Paul Pierce is Still Angry that Ray Allen Left the Boston Celtics for the Miami Heat
Each side needs to have its villains and heroes. For the Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat are the enemy, the team that poached away not just the title of most dominant team in the East, but also one of their best players in Ray Allen, who wanted to leave for less money because of the title prospects, and because of Doc Rivers picking Rajon Rondo over him. Paul Pierce, if you’re surprised or not, is still angry with him.

The Los Angeles Lakers as a Game of Thrones Like Drama
The most interesting take on this weird and probably disappointing season for the Los Angeles Lakers comes from redditor frekkld, who translated the 2012-2013 season into a synopsis of a Shakespearean tragedy, but the tales of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Mike D’Antoni seems to be more fitting to the world created by GRRM in A Song of Ice and Fire, or as most people know it, Game of Thrones.

Los Angeles Clippers & The Most Important Win of the Season
We didn’t see anything special from Chris Paul or Blake Griffin, yet the Los Angeles Clippers looked quite pleased walking off the court in a game that proved once again that this team has the right mix of players, stars and bench guys to make this season the greatest in the history of the franchise, even if it means that winning basketball isn’t going to be as flashy as we’ve gotten used to seeing from them on certain nights.

Boston Celtics – Kevin Garnett & Paul Pierce Earn Late Rest
Resting Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett before the NBA playoffs begin seems to be a must for Doc Rivers, and by finally clinching the 7th spot in the Eastern conference, he ensured he can give them minimal time on the court for the final two games of the season, while hoping it doesn’t throw them too much out of rhythm.

Los Angeles Lakers – Getting Help From the NBA to Make the Playoffs
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. The Los Angeles Lakers have been getting a lot of help from officials, or at least is seems that way, to make up for lost ground in the NBA playoff race, currently leaving the Utah Jazz behind for the 8th and final ticket.
