Are you un banzed? If so post thought in that thread. If not steal Ideas from Realgm and post them here as your own.

Also unlink your blog if you dont plan to write any more entries!
It's a news story link. Not a forum thread.

Chris Sheridan is reporting an 'exclusive' that Rondo f-bombed Doc in a team meeting and Doc then went after Rondo and they nearly fought. No details provided on when it happened.

He's saying that an intense dislike for Rondo is his reason for Doc wanting to leave the Celtics. I call intense bullshit on his story.
i think there is some merit in that

Rondo is clearly a cancer and should be traded... His off the court antics and getting to Dwight's level and Boston will be glad to get rid of him.....
I'm not sure if Rondo is a cancer or a simply scapegoat because the media don't want rag on the Media Darlings on the other side of the story every time.

I push towards the latter though. I'd take Rondo all day everyday if he was available. Sacra would also love him.

Total tongue in cheek. I think it's just all blown up and why blame Rivers when you can bring up old rumours to take away from the fact that Doc went looking for a hotter girl* while married*.

They make Rondo look like Cousins in these stories. Hilarious.

He demands everyone plays to a high standard and he gets pissed easily. Jackie Mac put it best when she said he is the Bird of the new Celtics due to the way he handles himself.

I can see the resemblance both were/are marksmen from deep.

This thread needs more Kate Upton......



As for all the bball talk, far out it is hard to keep track with so many topics going on at once

I would be rapt for the Clippers if they could land Rivers, however I would have to hate there guts if Garnett went and played for them

Interesting news about Oden, at this stage it is definitely a good option for the Heat, even if he could play 10+ minutes a game it would be a huge win for us considering how limited Haslem is due to his size

Yeah i saw that.... I wonder if the Bucks would look at it. Dallas won't take on salary, and the only other option would be OKC at 12 but that might be a reach and I doubt they want to take that much salary on. It depends what pick they want back. If they are targeting the likes of Schroeder and Karasev they'd need something in the top 20 you'd think. Hawks could be another option, but if the Rox are targeting Howard then they probably won't want to help them. Cavs could work, but pick 19 might not get it done.
The Hawks have picks 17 and 18 and once Paul is out of their reach i think they may just take Robinson on to play next to Horford.

It is also possible Morey has leaked this information to get others interested in making some offers.

That is solely in context of relationship with to the media.

I read it as you were talking about his attitude all round with the team.
I was talking about his personality and how he conducts himself everywhere.

I've heard on WEEI (I think) he is quite demanding behind the scenes as well.

Still think they're similar personality wise.

Sure why not? She's a well respected journalist.
You don't need Basketball IQ to be a good Journalist...there are plenty of talented Journalists who don't know jackshit about the sport they are writing about...case in point, Caroline Wilson.

Being able to articulate yourself on paper has nothing to do with understand sport. I listen to her talk enough about sport on ESPN and comparing Rondo to Larry ******* Bird just supports my view...she is the token white female journo.

I've never seen a Pablo on there but I haven't seen/listened to it for a few months now. I was thinking more of the Woody Page, Izzy Gutierez, Bomarni Jones, Bob Ryan, Michael Smith and Tim Cowlishaw type drones.
