Gm74 Celtics vs PHO Suns (Mon March 26th - WIN 102-94)

OUCH.... missed the late game....



needed my beauty rest though.

TRo obviously tired this game after launching 12 treys (8 made) last night, exploding for 33 pts.



Tonight, 11 treys (8 duds).... bad fuses???

Some heat check, amigos.

Pud

Oooop.... 7 duds, not 8!

Not exactly but ill meet ya half way          Rozier was hotter than a firecracker he deserves the most credit.

Remember he was the one you didn't like. 

Watch those children please.


Cali is an accident waiting to happen

I'm happy with Rozier now, as I've stated many times. Not difficult to admit when one is wrong...............you should try it sometimes.

Brad is a great NBA coach - it's really not that hard to say!!

well I beg to differ...Cali is the leading edge of humanity...and I say that with a all seriousness...California is so ahead of the rest of the United States that it is embarrassing...everything starts here...and everything grows from here...this is truly the only real melting pot in the US...the east is stagnant, nothing changes there...you can talk Sweden or some other progressive country, but California is the leader of the Americas...flat out like a lizard drinking...

I apologize for getting political here but I must set you straight on California where I have lived the past 50 years.

This is what happens when Democrats run your state ….

I Came here 50 years ago and it was the Golden State with sunshine, mediterranean weather, beautiful beaches, scenery etc. The state is bankrupt …we are a one party state !!! we are the Greece of the US. Yup, we are a Blue State, about 75-80% are Democratic voters and the government like happens in socialism feels it knows what's best for the people and the economy. We have the worst credit rating of any state. Because of government regulations many companies are leaving and our population is dwindling. The biggest reason is that our Democratic politicians vote themselves very high salaries. We have massive pension plan debt. A few cities have declared bankruptcy. Is the state on course to be next ? Amazing that some state troopers make $100,000 per year. Used to be good salaries for Doctors and Lawyers. Just in Los Angeles City Councilmen make more than US senators. Our California teachers are paid the highest yet our students are 48 th in Math and 49 th in Reading. We have the highest poverty rate and most amount of people on welfare and supporting these people costs about 1 Billion per year. I will be ashamed showing any family and friends where I live in Marin County(north of Golden Gate bridge) highways when they visit…..I’m sure those who have been here have seen the trash along the roads. Why not take a few Prisoners from San Quentin to clean up this mess But you know, all these welfare/unemployed people are voters and will vote Democratic to keep their benefits. How do the leaders feel they can pay for all this…tax the rich (I’m not opposed to doing so to the Hollywood Elite/Movie industry). Thank God Trump is President and not socialist Hillary and/or Bernie or our country would be following California’s believing the government knows what is best for the people. I wanted a government interested in getting people off welfare and food stamps by creating job opportunities. I didn't like many things about Trump, politically, I felt he could be a loose cannon with our allies. However, the main thing I liked was his business acumen. If he can get more companies to come here or not go abroad, that creates jobs and the gov profits with income taxes on those people and on the companies' increased revenues. Heck, China has $1.2 trillion of our bonds and is no longer interested in lending us money. What do we do when they want to get paid ? If you can Believe the Democrats, LEFTISTS at Large, and the Sycophant Mainstream Media . . . The Booming Stock Market, Exploding Manufacturing, Unbelievable Tax Reform, the LOWEST Unemployment Figures in Recent History, Especially for American Blacks & Latinos, Salary Hikes Across the Board, Tax Reductions, Bonus Checks for the Working Class, 3-4% GDP . . . PLUS FAIR & EQUITABLE TRADE DEALS, None of it is Because of President Donald Trump, IT IS BECAUSE OF THE LEGACY OF “HUSSEIN" OBAMA.

OK, you on the left. Let me have it if you wish. I am a Marine with broad shoulders & thick skin !!!

I did i said i was wrong about Tatum.

looks like i opened a can of worms here without taking the bait and getting nasty.

I loved Cali Elvis but go up to the Emerald Triangle the pot farms are full of OPIATES AND Meth. have ruined the land and a lot of people.

I have mixed emotions Elvis and i actually lived there i wasn't a tourist.

Damn Pud the Rondo and 45 thing isn't working as bait. Try something new is my advice i still have a temper you just arn't smart enough to bring in out it seems.

yOUR A ''LOONIE''  

My two cents - I would really, really, really like to stick to basketball. My story, as many of you know is this - I was pretty much forced to move here 11 years ago. I teach in a suburb of LA. Red Sox are liked, Pats are loved or hated, but the Celtics? I'm on an island out here in lakerland!! If I lived back where I belonged, I wouldn't need to post here because I'd be among friends. I post here because I need the passion for my team that is otherwise lacking out here where, of course, next year they are getting Paul George, LeBron AND Kawhi!!
The country is divided enough as it is, IMO, and it pains me to come to a Celtics web-site and read about politics. Just a suggestion, of course, I'm not in charge of anything, but I shan't respond to any more political diatribes, but will be happy to discuss OUR basketball team.
Thus endeth the rant!

I mention the foul shots as only part of the statistics of that game & not the main reason we lost but it was a total of 42 to 18 and they got 21 not 20 in the 4th Qtr. This is why we lost….they killed the “Cs" with reb advantage 53 to 40 ( I mean 13 extra chances) and only shot 38% and we did 42% but the extra chances killed us. Gasol schooled KG out rebounding him 18 to 3. I wish we had picked up Gasol a couple of years ago. Not soft…always liked him. I mean when Kobe shoots 6 for 24 or 25% and is MVP it was painful. He’d been a goat had they lost. Sorry you feel I am crying about that game…a fan has a right to lament. Many comments in the papers and it was because of the foul shot difference…again, that is not why they lost….was that it was a "Tainted Tinsel Town “ victory. If any of you love the Red Sox as I do you’ll know our main adversary has been the Yankees and for SF teams it is mostly the LA teams. I loved when the Lakers were the best as were the Celtics in their divisions years ago before the LeBron era to go to Warrior games and hear “Beat LA, Beat LA”.

"we all know that"...who, the cronies who love your posts ?

I didn’t go into the Military because I was “Gung Ho”. I was drafted & chose USMC and unless I went to Canada, jail, shot myself in the foot or said I was gay. I needed serve my obligation. Regarding intelligence, unless one gets a battlefield commission, one needs a college degree to be an Officer not that that alone is a criterion of intelligence. But one then goes to OCS, Basic school at Quantico, and completing intelligence tests and physical ones, ones starts as a 2nd Lt.

Sorry I continue with this non sport topic but I must defend the Military and the Marines. High intelligence or not, the Military is needed…anyone wish to dispute that. And, yes, I was drafted, had to go, but today it is voluntary and offers many employment, opportunities to learn something if their MOS is not infantry to be used in civilian life and also compensation for a college degree. And I feel too that if an illegal immigrant serves honorably, that person deserves to become an American citizen. Yup, for many of us our sports stars are heroes but so aren’t many of our military who put their lives on the line to enable us to enjoy our freedoms.

I copy and paste the following about the egregious comments from a teacher…..

El Rancho Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to terminate the teacher.

A high school student who had received death threats for recording his teacher's anti-military rant said Thursday that he's happy the school board fired the teacher, and that "nobody deserves to be hurt."
Victor Quinonez, who aspires to join the U.S. Marine Corps, used his cellphone to capture his teacher, Gregory Salcido, slamming service members as the "the lowest of our low.” Class subject or grade not given.

READ FULL ARTICLE
Salcido was removed from his assignments as a city councilman after the audio went viral, and even triggered a response from the Pentagon.

“We've got a bunch of dumbs---s over there," Salcido had said of military personnel. "Think about the people who you know who are over there. Your freaking stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumbs‑‑‑s. They’re not like high-level thinkers, they’re not academic people, they’re not intellectual people. They’re the lowest of our low."

200-plus page report following an investigation. Found that Salcido had been engaging in similar conduct for a number of years.

"In Mr. Quinonez's case, he went after him because of his connection [to] the military. But there was also some evidence indicating that he went after students based on their religion, gender and potentially even race and national origin," McCardle said.
