Celtics make a really fucking stupid move.

For once, in this thread, we agree, Leith

[Vassillios]

Perk couldn\'t catch, dribbled the ball unnecessarily, and flat out didn\'t produce. Great move. Just need to fill our bench and we\'re back in business.

perk had his ups and downs, but unloading the entire bench seemed a little overboard.  the one thing we had that most other top teams didn\'t was depth.

Exactly.  We gave up depth AND size.  

Perk, by no means, was lighting up the scoreboard.  But he was this big body in the middle.  Creating screens for Ray to hit the 3 or to give Pierce a jumper.   He was someone else to pick up the burden of rebounding instead of KG.  I think that was the nightmare of last night. KG was the only Celtic rebounding.  He can\'t do it alone.

We need to keep our fingers crossed that Shaq can stay healthy and play at least 20 minutes a game.

Oh, and I want a honest opinion on Delonte West.   Last night, he did not impress me at all.   I felt he threw off the rhythm when he was out on the floor.

West is still getting back up to speed.  He did pretty good in the third quarter.

missed the third.   went to sleep after that awful first half.  
I\'ll have to see what I think in the next game.

Seems like The Lakers are back on track after the break. Shut OKC down in the 2nd half yesterday and Bynum is understanding his role better each day.
GO LAKERS!!!

[SkyePrizm]

So, I just heard that the Celtics signed Troy Murphy....

as for last night\'s game, Ray was on fire.   And the way the team played, I have hopes that they are going to get past losing Perk.   I had read that Shaq will be back this week too.   So, for a moment there, it was scary.  But they look like they are back on track.

basketball is gay. this is the first time I\'ve ever looked at this thread.. looks pretty gay in here for sure.

[Igziabeher]

why ya gotta gaybash?

[bdfreetuna]

i meant, like, "jolly"

seriously I used to rage EA Sports Basketball 1998 on Sega Genesis.

all about the Lakers.

[SkyePrizm]

tuna would be a lakers fan.

but in any case, a true lakers fan (like Leith) would have been here in this thread a long time ago.   It drives me crazy when someone says they like a front runner and have no basis to back it up.  =P  No matter what the team.

Bulls.

[SkyePrizm]

Bulls.

Rose and the Bulls are looking damn good.  
I predict Celtics vs Bulls for the Eastern Conference Final.  
Heat have a tendency to choke too much in the 4th quarter of games.

[leith]

Bulls.

I am soooooooo rooting for The Lakers to send Phil off into the Montana sunset finishing off the 3peat against the Bulls.
Oh and after watching the total domination of the Spurs I can\'t believe anyone really believes there is a team that can beat a focused and healthy Lakers team in a 7 game series.
