Can drose get a new espn commercial?

Last one was funny

Meanwhile in the CelticsBlog
Can we get dwight now?
LOLOLOLOL
"Ummm..we'll give you back Bass....will that work?"
lmao

A lot of us ask the same thing :)

only we have the pieces to actually get him.
Others think Philly is finish 3rd in the east?
well lets see how they do against the elite teams

just lost to the knicks, they had a cakewalk early schedule. they will prolly fade away.

I hope the knicks fade away for good
Hawes sat out with a back strain.

Then again, I’ve been waiting for Hawes to come back to earth.

Early candidate for Most Improved Player

I think he’s for real.

They're playing great. Jrue can definitely play.

They’re overachieving so they might actually make it to 3rd in the east.

I don't know, some of their players are playing way above their norm.

I think Philly will come back to earth. Orlando may finish third. The Pacers could also do it.

Who's worse: Charlotte, Detroit or Washington ?
you forgot Celtic in that list haha
in order of suckiness:

1) Wiz
2)Piss-tons
3)Bobcats

Washington for me.

You can have all the talent in the world. But if you’re a dumbass. You’re going nowhere.

Wizards and is not even close

their players just don’t give a damn
they just shoot and try to get stats

posting again

First Half thoughts

-Rose’s shot looks meh, he said it was cuz the thing in his shoe..its affecting fts as well as jumpers, but hes doing a good job of just classic pg duties. On the other hand im pissed at rondo, cuz hes kinda playing…well. His jumper does exist, and its not as bad as i thought. Of course hes still an ass with all his flopping, but at least hes not totally over rated now, just ugly, and a biyatch.

-Noah came to play, i see the 2nd defensive team noah is in the game.

-Boozer looks meh on defense, but hes asserting himself on offense it looks good

-as much love as deng was getting, i think brewer looks like the best player on our team right now. Hes contributing efficiently on both ends

-JL3 is reverting back to carlton mode, doesnt look all that great scoring, defending, or play making.

-Deng and asik look great. They are doing their usual.

-Celtics are far weaker than i thought they would be, the big 3 just dont look that big, kg particularly looks old. Ray is still gold though…

-Im surprised rip is still sitting, how bad is that groin man

groins take forever to heal

you ever pulled one?

This
2 weeks if it is a slight sprain... minimum
rip said he's coming back on monday.

same as CJ.

thank god

Carlton back to the bench

"It's not unusual to - wait, I'm on the bench again? - ...to see me cry"
This chick bounced on my groin hard and I was hurting for 2 weeks.
yea, rose's shot is off a little

but i liked that once he noticed that, he immediately started attacking. the toe is definitely not affecting his speed, so that’s all i’m really worried about.

noah and boozer are both playing great. has hell frozen over?

i thought JL3 looked solid for the first 6 minutes of the second quarter. didn’t make any mistakes until that last little bit there.

"noah and boozer are both playing great. has hell frozen over?" It's 2012, dude
Brewer couldn't stop Allen

so he lose love points

no one can stop allen

the best you can do is play him to a draw, a la BG in the 2009 playoffs.

Why rush rip back

We are winning and let’s wait until he’s 100% since he should be our biggest change from last tr.

Off direct topic Roses dunk was sweet!!!!

Finally back on topic why be concerned woth Rondo Celtics days as a powerhouse look over unless they get a trade. They should be in playoffs

i thought tonto looked meh

Noah, Butler, John Lucas, Gibson/Asik for Howard

We got dis

Noah, Gibson, Korver, 1st rounder(s)
also I dont think they will trade without deng in it

and I rather not give away deng

I agree.

As much as I would love to have Howard here, not sure I’de be willing to give up Deng.

I hated that glen Davis resuscitation thing

But rose Howard boozer is the best 3 man combo in the game if it happened and we’d still likely have Rip korver Watson maybe brewer likely Turk and maybe one of Gibson or asik.

Basically we do it if we could. If Howard wins it all he will stay

Roses entire fame coupled with Howards inside o and d game will make boozer flourish

Lucas rather than deng

hahaha stacey and neil weren't allowed to go on the court

because of the ESPN guys apparently.

OT: the Heat may lose again tonight

Denver is no pushover by any means. Thought it was funny as hell when Bosh said he wanted Wade to take the 4th qtr shots because he was an “MVP”

Didn’t LBJ win a few of those? lol

do I see an internal rift?
they really should

trade lebron for dwight.

if they where smart

Doubt they do that tho

Or wade for howard

You don’t trade Lebron even if I think he and wade are pretty equal, Lebron is bigger younger and more healthy

ya

But then u have no closer..well bosh I guess

maybe a 3 way trade?
funny how time works out
i really like that denver team they have

i see them winning the west

When did the Celtics sign that one guy from American Dad?
it isn't him

roger is likeable

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure it's that guy
Roger's annoying wannabe twin brother
just hope

the bulls keep attacking here and don’t decide to settle for jumpers. it’s a bad habit i’ve seen too many times coming out of halftime. bulls need to put their feet on this team’s throat and get some rest for tomorrow.

yeah, I'm kinda expecting them to scare us
just need to play the same defense

and the game is over.

carlos...

when did anyone ever tell you that big men should make floaters their primary way of shooting around the rim? you soft bruhhh
love the game tho.

saving it for the playoffs
wouldn't that be funny as hell?

Heat series in the playoffs and suddenly he starts dunking on everyone. I’d laugh my ass off

Is Aggrey a winner of a make-a-wish contest?
oh snap!

Doc rappity rappin..lol

here comes aggrey sam aka angry sam (smith)

lol. this guy has great sources though, in all seriousness. goes under the radar while KC and friedell get the spotlight.

LMAO Stacey is going off about Agg-ray’s swag and now complimenting Neil Funk on his love for rap. “You got ya wiz in your ipod, i see you there neil”

Fuck KG, Fuck Rondo
brewers smile scares me
read his tweets, then look at the smile

the smile becomes downright horrorifying

slow rotation there by noah.
WTF NOAH

DUNK THAT SHIT

Contact. should be a foul
JVG giving Rose's court vision some love.

How can you not like that guy? He’s the Woody Allen of commentary.

noah

.wtf u dribble for?

Eat hardwood bitch!
nice block by rose

lol rondo just running into him…what a dumbass

Rondo was head hunting there
he is desperately trying to get that 3rd on rose

fuck rondo

Another exaggerated flop by Rondo
thank god he still sucks at FTs.
I didn't think that Rondo could be more of a bitch

But he is an alien

Yeah

Fuck you Rondo

LOLLLLL thats how you do it Rondo

watch the master aka Rose

Great play Rose, in Rondo's face
Too strong bitch Rose
The Silent Assassin!
getting his own rebounds, passing to himself

this guy really can do it all. on a bad toe to boot

board, assist, bucket
Did JVG just describe Rondo as a hugger? More like facehugger. Am I right? Zing.
Meanwhile

KG on my F team…Yeah fuck him

lots of contact there an no call
Rondo leaned in

such a bitch…

that was dumb, derrick
wow

rondo’s ultra flopping finally paid off.

Fuck Rondo
Amen
that was a dumb foul
shit, shit, shit
"....just made it easier to get on the other girls"

…..

glad i'm not the only one that caught that
Rondo is fucking leaning his ass into Rose WTF foul
Okay STEP up D

lets make then score less then 70

Rondo is a foul whore
Rondo you foul whore!!!
Rondo scared of D Rose

This is all he’s doing

on the replay

rose jumped clean away off him

MVP
Rondo, if you ever read this...Rose is hurt, and he still is kicking your ass without trying. Stop whining like a bitch. Turn around and bend over and take it like a man
OWNING on the boards!
jumpshooting bitch
Why Rondo flops so much if he can't make his FT?
"big boy basketball" - stacy describing lu

i like it.

ugh noah stop shooting
..so basically

Deng = PF and Booz = SF?

seems to be working out pretty well

at least

*does the carlos boozer 2013 amnesty dance*
"Celtics in a huge hole"

they just won’t stop talking about Rondo

Anything we want inside when we drive... its there ALL FUCKING NIGHT
thats gotta be

like the first shot KG has hit all night

If Pierce makes the all-star team over Deng

I’m going to punch a kitten

I have to admit

Nice pass from BT

lol at doc's face
HOLY SHIT

DENG DENG DAAAANG

Deng is killing it.
Paul is Deng's bitch
DENG MOTHAFUCKERS
Pass too high Brew
Rondo stepped out
Boozer and his lack of hustle is sickening.
see thats when the numbers are scewed

Imo deng is the most consistent cuz he his big shots more often…spot up 3s..

need to shut up this crowd

asap

seriously

they’re still down 16

I knew the refs would call that

Because of the croud

Boozer playing dumb again

Get Taj in there

taj is already on his way

boozer just picked up #4

not booz's fault that o'neal flopped
not just that

he let bass go right by him in that other possetion

mvp booz
wish isiah was with the knicks

Amare for booz would be done by now

Get him outta there
Oneal slid under him
yeah

dont let that distract the boozer haters though

totally...

borderline call… could easily gone Boozer’s way….

the crowd called that foul

that was a blocking foul

Good thing he picked up his 4th and Noah just got bammed on,

it’ll push Thibs to go with Taj/Omer the rest of the way.

that was a good drive by booz

terrible call.

everytime booz does that drive i think hes gonna stuff it

Nope. Weak layup…every…fuckin..time

Not last time

Tried to dunk it against Wash over 3 people lol…Missed it tho

if he made that one tho

would be epic

missed that

But he should do that more…he prob get 1-2 calls more

boozer fourth PF?
Boozer with foul trouble
Bulls gotta get their transtion game going on these guys
should be a no call, really
stupid ass jermain oneal

Fucking hate that Boozer CAN NOT drive without a charge being called.
So frustrating.. Its like every single time he rolls to the hole..

he made a good play
strategy should be

keep going to deng. hopefully we dont start settling for jumpers

unless Deng shoots it
lets see how TAJ/NOAH combo works..
Neil Funk showing off his colorblindness
What did Funk say?
he called Benny the Bull orange
cripes, no kidding
Can't let them get hot
Pierce looking for a call
And gets bitched by Deng again
THATS THE JO WE KNOW
zactly....

he can do that.

JEEZ WTF

this guy cannot finish anymore

Noah no love from the rim
Noah stop it, fuck
Noah's gotta dunk that shit
theres something wrong with noah

i know he get up better than that.

ok how

is that not a shooting call???

I thought that 2
Most of all, Noah has been unlucky
jo needs to dunk on garnett

He’ll remember everything…matrix style

Rose got fouled and even Rondo knew it BS
yeah

he stood there for a second stunned that the whistle didnt go

and then he shrugged, like “oh cool!”

he was trying to foul

to keep him from scoring…that’s what REALLY makes it bullshit

Yep

Fuck the refs

he didint get fouled. that was all ball
(stares silently)
There will always be peoplr

questioning the obvious

irritaBULLS? lol
Accross the fucking body man
Clear reach-in- Vision check needed
NO IT WAS NOT.
Watch the replay

You sit corrected

I'm saying Rondo wrapped his arm

around Derricks stomach. Is that the play you are talking about?

Sorry

I sit corrected..

That's just Ray not giving up on the play
yeah that was a pretty back cut
How is that not a foul?
lol he just reached across his torso
fucking ref was right there too
Not surprised. Tendrils tend to have a long reach.
Thats a foul on Rondo

Come on, he did it on purpose to stop the break

Rondo gets away with BS again
Mad Rose will go into beast mode in the 4th, injured toe or not
Rondo never gets called for a reach I'm foul

Its so annoying. And these celtics and their fans have the nerve to call out the refs

I'm getting nervous.
yeah, me 2

but we are going to hold this

we got this

The crowds just drunk

I'm not....

Boston isn’t very good

If Booz slept as Taj just did on that Allen layup

People here would go nuts

WTF BOOZER AMNESTY!!!!!!

Like that?

I think majority of us know

BOOZ>Taj. The only reason we make noise when booz does something awful is cuz he is suppose to be an all-star since we are paying him like one.

Rondo you sack of shit.
nice quick makeup call
Where's the real Jo?
JO AFRAID TO DUNK OR WHAT?

NOAH FUCK YOU

I guess he's the new Deng from 3 years ago here

(Granted he had a slow ass start)

noah can't get a tip in to save his life

4 points he’s cost us already

Neeeed to finish
I see more energy from Jo that's good

Gotta put that in the basket tho

lol huge break for us

Rose went right into Noah

Isnt it time for boozer to set the mother of all illegal picks on Rondo

Break him in half

no actually

theres the makeup call

And again Noah can't score
Rose rams into Noah, lol....
Rose just got a call

LOL since when does that happen?

okay that call was awful

That was a weird play.

How did Luol end up with the ball…

Lol that was a bad call

I’ll own up to it

Rose says "fuck you" with his play
Get off mah dick, alien!
Flopping Mother Fucker should have been and 1
dayum

finally rose doin it at the basket, been attacking all night w/no luck

C's ALWAYS pushing off on rebounds
Booz box out oneals shit ass!!
Boozer is on the bench
korver just got lost on that play
There ya Go Jo
Im drunk and and I can do a better job of reffing than this

For both sides

That's clearly off them!!
WTF?? Out on TAJ??
wtf???

goaltend???

Here goes the ref screwjob!

Knew it was coming

espn game

idiots trying to make this interesting

OH MY GOD FUCK THE REFS THEY JUST MADE A HORRIBLE CALL FOR US BUT ITS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST US FUCK THESE REFS THEY SHOULD ALL BE FIRED

Refs with BS on top of BS
oh great

settling for jumpers

I want to hear silence!
Pacers fan here.

Put these ancient Celtics away and extend your league-best record. Can’t wait to play you guys in a few weeks.

you guys got a great team right there

what’s going on with Granger though?

Ehh...

No clue what’s going on with his shooting. His defense has been insane, though, so at least he’s still viable in that regard.

fuck Taj mid range jumpers
We are playing like shit now..

they’ll have to break out the oxygen tanks on the Celtics’ sideline

awful third quarter by Chicago
beautiful pass by Allen on that O'Neal dunk
Rondo's dumbass always flopping into players

we’re lucky he didn’t take out Drose’s knees

yeah....

….wouldn’t be surprised to see him step on his toe

thank you for the no call
we've got a game, fellas.

should be a fun finish

few bad calls

refs gave BSPN exactly what they wanted

Terrible quarter

Bulls the ones looking tired and old

We are looking pretty tired
Luol disappeared
you're crazy his D has been perfect
no

they didnt get the ball to him

If Luol doesn't have a basket every minute, he's disappeared

He should be averaging 96 points a game.

Well, he's our second best offensive option right now

and he has been owning the Celtics, he should demand the ball more.

Need a much better 4th from this team.
Celtics are tired
that's usually our best quarter

but let’s see
Bulls let teams come back from big leads the last 2 seasons

I know and it scares the hell out of me.
Okay this is what needs to happen

ROSE

he needs to chill out

play more like the 1st quarter

Dumb pick and rolls brings 2 defenders on rose

Stop it

Bulls didn't play well in the 3rd

but the ref’s sucked it up worst

we had to know boston was going to make a run

now we just need a good quarter to finish it out

Yup, some solid D and we got this
Rose needs to sit for a min to Collect himself.
cant afford to bring in lucas

right now

his shot is off. he said in that interview that he wasn't getting the lift he normally gets when he shoots because of the toe

he’s gotta keep driving and get to the line.

C's playing like a bitch team like the old days

playing to the refs, Rondo keeping the tradition alive

i knew this was going to happen, i knew it!
refs are terrible both ways

all night.

Hope Rose gets On Fire in the 4th
I see Rondo getting kicked out in the fourth
No refs wont kick him out

after all the work the they did to make the game interesting

Sheed or Big Sexy would have been ejected long ago with that attitude
What was rondo doing on that last drive, lawd
Bulls need to be aggressive in transition, allow on jumpers, and their limit turnovers
Bulls outscored 26-15 in the third

Just need some stingy D and not settling for lazy shots

Rose was fouled there
Fucking bullshit
the whistles are off
omer has sucked tonight

put noah back in

oh what the fuck

4 point game? seriously?

just let rose iso

stop bringing up a man. It’s ruining us

we are gonna blow this game

unreal

son of a bitch
Tech that scrub pg, bradley
So this is how we're gonna lose this game? Seriously?
Can we get Brewer in for Korver?
yeah Korver is basically worthless out there tonight

jesus fucking christ

Great
25-6 run...bullshit, guys
Isn't Rose supposed to be shitting on Rondo?

He’s kinda sucking tonight,

and he's kind of injured

hello

He's been getting to the rim just fine

he’s missing layups he usually gets

and injuries can do that to you

remember 2009, when he had the ankle thing. the easy bunnies were going in and out.

He looked fine doing a freaking Tomohawk dunk.

If he’s out there and dunking, he’s good to go..

Here we go........
Looked god awful for over a qtr
25-6 run, what the fuck Chicago
wtf just happen?
Way to blow this game Thibs!

Must have lost a bet to Rivers.

I don't believe this shit....
Has korver attempted a shot yet?
only one shot i think
Hot sauce is doing nothing besides playing horrible defense
We look terrible
To Boston's credit

they were missing a lot of open shots early in the game. Now the shots are just falling.

it was surreal how many were misssing

all being made up now.

and now were missing ours
EVERYBODY CHILL OUT.
Sorry, can't do that.
Release the Kraken!!!!
Just like last year

We pull away refs call or no call BS. Bulls momentum off, other team gets back in the game.

this definitely seems familiar
refs made some mistakes but this comeback is not on the refs
I know

But calls can throw off a teams momentum

They are just getting lucky

we need to calm down and execute on O
And play harder on D

Taj is playing like shit, btw
When does he not?
Shhh

dont remind anyone. it’s just boozer

yah

Plus his trade value is going up…giggity giggity

DRose will take over

no worries. He’s not Lebron

He is injured though...
9-0 run coming up from our Bulls!
wtf just happened?

Seriously..I missed the run

Celtics playing great D and Bulls can even get a shot

Celtics making lucky shots

was our mob in or starters?
Korver isnt doin nonthin but nonthin.
I'm actually concerned with Rose standing at the top dribbling

He needs to either attack or give the ball up earlier. These possessions have looked like shit.

And his shot is waaaayyyy off, too
Gotta get Korver going or Rose needs to get something going to the rim
noah back in

good

Rose 5-17 from the field so far

He needs to get to the basket and the line

We have made 1 three pointer the whole game
Booz was fouled there
KG makes so many fouls down low
how do they miss that call!??!?!
because its not a foul
That could go either way imo
Fucking Booz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Booz got hacked
we cannot be doing this

booz thing right now

ATTACK

Like that, Rose

like that

rozay!
THANK YOU!

Now do that again

good

keep pushing

HERE COMES THE UNICORN
YES

KEEP ATTACKING ROSE ATTTACKKKKK

Embrace your vinny ball!
Rose is sick of this shit, he's taking it hard to the rim now
Drose says Fuck this Shit
Nice. Rose getting aggressive.
And again, and again and again.
Derrick attacking

Gotta be the closer here

TebowTime, I mean, RoseTime
welcome back bitch

fuck ronda

Garnett's too tall for Deng
still

Deng timing was perfect. KG had to work hard for that one

look at how much grabbing KG was doing on Deng

sickening

They been getting away with that a few times
lucky break for the bulls there

thought it was out on rose

they're going zone
oh shit

our achilles

MV MAHFUCKIN PPPPPP
MVP YOU BITCHES
He's here, bitches!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOM DRROSSSEE
Rose is cold blooded, bitches!
Rose got in rythem at FT line and his 3 is good
Noah made that happen.
Sweet Derrick!
wtf

technical on rose!?!?!?!?

no
dumbass funk

always throwing me off. thanks

Garnet is getting away with a lot of shit down low
KG getting way with BS

And Rose get a T

say what you will

Booz is a great passer

He is

Not as good as Brad. But very damn close

Defensive 3 seconds?

Like on every Celtics defensive possession?

this ref

looks like donahy

Need to get Lu back on Pierce
There was our back to the basket post player

not doing anything in the post, unguarded

Deng REBOUND! Awesome
Rose:

’I wanna wee-un, but my toe hurts. I was gonna be careful with it, but then these idiots made me go MVP on them

Noah post move!!!!
Thats the Noah I know aggressive to the rim
Nice move Noah!

he’s back!!!

LMAO

Pierce throwing up bricks

Noah clearly fouled
Deng locking down Pierce all night long.
wow

we hung in there and seemed to have dodged a bullet

Noah Motherfuckers
Jo

Shows up in big games

Hit your FTs Jo
Who is this Noah guy?

I only watch the 4th quarters…

Noah really has pierces number huh
also, this should finally shut up the haters

Noah and Boozer carrying the 4th quarter

Booz hasn't done a damn thing in the 4th.

Noah’s been good, tho.

he got fouled by KG

and he has done a good enough job on pierce (Deng is defending Garnett)

No he's not.

He’s only on Garnett when they’re running the 3/4 PnR.

BUT BUT

TAJ AND ASIK WAY BETTER!!…Asik is still fucking awesome tho

need more

Gimme a good win streak and I’m sold

Noah = HS Girls strength
wow, really?
Are you watch Bulls game?
He's put on muscle and probably can move some weight in the weight room

but his bball strength is low. Can’t finish in traffic.

this is more rational
what a game by Deng
lu is a great floor general on D
He is our Brian Urlacher on D?
does that make Boozer...

our Roy Williams?

Booz...Idonije

Both solid but not great players…

Welcome back Jo!
He needs to play like this more often.
he will

lockout didn’t work for him but he still is the man

noah is gassed

Get off them newport cadillacs

best game by Noah so far?
Maybe the Memphis one
well, i think this game holds more weight since its alot more competitive

and memphis lost randolph in that game

fo sure

im happy to see noah doing well

We'll see
By effort? definitely.
I don't even remember what a good Noah game is like.

I guess this is pretty good.

Nice to see Ray Allen can miss
Bulls 10-2 run
thibs sees the zone

good timeout. do NOT want these idiots to come back again

sup with brewer

Man we need him with rip out

I like...

how Thibs uses his time-outs….

This team is going to know how to play under pressure on their own…

ronnie got hurt or somethin
Pierce is absolutely lost facing Deng

he has no idea what to do
Deng owns him

Completely
that last play was hilarious

pierce had like 3 guys surrounding him and he looked completely lost, had to get ray to shoot the bailout off balance 3

Part of me can't wait

What Deng does to LeChokesalot….Seriously this is a different Deng.

Gotta out hustle these guys Bulls and limit turnovers
did Brewer get Hit or sumthin?
looked winded

or the air got knocked out of him or something

damn, this is where the bulls miss rip

hes so vital to this team

Deng went for the bait, gotta scale it back
That's not a shootinng foul.

Pierce shot that well after the contact.

paul pierce is buttcheeks

Guys fakes are so lame now

Deng got pierced
MVP POWER
Rose3333333333333333333333333333333
Rose turning on his outside shot
ROSE TO RONDO: "TELL ME HOW MY ASS TASTES"
Rose has 4 quarters

Rondo has no quarters

a few dimes though
touchdown

get that man some skittles

wow nice move by bass
We can't be getting owned by Bass
Yeah Brewer!
Smart pass by Booze.
Brewer

with the chicken wing shot

SNAP..

lack of range, eh!

Did they say

Brewer’s lack of range?

Chicken wing!
ya backtrack those words jvg

Ronnie rules

what did his dumbass say
defenders tryin to expose ronnie range

Then boom! Right in the kisser

oh

Right after he says: ronnie been shooting well this year..kinda funny

great no call on Pierce...

cause he traveled like crazy…

noah raping garnett tonight
Kicked out by Garnett
