There's a Boston Celtics documentary on right now on ESPN2 for you Celtics fans. Pretty interesting.

[Emmz]

Dude, they have Celtics and Lakers documentaries every other year pretty much. ESPN loves the Celtics and the Lakers.

[Palodios]

As well they should. I went to the Celtics/Laker game a week ago, and caught Ray Allen break the 3 point record. A-friggen-mazing.

I know that but I still wanted to point it out. Two of the best franchises in basketball. Why not?

What? You're so lucky.

What? You're so lucky.

 

I had been eyeing Ray's stats for the last month or so, and when I saw that they were going to be home against the Lakers with one more 3-pointer to tie the record, I knew I had to go see them. My plan was to get a ticket from a scalper, but I ended up snagging a pair from a guy off craigslist for face value. $256 for a pair of the worst seats in the house, at face value, crazy. Not only that, I brought an incredibly hot blonde date who actually paid for her own ticket. Amazing.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Haha, I'm not a big fan of blondes but that's just me. $256 for upper deck seats? Jesus. I went to the Heat home opener and I don't even think they cost that much. I'm not sure though cause I went for free :thumbsup:

[Emmz]

Women pay for their own ticket? Did you check for an adam's apple?

And yes, I'm a huge Celtics fan, but they have documentaries about those two teams all the time. They definitely are the faces of the NBA, considering they both have several established eras of dominance, whereas most of the other teams in the NBA were dominant for only one decade, like the Bulls.

All star predictions:

 

Slam dunk contest - Winner: Blake Griffin Runner Up: DeMar Derozan

 

3 point challenge - Winner: Dorell Wright Runners up: Ray Allen, James Jones

[italstallianion]

When does it start?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Dunk contest should be starting soon. I don't know the exact time. Airing on TNT.

[Emmz]

the dunk contest isn't the same anymore. No Vince Carter, no Jason Richardson. Need a new guy with creativity.

[WhiskeyBreath]

This Shooting Stars thing is crap.

tbf, pretty much everything has been done already.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lmao pretty much.

[Emmz]

Not really, there's an endless amount of combos you could do pretty much. Like when Richardson combined off-the-glass and between-the-legs. I honestly probably haven't watched it in like 3-4 years, so idk what has been done since. There's also all sorts of ways to throw the ball up in the air that could be done. I know you gotta be realistic, you're not going go off the glass, 360, between the legs twice from the free-throw line. But these guys can come up with something creative still, I'm sure.

I know, I still can't believe it either. Its an awful shame that she was a space cadet or I'd still be seeing her.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Looks like skills competition first.

[Palodios]

The order I saw somewhere was Shooting Stars, the Skills Competition, the Three-Point Contest, then slam dunk.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Wow gay. I kept thinking the dunk contest was first. That's what I'm looking forward to.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Pretty sure that's been the order every year.

[Palodios]

Oh s***, I missed Ray Allen's first round. He made 20 points-- So he only missed 5-10 shots?

[EXman369]

the world is making me miss

[italstallianion]

Oh s***' date=' I missed Ray Allen's first round. He made 20 points-- So he only missed 5-10 shots?[/quote']

 

 

He made like 10 in a row towards the middle. It wasn't amazing, but considering how badly some of the guys sucked, he looked really good. I didn't think that Jones opening round (16) would have gone for 2nd place overall.

[italstallianion]

So much for that, both Celtics lose in the final round of the 3 pt competition to James Jones, with Paul Pierce in 2nd and Ray Allen in 3rd.

[bsox0407]

Who cares we beat them when it counts. Plus we all know that Ray Allen is the Best Three point shooter.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Wouldn't be surprised to see DeRozan win the dunk contest. Griffin is the heavy favorite though.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I have DeRozan as runner up but he can very well win this competition.

 

I didn't expect Durant to do so bad in the 3 point shootout haha.

[bsox0407]

Told you that the Batting Cages would effect you.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Kenny Smith is always extremely annoying during these dunk contests.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Lmao, I actually did pretty well today at the cages. I'm going to post another pic later because I still don't see the resemblance.
