All purpose NBA thread 07/08

Apparently, Isiah has learned that Eddy Curry cannot play defense. No, really.

 

Knicks fans are getting better with their protests. They took a giant pink slip with signatures for Zeke to MSG.

Celtics get their first real test tonight, hosting Detroit on ESPN at 7 p.m. EST.

Is Ray Allen back?

 

Celtics lead 52-45 at halftime, but Boston has made 60 percent of its shots and Detroit just 39 percent of its shots.

 

Is Allen back?

 

And today's Daily News had a "Fire Isiah" poster/page with instructions for fans to hold it up at the Garden the next time the Knicks are getting blown out!

 

Brandon Roy is good.

And anyone ---- you know who you are ---- who thought J.J. Reddick would be a better NBA player than Roy should not be allowed to post a basketball-related thought for one year.

 

Yep. Eddie House just gave the Celtics a chance. THey are down 85-82 with less than a minute to go.

 

And Allen just tied it with a 3-pointer in a defenders face.

85-85 with 18.9 left.

 

Detroit matches up very, very well with the Celtics.

If they meet up in a seven-game series, I do not think the Celts would be favored by that much, if anything.

 

Exactly, though Pierce played like shit tonight. Of course, a lot of that had to do with Prince's defense.

Tony Allen should not be attempting to guard Chauncy Billups with 1.7 seconds left in the game. That was a terrible way to lose.

 

Pierce played bad, but that was the worst game I've seen Rasheed Wallace play in a Pistons uniform and Prince only scored two.

I think Detroit would take the C's in six.
