Quote:

Rodney Stuckey and Aaron Afflalo have both played well in limited roles in Detroit.

It appears that this writer doesn't watch the Clipper's games. But I can't get on them for that.

Since the beginning of the year (9 games) Thorton is averaging 13 ppg shooting 49% (45 of 92). He also had 23 points last night and has averaged 20 ppg over the last 3 games.

I'm not sure Sheed would make it over Bogut based on the numbers anyway.

Which is fine. I took offense to the statement that Celtics are better players and BETTER HUMAN BEINGS.

A little satire perhaps given that the whole media world seems to think the entire Celtics team walks on water.

you mean they can't?

That is major change for the Celtics from their history

When Auerbach was in charge the Celtics parted the waters
Now with (A Inge) is in charge they are walking on waters

I guess you could say that the Auerbach Celtics were the Old Testament team and the A Inge Celtics are the New Testament team.

I'm not really sure calling your rookie big man a puppy who chews on your shoes is one of the best motivational techniques. It starts out sounding a little funny, but then gets really odd, then a little creepy.

Maybe one of the things they teach you in head coaches' school is how to talk about your players in the press. Appears Boylan was out that day.

He's still got it. Inspector gadget in the house. He's actually trying to cram the basketball into Kobe's eye socket. And as you can see, Kobe is in excruciating pain.
