I'm pretty sure every game will be available on NESN, and I don't know what Versus will do. Versus is crazy.

CHICAGO LEARNS THAT THE TRUTH HURTS


Paul Pierce spent most of the game an abstract on defense and a ghost on offense. He turned it on in the 4th quarter. After ticky-tacky fouls forced Ray Allen out of the game (Heinsohn's cardiologist must have been on call after that), Pierce needed to step up, and he did.

But Rajon Rondo was the star. Another double-double, another 28 points. And when did Glen Davis get this good? He had 21, which is good because the bench only contributed 5 points.

The C's were down and out in the 4th, and finally, FINALLY, they showed that killer instinct. Like a snake cornered, they bit fast and hard. They attacked the Bulls, and now they go back to Chicago with a chance to end the series.

Game 6 is Tuesday night, and I think the Celtics are going to get up by 20 at halftime, and finish the Bulls off with relative ease.

BRUINS TO FACE HURRICANES/WHALERS


The series will begin Friday in Boston. The Bruins were 4-0 against the Hurricanes this season. The teams have met 4 times in the playoffs (including the years the Canes were the Whalers), and the Bruins were victorious in all 4 series.

Full preview to come.

J-LO DROPS THE BALL, STREAK ENDS

A wild game in Cleveland was literally dropped by Javier Lopez on a routine 3-1 groundout. The Sox forfeited the lead 3 times in this 9-8, 4 hour, 20 minute baseball bloodbath.

Poor defense, a horrible start from Penny, three leads blown, the Red Sox were fortunate to even be in this game.

The Man of the Game:
Ben Francisco. He went 2 for 4, with a homer and 3 RBI.

The Bitch-Goat:
Brad Penny: 0.8
Takashi Saito: 0.1
Javier Lopez: 0.1

Jon Lester vs. 1-3 Fausto Carmona Wednesday night in the rubber game.
