Right now' date=' I will give the Green time. Nate may have gotten a wakeup call. Going from the Jersey Shore to the North Shore could be a good thing. I just hope that the Gahden-dwellahs didn`t give away too much.[/quote']

House, Bill Walker, and J.R. Giddens. You be the judge.

[YanksHater213]

Walker and Giddens aren't players who will be making an impact in the NBA, and House is a guy who is on his 9th team in 10 years. Robinson is a guy who can come in and bolster our bench scoring, which with rebounding are our two biggest weaknesses.

 

Nate should fit well unless he faggots out and gives us character issues to deal with.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Robinson isn't that much better a scorer than House. It's surprising what putting a player in an uptempo, offense happy system with no one else to take shots can make him look like.

[TheKilo]

No mention of how bad Ainge spit the bit this week for not dealing Ray's expiring contract at the deadline? You people have gotten soft in my absence.

[suns]

Jamison can't shoot.

Jamison can't defend.

Jamison can't pass.

Jamison can barely run right.

Jamison can't do anything right. He can barely come off the bench right.

 

This is a championship team and he is messing everything up!!!!!!!!!!!

Judging by last night's Knicks game, it looks like the Celtics got "Housed" in that deal, if you know what I mean.

[TheKilo]

Nah, DAntoni's system is perfect for a guy like House. He'll get to chuck 8-10 threes a game.

Reactionary foolishness. It may not click right away, but he definitely makes your team better.

Yeah, and House is one of the guys that will make many of them. I'm not arguing that the Celtics really did get screwed in the deal or anything. I just find it funny that House scored 24 points in his first Knicks game when he was averaging like 7 with the Celtics. I'm not arguing that this will continue and that House will do that every game, I just think that it's pretty funny nonetheless.

 

Similarly, I also thinking that McGrady dropping 26 was also humourous.

Memo to refs:

 

If there is a foul on dwight howard, CALL IT!!!!!!

[italstallianion]

Jamison had 19 points in 9-14 shooting in his second effort. Not bad. Also pulled in 8 rebounds a steal and a block.

[Emmz]

Yes, but for the rest of the season which starting 5 would you rather have?

 

Nets:

PG - Devin Harris

SG - Courtney Lee

SF - Terrence Williams

PF - Yi Jianlian

C - Brook Lopez

 

Wizards:

PG - Foye

SG - Mike Miller

SF - Josh Howard

PF - Andray Blatche

C - Javale McGee.

 

Wizards might not even have Arenas back, he is suspended this season and still hasn't been sentenced. Nets at least have two all star caliber players Wizards don't.

 

Honestly? It's close to a wash, but with a healthy Gilbert Arenas, who can carry that team to a win by himself when in top form, they're definitely better than the Nets. I have to give the Wizards the edge based off of the records alone though. Not often you can look at a team and say: "they're gonna come close to winning under 10 games this year".

[italstallianion]

I'd honestly go with the Nets group for the coming future. I like Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, Chris Douglas Roberts/Terrence Williams, Yi Jianlian and Brook Lopez more than I like Randy Foye, Mike Miller, Josh Howard, Andray Blatche and Javale McGee, on a purely talent stand point. They are also much younger and the Nets should most likely have a better draft pick than the Wizards which will also help in the near future.

 

But I see the Wizards having a better record in the remainder of the season, but I'd rather work with the Nets talent than the Wizards at this juncture.

Yeah but talent doesn't mean anything. Basketball is one of the few sports where chemistry has a massive, massive impact. A couple bad apples on a team full of incredible talent can lead to a horrendous season.

 

I think the Nets might have more potential, but a better team is completely debatable.

Keep in mind that Josh Howard tore his ACL 4 games after the trade, so I think my point gains more poignancy, however, your last line is the entire point. That is why we are debating it. It isn't an exact science, but you have to do the best you can to make the best guess. I'd take New Jersey even with a healthy Josh Howard, but the injury ices the cake. However one can still make a respectable argument for Washington, at least with Josh Howard.

[italstallianion]

New Jersey might get their 6th win against their 5th team, leading 65-52 on the road vs. the Celtics.

[Spudboy]

Celts are just pitiful.

[Spudboy]

Stick a fork in 'em. This team has no hope of competing for a tittle.

 

Down 18 points in the 4th, the Celts made a "spirited comeback", closing the gap to 6.

 

Too little, too late.

[TheMino007]

The Celtics suck. Time for another 15 years of sucking after one good season

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Wow, maybe it's a good thing I don't have cable ATM.

[Jasonbay44]

lolwow

[suns]

Pray for Rodney Stuckey.

[Spudboy]

What happened to him?

[suns]

What happened to him?

 

Had a seizure.

[Jasonbay44]

Yeah I saw that, hopefully he is alright. Thoughts and prayers with him.

[italstallianion]

I wonder what Suns thinks about Joakim Noah.

[bsox0407]

I wonder what Suns thinks about Joakim Noah.

 

who goes to vacation in Cleveland. You never hear anyone say lets go to Cleveland on vacation. lol. hahahha

[italstallianion]

While I hate Noah for other reasons, I think this is hilarious, and I appreciate the honesty. It might be a stupid career move, but somebody had to say it.

I hate Noah. He is a douche. I hope he signs with cleveland some time in his career.

[suns]

If you want to see a little bitch...Look at that bitch Noah..

 

If Noah was Wilt Chamberlain and he said those things about cleveland the cavs would never sign him.
