Boston Celtics, NBA season preview 2010-11

report edited for content by mr. phil donahue (copyright phil donahue 2010)

Robert PARISH with a dang throwdown!! good folks like rik smits, mark eaton, and jon koncak still be seeing his repertoire in their gritty nitemares.  the Chief rocked well in the post (right block) with a jerking shoulder fake where he would either spin baseline and jam, or simply turn towards ze right and loft one of his soft rainbow jumpers.  What a dang feathery touch for a big man!  and his outlet passes to midcourt were exquisite.  So, basically the guy's superb.  Next:  the Celtics in 2010 will be challenged  to start fresh(see fresh slate link) after an abysmal ending to a splendid postseason run.  I still haven't seen any replay footage from gm 7 of the finals.  Things sting.  But got dangit we've revamped! jermaine o'neal, shaq, delonte west is back, harangody, marquis daniels is healthy - all these neutrons added to the nucleus mean another run at it.
L.A.: ya'll better simmer. jeez Louise.  Kobe went 6 for 24 in gm 7 and artest hit a lucky three. (edited out portion on the rest of their squadron being peckerheads) We don't want to see San antonio or denver in the finals. we want you.   Indeed Miami, i said the finals, we're coming out the east.  we're gonna go through ya'll like a dang laxative. 
HERE ARE some of the preseason predictions made by the folk(s) at our roundtable luncheon:
worst dressed coach:  Stan van gundy
mvp: (certainly not dwight howard, his mid range shooting touch is wretched.  how in the blue hell is it so bad considering he's had patrick ewing as an assistant coach his whole career) Brandon Roy, portland
most ejections: is vlade divac still in the league?
most fake flops: a european, ya'll flop like dang fish out there. manu ginobli.
most missed retired role player: anthony peeler. this cat always looked like he could roll out of bed and get 20 off the bench. smooth.
all star game mvp: kevin love (on some wes unseld shit)
 next city to get an expansion team: west memphis, arkansas (2023)  winnepeg?
best mfing tattoos:   stephen jackson's stomach
defensive player of the year:  mutombo, free agent

random predictions: Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan gets attacked by fan in new jersey(prior to the game). sloan proceeds to beat the piss out of the fan and then coach his team onto slim victory - and refuses to comment afterwards despite having smirk on his face.   Charles Barkley consistently comments negatively on the sleeveless look Mavs owner Mark Cuban begins to cultivate courtside this season.  the Pointer Sisters perform national anthem at the all star game.   Referees continue to never call carrying (palming) and players continue to run hog wild at their expense.   That courtside cameraman who was kicked in the balls by Dennis Rodman years back will have a run in with Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles.

linkage: (cohesive unit) (box and one) (drexler) (larry nance going baseline) (the omni in atlanta) (fat lever)
