he's taken a total of 3 non-threes in the last 4 games?

Looks like he hit one, though. So, bright side.

Kawhi will not be a Raptor next season. Lowry is a joke.

I can't wait until D-Wade retires. For a guy who claimed he didn't want a farewell tour, he is milking the hell out of it by doing the jersey exchange at the end of games. I pray that we boo the hell out of him during his last game in Boston, but seeing as how we sent Kobe off with cheers and a chant, I'm not too confident in this happening. **** that guy for costing us a legit chance at a title in 2011.

And so ends the Cavs stranglehold on the East...

The most nauseating thing is that the media tries to portray him as this innocent "class act."

KG sets a hard screen, and it's "DIRTIEST PLAYER EVER!" Dwyane Wade rips Rondo's arm out of its socket, kicks people in the nuts and throws elbows at people's heads and he's "a class act."

Funny how that works.

I am watching the Portland feed tonight. The camera panned the Houston "crowd". The lower level is probably 60% full. The Rocket players look like they are on day 7 of the Bataan death march. This will not end well.

Yeah. Last night was complete BS too. "Lebron vs Wade one last time"!!!! Who cares? I can't remember one single game when these 2 played against each other. Never faced each other in the playoffs either. I'm glad many people on social media called the NBA out for hyping that trash.

And1s for any anti-Wade post. I will give him that he played his *** off. But, overall he's a dirty punk.

Whenever Wade comes up in conversation, the first image that comes to my mind is that GIF of him being a crybaby on the floor.

Finally something that Raps and Celtics fans can agree about.... EFF WADE!!!!

I really liked him his first couple of seasons where it looked like he just played hard and made an impact in many ways, but his ego got the best of him and then he turned in to his cocky and dirty player. The whole Heatles coming together soured me on all three of Lebron, Bosh and Wade.

Pistons active on the trade market.. They have to be praying the market is bad enough that they can get Wall or Beal..

After the last win of course they had to ask Jaylen about Lebron and Wade because that's all the media wants to talk about.

Watch on YouTube

He was asked which player he modeled his game most after he answered Wade.

BTW Kevin McHale had the best question.

"Hey Jaylen. It's Kevin McHale here. Do me a favor. Would you ask Danny if he ever beat me 1 on 1 and then get back to me and see what he says. Cuz I know he'll lie to you."

Robert Sarver attempting to blackmail the city of Phoenix by threatening to move the Suns to Vegas or Seattle if they don't fund his arena. Not surprising. He has always been a POS.

It would be sad to see the Suns move, but I hope Phoenix doesn't cave. Sick and tired of billionaires trying to extort money from taxpayers to fund their toys. They should have learned their lesson when they bent backwards to keep their hockey team, which is still bleeding money.

Having the "Suns" in Seattle would be the best thing since having the "Jazz" in Salt Lake City.

Wasn't that Your hockey team?

A few days to go and trade restrictions disappear for many who signed new deals.

Not big for Boston, only Baynes and two minimum guys, but maybe someone that the Celtics want will be available. Frye, J Crawford.

Ariza is the one that goes first? GM LeBron already has the deal done?

Pope and a pick for Ariza? Pope gets bought-out, Agent LeBron gets moeny from that.

The trade restriction for LeBron also goes away in a few days. Rondo has the best percentage from long range for the Lakers? Can't be bothered looking it up, just read a headline for that.

Is Ariza still useful? Does anybody watch the Suns? lol

His net rating is awful, but so are the Suns, so...

Indeed, and if it weren't for the city bailing them out, we could have had them back again in 2010. Thankfully the deal fell apart, because that franchise was a mess and devoid of any talent or prospects. It would have been like Seattle acquiring the Nets or Cavs of today.

CeltsfanSinceBirth · Post #320 » by **CeltsfanSinceBirth** » Thu Dec 13, 2018 1:27 am

If the Lakers do acquire Trevor Ariza, the league should do what they did to Philly and force the Suns to hire another GM, because thus far, every move James Jones has made has been to Lebron's benefit.
