Kendrick Perkins: The Emergence of a Beast | The Sports Beat
https://obeese.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/kendrick-perkins-the-emergence-of-a-beast
Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. Kendrick Perkins: The Emergence of a Beast. Brooding young Celtic big man Kendrick Perkins refuses to smile even at charity events for fear that the rest of the NBA would think he’s going soft. Kendrick Perkins has a legion of fans so devoted to his ferocity on the basketball court that they formed their own website. Things have certainly changed since Dwight Howard Superman’d the dunk contest. Fortunately, with a mended foot and his old spring back, KP ap...

Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. This is a list that I will continually update of things to know to make understanding everything I write on this site a little easier. If you would like to add to this list or suggest a term be explained feel free to do so in the reply box. 8211;This hockey term is short for ‘production.’ It’s the average time spent on the ice a player takes to produce a point (a goal or an assist). Obviously then, the lower the number, the better. Enter your comment here.

The Top of the World! | The Sports Beat
https://obeese.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/the-top-of-the-world
Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. The Top of the World! 8220;This is a dream come true, and I’m going to cherish this forever.”– Captain Clutch. That’s the first word that comes to mind in summing up both the Boston Celtics’ game 6. NBA Championship clincher and the season as a whole. Boston refused to believe the alpha dog theory that has hung in the air like His Airness since MJ established himself as unbeatable. The best. Won last night. The best player lost. Just in the nick of time.

Dog Days Thoughts | The Sports Beat
https://obeese.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/dog-days-thoughts
Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. We’re starting to get to the summer dog days, maybe not for the players, but for the fans. There’s almost nothing going on right now–thank god for Euro football. So, let’s catch up on the happenings in MLBLandia now that Green 17 has come and gone. Joba in the rotation. If the Cubs or Phillies find themselves a good starter and maintain solid health come October, they should face off in the NLCS. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2...

Faith Renewed: Game 5 Features Deliverance of Prodigal Son | The Sports Beat
https://obeese.wordpress.com/2008/05/29/faith-renewed-game-5-featured-deliverance-of-prodigal-son
Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. Faith Renewed: Game 5 Features Deliverance of Prodigal Son. On Wednesday night the Jumbotron wasn’t necessary. In a throwback to an age when the crowd knew how to spur its hometown team on to victory without graphic instructions, Wednesday night’s game five victory over the Pistons demonstrated what it truly means to enter the Garden. And after a postseason of futility, he once again failed, this time to play like the scared, ineffective legend on his last...

Pierce’s Maturity and Awareness Power Win Over Rockets | The Sports Beat
https://obeese.wordpress.com/2008/01/03/pierces-maturity-and-awareness-power-win-over-rockets
Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. Pierce’s Maturity and Awareness Power Win Over Rockets. Paul Pierce’s maturation from a young gunslinger to a savvy veteran bodes well for the title aspirations of the Boston Celtics. While KG’s intensity fuels the locamotive that the Boston Celtics have become, it’s the unselfishness of Paul Pierce that allows the team to succeed, or conversely, his superman complex that will derail the Celtic train. It appears our part-time superman, part-time emotional ...

https://obeese.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/leon-powe-the-show-any-critic-would-love
Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. Leon Powe: “The Show” Any Critic Would Love. After the recent birth of his first child, Leon Powe III, #0 has played as angry as he is proud. If you’ve listened to a single Celtics broadcast this season or read anything about Leon Powe. In the papers or blogosphere, you already know he’s a great guy. But, did you know he’s actually not a bad player. It’s a cliche, but it matters. Leon Powe gives well over 100%. Adversity is his bitch. After all. Player...

The Green Resurrection: How the Idiot GM Became a Savior | The Sports Beat

Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. The Green Resurrection: How the Idiot GM Became a Savior. It looks like Red passed on the luck of the Irish to Danny; it just took a little while to surface. Danny Ainge was an idiot. Now he’s a savant. So how did the failing protector of the shamrock elude the firing squad and become both the savior of the Celtics and the toast of Beantown? For the real answer, we look no further than the draft. Critics said they gave away talent in the trade, gambling on...

The Arrival of Captain Clutch | The Sports Beat
https://obeese.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/the-arrival-of-captain-clutch
Spanning the Sports Spectrum in a Timely Manner. The Arrival of Captain Clutch. After last night Celtic faithful have something to proud of, regardless of the ultimate result of the NBA Finals. It was certain. Until Pierce pulled out his best Willis Reed impression, the one every athlete dreams about in the dark, in time to lead his team to an essential game one victory. In an attempt to understand Pierce’s place on his 79-win (and counting) squad you must look first at Boston’s roster. N...For each posi...
