Celtics one game away...

The Celtics humiliated Orlando. 94-71 Saturday night in Boston. Can they sweep Orlando, and then do the same to the Lakers in the finals? :)

Cell Phones at School: Should They Be Allowed?

What is the biggest problem your school deals with?

This post was suggested by Rachel Walker.

Read the article (click on the link below). It gives a poll that teenagers answered as to what they think is the biggest problem facing their school today.

Celtics Control Wade, BUT...

So how about that Dwayne Wade? What about Tony Allen? Shut down! Celtics win the first game of the playoff match-up against the Miami Heat...
