Take a deep breath, there's more to come.

In the 3rd overtime game of series, the Boston Celtics knocked off the Chicago Bulls 106-104 on Paul Pierce's basket in the final seconds.

Brad Miller missed two free throws with 2 seconds left that would have tied the game.

Boston takes a 3-2 lead in the series which resumes in Chicago Thursday night.

Lots of chatter in the Twitterverse about the latest epic clash between these two teams:

Bulls big man Brad Miller bricked two free throws that would have tied the game with 2 seconds left. He was fouled hard by Celtics guard Rajon Rondo, and the Tweets were flying after the crazy final moments with Miller taking most of the Tweetheat:

   nicholascard Brad Miller one tough S.O.B but not the guy to take a last second shot - even if he was wide open and got slapped in the face by Rondo. 29 Apr 2009 from web

Celtics Defeat Bulls in Game 5

Prep star Schuster loses no-hit streak at 4

Mitchell (FL) High School senior Patrick Schuster, who had not given up a hit since March 24, a streak of four straight starts, finally let an opposing hitter get the best of his lengthy left arm.

Per Tampa Bay Online, Schuster gave up a double in the top of the third inning during today's Florida Class 6A-District 7 baseball semifinal, which also ended the Mitchell High Mustangs season after a winning streak of 10 games with a 9-4 loss to Gaither High School.

After gaining national attention (see New York Times) for retiring every batter faced over 28 1/3 innings during the last five games, Schuster will continue his baseball career at the University of Florida, but not before throwing out the first pitch at Tropicana Field before the Tampa Bay Rays May 3 game, per tampabay.com.

The all-time high school record for consecutive no-hitters, six, is held by Tom Engle, who is now a producer at ESPN. Perhaps that's the reason ESPNews carried a pitch-by-pitch account of Schuster's attempt to inch one game closer to history, according to the Lancaster Eagle Gazette.

ESPNews producer and current record holder, Engle, also kept a running log via Twitter on Schuster's performance:

Naked Frisbee

No pants, no frisbee.

Per Deadspin, that's the message a group of students in Oregon received from their peers.

The University of Oregon Ultimate Frisbee team had their season canceled by the student board after they played a recent match sans shirts and pants.

According the the Seattle Times, this isn't the first time the frisbee folks have ran afoul with the law. Keg parties, speeding cars, now nakedness.

The club plans on appealing to the school senate.

What is the Twitterverse saying about these streaking saucer tossers? Quite a bit, as you would imagine:

Just what is Ultimate Frisbee? Sure, this story has brought attention to the sport, but we found Tweets that have nothing to do with nudity:
