You never know with Doc. We might not see him again until March.

i would seriously like an explanation from the refs on what foul gabe committed by standing in a passing lane and stealing a bad pass.

[vinnie]

I apologize to Glen Davis. He is the player of the game so far tonight.

[celticinorlando]

well they won the third....now they really need to clamp down and finish the game...bench..starters...don't care....and not a lot of eddie house tonight either

[vinnie]

foul on gabe??? for what?

Stealing a bad pass?

I think the replay clearly showed he grabbed the guy's arm.

rondo with another turnover

I'm a huge Rondo fan but he has hit a wall.

How does a third-year guy hit the wall in the 37th game of the season?

I don't know, but he did not play like this before that West Coast trip.

thats called a slump. a wall would mean his career is over because 8 TO's a night is his average.

I disagree. A wall is something you can get over, that is why the expression is used.

we have different definitions of that expression then, ive only ever heard it used to describe players reaching the limit of thier potential.

There's a common phrase called the "rookie wall": because college basketball players only play about 30 games in a season, NBA rookies used to that schedule sometimes "hit a wall" midway through the NBA season when they begin playing more games than they're used to.  So a wall in basketball terms usually refers to a slump that is caused by physical/mental fatigue more than any lack of ability or potential.

My $.02 at least...

[crownsy]

great defense gabe.

[Chief]

I apologize to Glen Davis. He is the player of the game so far tonight.

Danny can send this game tape around the league to get teams interested in a trade.

[celticinorlando]

[MattD]
