the knicks are playing real bad.....so bad that jalen rose couldn't even inbound the ball with like 5 seconds left and it cost the knicks the game. they are bad and their gm is even worse.

[jsinger121]

Jsinger, you need to give it up. Your posts make little to no sense right now and even if I can make out what you are trying to say it is still stupid.

 

Do you even understand the lottery? You don't have to be a terrible team to get the number 1 pick, it's not like football. It's a random drawing of the 14 teams not in the playoffs.

 

How about the Celtics try to win, and if they get into the playoffs, great, it's good experience for the young guys. If they don't, THEN you can start thinking about draft picks. Besides, when you get into the playoffs, it's like a whole new season.

 

i know how the lottery works....the celts got screwed in 1997 when they had two chances to win the lottery and ended up with the 3rd and 6th picks. they had 15 wins that year. the worse a team is the more ping pong balls you get so being like the 10th-13th worse team gives the celtics little to no shot of being in the top 3.

So? Thats ONE thing. ONE time messed up inbounding the ball. Seriously dude, you need to cut the f***ing mularkey and learn a thing or two about basketball if you are going to post about it, because you are making yourself look like a HUGE tard right now.

Jalen Rose not being able to inbound the ball has nothing to do with the team sucking. Jalen's been on the team for like a week so you can't really blame him for the Knicks' sucktitude yet.

all i know is if the celtics make the playoffs i will be pissed....im not going to sit there and watch them get pasted by the pistons when they should be a lottery team.

Wow.

Haha, they wont make it, thats what I have been saying all a long. God f***ing damn son. If you could comprehend what I have been saying all along you would know that I've said they wont make the playoffs, and getting some experience winning games would do nothing but help this team, and it would help a hell of a lot more than 1-2 draft spots at this point.

[jsinger121]

i want just enough ping pong balls where they maybe have a chance at morrison. maybe be the 5th or 6th worst team in the league. hey the spurs were not the worst in 1997 when they won the lottery.

They won't make the playoffs I don't think you need to worry about that. But if I were a Celtics fan I would not openly root for them to lose. This team as constructed right now and the uncertainties of the injuries to Perkins and Jefferson and already being 4.5 games out of a playoff spot has little to no chance of making the playoffs.

[YanksHater213]

Just stop now, man. You obviously are doing nothing to show that you know a thing about basketball. At least backup your s***** and baseless opinions with some facts if you want people to take you seriously.

 

First you said the Celtics should lose all the games they can so they can get the worst team in the league and get Morrison, now you want them to get just enough losses to get 5th or 6th, which it is. Im having a hard time with this, I dont know about anyone else though.

[jsinger121]

anyone know if scalabrine was the idiot that injured perkins in practice?

Switching the subjet I see. Just leave this thread, please. No one really cares about the input you have.

[Manny Goes Boom]

OH wow. OK, losing solves nothing, especially with a young team that already has potential. (Granted I don't know the Celtics situation like YH does but I get the drift enough). With guys like Gerald Green and that big ass PF they have (I forgot his name, Jefferson isn't it?) they don't really need to continue to look for outstanding draft talent. They have theirselves nice players who are on the rise (Delonte too but he's, IMO, a more proven guy than the other two, but like I said I'm not on the ball with the Celts like YH). Losing, like the Cavs did to get LeBron is one thing, but they got lucky, and it paid off. But its a gamble, and it could very much so backfire (See Darko Milicic ).

 

And so what if the Celts make the playoffs...playoff experience regardless of how your team does is nothing but helpful. (See 2002-2003 Phoenix Suns, Amare's rookie year) Winning solves EVERYTHING. And it helps players confidence, and it grooms the young guys. (See Amare's growth when we won 62 games) Losing kills guys confidence and can cause many problems down the road.

 

EDIT: And on the LeBron thing...I don't see a guy like him in this years draft. He's one of a kind.

Jesus, so few people besides me on this forum that know a thing or two about basketball. See Red, MGB, stocker, Moose. Thats about it.

 

Gotta give some props to ScalabrineFan44.

Sonics trade Radmanovic to Clippers

 

2/14/2006, 6:51 p.m. ET

By TIM BOOTH

The Associated Press

 

SEATTLE (AP) ??” The Seattle SuperSonics traded Vladimir Radmanovic to the Los Angeles Clippers for Chris Wilcox on Tuesday in a swap of 6-foot-10 forwards.

 

Radmanovic, a free agent after the season, has struggled for the past month despite being put in the starting lineup after new coach Bob Hill took over Jan. 3. Since Jan. 11, Radmanovic has scored in double figures only four times in 13 games, and recently was benched in favor of forward Nick Collison.

 

Radmanovic, who turned down a $42 million, six-year deal with the Sonics before the season and signed a one-year tender instead, is averaging 9.3 points ??” down from 11.8 last season. Because he signed a one-year tender, Radmanovic had the right to block the trade.

[stocker323]

Rumor has it that the Darko experiment is over in Detroit.

 

Proposed trade is Darko and Carlos Arroyo to Orlando for Kelvin Cato and a 1st rounder. Only thing holding it up is the lottery protection of the 1st rounder.

f*** dude. Radmonovic on the Clipps, watch him light s*** up.

 

OH, and that Darko trades a joke, who the hell would want him? I can't believe he got selected before Carmelo Anthony! :lol: I understand the logic, but now that I look at it...who the hell cares if you already had a wing, f***ing trade Carmelo for other players. LOL, but hindsight is 20/20 ain't it? :dunno:

Did I ever mention that if the Nuggets picked second, Kiki wanted to take Darco? :D

LMAO. Yeah you did. Hey at least he didn't pick some scrub instead of Carmelo. I mean you COULD look at it like that.

Anyone watching the Celebrity game on ESPN? Come on, EB is in the stands... any of these two teams can sign him to a 15-minute contract!

 

EDIT: BTW, how old is Bow Wow? 12? 13?

I think Bow Wow is about 17 or so. He dropped the 'Lil' from his name when he turned 16, and that seems like it was about a year ago. Either way, he's atleast 16.
