Boston Celtics vs. New Jersey Nets: 11/14/07 - Open Game Thread

Go Celtics.

Here's a point about the Nets in general and Richard Jefferson in particular. Remember when Jefferson annoyed Gilbert Arenas last summer because of a donation to Arizona. True Hoop was all over it. Well two and a half months later and Arenas is struggling to come back from his knee injury and his team stinks. Meanwhile, Jefferson is in the midst of a career year. Maybe those Arizona rankings are not set in stone. Two final points:

  • It was definitely one of those occasions where a guy (Arenas) was joking around. And yet you get the sense that Agent 0 was a bit annoyed and it was not entirely a joke.
  • I think the "selfish gym" incident as I like to call it marked the start of Arenas falling out of favor. I still enjoy everything about him but notice a lot more negativity towards him this year. And yes a lot of that has to do with his Celtics prediction. Regardless it is an interesting development.  
Moving on. The Cooz is in the house! Can his new found optimism continue?

Odd but true
I could listen to Bob Cousy analyze players' foul shooting form for at least a half hour. It would be a better TV show than Everybody Loves Raymond, Two and a Half Men and many more.

Does not hate the flop. That caught me a bit off guard.

Sean Williams
Blocks shots. He just sent one of Big Baby's flying and when Cooz went critical you know that Tommy jumped to defend his boy. Good stuff.

James Posey
Is the player the Celtics always pretend that Brian Scalabrine is. Think about it.

More on Williams
Are we sure he was smoking weed at BC? Is heroin out of the question?

Cousy
Just said that Paul Pierce is developing Hall of Fame credentials this year. Who are you and what have you done with Bob Cousy?!

I gotta get in on the open thread.
It seemed early on that this was gonna be one that went down to the wire. Cous even started to sound cynical again. and then I awake from my rum haze to see that we are up by 15 with plenty of time left in the 4th. Even the hard fought wins are blow outs.

yeah
i was starting to get nervous there...the game just started out with the nets in control, and then all of a sudden they fell apart and the C's dominated
