News and Notes
-No game for the Celtics today. No, it isn't the offseason yet.
-LaMarcus Aldridge has declared for the draft, which increases the Celtics' chances of getting him by a billion percent. I just hope he has a couple crappy workouts, some Europeans come out of nowhere and get taken in the top five, and LaMarcus drops into our laps in the eighth spot. Whatever the Celtics do, they should NOT draft this Tiago Splitter dude and make the same mistake that the Orlando Magic did with Fran Vazquez last year. That guy still plays overseas. Apparantly, Splitter doesn't know whether he wants to come over to the states. A little advice for all you NBA GM's- if a guy doesn't know if he wants to play for you, it's probably not a great idea to take him with your first round pick. It's a coin flip when it comes to whether a player will be good or not, and it doesn't help your odds if the dude never shows up.
-Tyrus Thomas is in the draft, and he's being compared to Stromile Swift. Is that a compliment? The best contribution that Stro has given the NBA is this video.
-Steve Francis says that he isn't to blame for his crappy play for the Knicks, saying that he needs more consistant playing time. This is one of those things- if you play badly when you're only in there for five minutes, why should you play more? It doesn't make sense.
-Former Celtic and current dirtiest player in the league Bruce Bowen is matched up against his nemesis Ray Allen and the Sonics tonight. Last time they played, Bowen kicked Allen in the back, then ran away like a pansy and pretended that nothing happened.
"I didn't kick him in the back! What are you talking about?"
"Um... clearly you did. We have it on video. Here you are, kicking him in the back."
"In that case, I apologize."
Bowen has also kicked Wally World in the face, elbowed Brent Barry in the face, and undercut Michael Finley. Yet, somehow, amid all this, Bowen manages to attack those who complain about his dirty-as-a-French-whore playing style. You can always count on Bowen grabbing his man when they go around screens, undercutting him on rebounds, and kicking him in the back when he's on the ground.
Bruce Bowen is one of the top ten reasons why the NBA needs to improve its refs. I know you're reading this, Bruce, so CLEAN IT UP.
