That is' date=' if MJ can get off the golf course and pay a little attention to his team. That remains to be seen.[/quote']

Probably in their best interest that he doesn't.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Yes they are.

 

I heard that now that Jordan is going to be controlling the Bobcats he is considering a name change so expect another different uniform haha.

Good. Bobcats is a D-league name. And a bad one at that.

Looks like Finley's coming aboard.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Meh. Guess he might help limit some of Pierce's minutes but that's about it.

 

Meanwhile, Walker is putting up big numbers for NY.

[italstallianion]

House is doing pretty good as well. Granted he started off hot, and it's obviously a small sample size, but he's still looked good nonetheless with 10.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists compared to career averages of 7.6/1.7/1.6 respectively.

As if we weren't already the all-arthritis all stars

Playing in D'Antoni's system now you had to know he would have a statistical spike. No surprise.

[msubulldogs21]

This team should be ashamed. Down 55-33 to Memphis at the half.

 

No excuses for this.

Ugh.

 

That's why I'm watching NESN's rebroadcast of Nomar's 3hr, 2 grand slam, 10 RBI game against Seattle.

C's swept the the Texas trip! Hopefully I'm right with my gut feeling when I think the Celtics will flip on the switch and turn up their play in the playoffs.

Throwing together some quality wins here lately. Good stuff.

 

As for the playoffs I hope you're right, but I don't think this team makes it out of the 2nd round.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Release Rasheed.

[TheMino007]

16-0 run to end the game last night with a loss.... wtf

[msubulldogs21]

Release Rasheed.

 

Excellent post

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I'd be happier with Shelden Williams being backup center right now. Seriously.

I would too, because I think he actually gives a damn. Rasheed is the epitome of what you don't want in a player - he doesn't hustle, he doesn't care, I'm not even sure he exercises...

QFT. I have always intensely disliked him. Waste of talent.

[TheMino007]

I really thought he would be great signing back in the summer, man was I wrong. He's locked up for another two years two? Yuck

[italstallianion]

Don't forget that he also gets technicals. He might be leading the league again. And he's certainly not a good role model for Big Baby.

[YanksHater213]

The people who loved the shred signing are the ones complaining about it the most these days. Perhaps I don't care as much because I never had very high expectations for him in the first place.

[Spudboy]

Good game at the Garden. 1 pont game with about 3 min. to go.

 

I see The Thunder winning. The Celts just can't keep pace with young, athletic teams.

[Spudboy]

109-104, Celts lost.

I don't care about his demeanor, I knew what to expect there when we signed him. He's shooting a horrendous percentage, he's playing bad defense, and has been a total black hole in the rebounding area.

[suns]

The damn refs beat the cavs today. Lebron gets hacked in the paint and there is no call. Kevin Garnett barely gets touches and they call a f***ing ticky tack foul on the cavs. f***

The refs would have to do a lot to cost the Cavaliers a game that they are currently losing by 22.

[italstallianion]

To Suns' credit though, the refs have been pretty bad. 5 technicals thus far, 4 of which on Cleveland.

[suns]

Kevin Garnett really needs to shut up before someone hits him.

[msubulldogs21]

Lebron pulling up to shoot the 3 for the win with about 15 seconds left was incredibly stupid.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Kevin Garnett really needs to shut up before someone hits him.

So the other guy gets a technical and we go to the line. O noez, don't want that.

[Spudboy]

While I'm sure most of you know by now, Dennis "DJ" Johnson was elected to the Hall Of Fame a few days ago. I never thought this would happen given some of his domestic troubles. I'm glad it did even though he is not around to enjoy the Honor.

 

I'm guessing that many members never got to see him play. That's a shame. He did not have gaudy stats. But he was a big time clutch scorer. No one ever worried if the ball was in his hands and the game was on the line. He always made the shot or the right pass. But his calling card was his lock-down D. He would always make an impact with his long arms quickness, and game IQ.

 

I remember being awed by his athleticism when I saw him play for the Sonics at the old Garden.

 

Easily one best athletes I ever saw.
