If Troy Murphy broke Lebron's neck, turning him into a quadripilegic who pukes and shits all over himself, and got banned from the NBA for life, nothing of value would be lost for the Celtics or the game of basketball.

Cassell Interviews For Rockets Head Coaching Position

RealGM said:
Sam Cassell made his case Tuesday that he is ready to begin his career as an NBA head coach with the Rockets.

Cassell was the latest to interview for the Rockets vacant head coaching position, and the second former Rockets player after Mario Elie's interview last week.

Reached on Tuesday, Cassell initially had no comment but then said he would speak about the interview later.

The Rockets met with former Nets coach Lawrence Frank, a Celtics assistant, Monday in Miami, and had interviews last week with former Hawks coach Mike Woodson, Bucks assistant Kelvin Sampson, Rockets assistant Jack Sikma and Elie.

It's like the whole league just wants to troll the Rockets. lmfao

I don't understand the implications of that cause...you know...who follows the Sixers?

Is Iggy a free agent or something?
Click to expand...
no, he just thinks he's kobe bryant and is probably upset that he's not embraced/treated like a superstar by either the team or the city

He would be a great 2 guard. But they could still use someone who can shoot better. I still say Afflalo would be the best pickup. But iggy would be great.

They could get OJ Mayo for a cheaper price. And there is nobody on Chicago that could help them out...Except Noah of course, but hes going nowhere.

OK just got back home, time to talk Celtics-Heat. There's no way the Celtics will win a game if the Heat are going to get those calls every single time they drive to the basket. It's so hard to watch basketball when a team will get calls just because they're close to a defender when they're laying it up. I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but the Heat are getting such shitty calls when they drive to the basket, and the Celtics don't get shit called when they make the same moves.

I'm mad.

I'm bitter.

(I'm drunk)

But the Celtics will not allow this kind of bullshit to happen in Boston, and the series will most likely come down to the home court advantage.

That statistic is always mind boggling to me.

It makes sense to me. In most cases, you have to win 4 of 5 with 2 games on the road and you just lost 2 in a row there. If you lost them at home, good luck wining 4 of 5 with 3 on the road!

Of course, the number isn't as bad if you get rid of the 1st round where there are a lot of 4-0 and 4-1 wins due to talent discrepancy. Not sure if any team ever came back from down 2-0 in a best of 7 first rounder.

But winning 4 out of 5 in the playoffs is tough; moreso against a team that's at the very least almost your equal and probably better.

Jazz in 2007 against the Rockets.

EDIT: Also Mavericks in 2005 against, yep, the Rockets.

The Mavs/Rockets one was especially weird because the Rockets won the first two games in Dallas.

And it ended with Dallas winning game 7 by 40 points.

T-Mobile's commercials freak me out because the girl looks like my little cousin, but my cousin is only 15, so it's like I'm looking into the future.

Is Shaq going to play in game 3? I don't know how much he would matter, but his size in the lane would at least alter Wade's and Lebron's paths to the basket. Right now the Celtics are just too thin up front. I don't think anybody starting Jermaine O'Neal can be too happy about it. But hey, Celtics fans are happy about starting Rondo, so I don't know.

Good breakdown of Derrick Rose waning aggressiveness

I wish he had Tuesday to Saturday to heal, what a retarded span between games. It'll be interesting to see how he plays tonight. Him practicing was the best news I heard about it, but it's also reported he got an MRI and has a grade II sprain. Either way this is a legit series. Crawford/JJ can put up points, and Horford is the best low-post scorer in this series right now.

Considering Rose means everything to our offense, I think it warrants worrying. He doesn't have Kobe level skill, where he could refocus his game. The Bulls need him to be the best athlete on the court.

Free throws are outside. It's a violation if you step into the paint.

The area is still painted.

Also. Inform the refs, I'm pretty sure I could call lane violations on every single one.

I'm not really being serious here, but I know the latter is true.

It's not painted. But the paint is short for the key, anyway. And free throws are outside the key.

It's like some of the Celtics fans in here think "They shouldn't be allowed to have foul calls" because it's like obligatory or something that you can't get fouled on consecutive trips, or it becomes "we did the same thing the other end" or some shit. Watch it again folks. Boston was consistently late on rotations and hacked and they know it too...that's what happens when Jermaine O'Soft is your center in the 4th.

And then there's guys like Sanjuro who think I complain more about the refs than anyone else. I don't think in my time here I have even hit double digit posts with ref complaints. So lol. I didn't know Celtics fans could get old and lose their memory just like their own team.
