The Boston Massacre


Yeah, I’m calling it. Boston is done. Trust me; I want to tell you that we’re going to get to witness a Lakers vs. Celtics finals. But of course, I’d be lying to you. And here at sportstoilet.com, we like to give you the shit straight, no bullshit. There is a reason why the Pistons have made it to six straight Eastern Conference Finals in a row. They play as a team. And it makes sense that a group of guys playing collectively can outplay a couple of talented players recently strung together. Detroit’s team plays so well as a unit. There offense and defense so organized. Each guy knows what they are and aren’t supposed to do. They attack and defend as a whole. Their bench this year is second only to that of the Lakers; they are absolutely great, lead by Jason Maxiell and Rodney Stuckey. The Celtics on the other hand have what on paper seems as more talent. There trio of Pierce, Garnett, and Jesus Shuttlesworth a.k.a Ray Allen must be respected and feared. They also have a great promising young point guard and solid bench players. They seem to have great team chemistry for a team just recently assembled; however you can’t compare their unity to that of the Pistons. The Detroit Pistons’ leaders have been together for a lot longer. And have battled side by side at the highest level as well as tasted overall victory before. Therefore I am convinced the Pistons have this series won.
Of course it helps that Saunders is calling every play, especially when his rival is so “sub-par”. Doc Rivers is too bad a coach to now how get his team back on track. If he couldn’t get his guys to beat the wild Atlanta Hawks in Atlanta, (or the Lebrons for that matter,) what would make anyone else think he could beat the Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills? The Celtics only hope was that home court advantage in the playoffs; now that’s gone. Doc has no idea what to do right now. He has never known what to do. Even with Billups not at one hundred percent Detroits got this one in the bag… I’m so certain that the Pistons have this series won; I think Coach Saunders should make Rasheed Wallace get two technicals in the closing minutes of game 3 and get his looming suspension out of the way on game 4. This way, the Pistons don’t have to worry about the bad boy missing a game in the NBA Finals. Jason Maxiell would easily step in for Wallace and that Piston train will keep on rolling. I wouldn’t be surprised if Maxiell forced KG into a bad game. That kid can flat out ball. On behalf of sportstoilet.com I’d like to welcome the Detroit Pistons to the NBA Finals.

Mr. Kershaw, Please Stand Up


The next Sandy Koufax, the Savior of Dodger Blue, the future of MLB pitching. SportsToilet fans I would like to introduce to you Clayton Edward Kershaw. Clay is the 21 year old phenom prospect who is currently pitching for the L.A. Dodgers Double A affliate. The word on the street through several credible sources and rumblings around the MLB and in local MLB papers is that he will be called up to join the depleted L.A. Dodger pitching staff as early as the upcoming week.

Finally Dodger fans, Finally. It is about time we find out if these youngsters that the organization refused to trade in previous years is as good as advertised. Clay looks like the real deal but we don't want him to become the next Darren Dreifort. With a fastball in the mid 90's to a nasty curve in the mid 70's, this kid is the best thing to come to Chavez Ravene since Sandy Koufax. Dodger fans turn on the television and listen as Vin Scully tells his story about the kid they call Clay.
