"They Are Going To Win A Game Sometime"

Once again, I’m rooting for Rivers to break the NBA record for consecutive losses. In fact, I’d love to see the streak hit 30 or 35. Rivers deserves to have that on his resume.

I’d like to know what the record is too. I bet it is 20 .

I meant to write… I bet the record is more than 20.

Who cares this organization is a disgrace. Owners are a disgrace. GM is a disgrace. Coach is inept. The young players at least have some pride. No one else in the organization seems to.

Our lassies have dropped two notches to #27 on the power rankings for dancing teams.

The record for one season is 23, held by the Grizz (1995-96, team finished 11-71) and the Nuggets (1997-98, team finished 15-67). The overall consecutive loss record is 24, held by the Cavs, but the Cavs did it over a span of two seasons (81-82 and 82-83). Those two Cleveland teams finished 15-67 and 23-59.

Orlando lost 19 straight the year Rivers was fired, with Rivers responsible for 12 of those losses, and Johnny Davis losing the other 7.

An interesting question is how many consecutive losses it would take for Rivers to be fired. My guess is that it doesn’t matter, since neither Grousbeck nor Ainge seems capabel of admitting that he made a mistake. Everything is attributed to youth or bad luck.

Whenever I think of Rivers, I’m reminded of ee cummings’ line: “a salesman is an it that stinks excuse.”

SportsCenter just showed a feature on the Celtics’ ineptitude leading into a discussion with Schlereth and Legler about tanking in the NFL and NBA.

Legler when asked if there was tanking in the NBA: “Absolutely not”

Good call, Mark Madsen is right there with you, idiot.

A “W” for the Cs tonight, not in the cards. Amazing how Doc can talk about players needing to “earn” their minutes. At one point does a losing coach no longer “earn” the right to coach this team?

The losing streak will and should end on Valentine’s Day with the Bucks.

Agree with Stein, Pierce’s injury a little too convenient. Out of the clear blue this happens when he’s ready to play again. I know Pierce is a warrior but something just doesn’t seem to add up. What the heck, ping pong balls are ping pong balls.

God, Szczerbiak is an awful defender. Just awful. How much money does he make per year?

And there’s Linda Rhonstadt at tonights game pointing to our huddle during a timeout in the 3rd Q and she’s singing, You’re no good, you’re no good, baby you’re no good. Well, see if I buy a greatest hits CD from that has been.

well, guess tonight was not the night!

Well nyfan, there’s the old joke about the man who went to the lecture on male sexuality conducted by a famous therapist. There were quite a few men there.

At one point the therapist asks, “OK, how many of you make love to your wives every night?” A smattering of men, mostly in their 20’s, raise their hands.

“Ok, how may of you make love 2-3 times a week?” More hands

“Once per week?” More hands

“Once per month?” a smattering of hands.

“Once per year?” A few old geezers raise their hands.

“Ok, how about once every ten years?” At this point a man in the back starts waving his hands wildly, jumping up and down and yelling “me, me!!”

“Ok the therapist asks, but why are you so excited”

The man replies, “Tonight’s the night! Tonight’s the night!”

That guy must have been a Celtics fan.

Marc Stein stopped just short of calling Pierce’s injuries exaggerated).

 Well why wouldn’t he? I mean 95% of the fans on this site are saying the same thing, with no discouragement.

 In the meantime Paul Pierce sits in a hospital, probably hooked up to an IV getting antibiotic treatments, after getting his elbow drained once again, exactly what I’m sure he wants to be doing tonight, and the so called Celtics faithful are auditioning for Saturday Night Live segments at his expense.

Pitiful.

haha telfailure is a pretty funny name!
