Celtics lose in triple-overtime to the Bulls, 128-127, in the sixth game of a history-making playoff series. Final game 7 at 8 pm Saturday in Boston.

Stephon Marbury, formerly of the New York Knicks, announced today that he will be joining the Celtics as soon as tomorrow. Will Garnett and the others be able to mold him into a team-motivated role player behind Rondo at Point Guard? Boston teams seem to have a knack for getting "trouble players" in line for the betterment of the team as a whole. If nothing else, the end of the season should be very interesting to follow.

The Survivor.

Mike Bibby of the Atlanta Hawks called out Boston fans before practice at the Garden. He said the crowd at the first playoff game between the Celtics and Hawks were "fair weather" and only loud at the beginning of the game.

David Scott has the deets on the sportsy cat fight, which so far actually seems limited to Ryan howling about Bill Simmons and Simmons just sitting there, not saying a thing (Media Farm wonders if it's all just a ploy by Ryan to make himself relevant again - hmm, isn't that Shaughnessy's thing, you know, pick a fight for no particular reason?). The alleged central issue: Whether the Celtics should fire Doc Rivers as coach.
