Monta with a nice go ahead drive. Wish we had that. 48pts. Be nice if he can get a game winner in and eclipse Kobe for best scoring night of the season.

Not game winner, just another shot so he gets 50 then the Thunder win. :D they're my second favorite team.

I watched it. A game close through out tops a lopsided game and comeback. It's just my opinion but I'd rather watch 4 quarters of great basketball from 2 teams then a couple great quarters from both

He was being sarcastic, he was talking about our 56 point game.

I like it, but who would start for Boston at PG? Maybe we could add Nelson to this deal and get McDyess expiring contract plus a 1st in 2012.

Bynum / McDyess
Ryan / Glen Davis
Jrich / Q / Clark
JJ / Wafer
Rondo / Ish

Then next season we would have JJ, Jrich, Glen, our 1st and Boston's to address our needs at 2 and 3.

*** assuming we trade Hedo and Duhon to LA.

This seems like a ton of speculation and not a good fit. Why would the Celtics give up their PG for another big?

Somehow, I think these "Sources" to these "Rumors" are from Lakers fans that get this started. Then, the media, Twitter and Message boards take over. How else are the Media going to make money during a couple of slow days conspiracy wise.

Well, over at TrueBlue Catman (who seems to be pretty well respected on that board, has been there for over 5 years, he broke the Phoenix trade before it happened) the Magic are going to make one more run at Monta.

Apparently, we have been talking to them for clear over a year about getting him, and that getting him would help tons with keeping Dwight. Just waiting on the March 1st date, so that we can trade more.

I know it might seem unlikely, but if talks have been going on for a over a year, some progress has to have been made.

The gist of the year's convo:

Otis: Hi I'm looking for a friend of mine. Last name Jass, first name Hugh.
Warriors GM: F off Otis.
