2. Where the hell have you been? Since youve been gone Tony Allen has turned into a combo of Ron Artest and D-Wade.

I went back east for xmas/new year's and avoided the internet like the plague (especially 2p2). Too many friends and fam to catch up with (and pounds to gain [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]). I watched all the games, though, so don't worry.

re: Big Al. I've had a man crush on him since his rookie year, so I'm glad he's coming around. What I like most is the attitude he's developed. He's still humble, but he's not afraid to thump his chest after big 3-point plays.

I also liked some of the nuggets of info in that column. For instance, the importance for rebounders to get up off the floor 4 or 5 straight times in a row. Just not something I ever thought about.

re: Tony Allen. I'm still so undecided on him. He still makes some of the dumbest plays I've ever seen. Once he starts to drive, I pretty much give up on the notion that he might pass. You can see it in the way he lowers his shoulder. You can pencil him in for at least 1 pass to the crowd a game. I like the effort, I like the confidence, I love the defense. I just hope he gets a bit smarter in his decision making.

How long before we shop Telfair? He looks terrible.

From a few games back: wtf at Doc throwing in the towel at Golden State? I supported him bringing in Powe, cuz Powe is actually solid and could develop into a good 15-20 minute a game guy on some teams. So it was fine getting him some minutes in front of his home town. But you're down 10 with 3 minutes against a defenseless team and you bring in Allan Ray, along with Delonte, Rondo, AND Telfair? Jesus. Guess it didn't matter, because I knew the game was over when Mike Dunleavy drove the lane and threw down a monster dunk.

If you are gonna play that game, how do you take Telfair over Al Jefferson?

How do you pass up on Chris Paul, etc. etc. etc.

ALso, getting rid of Raef was huge for us.

Edit: Don't mean to hate, just saying ALL GM's make mistakes, and I dont think this was a huge mistkae at all. In fact, I really like the Blazers and Celtics youth a lot. I actually just think both coaches are terrible.

[MoreWineII]

The Blazers play some of the most undisciplined basketball I've ever seen, which is surprising given their coach you'd think. I'm not sure what to think of Nate, to be fair I think what happens next season matters far more than what happens this season. If some of this stuff is still going on next season, then I might be convinced Nate's not the right guy.

Can we just rename this the "Official Blazers and Celtics Thread"?

[ClassicBob]

"Official Blazers and Celtics with occasional Suns/Mavs discussion"
