News and Notes: Boykins Traded to Bucks
-*UPDATE* Torn ACL and MCL for Tony Allen, surgery on the way. Out for 6 months. That's pretty much what everyone expected, but if Tony can rehab well he will be on the floor starting next season. That's great news.
I want to remind everyone that Powe has come back from two ACL tears and he still jumps around like a Gramattica after an extra point. So, don't lose hope about Tony. I'm not going to try to make you stop losing hope about the season. This team is going to go as far as our one-eyed chucker (Allan Ray) will take us.
-Apparantly Earl Boykins and Julius Hodge will be traded to the Bucks for Steve Blake. That's the best, apparantly, the Nuggets could do in return for the player that has almost outshined Iverson in Carmelo's absence, but Boykins had to go for money reasons and also because of the fact that once 'Melo gets back there won't be much room for him. Interesting that the Nuggets have sucked ever since Iverson arrived, huh? There's a shocker.
But... Boykins for Steve Blake!? Celtics fans might remember him because Telfair couldn't get minutes away from him, but I remember him because every time I see him on an NBA roster I wonder aloud how the hell he could make it in the NBA when he wasn't even that good in college. On Maryland's championship run in 2002 he was more of a liability than a strength. Meanwhile, Lonny Baxter was a stud and now all he does is make me worried that I'll get shot anytime I go near the White House. Whatever.
-CWebb is a free man! He goes to the highest bidder. He'll be asking The cowardice, broken knees, bad attitude, dubious ties to the craziest woman on the planet (Tyra Banks), ***AND*** a limp are part of the package deal. The saddest part is reading Kevin Garnett talk about how much he would love to have CWebb on the team. KG has to be the most desperate bastard in the league. He wants ANYBODY. However, I don't feel sorry for him. When you sign a gigantic contract on a tiny market team, you don't give your front office a lot of room to work. Take a page out of Tom Brady's playbook, Mr. Greedy McScowlsalot.

Latest Celtics news report:
"Scalabrine said he drove himself and Allen, along with Allen's mother to the hospital "NASCAR style", with two feet because he couldn't lift his right leg to press the break. Scalabrine reports that while Allen's mother was asking for an ambulance ride to the hospital, Allen told her, "No, this is better than the ambulance. This is Scal!"
Scal can really drive, just not on a basketball court. Years of hungry pizza runs really improved Scal's driving skills.
'Don't worry ma, It's Scal. I told him there's a hotdog waiting for him at the hospital. ' - TA
Holy moly, I usually don't read Shira's entire articles, but that was an interesting nugget at the end there... all I gotta say is that if the Celtics cared about Tony, they wouldn't have had a redhead, delirious from hunger and pain, with NASCAR ambitions drive him to the hospital...
If you happen to watch the play live where Tony goes down, the cameraman cuts for a few second to Wyc in the front row yelling at Tony to "Get up, Tony!" As if Tony was dogg'n it, and he was his mom.
