News, Notes, and Ben Wallace Bashing
-The Celtics have signed former center Clifford Ray on to their staff to tutor their young big men. Ray most recently worked with Dwight Howard in Orlando, and we all know how that one worked out.
Ray averaged 7 points and 9 rebounds per game during his career. He was known as a fundamentally sound role player throughout his career, and was a crucial player on the Warriors' 1975 NBA championship team.
However, the best Clifford Ray story is when he was at some Sea World-like venue and a dolphin got a bolt stuck in its blowhole.
"Is anyone here a marine biologist?" someone shouted.
"No," said Clifford Ray. "But I happen to be a legendary badass capable of anything."
Ray then, no joke, reached in and pulled out the obstruction, savind the dolphin's life.
I am more excited about the Clifford Ray signing than I was for the Wally-Ricky trade. The best teams in the NBA don't just have great coaches but they have great coaching staffs. The head coach does not spend a lot of time teaching fundamentals to his players.
Doc Rivers is a former point guard- he needs someone to tutor the big men. Al had an uneven season, while Perk had a good one but still wasn't consistant. Both are improving, but it appears to me that they are improving mostly because they get more minutes and are gaining confidence.... not because they are becoming better players.
Clifford Ray is just when these boys need to UNLEASH THE FURY in our big men.
Kudos to whoever had the idea to sign this guy!
-I know the Pistons won tonight, but did you see Ben Wallace in Game 6? He went 0-7 from the free throw line, including two CRUCIAL bricks in the fourth quarter and an airball from the stripe.
Zero for seven?
That's the equivilant of not being fully toilet trained until high school. I don't know what is more embarassing- airballing a free throw in the playoffs en route to an 0-7 night or crapping your pants at your eighth grade graduation. For me, the jury's still out.

good analogy with ben wallace and the toilet training.
a bigger issue though: did you see the ad for "kobe bryant ringtones" on our site? What the fuck what the fuck? I don't even know what that is. But i don't like it!
Damn you capitalism!
(sorry capitalism, i didn't really mean it, i still need your money and stuff just sometimes you just seem so heartless and stuff. no, of course i wouldn't rather live under communism. yes i've read about stalin and mao. but im a college student, i have to curse you sometimes, and the fact that you are sending our country into a american idol infested shithole hell.)
I noticed that... the way the ads work on the page is they look for the key words in your text and then plant ad related to it.
Soo... the more we bash Kobe the more we advertise him. Bizarre. Sick. Twisted.
Once we take over the world, we can put whatever we want on there. You can advertise your Che Guevera t-shirts as much as you want!
