i’d rather have a team that sucks

This was in today’s intro to The Basketball Jones:
“People tell me the Celtics keep losing because they’re old, but I have another explanation. Maybe they just suck.”
Then I read this from WEEI’s Jessica Camerato via Red’s Army:
The Celtics repeatedly have mentioned “turning a corner” to get back on a winning track. But with 17 games [...]

oh doc, you’re so predictable

Oooh, you’re going to make them practice hard? That’ll show ‘em who’s boss!

doc should make the team watch this for inspiration

A lot of people think the Celtics are done. Not just done — done, done. I don’t believe it. I think they’re just bored with the regular season, don’t get up for bad teams and let bad offense become piss-poor defense — all, by definition, attitude problems that exist between the ears. Doc needs to [...]

more fun with j.j.

Dante & Galante + J.J. Redick =

Bonus: Love the random dude in the bucket hat wandering into the shot behind J.J.

guarding kobe, magic respect and the joke that is nascar

I’m with Ron Artest’s barber… Boogie is his name
* I thought Ron Artest’s hair was tremendous. As was the sideline interview with “Boogie” the barber. “I’m with Ron Arest’s barber. Boogie is his name…” Boogie FTW!
Unfortunately, he’s shaved it already and now he looks like he has tattoos on his head. Which reminds me of… [...]

big baby, movie star?

Holy crap, I’ve heard everything now. According to NESN (via WEEI.com), Glen Davis (aka Big Baby, aka The Ticket Stub, aka The Eleventh Hour, aka Uno Uno, aka BABY OIL) was up for the part of Michael Oher in The Blind Side and was one of three finalists for the part.
Davis was first approached to [...]

ok fine, nate is not that awful

Damn that little Nate Robinson… He’s kind of hard to dislike. Either that or I’m just really REALLY bad at disliking guys once they put on the beloved green shamrock jersey. Yeah, could be the latter the more I think about it. Oh well, either way I have officially joined Team DomiNATE. Look at his [...]

tiny thoughts and a bunch of questions

Did Sheed bring the “flip the switch” disease with him from Detroit?
Did Kryptonate bring the “defense, what’s that?” stink with him from New York?
Why the hell doesn’t Doc Rivers play Shelden Williams more — at least for rebounding? He’s the landlord for christsake!
AND WHY THE HELL DON’T THE CELTICS PLAY DEFENSE ANYMORE?
Red rover, red rover, send [...]

powe has moved on, i have not

Leon is back. In a Cavs uniform. And according to A. Sherrod Blakely, he’s not bitter about how things ended with the Celtics. Maybe he’s not, but I still am. Anyway, it’s a great article. The last two paragraphs kill me slowly with a rusty fork:
And regardless of whether he plays five minutes or even [...]
