Around the NBA (Non-Celtics) 2019-2020, Part 2 – "The Bubble Bunch"

[Darth Celtic]

I saw Al Horford trending on Twitter, and not in a good way. So I looked up Anna -- and found that she claims to be unlike some women I have known.

Read on Twitter

That's pretty awesome, good for Al. Find a girl who loves you like Anna love Al. Bonus points for offending old nerds on the internet.

Also Memphis lost, finally the Kings do something good for the Celtics.

Excuse me?

Lannister or Horford?

**** excuse me?

So retired Mods are free to violate Real GM TOS. Go for it, jack.

I am indeed ‘mature’ & very academically nerdy (& **** proud of it), but my T is very much intact.

My reaction probably relates to having 2 daughters in her age range. She can stand by her **** BROTHER, & not broadcast her genital satisfaction count.

My reaction relates to people being offended by a woman talking about sex on the internet. If you are offended by this and fall into this category, that's on you. I didn't quote you or refer to you, so if you self identify as an old nerd I dunno how you could even be offended; I make no judgment either way except that I enjoy when people are upset about a woman talking about sex on the internet.

if I violated some sort of TOS, I guess report me.

Nope.

Dear God Anna Horford is hot.

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

Raptor fans starting to get on my nerves, acting like what Nurse did by playing Kemba big minutes was a genius move, when in reality, he was just a moron who cost his team the game by not making any substitutions.

Wow, to drop a game with two high seeded playoff teams and add a game featuring a team that's 5 games under .500 is absurd. The Zion love is disgusting. Espn is a disgrace. A Zion load management game here would be so fitting.

[Bleeding Green]

Utah is boring; Zion and the Pelicans will be vying for a playoff spot and are significantly more fun to watch for most viewers. Plus does anyone actually want to listen to the ESPN broadcasters for a Celtics game?

[bucknersrevenge]

You know I feel bad saying this since I used to be a big fan of Al and Anna, but Anna really tries to work guys up on twitter at times if you catch my drift.

Like I seen her posting sexy pics and still flirting with Celtics fans and she mentions sex a lot.

And I think her brother is stupid now so whatever.

I've dated more than my fair share of gals that needed social media to justify their existence in life. It's all insecurity. I see a trace of that kind of behavior I run to the hills, ain't playin that game.

Not trying to dump on her too much. I'm her age basically and a woman too. She's attractive and has been given a platform due to her brothers fame.

However, I kinda just don't dig her style. Or maybe it's just not my style. Then again I'm such a basketball freak for just the basketball at times it's disgusting.

On the plus side her brother is being bashed a lot online (and even booed live) by Philly fans so it might be a way to distract them. She didn't seem too thrilled with the move from Boston to Philly from the get go.

If it was Al's brother and not his sister, this wouldn't even be a topic of discussion. Women are often held to a different standard.

How is Utah boring? That's a damn good team that's well coached. Nobody will want to draw them in the playoffs.

For the casual basketball viewing public, they're much more boring than watching the Pelicans, who have the most exciting rookie since LeBron (on top of other exciting players like Ingram, Ball, Hayes). There is a reason that despite being really good Utah doesn't play on national TV pretty much ever.

Exciting doesn't equal good but ok.

MLE possibility? Tatum can recruit him. Possible Semi replacement?

1 game

i mean, he's still averaging like 7 fouls per 36. He's got to fix that. Even the last ten he's 6fouls per 36, nothing there is changing.

he's like a more hated by the refs version of Theis.

Only referenced the tweet more for his contract status than the one good game he had today.

MLE players don't usually play more than 20 mpg so foul trouble wouldn't be an issue, at least not initially. At that money (doesn't even need to be full MLE), you're betting on the talent, which he's always had. Get him in a better org and under a better coach, gamble might be worth it. More worth it than picking up Semi's option.

every time i've seen him play i just think "what a stiff". how in the world was he the top rated HS prospect? I know his knees both were crap and it takes time if you are ever going to come back, but I think he's kind of Leon Powe without the talent and will be out of the league thanks to those knees in 3-4 years regardless.

Here's yet another article on yet another chapter of this saga: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28758870/doc-rivers-wants-ray-allen-kevin-garnett-celtics-jersey-retirement

Same old, same old... until this Haslem nugget:

Allen joined some of his former Heat teammates to celebrate Dwyane Wade's jersey retirement and the Celtics rift came up again when Udonis Haslem said he would fight any former Celtics who still have a problem with Allen if need be.

"Once we knew you were one of us, it was all love," Haslem said. "If they got a problem with you, they still got a problem with us then. Whatever that is. Whatever they want to do. We old, D-Wade retired, CB [Chris Bosh] retired, we got nothing to do but fight. So if they want to fight, we can fight."

Wait... What?

I don't disagree. The fact is that the Pelicans will draw more viewers than the Jazz.

[Darth Celtic]

Imagine if the Hornets didn't draft Monk and got Mitchell or anyone else instead.. That dude is so bad.

Under normal circumstances this should seem normal. Allen left Boston and helped Miami win a championship. Now he is one of them. And Miami should love him for that. And he should love Miami back. But instead all we hear from him Allen is sour grapes and wanting to defend his actions to Boston.

In the end this is the tragedy of Ray Allen. He really does not regard his ring with Miami the same way as his one in Boston. And looking back at his career he is far more concerned about his legacy with Boston than his legacy with Miami. If he had to do it all over again I can bet you he would trade in that Miami ring for a jersey hung from the rafters in Boston like Garnett is going to have.

[Celtics_History_Lesson]

Tall Canadian in Miami, 3 for 3 from 3.

Ainge Cartel are losers.


Benedict Alford in Philadelphia, he and his team are in Milwaukee, 0 for 3 from 3.

Little Al is sad, slow, and very overpaid. Money can't buy you happiness, Al.



NBA refs actually call a travel in Milwaukee, but it was against the player who The Greek Fork was defending.



Kevin Love refusing to play. Unable to shoulder the load despite the money.



Need to ban the Horford family from here.

Horrible people, attention-seeking nobodies.

Their claim to fame is that they are related to Tito.
