I’m going to have to bet that the USA Select Team will give Team USA at least one embarrassing spanking along the way…

looking at the poll results, it looks like the overwhelming response is “no stupid nicknames!”

so that means I’ll have to be more creative in how I refer to them :D

Well, according to hoopshype.com, Sarunus’ agent is hoping he can play with Boston. How about that.

You’ve got to love Gomes.

Can anyone translate the new Hoopshype article/rumor about Sarunas Jasikevicius coming to the Celtics?

Y lo reafirmÃ³ a SPORT el agente del jugador, Mauricio Balducci: â€œEl BarÃ§a nos ha llamado, como otros equipo de Europa y de la NBA, pero no tenemos las manos libres para negociar porque Jasikevicius tiene contrato con Golden State y todo depende de ellos. Lo mÃ¡s seguro es que no se quede en los Warriors, porque se siente frustrado al no jugar muchos minutosâ€. Boston se ha interesado por el lituano, quien verÃa con buenos ojos incorporarse al equipo de Kevin Garnett. â€œEsperemos que pueda ir a los Celticsâ€, apostillÃ³ Balducci.

Gomes is awesome, it’s unfortunate the way he found out about the trade, especially at his basketball camp in New England. Since he’s a Twolf now, i’m sure he’ll be “getting his sleep the night before” he plays us, and will be exposed come game night. Al’s lack of Defense will also be exposed when Kevin Garnett manhandles him. Al will put up between 14-17ppg this year no mistake about it, but will allow 20 points to be scored on him, by us.

*at least 20points

Anyone have a guess as to what it would take to get Sarunas? I’m guessing a package of Scal (for salary) plus either Pruitt or a 2nd rounder next year.
