My morsels for today:
NBA: It looks like the Boston Celtics have run out of gas. They were shellacked 117-96 Friday night by the Orlando Magic and fell behind 2-1 in the Eastern Conference semifinal series. The Celtics are not the same team without Kevin Garnett in the middle, and the long series with the Chicago Bulls has taken a huge toll. If the Magic make it to the conference finals, it would be the first time since Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway led them there in 1996.
NHL: Another Boston team is in in bigger trouble than the Celtics. The Bruins have slipped behind the upstart Carolina Hurricane 3-1 in the East Division semifinals. I couldn’t agree more with Bruins coach Claude Julien, who said after the Bruins’ 4-1 loss Friday night to Carolina than his team couldn’t have picked a more inopportune time to play its worst hockey of the season. Here’s a warning to Bruins fans. Don’t read on. OK, here goes. The Bruins are 0-21 in franchise history when they have trailed 3-1 in a series.
MLB: The injuries are piling up for the Chicago Cubs. The latest casualty is Aramis Ramirez, who dislocated his left shoulder early in a 3-2 loss Friday night to the Milwaukee Brewers. Ramirez suffered the same injury when he was with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2000, and he missed six weeks. Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano remains out with a hamstring injury.
See you Saturday!
