entire NBA playoffs[/URL]

Celtics coach Doc Rivers said this morning in a radio interview that All-Star forward Kevin Garnett will likely miss the entire NBA playoffs due to his knee injury.

It wouldnt have mattered.The Celtics "big 3" (yuck yuck) are done.Soon we will see how not good a coach doc rivers is again.

[WoolyGoat]

yeah I'd much rather be a sixers fan.

yeah I'd much rather be a sixers fan.

I'm not saying that but its getting close to the point where the sixers have a brighter future then the Celts.I feel bad for the Celts and the league really.The Cav's\Celts series would have been epic.Still will be good but the Celts have a built in excuse now.

If the sixers push it to 5 games I'll be surprised.

[quint]

sixers need a consistent 3 point shooter. they stay in games when they run and push the tempo.

[WoolyGoat]

they need a max contract guy that deserves a max contract

[BIRD33]

Yup.Elton Brand deal is a travesty.I still think they should trade Igudala before his value drops and everyone figures out he'll be no better then Shariff Abdul Rahim.Let Thaddeus Young have all his minutes and take Iggys money and get a 3 shooter and someone who can replace Andre Miller if he decides he wants to much money and leaves.

[quint]

miller almost cost them the game last night. he consistently holds the ball to draw a foul when time is running down.

[BIRD33]

His main source of points is at the line.He can't shoot that well and relys on that pump fake.I wonder what % of his total points have been from the free throw line.Its got to be over 50%.

11896 career points, 3002 career made free throws (25.2%)

1337 points this season, 338 free throws made this season (25.3%)

[BIRD33]

I didnt even know they broke it down like that.Whats the % of free throws for an average player?

[WoolyGoat]

like the average FTs to PTS ratio? I have no idea.

I just looked at Miller's yahoo page, they have career stats broken down by game average and season totals.

[BIRD33]

I'm just curious as to say a Igudala's percentage of total points all time off free throws.It seems like Miller won't even take the a shot without the pump fake to draw the foul.I'll look it up.

[WoolyGoat]

Iguodala

1613/6305 career (25.6%)
377/1541 this season (24.5%)

[WoolyGoat]

just heard on the news that Danny Ainge had a mild heart attack.


like, literally.

[BIRD33]

Wow.KG is killing him.

[BIRD33]

Please set picks for me otherwise I'm a waste of space.

Sin,

Ray Allen



Derrick Rose anyone?Talk about a break out performance.Anyone on the celts at the guard spot have a little pride and maybe not let him get to the rim?


Sixers game was exciting.Its true what C Webb was saying that Orlando really doesnt go to Howard in the last 5 minutes of a ball game to score a bucket when they have to.Igudula is hilarious how he just charges up court through 4 guys on his own personal fast break.He made up for bricking two foul shots by hitting the game winner.Sad part is this probably means the Sixers will bring back their shitty coach.

[WoolyGoat]

Rose was incredible. Celtics fans seem kind of weird right now. I mean, everyone knows they're not going to beat the LeBrons anyway, so it's almost like it doesn't matter if they lose a round (or two) sooner. I don't really get it.

I still think they beat the Bulls. Everyone except Gordon had the game of their lives and they barely won.

[WoolyGoat]

oh, and the Magic are frauds.

Howard is almost like Garnett in that they're both monsters, but any contending team they're on is going to need a crunch time scorer down the stretch because they're not going to get it done.

Yea whoever that Thomas guy is hit some big jumpers I don't think he'd normally make.I still like the intensity of the bulls that gives them a real chance.Jakim Noah is just behind Sammy Dalembert for dumbest player in the league.That foul on Pierce which should have ended it was fucking retarded.

I can see a little apathy setting in with KG out.Watching the Cav's it's tough to see how they have anyone who can check Lebron.It would be depressing.Its Lakers\Cav's no doubt.
