The Official Week 12 'Welcome to 2018' Thread

Imagine giving it your all and destroying your body, only to get traded in the middle of rehab and being told to stop being a bitch when your upset about it

It stings, but thats how it happens in the nba.

I think its more about him wanting his tribute reel the same night that a club legend is having his jersey retired.

Sitting at the end of the bench and turning the ball over?

Draining clutch 3's bruh

Imagine moving from being a permanent bench or 6th man fixture on other teams to the star and focal point of a basketball team that wins two playoff series and getting one of the best coaches in the league that constantly masks your deficiencies and amplifies your strengths to virtually double your future paycheck. Evan turner likes this.

Isaiah went from being traded for a Cleveland first that was dumped with Tyler Zeller's salary, to being traded back to Cleveland in a package for Kyrie Irving. That's a pretty profound example of how much his value had changed before and after the Celtics.

Players get traded in the nba. It's Danny ainge's job to improve the basketball team and be a heartless, cold individual sometimes. Him being injured changed the package in the trade and did nothing else.

Every single Celtics fan will always appreciate what Isaiah did and hate that he got injured.

I mean it's not like the Celtics weren't willing to honor him with a tribute video. You were there 2 years, take your video and a round of applause and jog on. Trying to postpone it to take some shine on Paul Pierce's night is embarrassing.

 

[stewie griffen]

Can I ask why Paul pierces tribute game is that particular game?

 

[Dez!]

Damn it Chicago, you had the perfect streak going and you go and f*** it up with a win.

At least Dunn and Lauri balled out though.

They gave Jae crowder a tribute video. It's not like the Celtics are shy on tribute videos.

Gonna be tough to upset this perfectly crafted Atlanta Hawks tank. So young and white.

 

[Drummer_19]

Dwight is such a clown, 2nd time he's hoiked up an early clock long 2 that was no where near going in. Know your place, mate.

Counting on a lakers loss for the last leg of my multi... I can dig that.

National TV game, mid-season against a rival team.

I think Cleveland is pretty fitting seeing as his most memorable game came in game 7 against the Cavs in 2008.

Bogut should be playing and starting for the Lakers - imo its just not a great decision having a 3 pt jacking, no defense playing starter in Brook Lopez. You need a big man around the offensive boards, plus defense seems to be a huge issue for the Lakers.

Also KCP is trash.

 

[jdz101]

Wiggins reminds me a lot of jeff green. Terrific athlete and has all the tools to be an all star. Just no fire in the belly.

What would be good for the Lakers is an old fashioned garbage man like OKC's Adams, or a Jordan, someone who can take the lob pass from Lonzo and is not afraid to take the ball to the hoop. Bogut is good defensively but doesn't have the offensive presence to do this, and Lopez has joined the boring trend of 7 footers who just want to hit 3 pointers. No use to the Lakers, we have enough poor percentage shooters as it is.

I agree about KCP. We've been told time and again how it was a virtual steal getting KCP, but he's shown nothing to justify this.

Even a Nick Collison would help

Once again, no scoring potential.

The Lakers were strange to watch today. Ingram was the only guy that looked like he gave a damn

 

[stewie griffen]

Warriors or clips callers

Sophies choice right there
