I was reading something recently about him running around in his underwear a lot

weird!

Yeah, if you want drama and weirdness, the Lakers will always oblige. I hope this works out. The guy's not exactly at the top of his form, mentally or otherwise, anymore.

I'm sorry Ariza's gone. I liked that guy, and he was only getting better. I hope Artest works out and they can keep Odom.

Lamar signs with Lakers

Whew!

(giant sigh of relief)

GO LAKERS

Eh, I knew he'd sign all along... now I've got a hankerin' for some delicious BBQ

He tried to play tough, but in the end, he's still Jerry's bitch.

Bad break for the Celtics.

No, Steady, that's Yao that will be out for the season, not KG. Keep fishing though.

Please. Look up "non-factor" in the dictionary and there's a picture of the Celtics.
The east is gonna be Cavs or Magic or some other "not the Celtics" team. You guys have about 21 years to go until your next finals appearance.

Sorry, but the last time we won a title prior to 2008, we ripped off three in 5 years.

The operative words there being "ripped off"

Now, the Celtics can just R.I.P.

I owe ya lunch.

I know, Steady, you're just dying to have the chance to tell me "See, we have more titles than you, neener neener" - because you still have to invent some bizarre excuse why all the titles the C's won in the 60's don't mean anything.

But, unfortunately for you, that still hasn't happened, despite all your teeth-gnashing and trash-talking.

PS: Just to tweak you a bit.

Since the Lakers moved to Los Angeles....

- The Celtics and Lakers have faced each other 10 times in the Finals. The Celtics have won 8 of those meetings.

- The Lakers have been to 20 finals during that span, losing 12.

- The Celtics have been to 16 finals during that span, winning 14. (congrats, the LAL is still the only team to beat the C's when it matters most. Too bad you didn't do it very often)

- Total 60+ win seasons during that time: Celtics 13, Lakers 11.

- Total playoff appearances: Celtics 36, Lakers 45. (Hey, congrats, you won a stat! :D)

BTW, Steady....

You keep jawing about 21 years of irrelevance....

The C's were in the playoffs every year between 2001-2004 - they went to the ECF in 2001.

The only significant playoff gap in C's history was the expected 2-year lull after Larry Bird retired (coupled with the deaths of Reggie Lewis and Len Bias) and the subsequent 4-year disaster of an experiment with Rick Pitino as HC.

The Celtics 60's titles count. I don't think I said they didn't. I started following the NBA and the Lakers in 1971 and that the Lakers have the most titles between then and now.

And you also said that "those titles before 1971 don't matter because I wasn't around for them" - which was total BS.

In any case, right now clearly you are the one tweaking, mostly due to you knowing how much better the Lakers are than the Celtics - right now - and will be for the next several years. And that's got to be killing you, knowing you have only the past to cling to.

The great thing about the Lakers is that they not only have a storied history as do the Celtics, but a much brighter present and future than the Celts.

No kidding?

Kobe may only be 31, but he's got 13 seasons on those legs, plus an Olympic appearance last year - which means he's been going non-stop for the last two years.

If he actually makes it through 82 games this year without a major injury, I'll be stunned.

Hell, I'll go so far as to bet you $20 that Kobe won't play 75 games this year.

Total BS??? You're entirely negating the SteadyB Era??? Shame on you! Shame!

Article in the paper about Kurt Rambis most likely going to the T'Wolves...replacing McHale.

Defensive stalwart Bruce Bowen retiring from NBA

Best,

Geoff

Hey, the preseason has started. That's something, right? Rockets are already 1-0. Woo hoo.




I know, I'm just kidding. I know what preseasons are worth.

Rambis replacing McHale? I need to ask Ms. Morrissette whether that's ironic.

Rockets now 2 - 0!!!!!




Yeah yeah yeah, preseason. Heck they played this game in a D-League arena in Hidalgo. Though it was cool that they give fans down there a chance to see the top level NBA.

So, does anyone subscribe to any of the NBA packages on satellite? I've been thinking about it.

I think the best thing the Cav's could do it limit Shaq to one game a week until they reach the playoffs.

Pacers looked good against the Nuggets in Taipei this morning. Hopefully they can put together a decent season this year...

Well.....the season may already be decided, and things are looking good for Griff.

Zoom to 3:20



Celtics have some added punch in their corner this season, in the form of some serious prayer oil!!!!

Anything iiiiissssss POOOOOSSSSSSSIIIIIBBBLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!!

When's Raja Bell gonna retire?
