    WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT FAT ASS?
  2. Flames24Rulz
    Agreed.
  3. Flames24Rulz
    JOAKIM NOAH!!!

    He's not a physical defender, and he doesn't crash the boards. He fouled out in the last game with 6 minutes left in the 4th.

    First foul on Allen comes in the 3rd OT. There's something wrong with that.

    Nice job VDN, you idiot.
  7. Flames24Rulz
    His foot was definitely on the line, come on.
  8. Flames24Rulz
    VDN is really an idiot.
  9. Flames24Rulz
    Yep, glad I'm not the only one to realize this.

    And a bigger lol at a guy starting a thread on RealGM wanting to trade Salmons.
  11. Flames24Rulz

    Again, the timing of this post doesn't make any sense. What is this, January? I agree Tyrus needs to go if we can get Bosh or Amare but I still think that's a pipe dream. I think Tyrus is ok, and I'm one of the biggest supporters of LaMarcus Aldridge that you'll find. So was Jay Cutler a pipedream. I'm not giving up hope that the Bulls can get either Bosh or Amare. The question is will Paxson make a "Jay Cutler" type gamble trade this offseason? Well it does take two to trade, so PHX or Toronto also have to be willing to move Amare or Bosh (even if they do decline extensions). I saw something on RealGM yesterday that said Pax still plans on stepping down as GM and moving into another capacity in the organization so take that for what it's worth. I really wish I could be as optimistic as you about winning this series. If we win game 6, then who knows? I really don't see how that's possible though.

    That's not true, but you're entitled to that line of thinking.

    Out of all of the times to say that this year, you say it now. There's one of them in every crowd. Yes our defense is brutal but we're far from "crap," especially after the deadline. I'm not quite following the "weird mix of players" line either.

    It was a team effort. And the refs didn't help. He's the PG. There is no team offense without him besides Salmons and Gordon isolations. I'm not mad at him or anything, he's a rookie. It's clear he's confused by what Boston's doing to him defensively. He can't get the dribble drive going and they're not far enough off of him where he's comfortable making jumpers. I did think we didn't do enough pick and roll though. This is an awful, awful post. Derrick Rose dribble drives and then looks to do what every good point guard looks to do when they can't finish which is kick it out to the open man. Unfortunately no one on his team gets open with a man shadowing Gordon at all times and everyone else running around like a bunch of 5 year olds looking forward to an All Sport after the game in their Biddy basketball league. The team has no defensive cohesiveness, takes terrible shots, doesn't get open, doesn't move the ball in the half court set up, is clumsy, is small and very very little of that falls on Derrick Rose's shoulders. This is a bad team with a few individuals who can pull games out of the fire and give people who don't know what they are watching a false sense of faith in the quality of the team. It's pathetic coaching, a weird mix of the roster, unorganized offense and terrible, terrible defense. What does all of that say about the Celtics then?

    I still disagree. And Garnett's a stupid [expletive]. How can you think thats not a flagrant? You have to make an attempt to go for the ball, and the ball was already out of his hands when Rondo bitch slapped Miller across the face. Thats as obvious as it gets I don't because there's plenty of times when someone is driving the lane and gets smacked in the face. One reason why people are questioning if it's a flagrant or not is because of Miller's reaction and the cut that he sustained in his mouth. If that didn't happen, no one would be saying it was a flagrant. I think if you call a flagrant on that, just make basketball WNBA-quality because that's pretty ridiculous. You don't make a flagrant call on that with the situation as it was. Big Baby's hard foul on Gordon at the end of the first OT on Sunday was much more flagrant-worthy than this. I know people are still going to disagree with me, but I can't get on the refs case for that.

    Yeah, I feel your pain.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4108844 Get ready for those Favre to Minnesota rumors to begin.

    He's a good defender but he faded down the stretch as usual. He has had a good series and hopefully other teams around the league take note and make his value higher for us.

    An hour later and I still feel awful. What a horrendous ending to a game that we should've just put our foot down and ran away with in the 4th. The refs were awful, but I have to give credit to Boston because they realized that if they were going to lose this game, they were going to lose the series. Just stupid, stupid, stupid coaching decisions. I'm still dumbfounded on how you let Salmons guard Pierce one on one when Allen is fouled out. That's so frustrating. As for the last play, I don't have any problem with it. I don't think it was a flagrant either. You can't make a call like that when the game's on the line. It was a hard foul but no matter how foolish Rondo looked, there's no way he wasn't trying to go for the ball in that situation. Miller just choked at the foul line but that wasn't the reason we lost this game. It'll be interesting to see how we respond on Thursday. Do we put this behind us and bust our ass the whole game or do we have a hangover and get blown out of the building like last Thursday? I'm betting a little in between, but I don't see how there's any way we win.

    I'm heartbroken right now.
