and IT was fouled there....

KO after getting hit in the mouth, and with the black eye.

[Chief]

Bradley is the worst at the fast break.

Well I definitely don't want to trade Zeller for Henry Sims as argued in these threads earlier....

But Sims just like everyone on the Sixers is a better asset than anyone on the Celtics of course

Today it got really extreme.. there were was a guy arguing they had discovered 4 playoff caliber rotation players that were undrafted in the last two years....

Some of those threads you are arguing with 13 year olds whose only knowledge of the players they are defending is NBA 2k15.

yea.. I wasted a lot of time.

I think he's actually a lawyer.



...somehow I knew Olynyk was going to have a good game when he checked in with the black eye.  They should hit him in the face every shootaround.

Whoa like Doogie Houser but a lawyer instead of a doctor?

Is that the thread about the 'love affair,' lol , with Philadelphia?  I'll have to check it out.

There were two, I actually started the love affair with Philadelphia in response to our front page having 4 stories about philly players on it. The calling Sims, Hollis Thompson and Convington playoff caliber rotation players (and calling Ish Smith, Isiah Canaan and others assets) was in the thread about lowe's article on the Celtics. It got super derailed (which I played a part in).

Yeah, I just checked it out.  Nothing really jumped out at me, though, so did things get more animated in the thread about the zach lowe article?  Also, I find it amusing that people talk about other posters in an open forum, as if they wouldn't be able to see said comments, lol. Don't you dare talk about me like I'm not here!

I honestly don't always live up to this, but I try to keep the tone of not saying things that I wouldn't say to someone's face on the forum.

As for this game. From my little gamecast it looks like Hibbert is starting to wake up. Is that the case? Not to be a slight on Zeller, but Hibbert really should be able to dominate him on the block. At this stage of his career West is almost purely a jump shooter, but players like Hibbert usually give us fits.

Hibbert 3-8 from the floor, with Zeller being 8-9 tonight... not sure how much waking up he's doing.

He did score 2 of the baskets in the 3rd though, for whatever that's worth.

He actually had 6 points and 2 rebounds in the 3rd, after having only 1 rebound and no points in the first half. Then they stopped feeding him the ball again which pleased me. Also, no doubt Zeller has dominated him tonight. I hope that continues in the 4th.

While I understand the overall strategy, fighting over the top of a pick set about 3 feet from half-court is beyond idiotic.  Even if the guy using it is Reggie Miller, GO UNDER IT!!!  Ugh.  Sorry - stuff like this just drives me nuts.  Does anyone on our team have a brain (including the coach)?

[SparzWizard]

Man we have to win this game. Brooklyn doing work tonight. Hornets won't budge.

[celticsclay]

I don't like this 6 point lead right now. Please start the 4th strong!

Pitiful Knicks. Tanking is bad for all. Especially the fans.

[esel1000]

Refs calling everything on us already...

[GratefulCs]

Yo adrien!

[Beat LA]

All right, y'all.  This is a roll call...

[positivitize]

CROWDAAAAH!

[Beat LA]

Nice job Isaiah (sarcasm).  Ugh.

[jpotter33]

Nice job Isaiah (sarcasm).  Ugh.

He's a tad too ball-dominant for my taste tonight.
