Three Pointers - 4/14

by Jeff Clark on Apr 14, 2008 8:00 AM EDT in Boston Celtics Articles

A few short thoughts as I try to shake off a "case of the Mondays."

I agree with the thoughts and sentiments of the Celtics players and coaches. Sam I Am is crazy, ...and I dig that about him. I don't know anyone that could keep a straight face watching him drain those three pointers and come dancing up the court to amuse the bench. Sure, it was a little crass, but only in a harmless way. Then again, I was always a fan of the Walker Wiggle, and even I have to admit that it got old after a while. Especially when he broke it out at odd moments (dancing when down by 13?). Still, I think Sam knew the situation and picked his spot wisely. He knows what it takes to win a title and I think he'll go a long way towards keeping things loose when players might feel the weight of the world on their shoulders. Oh yeah, and he can hit the occasional big shot too.
Bob Cousy scored 16,955 regular season points. Paul Pierce now has 16,938. Just thought you'd like to know.
If you are wondering where Danny Ainge is during all this hype, look no further than the Portsmouth Invitational and the Nike Hoop Summit, where likely 2nd rounders work to impress scouts and GMs enough to jump up to the end of the first round, where the Celtics will be picking. Few can find more gems in the late rounds better than Danny Ainge and I'm looking forward to seeing who he comes up with this year.

I read in the “Globe” that KG wants to throw Sam out of his house. He’s tired of cooking, cleaning, ironing his shirts and carrying his luggage. Is this the start of disharmony on the Team. Couldn’t come at a worse time.

That isn’t disharmony. It is the opposite. It is KG feeling comfortable enough with Sam to say something like that without having it bother him. They are just having fun.

Cousy also played before the shot clock, just for the record.

TrueGreen….you cant be serious ;D. Its all in fun. Those two guys are like brothers. Trust me, if it was a problem I am certain Sam would be housing somewhere else. You think he couldn’t afford a very luxurious hotel suite? No need to panic. Some of us fans need to learn to have fun as well and not panic over every little thing. This has been a wonderful season. LET’S ENJOY!!! GO CELTS!!!

FLCeltsFan, mainevent—Just trying to stir up a controversy as we await the playoffs. I was kidding.

sammy is a hammy all right especially when he delivers like he did the other night. let’s hope danny comes up with a defensive phenom at the 2-3 position so doc and the c’s have an option to play around with tony’s spot on the roster.

I’m not gonna lie, if I were the other team’s fan, I would be yapping about Sam’s actions. BUT, I love the C’s and was in tears laughing watching Sam acting like a little kid. Hilarious!
