Celtics just did a chilling tribute to Red.

Beautiful and sad stuff.

War Celtics.

I wish I could have seen that. Hopefully it ends up on youtube

The Boston City Police came in and did "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes and Pierce said a few words.



Sadly, the C's are like 0 for their first 7. They look very tight. Almost like they're pushing too much for red.

War Sixers.. (sike)!

Philly; odds are our teams are gonna be pretty awful.... Maybe one of us can score Odum (did I spell that right?). Whatever his name is that's going to Ohio.

Bynum comes in with 18 points and 9 rebounds. Odom scores 34, and the Lakers beat the Suns 114-106 with Kobe out.

Championship.

You're right Narrator.... That dude is big too.... I wonder if he'll be the black Shawn Bradley???????

Boston has a good point guard.... (Talifar) On paper, the Celts have a good squad!

I'm gaurdedly optimistic about the team.

Pierce is Pierce. Dude is a great player, one of the best scorers in the league and I think he's going to have another great year.

I really like Rondo more than Telfair. I think he's going to be great. Part of me thinks Telfair is too much scorer and not enough distributer.

Perkins and Jefferson could be ok. I think Big Al needs to develop more of a mean streak.

Gomes is a solid guy too.

So, no, they're not as bad as I said but they ain't playin well tonight.

I still can't believe the Sixers drafted Larry Hughes over Paul Pierce!!!!!!!!!!!! That dude Gerald Green has crazy bunny ups! He can jump!!!!

Shheeeeittt. I forgot all about Green. Hopefully we can find some solid minutes for him. Kid can definately jump outta the gym.

Gerlad Green Celts Summer league!

& this.........................

all i got to say is i'm looking foward to jj reddick failing this season and the heat got their asses whopped last nite.... i am a 1st class hater of any team shaq is a part of.... how does chicago go from blowing out miami by 42 to losing by 16 to the magic at the moment?

I'm not sold on that kid from Ohio State yet--Greg Oden. A lot of hoops analysts love him, saying he's the next Bill Russell (?!). I seen him play in the McDonalds game and he didn't impress me at all. Kinda slow, and not really a force inside. I'm gonna have to take a closer look at him against better comp. Tim Duncan didn't look like an All-NBA 1st teamer in college either.

WAR CLIPPERS!

dog i said that on the old boards.. he had better be glad stern isn't allowing kids in the league anymore cuz this kid is azz.. he's 7'2" in high school and isn't even dominating... he looks like he's mentally slow(not trynna be funny or diss him btw) and he's slow as molasses in the winter on the court... he has some nice teammates at OSU so they are gonna make some noise, but that dude is seriously overhyped in my opinion...

I thoght he went to Ohio University not OSU?

yeah i remember we were both shitting on the youngster in my mcdonalds thread. but i'll give him a chance, maybe everyone else on the court was trying to show off too much, and he just let them. i'll really form an opinion during march madness.

on a sidenote, the new nba.com website is dope. they got real-time gametrackers with play-by-play and stats now. peemp.

He'as at State, Oar.

War PACERS.. fcuk the Celts/

Pacers suck bich!

They have one good thing about them and it's Larry Bird. Other than him it's a crazy ass Steven Jackson brandishing a gun all about the arena.

no matter what jackson does off the court, when he's on it, he comes to play and contributes to every team he's on.. ask the spurs...

He may play well but I wouldn't want him on my team.

I'd take a guy like Artest over him ALL DAY.

i think he's a great teammate... of course i'd want artest over him cuz artest is better...

From Wikipedia.com
Tim Duncan was a two-time ACC Player of the Year with the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons.
Duncan was an All-American at Wake Forest, where he finished with honors in psychology. Duncan won the 1997 John Wooden Award as the NCAA's best overall male player based on the votes of sportscasters and newswriters. In that season, Duncan averaged 20.8 points per game and 14.7 rebounds per game. Duncan finished his college career as the leading shot blocker in NCAA history, and he is one of only 10 players with more than 2,000 career points and 1,500 career rebounds. He was also the first player in NCAA history to reach 1,500 points, 1,000 rebounds, 400 blocked shots and 200 assists.

I dunno man. I know it may not matter too much but he just doesn't seem like a good character guy. He's gonna do something stupid off the court every year and I wouldn't want any young guys on my team near him.

I'm not denying he produces on the court but IMO you have to look at the full package.


Also, Pierce is fucking awesome. He is willing the Celtics back in this game. 85-82 with 3:45 left.

Pierce is at 18 boards right now.

duncan was dominant in college. Everyone knew he was gonna pan out man

Camby and UMass beat him

But for real it was because Wake had an inferior team with Duncan as the staple. 1 guy can get you far in college (see: Bird, Duncan, etc...) but they can't bring you all the way.

Oar i actually like that 2nd year Celt. Can't remember his name.. Kid got some serious hops.

So can Darius Miles...look where he's at now....



Why do you hate Shaq so much??? Cause he's lazy???

Ummm... OK? I didn't say he was some incredible player. Just that he could leap.

C's ended up losing by 4. Missed faaaar too many FTs. Even Pierce who is usually money from the line sucked there tonight. He ended up with 29 and 19 though.

Im just saying being a great leaper means jiggedy jack....

OJ Mayo (USC Bound #1 recruit) >>>>>> Greg Oden

Bill Walker as well.

hey xxmike, for the record, duncan was not the man at wake forrest when he first go there.... randolph childress was running shit... in 95 they got put out of the tournament by big country(brian reeves.. remember him?) and his team.... he didn't start to dominate til childress left... and yes camby got in his azz when they played in college... camby was the best player in college bball that year(minus getting posterized by iverson in the elite 8)

and the washington wizards are azz... u would think after lebron kept sneaking past them on the baseline for clutch layups they would improve on defense and the same shit happened tonight.. they are azz...

What the fuck happened to Eddie Curry, dude gained like 90 pounds in the off season. What a soft slob, someone get that son of a bitch on a treadmill.

98-99 in OT with 20 seconds left. Im sure the Knicks won't deny me the age old tradition of choking in the final seconds.

Who they playing Ice?

Memphis

Lee with a put back, 100-99 Knicks.

19 seconds left.

Lee can play. He'll be good if he gets minutes.

yeah i'm watcihgn with 4.9 left

Yeah, yeah. I knew he'd be good. Didn't know he'd be perennial All-NBA 1st Team. The fucker looked kinda soft to me in college. Turns out his fundamentals won out. Excuse the fuck out of me. Not every college superstar ends up a career all-star.

the knicks are still garbage.. atkins is killing robinson and for some reason isiah keeps him out there guarding him... they let the grisleys grab 3 straight off boards... they had the ball for over a minute and some change

is the zeke watch on? i think he will make it out of 06...

great game..looks like the jailbirds sneak one out on the road(sonics blew a late lead)

clippers are hangin tough with suns....gotta love walton...FEED THE BIG MAN!!!!

nba league pass is the shitttts..

sixers over hawks...1-0...

Here you go Casper!

Gerlad Green @ Celts Summer league.

& this.........................

i know isiah is a turd but something tells me the knicks will actually surprise a lot of people this year falling just short of the playoffs. theyve got pretty good players and theyre out to prove that larry brown was the problem last year and not the players.

lakers are decent w/out kobe, odom can do his thing and they play better as a team. if kobes knee is worse than advertised, he might be forced to play a team game which can only help the lakers.

watch out for the raptors by mid-season, they're the phoenix suns of the east.

why the fock are the celts getting younger every year when they need proven players to surround paul pierce. make up yer mind danny boy!

sort of saw the tribute to red on ESPN, but missed most of it...
same ole sheed...lol..maybe the pistons will miss him..

lakeshow 2-0...maybe they dont need kobe

pistons are not gonna do good this year.. the refs aren't taking any shit this season and sheed may get ejected from at least 30 games...

damn the warriors suck. every year it's the same shit. warriors suck, then i pay my income taxes.

donnie had them running the fast break all right, but hey! no one went and got the fucking rebound. fucking embarrassing. 3 times i noticed a lakers missed shot went up, and ALL FIVE warrior assholes started jetting down the court.

Ya jackass. We can send a local girls volleyball team to whoop on any Bay area pro team.

How much does anyone want to bet Kobe fucks up the chemistry this team is having?

I hit a three team parlay last night.

Indiana,Phoenix & Milwaukee. And had the Wizards straight. I once lost 11 straight NBA games, so that was a historic evening for me.

Tonight I got teh Spurs & Nuggets.

Damn dude. You bet on basketball too? I hate betting on basketball. Final FOur is fun and sometimes predictable. NBA is wack for wagering.

Not usually. I have been hot so I dropped $50 on the parlay & the straight bet. WVU big tonight dawg. Hit me up Saturday if you want to bet some horses.

what do u expect? they're wit don nelson.. so they will be playing even less defense than they did last year(which was none)....
