DALLAS - If the Dallas Mavericks ever figure out the third quarter, they might be on to something in their quest to rejoin the elite in the Western Conference. Black Air VaporMax China .Until then, theyll be dealing with some frayed nerves.Chandler Parsons scored 29 points, including a key 3-pointer to help Dallas hang on after going up by 30 before halftime for the second time in two home games, and the Mavericks beat the Boston Celtics 118-113 Monday night.Its concerning, said Parsons, who also won a key jumpball with Boston within three in the final minute after trailing by 31 in the second quarter. I love how we never give up after we give up the lead. But we cant allow these teams to keep coming back in and cutting the lead.Jeff Green led the Celtics with 35, and Avery Bradley had a career-high 32 but missed one of three free throws with a chance to tie with 39 seconds left after getting fouled on a 3-pointer by Monta Ellis.We shot ourselves in the foot in the first half the last two games, said Green, whose team trailed Houston by 19 at halftime in a loss Saturday. By the end we were out of gas. We cant allow teams to be the aggressor the first 12 minutes. Thats what happens.Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 for the Mavericks, who shot 73 per cent in the first quarter and had at least 66 points at halftime for the third straight game, all wins since a season-opening loss at San Antonio.But Dallas cooled off and couldnt shake Boston the way it did Utah after going up by 30 before halftime and losing more than half the lead in an 18-point win in the home opener.The Mavericks have been outscored in the third quarter of all four games, three times by double digits. New Orleans scored 37 while wiping out most of a 17-point deficit on Saturday. The Celtics hit eight of their first nine shots in a 38-point third quarter.To continue getting the leads, that would be great, Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. If we can keep doing that, we will deal with the other stuff. We will get it solved.Parsons had a 3-pointer and an easy layup after a turnover to push Dallas lead to 114-104 before the Celtics scored seven quick points to get close again in the final minute.After Bradley missed the second of three free throws with a chance to tie, Ellis put Dallas back up by three at 116-113 with a driving layup.The Celtics had another chance to get even when Green missed a 3 with 20 seconds left, and Parsons won the tip with Jared Sullinger after they ended up in a jump ball following a mad scramble on the floor.SMARTS HOMECOMINGThe first time Boston cut its 31-point deficit to 3 in the fourth quarter, it came on a 3-pointer by rookie first-round pick Marcus Smart, who played at a Dallas-area high school and had quite a cheering section for his first pro game close to home. Several dozen students from Marcus High School in nearby Flower Mound wore T-shirts that read, We Are 4 Marcus, with his No. 36 inside a shamrock.Some of the guys played on the JV team when I was on the varsity. It makes me feel old, said the 20-year-old Smart, who got a loud ovation when he came into the game and finished with seven points, six rebounds and three assists.TIP-INSCeltics: Boston was 11 of 31 from 3-point range after making just 1 of 25 from beyond the arc in Houston. Bradley was 4 of 6 and Green was 5 of 12. ... Rajon Rondo had team highs with 15 assists and nine rebounds. ... Bradley scored 14 points in the fourth quarter.Mavericks: Tyson Chandler had his first double-double since returning to Dallas with 10 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. ... Parsons and Nowitzki combined to go 8 of 9 on 3-pointers. ... Forward Al-Farouq Aminu left the game in the second quarter with a left knee injury. Carlisle said he didnt think the injury was serious.UP NEXTCeltics: Return home to face Toronto on Wednesday after a two-game Texas swing opened the road schedule.Mavericks: Get two days off before their first back-to-back on the road at Portland and Utah. Red Air VaporMax China Online . Berkman almost left the game last off-season before signing with the Texas Rangers. He then had another injury-plagued season and was limited to 73 games. Grey Air VaporMax China 2019 . The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the league hasnt announced the award. Crawford was the Clippers third-leading scorer and the NBAs top-scoring reserve with 18. http://www.cheapairvapormaxchina.us/ . Hoffman, the former star closer, will evaluate and help co-ordinate all pitchers at Double-A, Triple-A and the big league team. Byrnes says Hoffman "will be a key part of finishing the development of our younger pitchers.Richard RiotOn March 13th, 1955 Maurice "Rocket" Richard was high-sticked in the face and cut for five stitches by Bruins defenceman Hal Laycoe. In the ensuing melee, Richard smashed Laycoe in the face with his stick, knocked out a linesman, and narrowly avoided being arrested by the Boston police. Or whats known in NHL circles as "hockey." Commissioner Clarence Campbell suspended Richard for the duration of the season and playoffs, which enraged the entitled Canadiens fan base. When Campbell attended the next Habs home game, the fans pelted him with eggs, vegetables, and other inexplicably handy detritus. A tear gas bomb was set off in the Forum to diffuse the situation, and the building was evacuated. What followed was a riot that engulfed the neighbourhood around the Forum, injuring over 40 policemen and civilians, resulting in $500000 ($4.5 million in 2014 dollars) in damages and dozens of arrests. The chaos lasted until 3am, interestingly also closing time for Montreal bars. The riot has taken on a mythology typical of Quebecs relationship with hockey. Many cite the Anglophone suspension of a Francophone player as a contributing factor in the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. Others simply argue it gives Montrealers an excuse to set fire to stuff after hockey games. Ken Dryden Ken Dryden was drafted 14th overall in 1964 by the Bruins. Later in the day, he was traded to the Habs with Alex Campbell for Paul Reid and Guy Allen. Campbell, Reid, and Allen eventually combined to play zero NHL games, while Dryden would go on to get a BA from Cornell, win six Stanley Cups, get a law degree from McGill, win five Vezinas and a Conn Smythe, write a best-selling book, and be generally considered the best goalie of his generation while contributing to the Habs dominance over the Bruins and the league during that era. So lopsided was the trade that Dryden was unaware of it until the mid-70s. Reid didnt find out until 2002, and that discovery was predicated on the invention of the Internet. Too Many MenThe Bruins-Habs rivalry would reach its heights the 1970s, making it the most enduring and compelling matchup in sports, and creating the template for the hate that exists between the two teams today. Bobby Orr, arguably the best player of his generation, led the Bruins of the era while the Habs were the epitome of what a franchise should be, the crown jewel of the league led by coach Scotty Bowman. No moment would better represent the rivalry than the infamous too many men penalty taken by the Bruins in the 1979 semi-finals. Don Cherry, coaching the Bruins, could never quite get past his counterpart Bowmans Habs, having lost in the finals in 77 and 78. During seventh and deciding game, and having just taken the lead on a Rick Middleton goal, the Bruins were assessed a too many men on the ice penalty. Guy Lafleur would tie the game on the ensuing power play and Yvon Lambert would score in OT to send the Bruins home. Cherry would ultimately lose his job, and eventually end up on Hockey Night in Canada where he would perpetuate the rivalry with his Boston bias, intense hatred of the Habs, and inability to pronounce Francophone surnames. The Canadiens would go on to sweep the Rangers in the Cup final. Though the rivalry would continue, the 80s and 90s were marked mostly with brawls and only two Cups for the Habs.PedroThe Boston-Montreal rivalry extends beyond hockey, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the Pedro Martinez trade from the Montreal Expos to the Boston Red Sox in 1997, which would ultimately signal the end of days for the Expos. Montreal, having already endured the nightmare of a cancelled 1994 season where they were the most dominant team in baseball, and the sell-off or loss of players such as Larry Walker, Marquis Grissom, and Ken Hill, were struggling to maintain relevancy and a fan base. General manager Dan Duqueette (the architect of the 94 team) and a native Massachusite, left to become GM of the Red Sox in 1994, and three years later robbed his former team in acquiring Martinez, the premiere pitcher of his generation and in his prime, for Carl Pavano, Tony Armas Jr. Wholesale Air VaporMax China. , and a box of Kleenex. Martinez would go on to be a Sox mainstay and win a World Series in 2004, the same year the Spos left Montreal for Washington. BrosThe drinking age in Massachusetts is 21. The drinking age in Montreal is 18. Kind of. I mean, if you can make your way to a bar in Montreal, youre going to get served. Babies can be seen in sipping from shot glasses. Sweet 16s are held in bars. Its a fun city, the bars are open late, and there are strip clubs everywhere. There are 58 post-secondary institutions in the Boston area. Its a six-hour drive from Boston to Montreal. A forty dollar bus trip. The result? A wealth of bros infiltrating Montreal, a city they hate, to indulge in the citys offerings. Summer nights are marred by puking frat boys, eight to a hotel room, loitering Crescent Street, hitting on unimpressed locals, polluting the air with Boston slang and unearned bravado.So many tucked-in golf shirts. So many Red Sox hats. So many goatees. So many pre-ripped jeans. So many gold crosses on necklaces. So many diamond studs. Its like an Abercrombie ad got a Coors Light ad pregnant at Maroon 5 concert at Fenway and gave birth to an army of bros. Montrealers hate it, yet endure it. It fuels the fire.The Pacioretty Incident and the 2011 Playoffs On March 8th, 2011, while skating down the boards, Habs winger Max Pacioretty was checked into the metal upright that ends the glass by Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara. The hit, even to the most strident of Bruins supporters, could at best be called gruesome. Pacioretty suffered a severe concussion and a fractured vertebra. Chara received no supplemental discipline, leading to Habs fan outrage and a Montreal police investigation. [Sidebar: You know you have a good rivalry when the police get involved on a regular basis.] Bruins winger Mark Recchi (a former Canadien) openly questioned the severity of Paciorettys injury, despite Recchis inability to complete medical school. The incident provided additional animus for the first round playoff meeting between the teams. Recchi, still not a medical professional, did not relent in his comments. The series went a thrilling seven games, with the Habs P.K. Subban tying game seven late and forcing overtime. Early in OT, the Bruins Nathan Horton scored to win the series. Boston would go on to win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1972, devastating Habs fans.Pacioretty would recover to become the Habs most prolific goal scorer in twenty years. Mark Recchi would retire after the Cup win, and as of yet is still not a licensed practitioner of medicine.P.K. SubbanHabs and Bruins fans like nothing more (other than victories and Cups) than booing each others players. No more has this been more evident in the current incarnation of the rivalry than in the Bruins disaffection for Habs defenceman Pernell Karl Subban. It seems to be more venomous and vitriolic than hatred of the past, more angry and intense than the booing that Subban gets in nearly every other arena he visits, except the Bell Centre. Id like to write that it isnt racism, but its totally racism. Is my argument anecdotal and biased? Yes, yes it is. But anecdote and bias are the backbone of sports journalism, so Im going to argue that the most contentious of entities in the contemporary Boston-Montreal rivalry is Bruins fans intense and racially motivated hatred of the most dynamic defenceman to lace up Bauers since, well, Bobby Orr. The series will be a bloodbath, no doubt, and add to the legacy of its legend. Boston fans: Please direct your hatred to @mdspry on Twitter. Habs fans: Dont set fire to stuff.
