John Wall's first career triple double tonight

How is the Team of the Decade 5-3?

Bosh was overrated and there is no real physical presence inside.

All summer, all I could ever think when I saw a story on the Heat was "Isn't it cute how Chris Bosh thinks he's in the same league as Wade and LeBron?" I almost felt bad for him.

In other news, Joakim Noah calls Kevin Garnett "ugly". Look, I'm a KG fan, and even I think his trash-talking gets out of hand sometimes...but for Joakim Noah to call ANYBODY ugly - even Sloth from The Goonies - is laughable. Noah is NBA All-Time Ugly, even worse than Cadillac Anderson.

Celtics vs. Heat part 2 tonight. I'll be putting the Rondo jersey on tonight after work and enjoying this one. Even though Semih has been serviceable off the bench, I really hope we don't have to rely to heavily on him and Shaq and go tonight.

Odds of Pat Reily taking over behind the bench by Thanksgiving?

I think he'll go until at least Christmas to decide. All he needs to do is get a playoff spot and coach the team into shape in the 2nd half. I don't think he wants to have to coach for an entire year when the team can coast and turn it on in the 2nd half.

I noticed the same thing, especially when they were doing anything as a group.
I remember seeing some of the press conference and he was sitting there and James was doing nearly all the talking and just about every question was directed toward James or Wade.

Wonder if he's already beginning to regret the decision. I get the whole winning thing.....but when you're in the prime of your career I don't think you want to play third fiddle.....maybe your final contract you chase the championship.
As I'm typing though he's having a good first half - so maybe he's just off to a slow start this year, we'll see.
Hope the Celtics keep kicking their ass tonight though.

Rondo with 10a's at the half

I don't think he's 40 yet.

Those sleeves are made by Nike. I think they're an under armor type material to keep sweat from running down their arms, and they also have elbow padding to cushion the fall when diving for balls or getting knocked to the floor when driving.

Rondo with 10a's at the half

He's pretty fun to watch. He plays so unique, the way he handles the ball and passes it's really unlike anyone else.

Should have went to the Bulls game tonight. Fun one to watch :lol:
Though won't be much need to play the starters much longer.

i totally agree! sadly i dont own one of his RCs. id like to pick up a Fleer and a Topps.

Other then Brandon Roy, it seems like theres not much RC wise in the 06/07 releases.
I'd like to pick up a Topps Jumbo Box, but not if those are the only two worth pulling.

also, the fleer boxes (thanks to the 20th anni MJ Autos) are crazy expensive

 

[ThoseBackPages]

is this the dawning of the era of the POINT GUARD in the NBA?

 

[mlbsalltimegreats]

Boston Playing well in Miami so far !

 

[mlbsalltimegreats]

Ray Allen just Hitting the 3 all day!

 

[RandomH]

Was at the Bulls game tonight and it was fracking awesome.

 

[gt2590]

LOL'ing at the Heat losing at home to drop to 5-4. Team of the decade huh? :lol:

Maybe LBJ will find this and re-Tweet it later.

And tbp, they went to 3 refs quite a while ago. That's what led to a coupla females making it in.
