Now the only way that this week could be better would if the Jets beat the Pats in foxborough (make it happen Sanchez!).


EDIT: Awww yeah Cheifs, beating the Steelers in overtime. Just goes to show that Matt Cassell is one of the most clutch QBs in the NFL, and that Big Ben is mucho overrated. Or maybe Todd Haley's rage won Kansas City the game.

Best of the NFL Week 10

Not a whole lot happened this week. Atlanta continued it's losing streak as the Panthers re-emerged with a new game plan (don't let Delhomme throw the ball), Marice Jones Drew proved he is as smart as he is strong (unless you ask ESPN of course), the Browns still suck and of course the Pats choked when it mattered most against a Manning (kind of like a certain superbowl). Hit the jump for this week's highlights.

Food For Thought

Butthurt Bawston Week!

Hello loyal reader, thanks to the enormous amount of whining and bitching that Bawston fans have been emitting since their loss to the UNDEFEATED Indianapolis Colts we here at 18-1 have decided to declare this week Butthurt Bawston Week. That means all our posts will in some way be mocking the Bawston fandom and their douchebaggery. Look back for updates to this momentous occasion all week.
