I really miss Mike Dunleavy Jr. right now. He really seems like the missing ingredient right now. As soon as he comes back I think we'll run off a nice long streak of 6 or 7 games of winning and run to the playoffs. The question is when will he come back. We really are just missing that 2nd guard/sf scorer type. Dunleavy is way different then Daniels is. His points all come within the flow of whats going on. Daniels is more of a stop, dribble, back a guy down, take a bad shot type of guy. And he's been hitting those shots. But Dunleavy will score 20 without anyone even noticing. Which is what we need to be more potent.

Please beat Toronto tonight Indiana. I need this win for my fan psyche.

DaveWadding 12-10-2008 07:13 PM

Suns definitely losing tonight though.

No Shaq (his great-grandma died), Raja (traded), Diaw (traded)

No J-Rich because he wont be in uniform until Friday prolly.

Juan 12-10-2008 07:40 PM

Don't be so sure Dave. We lost to Indiana, barely beat Washington and lost to the Kings last night :nono:

DaveWadding 12-10-2008 08:46 PM

We're out 2 starters and our 8th man.

We're fucked. There's no one to guard Mamba...he might score 60 tonight.

IC Champion 12-10-2008 10:26 PM

WOOOOOO

Fuck Indiana and TJ Ford the 5 game losing streak is over.

RoXer 12-10-2008 11:14 PM

Thank the makers Diaw is gone.

Raja though... :-(

What did I tell you before the season? Something to the effect of "Porter is going to hate Diaw's guts."

and Raja hated Porter's guts.

Juan 12-11-2008 01:14 AM

Well, Lakers won, but god dammit we're playing some god awful defense. :nono:

DaveWadding 12-11-2008 01:28 AM

I told you.

I was impressed that the Suns kept it relatively close the whole game though.

Gertner 12-11-2008 11:37 AM

lol hey RP, is T.J Ford still the best PG in the NBA?

IC Champion 12-11-2008 02:36 PM

If TJ is the best, then Jose Calderon is god.

Juan 12-13-2008 12:09 AM

52-52 at the half, and again, horrible defense by the Lakers :nono:

SammyG 12-13-2008 12:17 AM

Yeah, I don't give a shit if we win this game, the fact that we play such awful defense is a concern.

Juan 12-13-2008 12:32 AM

They seemed to have picked it up and now are up by 15, but the inconsistency is killing me.

SammyG 12-13-2008 12:42 AM

...Why the fuck does Luke start? Let alone play.

Juan 12-13-2008 12:55 AM

He's a decent defender, great passer and can run the floor, which is more than Radmanovic can do. I'm all for it :y:

Juan 12-13-2008 01:05 AM

I honestly hope we lose this game

Juan 12-13-2008 01:06 AM

This time the STARTERS blow the 15 point lead :nono: :nono:

McLegend 12-13-2008 12:44 PM

Mo Cheeks has been fired according to Espn.

IC Champion 12-13-2008 02:55 PM

Philly is underachieving. But it also has alot to do with the eastern conference, which is much stronger than last year, and other than Washington there really isn't any terrible teams in the east. The last 4 seeds in the east will be a dog fight this year between about 7 teams.

DaveWadding 12-13-2008 03:09 PM

I am gonna miss the hell out of RahRah and Boris to some extent (mainly because he was an easy target), but after seeing J-Rich put up 21 last night, I think the Suns did the right thing.

SammyG 12-13-2008 03:10 PM

Suns will be lucky to get a 7 seed.

Silly Suns fans, scoring was never the problem, it was defence. Suns management is ridiculous, and really have no idea what they are doing anymore.

Raja is old though, and saying Boris was our best post defender is like saying Tab is the best diet soda.

IC Champion 12-13-2008 03:54 PM

No but they did the little things it takes to win, and incase you've never watched him until last night, J-Rich is far from even a decent defender.

And Raja is like 32. Maybe you guys should have traded Barbousa.

Well yeah, but his skills arent what they used to be. There was the string of games where they gave up like 50 to Devin Harris then 50 to Choke Nowitzki.
Raja should be able to at least stop Devin freaking Harris if he's really that good of a defender. Just sayin.

IC Champion 12-13-2008 05:19 PM

Devon Harris is probably the quickest in the NBA, and top 5 in scoring. Maybe if Nash could stop his counterpart, you wouldn't need to have a SF stop a PG. Just saying.

So the Maloofs fired Reggie Theus today lol

This really isn't a surprise. The Maloofs have talked about their displeasure with the direction of the team on the radio for the last month and a half or so.

SammyG 12-15-2008 11:24 PM

Sweet, on NBATV tommorrow.

Juan 12-16-2008 10:02 PM

No Gasol tonight vs. New York

Juan 12-16-2008 11:13 PM

Fuck man, this is god awful.

Juan 12-16-2008 11:35 PM

Down 15 at the half :nono:

Juan 12-17-2008 12:55 AM

God damn, what a nail biter of a game. Kind of frustrating that we can't put a scrub team like the Knicks away, but these finals seconds should be exciting. Lakers by 3 at the moment with 6.4 left

Juan 12-17-2008 01:00 AM

Lakers win 114-116

IC Champion 12-17-2008 06:58 PM

Lakers just seem to find a way to get it done. I really wish we got more Lakers games up in Canada.

The Lakers have been nothing but frustrating over the past month or so. The 21-3 record is kind of deceiving because a lot (bad) teams have pushed us to the limit. They're missing that killer instinct they had at the beginning of the season.We'll see what this team is really made of on Christmas.

IC Champion 12-17-2008 09:24 PM

I can't wait for the Christmas Day game, gonna be awesome/

Big Fat Mike 12-18-2008 10:05 AM

If that happens, get ready for the haters to come in here and talk shit.

IC Champion 12-18-2008 09:15 PM

Fuck Boston, they're going down.

Paul Pierce the best player in the NBA, LOL!

Juan 12-18-2008 09:23 PM

I've always disliked Ray Allen, but last season I don't think there was anyone I wanted to punch in the face more than Paul Pierce.

IC Champion 12-18-2008 09:26 PM

KG has also become a huge douche since going to Boston

Juan 12-18-2008 09:30 PM

Yeah, Mr Punch-My -Chest-Like-A-Gorilla-After-A-Layup :mad:

yes, so would everyone... same with pierce and even Ray Allen at his age...

The reality is the Celtics had a great season last year and are dominating this year...

As with all teams that do that well the haters come out, because if 1 team keeps winning then fans of every other team in the league are jealous.

Same with dynasty's... I can't see much besides injuries right now that keep the C's from going back to back.

Can't wait for the Lakers games. Those will be fun!

maybe if Gasoft played like that in the Finals the Lakers would have done better...

Also, I love how he was all celebrating, but wasn't the score like 70 something to 50 something?

Yeah, act up and celebrate when you're down 20points... I never get that... it's like a TD celebration when you're getting blown out... WTF?

IC Champion 12-19-2008 10:24 PM

Didn't Charles Barkley call Chris Bosh soft, because Bosh just got out hustle by Nick Collison twice in the last two minutes against OKC. who really loses to OKC.

Bosh is soft.

Juan 12-19-2008 11:37 PM

Fuck man, can't believe we lost to the Heat. Oh wait, the Lakers have been basically playing like shit lately, so yeah I do believe it.

Oh and VEL, jealous? lol come on

To be fair. Did they get any where near as much attention?

I always hated Paul Pierce anyway.

RP 12-22-2008 09:47 PM

I wonder if Granger, Murphy, Daniels or Dunleavy will be back tommorow night. I cant believe we're only 3 games out of a playoff spot and we're missing our 4 best players.

SammyG 12-23-2008 12:20 AM

Fuckin ay, losing Farmar is AWFUL for us. Means fisher has to play like 40 mins a game. Ugh. Terrible. Come back quick Jordy :(

Alright... here we go... countdown is on.... Boston is coming to town.

RP 12-23-2008 11:06 PM

Heartbreak Pacers

I cant stand it. This might be worse then last year because i really enjoy this team and want to see them win as oppose to last year when I couldnt give a shit. We lose tonight to a buzzer beater. Granger is playing his ass off. Our rookies are having typical rookie seasons that are up and down but Brandon really brought his game tonight and by GAWD he has the tenacity of Ron Artest on both sides of the court. I love his energy. I love Roy Hibbert, the kid just cant stay out of foul trouble and isnt completely polished on the offense side yet, but he's close and in a couple years he'll be a top center. I truely believe this draft was a part of Indiana potentially making a run in the next 2 years because they of the guys we added.

But fuck i cant take the heartbreak everynight. And then they mix in games like the Houston game and the L.A game and my heart is on a roller coaster.

DaveWadding 12-24-2008 04:07 PM

LOL Grizzlies acquire Steve Francis from the Rockets for a conditional 2nd round pick.


In case you missed it: This is hilarious because Steve Francis was drafted #2 overall by the Grizzlies out of college, but then cried his way into a trade (see: Elway, John) and he was traded to the Rockets. Now he has to go to the Grizzlies :rofl:

IC Champion 12-24-2008 04:16 PM

Steve Francias was be touted as one of the better players 4 or 5 years ago, now he's a 30 year old has been. Sad.

That was a good game... Celts had a shot to win with 2mins left... just didn't get the bounces.

Congrats to LA and their fans.

Boston will win in Boston and these two teams will be back in the finals.

Bostons Bench is really starting to worry me, Perkins and Rondo are playing great, but the bench hasn't done crap.

The fact that the Lakers didn't blow boston out or make it a high scoring game like they can shows Boston still has a great Defense.

I wouldn't be shocked to see what Doc did in the playoffs last year, Pierce coming out a little early then coming back in with the 2nd team, if the bench keeps playing like this.

Who is this years PJ Brown?

Although, there has been some rumors that PJ Brown is waiting for a Celtics call after the all-star break...

Not sure I buy that since he didn't come back for the Ring Ceremony or anything.

Juan 12-26-2008 04:47 PM

FTR, I´ve always disliked Ray Allen for some reason and I´ve always thought KG was a big pansy. Them playing and beating the Lakers in the Finals last year just added more fuel to the fire, for me anyway.

i was at the celtics game last night and it was crazy. warriors trailing by 10-12 points the entire game and never seemed in it. but the 4th quarter comes and they actually play some defense and marco bellinelli proved he can be good if given enough minutes.

good pick, almost makes up for you picking against them in every round of the playoffs. :p

seriously, that sucked... we need bench help... someone dust off PJ Brown...

can't win them all... I just want to make sure Clev doesn't get home court for the playoffs, because the Celts do play great at home.

IC Champion 12-27-2008 06:35 PM

Boston is an east coast team, going out west, taking the loss to the Lakers, and then going in and having to go up against the run and gun offence of Warriors, not to mention it's the holidays, I just felt The Celts would let that one slip.

I figured if they beat LA they'd drop the next game... wasn't sure how they'd react to a loss...

but credit to GS for the win.

Oh, So he was always a huge douche, we just didn't get a chance to notice since he was in Minnesota?
