Deshawnstevenson_medium

Having an ATM in your in kitchen is...

A) Completely unnecessary and ridiculous
B) A expensive way to avoid all those pesky surcharges
C) Far and away the most hood rich kitchen accessory of all time
D) Kinda brilliant, when you think of how convenient it'd be

The answer is all of the above, of course. DeShawn Stevenson is the best. Great outfit, too. But DeShawn got me wondering about option B, so I did a little digging.

The Celtics Technical Fouls Were Ridiculous, But Mostly Depressing

Midway through the second quarter of the Heat-Celtics Game 1, the refs just started calling technicals on everyone. Or everyone on the Celtics, to be exact. First on Ray Allen, then on Kevin Garnett, then on Doc Rivers.

This was so stupid.

Warriors Have The Yips About Their Draft Pick, Trying To Trade With Jazz

Welcome back from Memorial Day Weekend! The NBA Draft Lottery is Wednesday, and thanks to a benevolent coin flip, the Golden State Warriors have 72 percent odds of keeping their pick. In the event that a team in the No. 8 position or lower leaps into the top three, the Warriors would lose the pick to the Utah Jazz.

The Warriors do not really like those odds, and according to ESPN's Marc Stein, have engaged in trade talks with the Jazz to ensure Golden State keeps the pick. Yes, the Warriors are going to potentially give up an asset to eliminate the 1-in-4 chance they lose the No. 8 pick in the draft.

It's a brilliant decision for both sides.

Chinese Beer Company Creates Most Shaquille O'Neal Commercial Of All Time

We're all friends here. We can talk. For as much crap as Shaquille O'Neal has always gotten for all of his ill-fated and highly cheeseball endeavors, from Kazaam to "Shaq-Fu" to verses with Fu-Schnickens to being bested in one-on-one by a (probably juicing) Aaron Carter, the insanely goofball nature of Shaq is precisely why we all love him. The advertising geniuses behind a new ad for a Chinese beer company understand this. Boy, do they ever understand it.

Chris Bosh, The NBA's Most Human Star

Tom Haberstroh's superb profile of injured Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh has a lot of insight on what it is like to be Chris Bosh and injured in the playoffs, but the best quote has more to do with Bosh's reaction to Miami's loss in the 2011 NBA Finals.

"What are your dreams?" Bosh asks. "What do you want the most out of anything in this world? Dangle it in front of you, work hard as hell to get it, and then take it away. Gone."

Call Chris Bosh soft if you want. But don't say he doesn't get it.

Net Cords: Celtics And Heat, Both Sides Ready For Battle

The NBA Conference Finals got started on Sunday with a fun one in San Antonio. While it's normal for folks to get caught up in the moment, there's got to be something to the frequent comments on Twitter that Spurs-Thunder is the best playoff series in years. We'll see about that.

In the East, there's no question that defense is the name of the game. We'll be lucky if either the Boston Celtics or Miami Heat manage to score 90 points on the other. Likely, it will be less.

Our writers from Celtics Blog and Peninsula is Mightier break down the challenges each of their teams will face in this series.
