feel like this is all some elaborate joke

the LeDecision, celtics getting shaq, kobe winning the mvp while shooting 6/24, kevin durants twitter is all somehow tied together leading up to david stern announcing hes bought an applebees franchise or something and its gonna be the best applebees ever

yes doing this, keep in mind dudes that THERE IS NO FUTURE ONLY NOW (ie lockout 2011) the celtics do not care at all about the regular season and will only frustrate and depress you

and the playoffs will not make the season seem worth it, it will only depress you further for having sat thru their regular season nonsense

lol what the 2010 playoffs were totally worth it

no i only made u depressed further

it

stop telling ppl how depressed they are

i may become a celtics fan this season

diagnosis: depressed

:(

remember when they knocked out the skeet in the first round this year i do

bowtie is a nice touch for press conference attire.

this year will be fantastic.

Shaq is all smiles because he will earn a few more million dollars for doing little odd jobs here and there. Doc looks grimly serious because Shaq has just executed a cannonball into Doc's swimming pool and now only half the water is left in the pool.

jordan u forgot one crucial point that i dont have to watch rasheed power-walk from 3 pt line to 3 pt line thus the regular season will be less depressing. i know what to expect from fat shaq and he is really fourth/fifth big man on the depth chart and at a min salary and somehow that's less depressing

for real though i think cs will be energized by the finals run and ready for vengeance. injuries were big last year too

clincher is that league pass also means i can watch okc all the time if all else fails

clincher is that league pass also means i can watch okc all the time if all else fails

Was thinking this exact same thing today.

Shaq is all smiles because he will earn a few more million dollars for doing little odd jobs here and there.

this i don't believe. i think o'neal is desperately concerned with going out on a super high note -- preferably by beating bryant in the finals. he could have signed for more money elsewhere. not that i think he's likely to put boston over-the-top at this stage of his career, but whatevs.

i hope he wears the bowtie during games, is all i hope.

looking for a amen

will shaq playing for the Celtics in anyway hinder the chances of his jersey hanging in the rafters at Staples?

perkinstein, hadn't heard that one haha. shaq is on the boston celtics btw not sure if ya'll heard

man his twitter better blow up this season

http://i36.tinypic.com/28vq7nd.jpg

perkinstein, hadn't heard that one haha

im not messing with perkins. i like him

i'd push the big 3 down some stairs dont get me wrong

Then throw big baby down on top of'em

are these pre-emptively strikes against some trash-talking c's fans that haven't arrived yet or

ly

I don't get the potshots and hatred; C's fans aren't parasitical cancers like Lakers' fans.

oh GOODNESS i came here as a peace offering and now im a barnacle or some shit

'ez snappin' is scandalized by a little bored schtick BRA-VOE

aerosol really hates you all tbf

needs reposting

BRIDE OF PERKINSTEIN

aw

shaq to solidify celtics:

BOSTON — NBA analyst David Aldridge said Wednesday that with the addition of Shaquille O'Neal, the Celtics have vastly improved their chances of leading the league in three-second lane violations for the 2010–2011 season. "Not only does Shaq's presence in the paint give his team more opportunities to turn the ball over, but the Celtics have also added an experienced big man who makes an already old team significantly older," said Aldridge, adding that O'Neal should fill a key role in terms of drastically slowing down the Celtics' offense. "Danny Ainge was looking for someone with size who can't make it down to the other end of the court, and he went out and got the best in the business." Aldridge added that while O'Neal isn't the dominant force he once was, he believes Shaq still has a thing or two to teach teams who think it's a good idea to sign him.

He may not entirely solidify the C's, but he can add a lot of viscosity.

hahahahaaha guys i just realized, shaq is really fat!

on paper and based on my faded memories of his great prime years, boston signing shaq sounds like a very good move. then, you read stuff like this:

SamAmicoNBA Shaq on Mo: "Guys who couldn't even play were worried about shots. Why was Mo (Williams) taking 15 shots, and I'm only taking four?"

if o'neal is complaining about his shots on a 66-win team featuring lebron james, i'm not convinced he'll all of a sudden be a good team player in boston. i imagine if he could work well anywhere, it would be there, given the quality character guys leading the team, but still . . .

further proof that he's the best defensive player in the nba.

(Aimless mentally compares Smart to Rudy Gobert)

you have a point

damn that around the back dribble was smooth and tight.

game 4 and game 6 of the 2008 finals on ESPN tonight, truly anything is possible

ray allen had so many big rebounds in game 4! played great defense too. i think his all-around game is somewhat forgotten--he had no weaknesses to speak of.

this is the sasha vujacic game! i forgot.

yeah ppl think he was just a shooter he averaged 26 one year and 25 the year before with 4 and 4 he was a star

game 6 now. 58-35 at halftime. just an absolute shitkicking at this point. the 2008 celtics were really good!

that team wins multiple rings in the vast majority of simulations run one has to think

it's interesting if you look at it....pierce/garnett/ray were all between 30 and 32 in '08 so right at the point when you expect some declines to start. they also had a hard time finding bench guys after this season. in particular they never found another posey.

but yeah, if you take '08-'09 and '09-'10 together and think about the odds, in most scenarios they should have gotten another one.

even the next season after too they started out rolling then garnett got injured

of course i remembered that the '08 celtics had to go to 7 games in the first two playoff rounds because i was watching those games and was immensely frustrated. i had forgotten that the lakers had basically rolled in 4, 6, and 5 games through their series. interesting now because this lakers team has some holes! outside of kobe, pau, odom, and derek fisher (really gritting my teeth on that last one) this is not a great team at all.

in most scenarios they should have gotten another one

Count yourself lucky. The 1977 Trail Blazers should have had a repeat title at the absolute minimum. Probably a three-peat. Shit happened. They've never had a second title.

perkins going down in game 6 in 2010 was the beginning of the end of everything.

prob jaylens best game makin it look easy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHc8-fTxJ4M

his handle had gotten so much better this season. that iso around 3:00 where he puts thybulle in the mix and easily gets to his spot.

hes improved so much since coming into the league its nuts, he had a bunch of stuff that needed serious upgrade and hes pretty much checked every box

like his jumper was authentically bad

yup. he's unrecognizable from his rookie year.

bodes well for the future as a guy who continues to work on his game

After years of looking for this particular game, I almost gave up hope I will ever find the moment when Tommy Heinsohn compared Greg Stiemsma to Bill Russell.

everyone loves marcus

did tatum get a hoop at his house finally

pretty good analysis of jaylen, needs to work on playmaking, pullup 3s, help D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvcs4Fk6yt0

one part that kinda made me lol and rmde tho was when the guy said hes not even that good of a finisher he just finds easy layups like thats not a good thing, lil bit of not seeing the forest altogether tbh

An important takeaway from Trey Davis' music video: Marcus Smart goes hard on mini hoops.

i appreciate the decisiveness in kemba's game. he never gets caught off guard.

ha yes nurture that resentment jaylen let it fuel your dominance

good series on one of the celtics main offensive sets from this season

thinking abt how bad the celtics whiffed on the last draft and how bad they could use some guys who could play any minutes

if i were danny ainge i simply would have drafted brandon clarke

tough to find a rookie who can play in the offs. brandon clarke did seem like a smart pick at the time tho.

next year they will be 2nd year players thoooo
