what is dap?

Pick one of these options.  Probably not definition 3, though.

i guess i will avoid dap...or the ref.....tp though....

It IS like i said though..when steamer is in..Bynum is shut down..!!! Doc...hello Doc....

This could be the road trip where Stiemer forces his way into Doc's rotation.

(But you know Doc will be kicking and screaming the whole way!)

Apparently today was the annual Andy Bynum Injury Day. Sort of like Easter, it comes on a different day every year. But you can count on it being there.

On a completely unrelated tangent, am I the only one that finds those Blake Griffin Kia commercials vaguely creepy? I mean they're funny, but still creepy.

I love when a coach changes the starting lineups according to the match-ups. The KG/Bass line-up works against most teams. Especially in the East. But starting two pfs against this frontline is a bit stupid IMO.

right on clover...i see good in steam..and i think he can score in the paint with a little more chances...it takes some time..it happens soo fast down there......then one or two good playes...and it just comes...! But doc never seems to understand this..as is evidence by never running plays for steam...he did the same way back when to perk.../!

Rebounding is 26-17 and shooting 51-40 in their favor, and we're only losing by 2? This game is absolutely winnable.

LOL, they are pretty creepy! Blake can make a great actor once his NBA career is over.

And Im going to go on record saying...

I DONT BELIEVE MAGIC JOHNSON HAS HIV/AIDS

I understand people get worse at different rates...but this guy has straight got fatter since his career has been over like every other athlete tends to.  He isnt keeping himself in THAT good of shape to beat that thing that others arent

[mctyson]

Pierce has 7 assists

He can only play Micheal Myers in Halloween though, perfect build & no speaking role.

I actually think Doc likes Stiemer and has been cautious about throwing him to the lions before he gets some confidence.  A 26 YO with limited NBA game experieve, and who has been rejected numerous times, could be fragile.  I think Doc has handled him correctly and I do not think it's a bad thing for circumstances to force the issue.  That actually helps an inexperienced player feel like he needs to rise to the challenge rather than feeling he has to prove himself.   That said, I do think Stiemer can have an impact on this game.

I don't think keeping yourself in great shape is what helps you keep HIV under control, it's taking the right cocktail of drugs regularly and for some it's being lucky enough to  be a carrier

I seems to recall about 10 years ago, them saying they could not find the virus in his body anymore.

It's really strange to see the Celtics make a "run" like this. Great, but strange. And just looking at the shooting percentages, rebounds etc., it's quite unreal that we are behind by two.

Did you take a look at the rebounding against the Blazers?  The Celtics were being outrebounded at halftime 21-17 despite winning 65-30.  Of course, the Celtics had a 60.0%-36.4% edge in shooting percentage.
