77-38 at halftime!

Re: Celtics Have 77 at the Half

People mistook what I said.

I wasn't implying that at his peak Al will be as good as KG is right now. I was saying in 3 years as KG begins his decline Al will be in his prime and better at that point in time.

KG is a very rare player, no doubt about that.

Man, I don't know about that. KG has a set of skills that will bode well for him even as he declines. I think it will be a good 4-5 years before he begins to decline and even then he will bring things that Jefferson can't. Al will be a good player but I don't see NBA superstar just yet.

Re: 77-38 at halftime!

Anytime you have three guys that average over 20 ppg it's very easy to win throw in a pg that will get 10 and a bench player that gets 10 and you will score around 100 every single game. I just don't see how people doubt the Celtics getting #1 seed in East, when you throw those factors in.

Re: Celtics Have 77 at the Half

This is the one Boston team that I want to succeed.

Same, man. I hope they go all the way, just for KG. I can't think of anyone without a championship that deserves one more.

That's where I'm at. I'd like to see KG finally get his. People don't know what a mess 'Sota was, and that's without them having to face the Lakers, Spurs, Suns, Rockets, Mavs, Old Utah, New Utah, Old Sacramento...It's been a dominant conference, and they gave him a little talent to compliment him one year, only to not re-sign those guys after they made it to the conference Finals. His loyalty was unrewarded in Minny.

Re: Celtics Have 77 at the Half

Hey, I'm happy.


But I do agree you guys are all vastly under rating Al. No other team in the league could offer what the C's did - a young future all star big man (he could be an all star THIS year if Minny does anything, if not he will be a Zach Randolph equivalent), a ton of young talent (Gerald Green - who knows, Ryan Gomes - solid for the next 10 years, Telfair - question mark but looks like he's starting to get it) PICKS, and expiring contract. They got a great package for KG.

But again, I am happy.

That double head fake by KG was disgusting. Just sars-ish.

Re: 77-38 at halftime!

Fans in Boston must be loving life right now.

Re: 77-38 at halftime!

Man, after seeing that score and some highlights it reminded me so much of the 96 Bulls team where they absolutely destroyed opponents at times. And then seeing the players on the bench later relaxing and laughing it up. You guys in Boston are in for a real treat this year.

Re: 77-38 at halftime!

We've already been treated by the Red Sox. The Celtics and Patriots being this good is just icing on the cake.

Re: 77-38 at halftime!

Ohhh, bad timing, Nuggets. OV-ER RA-TED!

You're another *****, huh? Enough. Analysts were saying the Nuggets were supposed to be better than the Celtics this year. And yeah, they're a hell of team. But you need to give the Celtics full credit. They played unbelievable and forced Denver to play the way any team should be playing against our defense.

How was he hating on the Celtics?

You really, really need to calm down. Did you completely miss the post where I said that I'd like to see KG win? I posted that in response to a Nuggets discussion. Take those green tinted glasses OFF man, geez. It's not all about the C's, man. I hope they do well. Just because I think their PG is a liability against Jason Kidd and Chauncey Billups doesn't make me a *****.

Re: 77-38 at halftime!

I haven't watched anything since the first game, but I think the most important thing about the 07-08 Celtics is that they appear to have some direction defensively.

I think hiring Tom Thibodeau is the most underrated, yet important move they made in the off season. He was a Jeff Van Gundy disciple, so he should know a bit about defense. Obviously, Doc Rivers is incapable of doing this, but by getting somebody who is, it drastically increases the likelihood that the Celtics can go far in the playoffs.

I'm just glad that they are competitive again, to be honest. I'm also glad they got rid of that fool Tony Brown as assistant coach. I used to watch some games (not frequently) and see this bozo interviewed at half time, and never, not even once, did this guy provide any insightful comment, just cliched lines:

"Yeah we need to pick up the defensive intensity in the second half. The other team is defeating us on the boards."

I can't even imagine how worthless this guy was when trying to provide instruction to players. Good riddance to this ***.

Lol, Tony Brown was awful. That became clear after a very short period of time.
