What the Sam Cassell is going on these days? Fans around Boston are going nuts about a little .500 stretch over the past couple of weeks… and John Hollinger is wondering out loud about the Spurs ending up in the lottery…. IN THE LOTTERY!
Hey Hollinger… put down the crazy juice and step away from the computer. In fact… everyone needs to take a hit from Bill Walton’s pipe, have a couple of Twinkies, and mellow the hell out. If the first part of the season was the Celtics version of going NBA Live on the league… then January is the part where our thumbs got tired. We’ve got the Heat tonight… who I think we can still handle even though it looks like KG is still out. What we really care about is KG being ready for Thursday night’s Dallas game. After we lay the wood on the Mavs (who won’t have Devin Harris) then everyone can stand tall again and recognize that we’re still awesome.

And remember that exchange between KG and Al Jefferson that resulted in double techs the other night? Seems like it was a good one:
When Kevin Garnett emphatically reminded Jefferson of his all-star selections – “11 years! 11 years!” – Jefferson replied with something that Garnett couldn’t top.
“I told him we both have one thing in common – no championships,” Jefferson said. “He didn’t like that too much.”
Ouch. Good comeback, though. Might as well get that in while he can.
Big props to Al for that comeback. I must admit, its kinda juvenile for KG to be touting his All-Star appearances…its like Brady bragging about his Pro-Bowls. Lame…
I get the feeling that KG may not be the most well-liked guy outside of his team.
KG is an intense guy on the court. He probably talks as much as anyone in the league…. but Larry was like that. I think off the court, he’s fine.
I’m not going to lie.. I hated when KG would talk smack.. I mean all I saw on ESPN was KG talking shit… but now that he’s on the Celtics I love it. Its similar to Rodney Harrison.. Everyone hated him around here but as soon as he put on that Uniform it all Changed!!
Speaking of putting on Uniforms. Doesn’t Garnett look like he always belonged in a Celtics Uni.
P.S. That was a great comeback from Big AL!
Everyone hates a talented asshole until he’s on our team.
Take Chuck for example… I hated him until he slipped on the Red’s Army jersey. Now I…… um….
Sorry. Bad example.
alot of good statments there…………is it just me or does Bill Walton Kinda look like Rocky Dennis with a beard in that photo?
I’m just shocked a guy that rail thin was one of the best big men in basketball.
Rocky Dennis… ouch
