Didn't the Celtics make it to the ECF with a Pierce/Antoine Walker combo? In '01-'02 they made it to the ECF and lost to the Nets. Is that the year you're referring to?
Tell that to the accuweather folks quoted on the issue. believe me, i tried. I'm surprised my dad hasn't called me to ask if I saw him on Sportscenter. For an HR guy, my dad gets entirely too excited about the on-air talent at AccuWeather
I know I'm late to this but, really? Paul Pierce is a top 10 player in the league? REALLY? How far did that get him pre-Garnett? And how far will that get him with Garnett out?
Derrek Williams is fast, has good hands, and has shown flashes of brilliance as a punt/kick returner. He's undersized, and probably projects as more of a Bobby Engram type possession receiver than a game changer.
For all the mistakes that were made in this game, it was still fantastically entertaining. I'm pretty satisfied so far, especially considering that I was predicting a 20 point blowout in this one.
We weren't going to have the last shot anyway. Yes we would have if Lindsay Hunter didn't shoot a [expletive] 3, he had to shoot because the first shot never hit the rim
The Bulls are actually getting the ball inside and drawing fouls, which is nice to see. Also, Salmons is shooting much better, and Gordon isn't ice cold.
they were sorta real....mostly blocking fouls where Hinrich/Rose was backing up as Rondo drove on them and then everyone fell down. Not hacking fouls for sure.
