Boston Sports Discussion

I'm hoping they got Shaq on ice right now for the sole reason of having a healthy Shaq in the playoffs

Why are the Celtics pushing all of their chips in this year? Are the big 3 all going to be due contracts next year?

[Nalej]

No. I think Garnett is due up though. Could be wrong.
Either way, I just think with the age factor of them all, its pretty much win now.
That's why the Perk move was so puzzling, bc it disrupted chemistry.
I do like Greens versatility though. Another vet C who's a defensive specialist would be nice ala Theo Ratliff

[proshoota25]

troy murphy signs with the celts. this guy will help out during the stretch run. celtics apparently have serious interest in corey brewer. brewer is a tony allen type and can help lock down kobe, wade in playoff series. I really hope we can get him as well, considering he did go to florida :-p..... we have some interest in dan gadzuric but i could care less about him lol

[Nalej]

Yea, I could care less about Dan. Do we have space for Brewer on the roster? lol
Seems like we have 489498 people on it already

brewer took much more money to sign with dallas. celtics instead have signed sasha pavlovic..... who you may recall played on some of lebron's playoff teams

The biggest surprise out of all of the Celtics moves is that none of the new white guys are wearing Ainge's #44.

I've been such a bad baseball fan this week with all this Bruins excitement(I've come to really enjoy hockey this year, although I don't know much about it) and the draft. Red Sox have things together a little bit now though.

[nepg]

Bruins "excitement"? No. Anxiety. I'm soooo tired of them drawing the Habs in the playoffs. I'm probably going to be a terrible baseball fan for most of the season. I'm just not able to get into the Red Sox with the way they put their 2011 squad together... Makes me a little sick.

[ElectricEye]

I really don't get up in arms about baseball players and money. It's whatever. Baseball is basically capitalism...it's not fair, but it's not going to change(not to imply capitalism is bad haha). I really like watching Gonzalez hit.

I would love to see Crawford hit...

[ElectricEye]

He's doing a little bit better from what I've seen. Put some good swings on the ball lately. He has some mechanical issues right now from what I gather.

[Nalej]

Yea, CC has been playing much much better as of lately.
His average is still crap but only bc his start to the season was epically terrible
Ellsbury and AGonz are on friggin' fire right now...
We're not where we want to be but we're playing good baseball now.
So that's a plus.
Hopefully Dice-K's injury isn't serious. He's been on fire!


Bring on the Heat! Bring on the Fliers!

[ElectricEye]

So how do you guys feel about the UMass football thing? I'm intrigued, personally. We've had threads on here before about how Boston College will just never really truly take over the area and establish themselves as our college team. I live like ten minutes away from Gillette, so going to some of those games for short money has some appeal to me. It will be interesting to see if they can build a program here.

[Nalej]

Haven't heard much about it, honestly.
I'll be rooting for them regardless. Penn State alum or not!

So what's good with Lackey? Besides sucking, I mean.

Where do the Celtics go from now?
We need to trade for D.Howard!!! (pipe dream, I know)
Starting C and a backup SG is what we need IMO

[Jvig43]

We need to murder Jeff Green is what we need to do. That trade ruined our season, back to back games Green turned it over with second left with the score tied to give the Heat break aways to win it. I ******* hate that guy.
