Yeah I just read that there are a couple of groups interested in buying and keeping the team in Sacramento. The Seattle group has is a handshake agreement with the Maloofs but yeah I'll believe it when it happens.
And with Derick Rose comin back I reckon these guys could blow by both Miami and Boston (who planned their refrecvi off seasons eyeing each other)
Boston took em to game 7 with the likes of Greg Stiemsma, Ryan Hollins and Sean Williams passing for Kevin Garnett's back up. The real conundrum in that squad is Lebron James
Again, I feel dirty defending him, but did you watch the Bulls game? He looked to pass and made some great plays in the first half, and was responsible for the comeback in the 3rd quarter. Afterwards, every time he tried passing the ball down low we would easily strip Howard and denied Gasol everything. Thibs was doing this to make Kobe shoot more, and it worked, but it would not have if Howard could hold on to the ball long enough to draw fouls or if Pau could muscle his way in to get position. Plus Hinrich was having his best game of the season while locking Nash down and Jimmy played incredible defense on Kobe throughout the game.
I think I'm stating the obvious here, but Boston's in a no win situation this year. If they make the playoffs, they're guaranteed to run up against Miami or Chicago (unless we choke) and both teams are a matchup nightmare. At the same time they're too good to not make the playoffs and get a lottery pick.Celtics lose 4 on the trot
Its that dang bench! When they ball Jeff Green, Jason Terry, Courtney Lee could all conceivably be 6th in the man of the year discussion, yet the only one with real consistency this year is the tubby, undersized draft pick Jared Sullinger. As far as as match ups go I reckon the current roster was assembled with only Miami in mind (and if that bench shows up could still make life really hard for them).
