When will people learn that you never want to talk trash about a player on the opposing team? True, most of the time it doesn't matter, but the one time a player takes it to heart and uses it for motivation...

That's exactly what Kevin Garnett did Thursday night after the owner of the Atlanta Hawks referred to KG as the dirtiest player in the league. Garnett scored 28 points and pulled down 14 rebounds to help lead the Celtics to a 83-80 win over the Hawks. The victory also gave them the win for the series, 4-2.

At one point during this strike shortened season it appeared as if the Boston Celtics were finally playing like the old guys everyone was calling them. By season's end however they proved that in their case age translates to skill as they won their division and earned the No 4 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Now these old guys will be facing off against the No 8 Philadelphia 76ers. Call it a hunch, but I bet the Celtics owner is real glad he didn't trade anyone after all.

NBA Playoffs Roundup – Three Teams Survive, Magic Eliminated

It was a pretty full schedule in the NBA Playoffs last night, and all four games had the potential to be series enders. Only one team couldn't stay alive, as the Orlando Magic's tumultuous season mercifully came to an end.

Indiana 105 - Orlando 87

After a surprising win in game one, Orlando managed to lose the next four and see their ugly season finally come to an end. Indiana, led by Danny Granger with 25 points, won their first playoff series since 2005. Orlando, who had a roller coaster ride of a season, probably couldn't have won this series even with injured center Dwight Howard, who was out after back surgery. Indiana now waits for Miami to finish off New York. 3 More Game Recaps »

With a little more than a minute left to go it was a little early to celebrate, but when you're feeling it sometimes you just have to go with it--like Boston Celtic Paul Pierce did Tuesday in Game Two of their best of seven series with the Atlanta Hawks.

Perhaps it wasn't so much of a celebration, but a show of joy that when you come to together as a team you can overcome adversity (like losing Rajon Rondo for a game) and still play quality basketball. Pierce ended up leading the way (36 points, 14 rebounds) to a 87-80 win for the Celtics.

Or maybe he was just celebrating. Whatever the reason, it looked pretty darn cool.
