Per WT: Celtics Sign D.J. White To Multi-Year Contract

He must be dating Doc Rivers' daughter or something. That's what's up for him though.

^Danny Ainge's glaring mistake.

And I thought Boston is one of the so called smart teams...

Anyone see Chris Paul's latest flop? Dude should be fined out the ass.

If he doesn't get fined, the NBA should just admit they have a different set of rules for stars.

Seriously, the comment that they wanted to stamp out flopping is nothing but lip service unless they are going to start properly punishing this crap.

heat winning 57 to 29 in the 2nd half.

the good news, the heat are expending a lot of energy lately keeping this streak alive. they cant take a night off until the streak is over. so maybe being a +10 point favorite in the finals they will only be a +9 favorite. then again, they will get to rest in the first 2 rounds of the eastern conf playoffs. ok back to +10 favorites.

I was at the Bobcats game and saw it was 27 on the out of town scoreboard and said well that is the end of the streak and then my friend checked on his phone for the final on the way home and neither of us could believe it, they have been making some big comebacks but that is just crazy.

For what it's worth, I called this with my roommates when their streak hit around 11 or 12. I said their streak was going to the mid-20s and stopping with us.

Can you imagine the ESPN guys reporting this?
"So the Miami Heat's historic run has come to end at the hands of the newly rejuvenated Charlotte Bobcats, led by their stars Ke...... Jannero Pargo and Josh McRoberts. No we have no idea who they are either..."

thankfully the league warned chris paul for his flop vs the kings. amazingly it was his 1st warning of the season.

somehow, some way Lamar Odom is among the best defensive players statistically this season. The Clippers are giving up only 99 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor. I just don't know how to explain this.

HornetJail · Post #294 » by **HornetJail** » Sun Mar 24, 2013 9:46 pm

Because he only plays against the opposing bench?

Only guess I have to that. :/

The Clips close out games with him and Griffin though as they don't trust DeAndre. He plays plenty of 4th quarter minutes.

Oh wow, didn't even realize that.

he's not a stupid baller, I guess he just gets in the right spots. :dontknow:

John Wall with 47 tonight. He's proving himself worthy of a max contract this summer.

He's one of my favorite up and coming players but even I don't think he's worth a max contract, at least not yet. No player should be awarded a max contract without ever leading his team to a playoff berth. That's just how I see it.

I tend to agree. He's only in his third year, so there's still time.
