Chose Your Own SWAGs

by Jeff Clark on Mar 23, 2009 9:03 AM EDT in Boston Celtics Articles

One of my favorite gimmick columns is one I call SWAGs (Silly Wild Amusing Guesses). I'll work on some in the next couple of days but I wanted to give you guys an opportunity to come up with your own. Go in whatever direction you want. They can be silly, creative, or just a straightforward guess of what you think will happen.

Here's an example: The Celtics will fall to the 3rd seed and then proceed to win every road game and lose every home game (excpet one in the first round) on their way to repeating as NBA champs.

Can you do better? Look into your crystal balls and come up with something to share with the class.

The NBA will abandon its quest for the ultimate ratings and will allow Comcast SportsNet and Mike and Tommy to broadcast the NBA Finals this year.

Dr. Cassell to the rescue

Sam Cassell back on the bench to coach for playoff run. Teaches Marbury how to score and not turn over the ball.

1) At some point in the playoffs, Mikki Moore will be called for fouling another Celtic player.

2) After a hard-fought game 7 loss to the Celtics (in which he shot 5-for-17) LeBron James will be interviewed. He will be smiling and talking about how great it is that he gets to go on to the NBA Finals. No matter what anyone tells him, he will be unable to believe that he is not going to the Finals.

3) In the first game of the NBA Finals in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant, still smarting after being outplayed and upstaged by Pierce last year, will fake an injury and be wheeled off the court on a stretcher. “Stretcher beats wheelchair,” he will think to himself. Meanwhile, while he is out, his team will fall behind by 30 points and will be unable to regain the lead when he comes back. Game 1 to the Cs.

4) After Glen Davis explodes for 22-and-8 in a game 2 victory, Phil Jackson will find some way to mispronounce his last name.

Sexy Scottish and I will be the first fans in NBA history to get hit with Technical Fouls for berating the referees.

Boston Celtics - 2008 World Champions

With about a minute to go in the 5th overtime in game 7 of the East Finals Pierce will foul out leaving only 4 active players who didn’t. After a long time out the refs agree to allow Doc to come off the bench in which he dishes out a game winning ally-oop pass to Walker to lead us to the finals…or so we thought. Lebron then starts complaining to the refs that doc crab-dribbled, they take another look at the play and take away the basket giving the win to the Cavs.

With 5 minutes left in game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals with Boston leading by 5, Rajon Rondo picks up his 6th foul trying to poke the ball away from Mo Williams. Enter Stephon “Starbury” Marbury, who proceeds to squeeze 10 missed shots, 5 turnovers, and 3 fouls into the final 5 minutes as Cleveland surges to victory. After the game, as Eddie House glares at Marbury, Marbury retorts, “Eddie, you’re a bum. You’re nothing. You’re caught up in basketball. Get caught up in life.”

As it was, so it shall be

Q. I think it was about two years ago I think I asked you about the Celtics‑Lakers thing. You said you’ve only seen it on TV. Now you’ve been through it twice. Can you talk about what it is like, just the Boston‑LA thing and playing the Celtics in the championship.

KOBE BRYANT: It STILL sucks.
