Celtics Season Begins ...

[Patsfanin Philly]

Agreed 100%.

As long as the Celtics stay healthy we will be in the Finals vs the Lakers.

Wouldn't TV love that????
I has tix behind the C's bench for their game next Tues in Philly. Last time we went was when Ray hit a buzzer beater to win the game. You never heard an arena get so quiet so quickly.......

Very OT but deadspin.com has excerpts from Tim Donaghy's book on NBA refs. How much is true? Who knows but after watching the 2002 NBA western conference finals, game 6, I'm not as skeptical.

Yeah they definitely destroyed a team that they should but how about cleveland losing to Toronto?

The Raptors have a good team but the Cavs dropping to 0-2 after the loss to Boston is kinda shocking. I expected a Cavs rebound.

Wouldn't TV love that????

Nah TV would love a Cavs/Lakers Finals. It wont happen b/c the Celtics are better all around when compared to the Cavs.

The Spurs may give the Lakers some trouble but at the end of the day I see a rematch of the 08 Finals.

Shaq thought he would be ready for the game ... he had practiced all the plays on his Nintendo.

indeed and now they are 0-2 with Shaq, great pick up for them

Shaq is painfully overrated.

Painfully.

Having him clogging up the middle hurts Lebron, who is a monster when he takes the ball inside, Shaq is just going to get in his way and force him to shoot outside shots all game long.

Stupid, stupid, stupid pick up.

As the big O said today, when it comes to beating Shaq, pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll.

The Celtics got much better in the off season, their bench is very deep now and they are going to grind teams into the floor with their defense, while Cleveland added washed up bloated gasbag.............

I was being sarcastic

I was being sarcastic

I know you were, I read what you said earlier about his "game" and couldn't agree more with your analysis.

Cleveland has been throwing sh!t against the wall to see what sticks since King James arrived and they still haven't surrounded him with top shelf talent and he'll continue to try to win games all by himself.....................

You summed that up pretty well.

You summed that up pretty well.

Kind of sad really ... players like Lebron and Iverson ... teams that had the top pick and then rode it for all it's worth.

I never really understood the Iverson hype during his days as a 76er. He always shot like **** and was a ball hog. He went to Denver and hurt them. He left and they won. He goes to the Pistons and they go from a winner to crap. Now hes in Memphis LOL.

I agree he sucks now but you can't pin the troubles of the pistons on AI. Also he faired pretty well with the 76ers, brought them to a finals and was the season MVP. 4 scoring titles.. thats not hype
