NBA '08 Playoff Thread

You have a point there. So, when Woodson gets booted, he can take Billy Knight with him.

I firmly believe the Hawks potential growth is severely limited with Woodson on hand (and Knight as well for that matter). Looking back years down the road , it could turn out I'm wrong, but I really, really don't think that will be the case.

 

I hate when a joke has to be explained . . . .

Apparently, I needed the blue font for the Rondo comment. bostonbred said a few pages back that Rondo was very close to being a premier oint guard. I was taking that to the next level.

Now back to your regularly scheduled acting like "I always thought the Cetics were SHAKY!!!"

 

Why is he a punk? For reacting when Garnett threw an elbow near his face/throat area? Is everyone supposed to back down from KG cuz he's Mr. Intensity? Fuck that.
And yeah, I'm sure the Bloods are gearing up for a run at Pachulia and Horford right now cuz Paul Pierce has them on speed dial. Pierce should worry about taking it to the hole again instead of settling for jumpers instead of trying to act like a tough guy and flashing "gang signs" to make himself look tough. THAT'S a punk.

 

Pierce wasn't flashing any "gang" signs haha.

 

Really, Canadian?

Tell us more.

 

Blue note, is indeed, your friend

 

What does Canadian have to do with it?

 

The whole gang signs debate is ridiculous. Any person who has watched even a handful of Celtics games this season has seen members of the team use the sign, which is supposed to symbolize unity or blood, sweat, and tears or something similar to that.

I loved the TNT camera showing David Stern during that little scuffle last night, sweating bullets with a goofy smile plastered on his face. What a tool.

 

Well the league never said it was a gang sign, just a menacing sign. Horford had just talked a ration of shit to Pierce and Pierce walked towards him and flashed the sign. Not sure why he would be flashing "unity" to Horford in that situation and the sign he flashed IS a gang sign. I'm not sure what he was going for; probably just pissed off and trying to send a message. But I don't find the fine ridiculous. There's too much of that crap in the game. There's nothing wrong with talking trash and playing hard, but some guys today don't understand where the line is.

 

So, Pierce was trying to inspire the Hawks? Mission accomplished.

 

Crips and Bloods (LA-area gangs, which Pierce would likely know about since that's where he's from) generally aren't known for making trouble in the Great White North.

That said, if bostonbread says that the hand sign is some cheesy thing the Celtics have come up with to inspire each other all season, I stand corrected.

I'd like to see what the sign looks like, though. Just so I can make fun of it.

 

The only sign Paul Pierce needs to be flashing is one that helps him slow down Joe Johnson and not miss layups down the stretch.
