EXCITEMENT! We lost last night but the team still looked pretty strong. Sheed was on point and Daniels did some good work. Also this Mike Sweetney dude is a fucking freight-train - I'm pretty sure we just have him to counter-Shaq.

Discuss.

Sheed got T-ed up in the first preseason game...I LOVE IT

fo'bidden

wred X

The East is stacked this year. Celtics should definitely be the favs, unless someone gets hurt again.

I don't like how we face the Cavs on the last preseason game and then face them on the first game.

wuuuhh? that is kinda dumb

i think they're trying to build an east rivalry with us and the cavs.
'course when lebron james signs with the knicks that'll change

bronzo is staying in cleveland. he won't sign with the 'bockers.

no way man. I think all things point at him getting out of cleveland. he's never really given a straight answer and he always wears NYC shit. somebody bump this thread when it happens

i'd say he goes to the nets before he goes to the bockers

i really think he ends up staying in cleveland

100 bucks.

too rich for my blood

I can't afford that too.
10 bucks the King leaves Ohio

i just had a VIP celtics ticket fall into my lap for next friday. meaning i'm gonna get a chance to meet the team. i just shat myself.

I am jealous of Tom....you motherfucker

somebody book scaphism next friday.

tom, i'll gladly take that if your band is booked haha

that's awesome

When does the reg. season open up?

You should clean yer drawers then.

haha you can play bass for me if thats the case

just found it out its like a practice/exhibition game in Lowell. still should be a fun-ass time.

nothing in lowell is a fun-ass time.

typically thats correct...we'll see if this proves to be the exception.

good luck not getting shot at

Blowell

i have 25 years of experience in not getting shot at.

BUMP.
Season opener tomorrow night.

yessssss cant wait

The practice thing in Lowell was fun...then again, I was paid to be there since I'm the sound tech at the Tsongas. Problem is I can't drink if I'm on the clock.

oh you were there too? ya that was way cool

I just updated my cable bill so I can get all the games.

Comcast has a special that has Showtime channels for 5 bucks a month now.

Any good Showtime late-night pr0n these days? I haven't watched those channels in quite sometime. I remember having a hot box in the 90s and watching Pay-Per-View late at night. FTW.

eh its all the same... some titties and mostly "hairy bobbin man-ass"

Softcore pr0n is better. At least it used to be. I'd like to see more woman than man, please.

Pumped for this game tonight. I predict double-doubles for Rondo and Garnett, and a minimum of 14 technicals for 'Sheed.

There's a game tonight?

barring injury, the only team that worries me in the whole league is LA...IMO they have the best first 6 (Kobe, Artest, Fisher, Gasol, Bynum, Odom), and that includes Boston

but Boston should take the East

btw the Cs season opener is tomorrow, not tonight

Sorry about that gents, I'm a retard...forgot what does it was. Either way, I'm still pumped for this game...tomorrow night.

I cant wait until Derek Fisher fucking retires for good. Im so sick of that guy.

word is big baby is out for at least 2 months with a fractured thumb. I guess he got into some fight with an ex-teammate or something. idiotic; not even a basketball injury

wtf fag

Big Baby will be facing a suspension by the team (they're pissed off), and Rondo's agent doesn't want the deal the Celtics want. They've got to resign him by Friday or he'll be a restricted free agent at the end of the season.
His agent thinks he should be one of the top 5 - highest paid PGs in the game. The Celts disagree. I don't think he's worth more than 12million a year... yet.

un*

Well, they've got two mammoth salaries to deal with in Pierce and Garnette...plus there's the whole "do we resign ray ray" issue.

there's no issue, they won't resign him....considering they can fill his salary slot with one of the 15-20 max contract free agents coming up next offseason

I think they'll resign him. everybody loves him

why would you not re-sign a future hall of famer who still puts up consistent numbers?

cause you can get someone younger and better for the same amount of money

younger yes...better? arguable

the list includes: LeBron (prob staying home, but technically he'll be a free agent after this season), Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Carlos Boozer, Dirk Nowitzki, Amare Stoudamire, Manu Ginobili

I think I'm missing some big names, but you get the point

Lulz at Tracy mcgrady and Yao.

I'm not saying all those guys are better than Ray, but they're big name players that are available after this season....and I'm pretty sure all of them are younger than Ray

I can't believe these ref-fags didn't call that "block" on rondo a foul. Lebron gets every call.

That was a clean block I thought. Lebron is a fucking beast. I hope hes on roids or something and get caught. Great start to our 18th championship season by finally beating the cavs in their house tonight!

I know what play you're talking about, and that was all ball. His shot blocking is over the top.

No way. His forearm pushed rondo on the ground. Clean block, but not clean pushoff

He pinned the ball to the backboard, they were in mid-air, so you had to expect them to converge into each other.

Rondo initially started off the game making amateur mistakes. One pass he made was almost difficult to watch. But as the game progressed, he looked nasty. He made some great, fast plays happen.

Oh, and Ray Allen's epic travel FTW.

Tickets tonight anyone?

YUP my buddy who is a season tix holder just asked me to go....FUCK YEA

looking great.

Hey guys just dropping in again. I put the uniform back on the other day.. Boy it feels good. Were going to win it all this year.
Anyway, stay metal

scal

4-0 start AND Rondo has been signed long term before he goes to (restricted) free agency? the season couldn't have started better

2 losses in a row. Second to the PACERS? ugh... wtf just happened?

I think they're tired....they haven't had a long break yet

Yea man. Don't sorry, they'll recover

I was just having fun talking shit to cavs fans and now I can't.

Just won front row tickets to a game in feb vs the heat. It's a national game I think

you fucker, you better make a bova sign. I'll be watching that game for sure.

also make sure Bova's face is shopped over Scalabrine's for double lulz.

Yea man. Right behind th basket, court level. sweeet

Hope its a good game. They've looked more like the clippers at home this year.

They're horrible right now. Garnett is hurt??

They are sitting him a game for a bruised thigh. heh.

strange win but I'll take it. Magic game on Xmas will be good

officials for this game should be ashamed. bullshit.

funny, i was going to bump this. this was the worst officiated game i've seen this season. it was so bad

we did blow the lead but...still. ugh.

the officiating was almost as bad as district 9 and avatar combined

YOURE TEARING ME APART

bennyhillifier

impressive

thanks to last.fm i know about that band

Oh we got Nate the great. That will get us number 18 for sure. LOLOLOLOL......

i sense a hint of sarcasm

Who knows. We still got a chance.
We could all shoot better 3s than sheed though.

We have a chance but lets face it. Beating the Cavs, magic or hawks in a best of 7 is just not going to happen. We are too old, too tired, give up way too many rebounds and take naps on defense, not to mention go cold on offense for long stretches. Every team in the league knows if they just hang around with us they can get back into the game and win. Its sad. We don't scare anyone anymore.

i seem to remember Skinsandwich or whatever his name is talking the same way before we won the last championship

bennyhillifier

Really? He must of been crazy cause I watched that season and damn sure didnt feel this way. Just look at the stats comparatively. They don't lie.

Rasheed?? Is that you?

If we play like we did for the first 25 games we will win.

i understand what you're saying but theres no reason to give up on a team before we even get to the playoffs.

Yeah. I will still be watching the games and rooting. Im just a cynical fuck/typical boston fan.

"the negativity in this town SUCKS"

It really depends on pierce/garnetts legs. If they can't move, we fucked.

I say we get some MLB players to "train" those boys back into shape with some natural supplements...I bet Labron does it.

Of course he does. That dude gets every call as well. He was complaining to the refs at the all star game. He will be a knick next year I bet.

I loved watching him loose to the Nugs last night. My second favorite team after the celtics. He looked like he was going to cry and ran off the court before anyone could interview him.

hahaha, you saw that? He definitely ran off crying hahaha

i love listening to sports hub and hearing al the idiots crying about how bad the celtics are now and how ray allen sucks and kg is a bad contract. boston sports fans forget about championships really quickly. when the celtics lost out on the chance to draft durant, ainge decided to mortgage the future for the present and try to go for it before pierce got old. the gamble worked out. two years later, that mortgaged future is now the present. the bill came due and danny's paying it. no celtics fan can honestly tell me they didn't expect this day to come. maybe allen hit the wall faster than we expected and kg has been aged by injuries, but they're not young guys. they were going to get old sometime soon. it's like buying a bunch of awesome stuff on your credit card and expecting the credit card company to never send you a bill.

just realized tonight's game is the 2nd of 3 on 3 straight nights...2 of which are against the Lakers and Nuggets.....that's rough

I know they won last night but that's a tough stretch no matter how you slice it

correction: the Denver game is on Sunday....but that's still a rough stretch

this is how I feel about sheed now:

losing to the nets = LOL

fire doc rivers please.

i was at the game today. so bad.

best part of the game was me being on the big screen with my revocation shirt on.

I'll check back during playoffs. For now I am all set with the celtics this year...Loosing to the Nets at home seals the deal.

Losing to the Nets is a season low. Wow.

nate robinson put up a few horrible looking airballs today. i don't really get why they traded away house for him. house could at least hit the backboard.

I still have hope... Kinda.

Baseball season now!

Today hurt. Garnett was looking pretty good but looked like he was in quite a bit of pain - I smell another stretch of not playing for him soon... I went to the Cavs game Thursday and they literally played the best half of basketball I've seen them play in quite a long time (1st half - like Championship level for real) and than they shamefully blow that game and get laughed out of the building today! Are they just fucking with us at this point? The team that left the court at halftime Thursday hasn't returned since (or really been around all season it seems like)!

agreed. they died on Christmas day against the magic.

garnett was great yesterday, but i can't say much for the rest of the c's.

by the way.
Fuck the cavs. Let's go Cs

RONDO RONDO RONDO RONDO RONDO

the orlando magics are going to eat the winner of this series for supper.

Bump. NBA Jam 3 point god Dino Radja was in attendence last night. FTW
