I forgot to mention Redz in my first post. Really there are just too many prolific and quality posters to narrow it down to a 10/12 man roster.

P.S. I perversely adore Meadowlark_Scal and his use of ellipses. No sarcasm.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Unfortunately, Other than Roy everyone on this forum just blends together for me.  I can't remember what any individual person says.  I'm just not very good at associating names/avatars with content.  I know there are some really awesome contributors here and I've talked to a  bunch of you, I just can't remember who said what. 

Recently I have started to notice a pattern where Celtics18 responds and disagrees with almost every single post I make... So I'll nominate him.

Let me know when someone starts a "top 5 most annoying posters in CB History"... I'll nominate myself.

I want to thank rondo2287 for remembering me-gave him a TP-smile. I am an oldtimer(been playing pickup ball for half a century and still play with the better players in town on saturday nights) so I normally leave the posting to the younger people unless I think I have something significant to offer. Also I have a lot of trouble with the NBA and the way the game is called (OK, I want to puke most games).I was in the old Boston Garden the night that Bird,McHale, Parish,and Reggie Lewis set the playoff record for points (156) against the Knicks. And the refs completely missed two totally obvious calls or it would have been 160. However that is nothing compared to the uncertainty of the calls today NBA where you have no idea of wha a foul is.

and we ended up losing that series  :(  I remember Bird missing a dunk and thinking "uh oh, my hero is becoming mortal".
Yup

I always very much enjoyed the 'Oscar The Grouch' approach of Brickowski. He also had the awesome Grandmama avatar (im assuming by mentioning it someone here will now grab it). Haven't seem him here in years.

i believe he took his moaning and groaning talent to sosh. i see him post there once in a while, and he still seems to be less than ecstatic over the general condition of the cosmos.

Redz,
The Knick series that you mentioned (painfully-laugh) was an example of thinking. After that game the Knicks made a defensive adjustment. The moved Oakley to guard Parish and Ewing to guard McHall. Oakley was short but very strong and was able to move Parish off the block. And Ewing's height interfered with McHale. The original matchups were more normal but the switch was effective for the rest of the series. If the Celtics had more time to adjust I think they would have exploited the new matchups. However the thinking part of basketball is why I like the game. I never had any athletic talent to speak of but I was much smarter than most opponents and therefore could make an impact in some way, shape or form.
