See and I feel the other way. Your team drained a couple lucky three’s but was absolutely reeling vs us in the 4th otherwise. IF that game goes to OT, I figure we blow your doors off in the first couple mins and you guys stagger to the finish wondering what went wrong.

No offence but please don’t make it sound like those long balls were well executed Celtics playcalls. Ray Allen is some good, and some lucky.

As for how to “close out a game”, I think what Matt was saying is that Boston thought it’d done enough to TIE the game late and got caught napping when Chauncey drew the throws with .2 left…. basically reminding Boston the game wasn’t exactly over yet.

All that having been said though, yeah, I was NOT freaking amused that we let you get back to back long balls and then turned the ball over… that was, not funny.

Otoh, 87-85 and nobody ever asks during Finals Media Day, “So about that time you almost lost in the regular season….”

No problem LB, I just found it out of line for him to attack you like that. I know you were being sarcastic but it’s not like you were insulting him and if anything, the way he was trash-talking last night he surely deserved it. But I think his actions were based on the way everyone made him look dumb on DBB with the combination of his Boston Celtics taking a last second butt-kicking.

close out a game?
do you know what that means ?
With 6 points up and less than 2 min on the clock you manage to let your opponent tie the game AND have the ball in the hand of a 6 times all-star player wide open with 5 sec left…
If Pierce was smart enough to wait and take the last shoot or drive in or kick it out to Allen, the game was over for you and you would have been asking how can’t such an experienced team not be able to close that game with 6 points up and less than 2 min left on the clock…
This Detroit win is mostly due to Pierce stupidity.
It was Ray Allen or Kg the game was over for you or at most we were going into OT with Boston having the psychological advantage!!!
You can say everything you want about your win BUT please don’t talk about how to close a game…

Major props to LawyerBoy as his “Redemption, thy name is Chauncey Billups” quote was used to start off the Basketball Jones podcast this morning!! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, and you are a hoops fan, (duh, or you wouldn’t be here) you need to subscribe to this great podcast. Just do a search on iTunes for them and listen in!

My name is perkisabeast, and since I’m more interested in creating publicity for my own site than having an intelligent conversation, my comments on DBB will be moderated/edited for the foreseeable future.

Yes. Please stop calling me a phag and telling me to suck a dick. It hurts when you hurt my feelings. And I’m not jealous

Tell me do you think it’d be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I’m in no shape for driving
And anyway I’ve got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I’d ever had
If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place…hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don’t expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place…hey jealousy

I don’t need a blog to make friends, even though I have many. I don’t need a community to have readers although I have many.

I just want my Hootie.

You and me, we come from different worlds
You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls
Sometimes you’re crazy then you wonder why
I’m such a baby ’cause the Dolphins make me cry
But there’s nothing I can do
I’ve been looking for a girl like you
You look at me, you got nothing left to say
I’m gonna pout at you until I get my way
I won’t dance, you won’t sing
I just wanna love you but you wanna wear my ring
But there’s nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me a fool
I only wanna be with you
Put on a little Dylan
Sittin’ on a fence
* I said, “That line is great” you asked me what it meant by
* Said I shot a man named Gray
Took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks, and when she died it came to me
I can’t help it if I’m lucky
I only wanna be with you
Ain’t Bobby so cool
I only wanna be with you
Yeah I’m tangled up in blue
I only wanna be with you
You can call me a fool
Only wanna be with you
Sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever end
You get so mad at me when I go out with my friends
Sometimes you’re crazy then you wonder why
I’m such a baby, yeah, the Dolphins make me cry
But there’s nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you
You can call me a fool
I only wanna be with you
Yeah I’m tangled up in blue
I only wanna be with you

Diablo: I can take it, I wouldn’t provide the link if I couldn’t. That irrelevant response he provided was wholly indicative of him not me, as far as I’m concerned. Though I appreciate that you have my back.

It comes down to the fact that there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why his blog doesn’t have a community and this one does. If you ask me, he’s the one who is pretty “phag”gy since he brings nothing to the table in terms of intellectual basketball evaluation.

That’s messed up how he attacked LB like that, he wasn’t even the guy that called him a “phag”. -smh-

BTW guys, if you’re going to send gloating emails like that, be a little more eloquent and less insulting. it just makes it easier for them to make us look bad. i’m quite proud of my response on the page.
