it wasnt a good game. doc rivers is an idiot. if the other team comes back and builds off that, you dont let them. you put your starters in (by then theyve sat 6 game minutes and should be rested) and dont keep the benchers in.

i also dont know why sheed is playing the outside, he should be down low at all times. our biggest offensive rebounder is rondo, something is wrong with that picture. a guard is getting all our offensive rebounds? wtf?

i hope this is all one big scheme to rest our stars during the season so that way they'll be set for the playoffs and play out of their minds.

its either that or bad coaching.

also: sheed apparently doesnt have the mindset to be coming off the bench and this was a bad idea. i cant believe what we're paying him. i say trade that dude in the off season if you can find any suitors.

hopefully ray's just having a bad year. and he says he wants to retire in boston. if thats so hopefully he'll play at a low cost if we resign him next year so we can bring down the 30 mill over the cap. also i hope pierce takes another cut off his salary. i doubt we can bring our budget down below the salary cap but it would be nice if we could sign someone like joe johnson next year (and get rid of ray all together) but that wont happen unless we get rid of a few players.

we're wasting money on scal apparently because we dont even let him play. so get rid of him.

i'm wondering if ainge is trying to build value in all the young players for trade reasons because there is no reason why they should be getting the ball more than they should.

and why are we going to perkins for plays? why doesnt pierce go to the hole and at least draw a foul anymore?

we started out this year fine but then they started doing things differently and its not working anymore. they need to go back to what they were doing. or maybe it really is some scheme to just make it to the playoffs and then just "unleash." i dont know why they would do that because let's say theres a tie and it comes down to orlando and us, they're going to go with orlando because theyve beat us so many times.

i mean, boston can get things done. we've proven that. we've beaten cavs at home (granted its the first game and they hadnt gelled together yet), we've beaten orlando at home, atlanta at home. we're just not holding it down in the third quarters like we can and should be doing. like last sundays game with orlando, we went 0-19 for shots. that just shouldnt be happening.

im drunk right now maybe these observations dont make sense. someone help me out here and tell me if im right or if i'm off.

unless rasheed wallace dies, he'll be a celtic for two more years.

the c's haven't beaten atl at home this season. they went 0-4.

they're just old, dude. it's over.

the kg, pierce, allen nucleus realistically only had about a three year window from the time those deals were made to get it done, and they managed to win one title out of it so i'd say it was a success.

it seems like it is going to come down to a 5 team race for the trophy, cleveland-orlando and la-denver-utah

it's over.

not till the fat lady sings. maybe they'll rebound... this is the nba "where amazing happens"

i cant decide between being optimistic or pessimistic.

17-41 end of the first

lol

i never realized how totally fucked the hawks are without jamal crawford

that is ridiculous

cavs over magic in 7

I hope the game tonight is at least somewhat close

pretty embarrasing for the cavs that they let the game get that close

not really.

i could see the wizards giving up jamison and butler if they dont plan on keeping arenas because of the whole gun thing. that means the wizards will free up their cap space, sign ray allen for dirt cheap, and probably go after dwayne wade or bosh next year or both. thats the only way i see this working.

if we got jamison and butler we'd have a sick bench. id say start eddie house or daniels (because jamison and butler are used to playing together). rondo runs around passing and he can find eddie to shoot. eddie wouldnt need to do much anyway. and kg can play freely and not worry about how many fouls he has.

i kinda wish they would get rid of davis, he's a clown.

this shit needs to happen

who knows..

he might be lying though, but then again the original source also said pierce would be out for the year. it could be complete bullshit.

i hate this whole "dunk in" idea, but lets go derozan!

gordon should have won that. So what that he took multiple attempts, his dunkswere better

dd had the best dunk and made it look so easy. this idea is retarded though because they have to save their best shit for saturday night

gordons dunks were much better than i thought they would be.. but he's like nate/birdman and needs multiple attempts to pull them off. makes the contest even more unwatchable than it already is. i wouldn't be surprised to see derozan win it tomorrow. it'll be fun watching him and brown

multiple sources saying the cavs are in intense talks with the suns about amare stoudemire

thats insane. the cavs dont need anyone though, they're already an amazing team.. thats like unfair.

pick and roll would be deadly

but i don't like the idea of giving up hickson, which i think is part of the deal.

amare is awesome, and better than hickson, but we're only guaranteed amare the rest of the year, i'd pull that deal if he signed an extension.

part of me wants the cavs to just stay put, because they have come together, how can you argue when they have the best record, a 13 game win streak and it's still going, and they're 4-0 against the 2 finals teams from last year.

i wish butler and jamison were coming to boston, but butler is going to dallas. not sure about jamison now, i thought the cavs were looking at him.

if boston got those two guys they would have been a serious team. hopefully ainge can come up with something halfway decent before the deadline. if not, then its officially over.

they definitely want him, but i don't think they want to give up anything, they may wait it until until the final hours to see if washington gets desperate. they are taking on a lot of money for a shitty team.

if the cavs pick up amare and jamison, its lights out for every team. thats a fucking SQUAD

it would be one or the other, they're both 4's

i think jamison helps us more now. amare and shaq weren't as great as you would think together

jamison/shaq is perfect, you have inside/outside. and i think jamison is at that point in his career where he wants the ring

amare has a higher ceiling than jamison but right now jamison helps the cavs more.

although if jj develops a jump shot, i'll be happy just staying put

i was gonna say, that would be too much money for both.

jamison is more of a team guy and i see him fitting in with the cavs much smoother than amare would. he has to be one of the worst defesive players in the league though

yeah paul pierce

yeah, there are a lot of 4's he'd have trouble with, pretty much any guy who can back you down

although jj has been on and off with his defense

the dunk contest is officially dead

unless lebron and someone else joins in, yeah its dead.

wallace's dunks sucked. they all werent really anything special. almost everything has been done before.

lebron would definitely get more attention on the contest, but i don't think he's all that creative of a dunker, most people are just amazed at him dunking on someone, or speedburning up the court, he's not really like a vince carter in his prime type.

apparently this amare deal is pretty close

see what happened when they brought in the 2 celtics? Wait till the 3rd quarter lol

what was that about when lebron knocked over pierce?

Nate Robinson for Eddie House.. thats it? Christ I was hoping for a big trade.

the next 22 hours are going to be nuts. the amare stuff is hilarious. it's up, it's down. he's coming, he's not coming.

nate should bring a little energy. i liked eddie, its too bad he's gone.

washington post reporting the cavs have traded for antawn jamison

and lebron james

what did cleveland give up for jamison? thats a good trade. i wish we got him as a backup

nevermind, just say your post on fb

we gave up z and a first rounder which is more like a second rounder because of how late it will probably be.

so basically, washington will probably buy z out, we get z back, and in turn we got jamison for a pick that will be anywhere from 26-30

plus they sent sebastian telfair who has an expiring this year which they could wiggle something else tomorrow if they so choose.

it's not amare, but it's still a solid deal and some close to the cavs think this is a better fit right now.

jamison must be fucking pumped. going from the wizards to the cavs?

yup. and he's gonna see a shitload of open looks because of the double teams of lebron and shaq, on top of the threat of mo williams who can shoot.

he probably won't start tho, the cavs are like 40-8 since putting jj into the starting lineup, i don't think you mess with that.

it's a good move, not sexy like the move for stoudemire woulda been, but a lot of people think its a better move right now.
