The Celts are done

[Tektonik]

KG is out at least til mid March, thusly handing HC adv to CLE.

Hopefully Boston's FO will realize this era is already over for them and begin rebuilding.

LA has to win this year. The West's upper echelon is weaker than anything I've seen since the what the East produced from the 99 to 04.

The only team I see beating LA is Orlando since they excel in what LA chooses not to defend, 3 point shooting.

1. I wouldn't say that...it makes it tougher, but I still think they can beat

the Cavs in Cleveland...last year they couldn't, so everyone seems to think they need the homecourt advantage. I think they'll be fired up to prove everyone wrong, because, even though they won it all last year, the media still seems to be enamored with Kobe The Rapist Bryant.

2. Kobe the 'rapist'

Cute :eyes:

Kobe the adulterer, fine; Kobe the rapist, you're a joke.

[joeybee12]

6. Hmmm...how about Kobe The Accused Rapist Bryant...

...either way he's the joke, and if you defend such a reprehensible human being, then...

[Tektonik]

7. Formerly accused

I don't understand what's reprehensible about not being convicted.

If you're that disgusted by adultery, you may as well stop watching the NBA.

[joeybee12]

8. You really just think it was adultery, huh?

Maybe it wasn't technically rape, but a hotel employee, in your hotel room, someone you never met...about 10 years younger...yup, plain old vanilla adultery, nothing to look at, move along.

9. you don't know what the fuck happened that night

[joeybee12]

10. I know they had sex...I know she had bruises...

...that'e enough to know that a married man with a young baby is an asshole who does shit like this.

3. If Andrew Bynum wasn't made of tissue paper I might agree with you.

But the Green are still defending champs and a very good team. Losing KG for a few weeks doesn't mean we won't win any games.

[Captain Hilts]

5. Agree.

[MrPerson]

4. Kicked the Romans' ass for a while.

11. The C's looked pretty good today in Phoenix!!

[ellacott]

12. They're not done

They are 4-0 when he doesn't play. This will just give other players some game time. This will also allow KG to get some rest as we enter the end of the regular season.

[Arkana]

14. This just in--Leon Powe and Big Baby are pretty good.

[ellacott]

16. That's what I'm talking about

It gives other players game time. They won last night. Now they are 5-0 without KG.

[WilliamPitt]

13. Hm.

[bluescribbler]

15. Celtics 114, Nuggets 76

Celtics Make Themselves at Home

[Forkboy]

17. 2-0 so far.

this era is already over for them and begin rebuilding.

I don't entirely disagree, but that time isn't just yet. Though if I were a Lakers fan I would be wishing it was. ;)

18. until the Celts are eliminated..

they are the defending NBA champs. They ain't done by a long shot.
