Look at this. How can I have any respect for someone who has yet to write anything of any substance or worth? Besides, look at your post I quoted. Do you think you make sense?

I might not make sense to you but quite frankly I didn't sign up here to make sense to you or anyone else. We are here to agree and disagree. Just because you disagree with me there's no need to start attacking me personally. I am not a child. I don't care who you are you don't talk to me like that. I signed up to talk about basketball. I did not sign up to become friends with you. So with all respect to you, do me a favor and NEVER ever reply or post in my threads again. Now it's YOUR turn to do some homework.

Saying anyone can be a COACH... how much do you make...30....40 grand sitting behind some computer writing jibberish ?

If you're so smart then go and coach something.

I'm not sure if you're capable to coach in pre-school...none the less NBA.

So long.

You must not be a very good student because you're referring to things I didn't say. That's part of reading comp. If you want to grow up and make more than 30~40 grand I make, you should try to get good grades and go to a good college. That is unless, you're the next Lebron.

But you're right. There is no need to keep doing this. I apologize for trying to teach you something.

I do like your avatar though.

Nah bro, he couldn't hurt my feelings even if he tried. I am a grown up and I avoided this after all. But when you make things personal then I get upset.

I'm sure most of you would too.

I think Sammy is going to redeem himself before all is said and done.

I think Sammy is going to redeem himself before all is said and done.

Maybe you're right, but I think it's that kind of false-hope that's making Doc play Sam. But think about it. Even if he does play well, he still doesn't play any D and therefore disrupts our entire defense. He also slows down the offense and makes us extremely stagnant and predictable. And those aren't variables, but constant while he's in there. I don't know if all that's worth a few shots he may potentially make.

If he proves me wrong and play great D, keep the ball moving, etc., I'll be the first one to admit that I was wrong, but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen. At some point, it's better to cut your loss than keep chasing false hope. That's how all those people addicted to gambling keep coming back for more, even after losing.

Most Shockingly Bad Performance by a Player with a Clutch History: Sam Cassell, Celtics

Boston picked up Sam I Am because they wanted a guy with a history of hitting big shots in the playoffs. Instead he's been firing up ill-advised jumpers and getting torched on defense. For the postseason he's shooting 33.8 percent, and he's shooting a lot -- 17.0 field goal attempts per 40 minutes.

He also hasn't scored a basket since the first half of Game 2, missing 17 consecutive shots from the field, and it's not like he's been whizzing passes to open teammates to make up for it.

Part of the problem is that Boston might have placed too much faith in him -- it has been using him a lot in fourth quarters and game-ending situations even as he's imploded at both ends. It's cost the Celtics in a few of their road losses, most notably Game 6 in Atlanta.

Given that he only played five minutes in Game 5, one suspects the Celtics have noticed too. Look for him to have a much shorter leash for the rest of the playoffs.

Wooooooo Cassell!?!!?

[tombattor]

Thanks birdman. Unfortunately, I don't have enough faith in Doc to believe that we'll actually have a shorter leash on Cassell. Basically everyone and their mother knows Cassell is killing this team, but those people don't include Doc.

FU Doc and double FU Cassell!

[Tricky Ricky]

TOMBATTOR: BRING IT ON!

DIESEL CELTIC: OH ITS BEEN BROUGHT!

[GuyClinch]

Tombattor is right about Cassell. Listen I don't care if he is "DUE" for a big game even if he HAS ONE!

The problem with this theory is what about all the OTHER GAMES he was KILLING US in. Doesn't that count for something? It's an opportunity cost thing.

Had Eddie or TA had those minutes maybe we don't lose all those road games. Let's say for the sake argument Sam is great 1 out of 8 games. I'd rather have a guy who is decent 6 out of 8..wouldn't you?

I know it's bad karma to will ill fortune on a Celtics' player, but I would sleep better at night if Sam were to hurt himself running into a Big Baby screen during practice.

I can even sleep well with worse, if that means he won't play again for the Celtics.

Cassell is making me wish we had West as our backup!

Eddie House tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tombattor]

About **** time. But considering Doc is the dumbest coach in basketball, we'll probably see that cock sucker for 20+ minutes again. Doc should be fired immediately.
