I like the blog... It lets me swear.
As for the trade it sucks. Toine sucks, Ainge sucks, the management sucks. I can't think of one positive thing to say, except that I am going to save a few bucks by not going to anymore games this season.
Toine fucking sucks. He shouldn't be playing anything. The only upside is his contract is up at the end of the season. However, since they traded for him this late in the year those cocksuckers must plan on signing that little bitch to an extension he isn't worth. Fuck!!! Give me the money. I can let people blow past me on the court all night for 12 million
One last thought.... Who gets to wear #8?
I feel like I just caught my dick in my zipper.
If AJ gives up #8, what a shitty message that sends. You just let the future of the franchise turn his jersey over to the one person we're all trying to forget. I guess Ainge better pick up Walter next season too.
It's been a tough enough day, why'd you have to bring up Walter? I'm gonna go blow dry a turd.
the people over at Celticsblog are already talking about signing Antoine to an extension for 8-10 million a year. These are the kinds of things that make me want to break stuff.
Now they're talkin about bringing back Kenny Anderson. Ainge must be a proctologist if he pulls that guy out of his ass.
At first the trades today look like crazy man's ramblings, but let's REALLY look at them. First Jiri to Cleveland. , for a shitty pick. Jiri's value was as high as it was going to get. He's not better than Tony Allen, or Ricky Davis, so he wasn't going to get any more playing time. Good trade. The pick then goes to Atlanta with Payton + trash, for Toine. At first I saw this as screwing Payton, but really it's an opportunity for him to play in the finals. How? Atlanta will obviously waive him, then some smart team like Miami will pick him up. Good for Gary and us. Toine's value is dirt right now, so the Celts will be able to easily match any offers this summer for Toine, or clear up the cap space.
Philly got C web, Rogers, and Mash. Danny counters with the C Web killer -Toine. Without this trade the Celts had no hope of fighting off Philly for the last spot. Toine's gonna play hard to get a good contract, so that means the play offs. Then again, I've never seen Toine slack. He might be a knuckle head, but he's always played hard. I guess Aw was right, the offense will 'go through me and Paul'. lol
Danny Ainge is a mastermind. Simply amazing, getting Antoine back. Danny is like Dick Chaney, the man beind OZ, pulling the strings and controlling all the action. We all hated him. Then he get's Toine back!!! Toine's the equivelant of George Bush. Lots of wiggle and annoying nonsense talk, mean while distracting the public from the real man running the organization. What a great smoke screen move. Now we'll all be talking about Toine again, instead of Danny. It's pure genius.
hey DA, that wasn't the pick we traded, it was either ours or the Laker one from the GP trade, whichever's worse. Either way it's going to be a better pick then Cleveland's in 07, which'll be at best in the mid 20's.
I just heard Shira on Sportspulse NE saying that "the way this deal was structured will probably give an answer as to who'll be playing point guard" So maybe there's some truth to the GP getting waived and coming right back rumor. Or it's going to be Kenny and then I'll eat my own fucking shit and cry myself to sleep fo the rest of the season. Can't wait for all those 'toine, PP, RD moments when each one of them is trying to take the game over. I've said it before, I'll say it again - FUCK!
Danny Ainge has been having too many talks with goddam Bill "love my Loverboy headband" Belichick. Its offical the celtics have turned into goddam new york knicks, is msg running this team?
Hey, I just had a hell of a nightmare. We just traded a 1 pick for Antoine. Wait a minute, it's true? Excuse me, I gotta go take a shit.
The percentages on a poll at another celtics "blog" *wink* are amazingly lopsided and in favor of AW coming back. It is ridiculous!!!!
We struggled to get rid of him. If you sign him to an extension, we won't be able to resign the rookies. There just isn't enough $ to go around.
... At least we are better than the Knicks.
Hey DAwesome, nobody appreciates sarcasm more than I, that's some good stuff.
You were being sacastic, right. Please say yes.
Are those two fucking idiots at that celtsblog Danny's bitches or what?
Do they think for themselves?
I thought I would calm down by now, I haven't.
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
Great article by Bob Ryan. Great point about PP and the 2002 national team.
I'm skipping the game and, ug, talking to my wife tonight.
a number one pick for 29 games of Antoine... it just hits me sometimes when my mind starts wandering.
lol, well, we're all entitled to our opinion - and I respect yours.
keep up the good work on this site and best of luck with it
(by the way, I think celticsblogsucks.com is probably available)
take care
-Jeff (f'n idiot #1)
hey Jeff, how about a PO vs. Hagrid chat war and we transcribe the results for everyone?
I have expressed my admiration for Celticsblog many times, i don't think criticizing individual posts by people I don't name equals dissing the blog. Fortunately or unfortunately, CBlog has the most people posting, so it's the best place to see people's thoughts and then reflect on them. ie: when I say, "someone at Celticsblog said..." I don't mean Jeff or Hagrid. It's like saying, "some moron on the radio said..." and you don't mean the DJ. PO has his opinions and they are often visceral, but I think most people realize that he's just stirring the pot. I'm sure he'd disagree with that...
... on the other hand, I just see that Hagrid's taking shots at RickyDFan, probably because RickyDFan has the balls to post here and have some fun and give us his opinion. It's not like his comments were mean spirited (like PO's), he was just giving his opinion. Hagrid, chill, take it out on me and PO.
I can't control the hagrid, he's his own man, but I don't think he's going too far with RickyD (yet).
I have zero issues with what you guys do here (hey, its your site) and as long as you respect my policies on my site, I have no problems with you (well, one of you) there
Jeff, my good man, I have no beef with you ever. I also cannot control my colleague either though... we really need to have that online grudge match.
I can see Hagrid's point. Although I may not agree, it is all good. I will still be a fan of the Celtics, and still believe in their future (and still hope Antoine won't be part of it).
If you can't take a joke, take a shit.
consider me a RickyD Fan fan - well done sir
when all is said and done, it's pretty cool that a .500 team that hasn't won a championship in 19 years can spark such passionate debate. And none of us are paid to do it. Goddamn, I'm pretty sure no one in Golden State Warriors-nation can say that!
Hey Jeff, miss me?
I really don't mean to ripe you, because you come out and say that you are a AW fan and are happy to see him back. Others try to make sense of it in basketball terms, or organizational terms, which it doesn't. At all.
I'm a little unclear on that policies point - am I welcome back on your board to post? That's all you need, huh, more gas on the flames.
Oh yeah, I would think that Hackrid would be entirly too intimidated to take me on during a rant-off - imagine an Eight-Mile style rant-off for two uncool white guys who follow a bad NBA team.
Celticsblog is a fucking abomination. Wyc is too worried about what Glen Ordway and Gary Tanguay think so he forces Ainge to trade for someone who will fill seats. I am running away from the Celtics. In three years Ainge will be gone, Doc will be fired and These guys will sell the team. I'd buy a Cavs jersey but their uniforms are ugly as shit.
willie, I completely agree that Ainge will gone in three years, and if this deal is any indication, he'll probably be happy to leave
I actually think he'll be gone by the end of next year. From what I've read and heard in the last 24 hours it sounds like he didn't want to make this deal.
yeah, absolutely, this deal makes him look like a moron to the other GMs and has blog writers like me suggesting that he's retarded. I'd quit too.
It was renting a player in his prime years. But who knows, maybe Ainge has a blockbuster trade lined up for right after the finals involving Pierce and Walker packaged for the baby bulls lineup to compliment our young players.
Or maybe not.
I bought into his 'vision' for a while, now fart in his general direction.
Is this what happens when you don't drink?
I read that in Ainge's conference call with the season ticket holders that he's saying Blount will most likely go to the bench. Silver lining I guess. also, they raved on and on about Delonte and didn't mention Banks.
How many C's fans traded in their season tickets for a roll of Scott's toilet paper after yesterday's "news?" This franchise has sunk so low, it's frightening. There's no rational explanation other than perhaps they think 'Toine will draw a few more fans into the Fleet. Anyone thinking rationally knows that 'Toine couldn't draw flies on the hefty piece of shit lodged in my jaw.
Write the number 8 on that piece of shit in your jaw, maybe it'll go down easier.
Odd coincidence or premonition? Look at this quote from Dr. Chestnutt after a Celtics game earlier this year against the Hawks.
"The same kinds of people who think the X-Files is real will probably think that he’s setting us up for an Antoine Part II trade, but I think the man is simply sentimental and what’s wrong with that".
It's hard to derive a lot of future portent from the Jazz game since Utah
has been playing poorly and beset by injuries, but I will say that:
1)While West is more of an hybrid than a pure PG, he can really shoot from the PG spot and that is always an advantage.
2)Banks was a draft reach by Ainge since he's essentially a change of pace guard and you find those types in the second round or free agency, but he may suffice in that role.
Just as long as he's not starting or his main responsibility is running the team.
3)Walker played well and more under control than Pierce, then again, the
matchup was in Toine's favor, so he
had a chance to shine, rather than being exposed as usual by someone like Duncan or Okafor, etc. who could shut him down.
4) The thing with Walker is that both his inside game and outside shooting fluctuate so widely that, he can't be your first option ever at either,
and he lacks the quickness to guard small forwards. Which is why, if the Celtic
Good points Ray. I laugh at the idiots who said AW wouldn't take away much time from AJ and Perk. 12 and DNP.
Fucking enraging. AJ hits three consecutive shots in the 2nd, and then he's out for AW.
wow, Ray you pretty much said everything that needs to be said about last night. Antoine playing more under control then Pierce was a surprise, but you're 100% right - he had the better match up and an opportunity to shine. I also think he'll cut down on the threes and go inside until he gets comfortable with the situation (or catches wind that the owners want to re-sign him), and then... well God help us all.
Also, as much as I can't stand Banks, if Doc uses him like he did last night, I'd be fine with him. Great points Ray.
PO - did you notice how unhappy Raef, Pierce and Perk all looked? Also, was Ricky coming down off a 48 hour crack jag? Jesus, I love the guy but he seemed completely out of it.
Why'd the seven foot pussy get so much playing time? The only positive to this trade is if it gets that asshole off the floor. If the plan is to take minutes away from Al and Kendrick, then we're actually regressing in terms of the team.
The seven foot pussy being relegated to the bench is the best thing about this trade. I thought Raef was pissed because of foul trouble, Perk definitely looked pissed but he's the twelth man so who gives a fuck, Pierce was pissed because he was out of control and committing tons of fouls. Walker brought tons of heart to the team though, a team that was dull stagnant and infuriating. At least they are entertaining now. Who exposes Toine first, the Suns of the Lakers?
Don't know if I can stomach seeing the seven foot pussy and McFarty on the same court again tomorrow night. Maybe I'll do something more pleasurable, like an enema.
is the 7 ft pussy going to keep wearing the 6'10" pussy's sweatbands for this game?
And the jockstrap around his head?
Ug. Walker, McFarty, PP and a seven foot pussy all on the court at the same time. If this happens, I'll shit my pants.
Yeah Dr., they look thrilled about the new sherrif in town. I love how every fucking quote AW get in something about staying on long term.
Please God, no.
Ricky may have been off on his shots in Utah, but was killing it at the stripe. He attempted 10 buckets, and had 17 points. I would take that any day of the week.
When our 84 inch pussy hugs their 82 inch pussy tonight, I think I'll probably throw up.
Anyone seen Al Jefferson or Kendrick Perkins play since 'Toine got back? Me neither. I guess we really aren't planning for the future, let's try to get bumped out of the playoffs by Detriot this year, what do you say?
Right on Ricky D. Those guys are getting buried right now.
