Three Pointers - 4/15

by Jeff Clark on Apr 15, 2008 7:45 AM EDT in Humor

Some points to ponder as you continue to procrastinate on your taxes.

I was all set to watch the game, get involved in the chat, post a picture after the game, and maybe do some game analysis last night. But Doc approached me before the game and said "I think we're going to take it easy tonight. We won't be playing KG, Paul, or Ray, so I'm gonna have you sit this one out too. Rest your fingers and stay off the couch for a few days. Maybe go outside and breathe some fresh air while you still can. I want you fresh for the playoffs and I don't want to risk carpel tunnel on a game against the Knicks." So I took his advice. I didn't watch last night. I didn't even DVR the game. And you know what, I feel great about it. Thanks Doc. You really are a players coach!
In other NBA news, the Warriors drew the short straw out West and won't get to play in the big dance. In the East, the Hawks drew the short straw and have to play the Celtics in the first round. It says here that the Pacers dodged a bullet. They get a shot at the lottery and at worst the 11th pick in the draft instead of a first round trouncing and the 15th pick. Well played Larry, well played.
The Hawks shouldn't be overlooked, but I really don't know who I want more in the 2nd round. The Wiz give us fits and the Cavs have King James. Pick your poison. Then (theoretically) it is the Pistons. The road to 17 won't be an easy one.

Jeff, you missed Rajon posting up Nate Robinson over and over and over again. And not missing a shot. Doc told him to use his speed in the second half, but do you think the posting up is coming from Sam.

rondo on the post-ups was magnifico. maybe we can suit up doc and he can play some point for atlanta. i also hope kg does not lose his scoring touch with all the rest he’s getting.

I worry more about Washington/Cleveland and Detroit than San Antonio or LA.

And the Jazz. I’m a little concerned about the Jazz.

either way you shake it, this is going to be a fun-to-watch post season for Celtic fans.

Jeff don’t feel bad. I too have been “taking it easy” these last few games (as evidenced by my disappearance from the chat room) and just DVRing them and watching them later. Nothing wrong with that when everyone’s on coast mode and I have to mentally prepare myself for a deep playoff run.

okay, i don’t want to freak out, but ESPN reports pierce is having x-rays on his “injured wrist.”

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

First I want to thanks all those that took part in the chat last night…might have been the best night ever ;D …I worry about the Lebron “never fouls or travels” factor but, it really doesn’t matter who we play in the second round..this team is on a mission.

What an idiot!!!!! I’ve watched almost every game since Larry Birds rookie year. Yeah, that’s right I’m a fair weather fan. How about getting paid millions of $$$ to be a fair weather player. He needs a diaper to go along with his little bibby!
