Leon Powe Wants Ray Allen At ’08 Celtics Reunion: ‘We’ve Got To Get Over This’

Share this: As much as Boston Celtics fans might not want to admit it, it’s unlikely the team would have won the 2007-08 NBA Finals without Ray Allen. And one of his former teammates agrees. Former Celtics guard Rajon Rondo revealed recently that he was organizing a reunion with the team this summer, but he openly admitted Allen wasn’t invited. Rondo and Allen, in particular, didn’t get along before the shooting guard jumped ship for the Miami Heat, and the move only made things worse. But Leon Powe, who was a key member of the Celtics’ bench that season, thinks the whole issue is ridiculous. “Ray needs an invitation,” Powe said on CSNNE’s “Celtics Talk” podcast Friday. “I don’t care who says he don’t.

Matt Kenseth’s Car Hits Wall Hard During NASCAR Race At Phoenix Raceway

Matt Kenseth’s Car Hits Wall Hard During NASCAR Race At Phoenix Raceway

The track temperature at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday was a big test of tire management, which Matt Kenseth didn’t pass. Kenseth hit the wall on Lap 192 of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Camping World 500 after his front right tire failed in the middle of Turn 2. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver reportedly was complaining his car was tight throughout most of the race, and attempted to correct that by making a track-bar adjustment on his second pit stop. The problem likley caused too much wear on the front right, though, as it finally gave out once Kenseth put it under heavy load. Thumbnail photo via Jasen Vinlove/USA TODA... NESN.com

Share this: Nailed it. New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett articulated how we’ve all been feeling about the NFL this season with one simple tweet in the wee hours of Monday morning following the Green Bay Packers’ come-from-behind 27-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football.” Its a great product. The game of football that is. But myspace was once a great social media platform. Hahaha. — Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) November 29, 2016 The NFL, of course, has dealt with one of their worst ratings dips in recent memory, and have for the most part averaged fewer viewers than at any point during the past five seasons. Part of that problem could be related to oversaturation of a sport that used to rule

Dovizioso: “I decided to not go crazy!”

Andrea Dovizioso (P2): “I started quite well and Valentino didn’t, but we went for the same bit of track and I lost some positions. I decided not to push 100% then and not be crazy, because I saw Marc and Valentino had more speed than me – then after Valentino crashed I tried to push and catch Lorenzo. He didn’t seem 100% after his crash, he wasn’t riding like normal, but he was still so fast. I tried to catch him without pushing too hard and risking too much, and then I decided with five to go that I would overtake him – but he made a mistake. Then I saw on the pit board that Maverick was close and
