OK THAT WAS AN AWFUL GAME.
We all feel terrible.
Please listen to some Bach, breath in breath out, look at the beautiful landscape, relax.
We are a COMMUNITY here. Mutual respect and basic politeness go without saying. Please.

Yeah - like the Olive Garden, lol .

I actually had to google this one.
But, yes, like an Italian restaurant.
Do you ever see people having arguments in Italian restaurants?
hell no.
And seriously now, for me this really means something.
I mean, if any of you ever comes to Athens he has a place to sleep. My home is your home. Seriously.

ooooooo....are you near Glyfada??? I love there.

next, i've been to napoli and fights are anything BUT rare there. ha, ha.

There were some moments in this game just caused me to think

Are we tanking  ?

Anyone else feel that CBS is trying to showcase Bass?

If he needs to, that's pretty sad for Bass, because he'd be a great fit on almost any contender, imo.

That made me think. Like, a lot. Why?

Charlotte just wanted it more.

I've never been to the Olive Garden, but does Bertucci's count, lol?   Btw, did you just combine an ancient Afghan tribal custom, iirc, with uber, lol, or am I thinking of the wrong company?  Is that house from the shire?  What did you type into google to find it, and why am I so interested, haha?  Meh, eff Obama, lol .

that and the celtics are a stinky team that played stinky basketball tonight. 

[blink]

i missed most of the game so would folks please give me a Cliff's Notes version of what happened? all I could see is the celtics seemed to lack energy and cohesion. Their passing did not look sharp. movement was slow.

what happened? post wiz blues?

Yeah post good game blues.  Only time we showed some life was the little run to get to within 2 with about 4 min left.  After that we forgot how to shoot and score and only had 2 points the rest of the way (rondo score with just a few sec left).  Once crunch time hit, Big Al exerted his force and the good D on him earlier in the game was gone.  I think Al had 8 in the 4th.  No one could guard lance either, and he had a little run.

We seemed to play without any energy or real desire to win this game.  That is too bad because we really were in it with 4 min and it was there for the taking.  Bad D and lots of missed shots in the last few minutes.  Is that a broken record now?  I hope not.

[greece66]

What about banning the use of the word 'tanking' in this forum?
I think this would improve a lot the mental health of all of us.
Like A LOT.
Make a script that automatically rewrites it as 'rebuilding'.

[GetLucky]

I really liked Rondo's jump shot tonight (crickets).

It wasn't bad. I honestly think Rondo is just a confidence shooter, one of those guys who uses his talent and will to score baskets (ie early Cavs LeBron), and his lack of agression in looking for his shot ruins his rhythm. If Rondo adds these 8-10 points on jumpers, a few layups, and a three every few games, he's averaging Chris Paul numbers. Tada! Max player.

EDIT: ^ This is why I am generally a Rondo proponent. I think he is closer to cracking that "next level" threshold than it may appear to some.

i know. it is an addictng house. i keep looking at it and thinking "what sort of life do the people have who live there? doubt they have much night life." 

but really g666 posts some of the coolest pix on cb. that scary ride being one of them.

Sir, I hold a DPhil from the University to Oxford and an MPhil from Cambridge. In the Humanities.
I am unfamiliar with half the words that appear in the paragraph above.

But I liked the Afghan tribal reference. I mean sure, if you want we can cut our pinkies, exchange blood and become blood brothers. We still do this kind of thing in the Balkans.

Let's see, he knows his role, has played in many big playoff games (and has performed quite well, I might add), is an excellent athlete who can finish over or through size (lol), almost never misses a midrange jumper or free throw, and, perhaps most importantly (which is very unique), he has the quickness and strength necessary to guard both power forwards and small forwards, like Melo and Lebron (although Melo probably isn't making the postseason this year if the situation does not improve in New York).  So, yeah.  This is only my opinion, though.
