what are you a racist? what does color have to do with anything. whats ludicrous is you even having a opinion on the subject because you have never seen bird play so stop lying. if the thread is crap don't participate in the thread. i didn't start this thread. enlighten me on how doc is a lousy coach now. and you know this because you watch a lot of games lmao . that's always good for a chuckle. if i were you i wouldnt comment on anybody's intelligence

Based on your lack of grammar, your incoherent stream of consciousness writing, as well as the constant use of things like 'lol' in your posts, you can't be more than 15 years old or have the mentality of one.

doc sucks ainge sucks they are both just lucky right? your are incredibly stupid. let me say it again so you can hear it. bird is and was by far the greatest clutch shooter in the history of the celtics and one of the greatest clutch shooters in the nba. your entire above post is wrong.

Why do you equate Ainge = Lucky with Ainge = A Crap GM?

You can't tell me you or anyone else deny the luck of NOT getting the bounce of the Ping Pong ball for Oden, do you? Tell me with a straight face that if we had Oden we'd be celebrating a championship. Go ahead.

And why do you think I'm disparaging Bird? I said he was a 50% shooter from the field. Look up the stats yourself. I agree he was the best clutch shooter ever.

I also said he had some missed free throws as well. All I'm doing is defending KG from all those who jumped off the bandwagon because he "clunked" two free throws, questioning his heart, ability and leadership. If that wasn't you, fine - if it was, eat crow and admit that KG had a great game when it counted most last night.

And look at my original post about Bird - and what I said about heart and leadership.

I think someone ELSE has been drinking judging by "your" (not "you're") inability to comprehend the points here.

And now you're accusing other people of being racist? What's up with that? You don't think you're reading a bit much into my and other people's posts?

i will tell you all day long that it wasn't luck regarding Danny ainge's success's. hes a excellent gm and luck had nothing to do with it. learn how to read .maverick brought race into the discussion not me. you would know that if you read the entire thread. i asked if he was a racist i didn't accuse him. but i find it strange he brought color into it. i never said you were disparaging bird. your just not accurate when describing his performance over the years. again you fail to see the difference between his over all fg percentage and clutch shooting . they are not the same. Dennis Johnson didn't shoot for a great fg percentage yet he was regarded as a excellent clutch shooter. again find anything i said negative about KG. you cant.

If you want to think that Ainge had no luck and that Bird never missed a free throw or shot in a big game, so be it.

Don't disparage those who know otherwise, and lay off Kevin Garnett. He missed two free throws in Game 5.

He redeemed himself not just in Game 6, but throughout a Season where he not only put his own ego aside, he showed incredible leadership and helped our young players learn what it takes to be winners.

If we never drafted Tom Brady in the sixth round and suffered successive 7-9 seasons under Drew Bledsoe, Pioli would be called a terrible GM. As it turns out, we did draft Brady and, lucky for us, he became one of the greatest cluth QBs in the history of the game. So for you to say that luck is not involved in becoming a good GM is completely bogus.

lay off KG? I was never on KG. put your reading glasses on lol and put the six pack down. just because you don't know anything is no reason for you to be disparaging to others that do.

What's with the pointless comparisons? LB & KG are two immortal Celtics with different styles and strengths. So why argue or knock either one?

But based on championship banners, for my money, the greatest Celt of all was a non-shooter: # 6.

All I know is I make what apparently is a crazy statement that KG shouldn't be vilified for missing free throws - and that Bird himself missed a few free throws and shots in big games - and that draws a series of rants by you whereby you think I'm decrying Bird and Ainge.

Then someone else raises some other issues and you're questioning whether they're racist.

You think you might just be over-reacting or reading more into people's posts here?

Again - lighten up, enjoy the moment.

Give it a few weeks and then maybe start a "Bird was no Bill Russel" thread so we can engage in another "controversial" discussion about two great and unique players who need not be compared to appreciate them.
