looks like mike brown's stint in l.a isn't going to end well...what is the point in training the team on his approach when kobe does whatever he wants on the court regardless of whether he is shooting well or not...and it doesn't look like brown has the balls to call him out on it...

He's got them playing good D though. But yeah, Brown did the same with LeBron.

Lol at wizards.

Man, all this Rubio needs more minutes talk is doing my head in. It's hard enough for a rookie to come in and cope with the schedule, but in a nutcase season like this it'd be brutal. Not to mention he probably needs a few pounds to compete anywhere in the paint.

Guys like Westbrook, Felton, CP3, Lowry and Tyreke are going to be way biggers than him and muscle him hard, while the Lawson's, Elli's are going to test him out big time athletically.

Adelman knows what he's doing here by easing him in, getting him settled, be able to create a shot for himself (if he scores more it makes it more difficult to play passing lanes against him), bulk up. This guy's going to be around for a long time so why start to wear him out in a season where they aren't making the playoffs?

Man, they need a W bad or else this could be historically bad. That team has a lot of players no one else wants to take off them. Wall is going to start regressing if he doesn't get better teamates.

Celtics yet to beat a playoff standard team this season. That is very worrying, going into a game v. Chicago Bulls

Man, Rubio is a stud!

Last game: 9pts, 8rebs, 8asts, 2 stls
Todays game: 9pts, 7 rebs, 8 asts, 6 stls

Draws so many charges.
No looks passes up the wazoo.

Just needs to improve his shot, 4-18 in the last 2 games.

Heh, could write an essay on all that's wrong with the Knicks. Such a poorly put together team.

Have massive mancrushes on Ty and Gallo though. Denver, **** yeah!

exactly...chandler is a good defender when healthy but he does not have any offensive presence and is not nearly good enough to transform an average team into a contender...i found d'antoni's claims after they acquired chandler to be ridiculous...and 'melo and amare can rain in the points but if they can't defend, they will keep losing...

My God, the addition of RIP has made such a huge difference in our spacing and passing. Most underrated signing of this off season. Just wish all our guys were healthy all at the same time.

I just love how good Nuggets are this year after robbing the Knicks in the Melo trade. This NY scenario could not have been more comical for me.

That said, I remember being quite angry when we passed up D'Antoni to hire Vinny...

Double header v. Orlando for Celtics. No Rondo, Allen, Dooling, or Dietrus, due to injury. Bass and O'Neal have vanished from the face of the Earth as far as picking up the slack goes. If Paul Pierce, hasn't already been wrapped up in cottonwool, then he'd better be cos its up to him to save us now.
