Nuggets (47-23) at Celtics (45-25) 3/24

[crownsy]

Holy crap, I'm so sick and tired of watching Rasheed be that lazy. He doesn't want to have to pick up the man on the pick & roll, so he throws a shoulder out there and hopes he doesn't get called with 4 team fouls already on the board. WHAT IS THAT?!

being old and nonathletic probably also plays into it.

I'm starting to think it's that he physically can't cover on a good pick and roll anymore.

New England Revolution is the local soccer/football affiliate for the Major League Soccer. Twellman was their biggest star who has been out for an extended time because of a broken bone in his face due to a cheap shot punch to the face.

I think he was a US National player as well though I may be mistaken

Or maybe it was a concussion. Can't remember but it was a wicked cheap shot after a goal, that I remember

concussion and a pretty bad neck injury.

he should have been in the 2006 world cup but mark chung robbed him of the spot.

That's right. He had a great year that year and should easily been on that team.

Come to a Celtics game thread and a soccer discussion breaks out. Who woulda guessed?

[Kiorrik]

On unites:

Our first = old and slow

Our second = young and fast?

Loving the whole-team-swaps though. Seriously.

You should've seen the Orlando thread the other night: we were talking about bakers, bikes, cleavage and whatnot.

It was a great thread.

Or play any defense in the post that does not involve "Slap the arms, hope for a no call"

So he can't play defense
He can play offense, but never does it how he should and ends up being ineffective

Why is he getting minutes?

[Donoghus]

See what happens when you drive the lane against this Nuggets team?

Do it more!!!

[Big_Matt34]

LOL Jon Barry with a bigtime oops.

[Kiorrik]

Pierce.

I really disliked him for the better of two and a half a season, but I've totally, totally been convinced now.

... but I still dislike his "floppy" drives.

You got away with cleavage huh? The mods must have been all in the chat that night.
