Kevin Garnett's Career.

Jul 31, 2007 19:19

Right now, it is very possible that five years into the future, Kevin Garnett will be in a mansion's den, by himself, shaking his fist after an interview, knowing that the day his career died was when he changed his number after the Minnesota-Boston trade.

Remember how you disowned the Lions after the Harrington debacle? I'm there. Actually, I've been there for a while but this one pretty much is the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak.

Fucking McHale.

We knew it was inevitable that KG would be unloaded for a huge pile of mid-level players. jefferson has the chance to be somewhat of a breakout. but the rest... hmmph... and gee we get one of our picks back from another retarded trade. WOO HOO

All i can wish is that Boston goes down in flames next year.

The wolves will be hard pressed to be as pathetic as they were last year, with or without KG. But they just lost any shot at season ticket renewals.

ESPN says this is great for Boston.

When accounting for their Atlantic bias, that means this is a sideways deal for both teams that will just as likely continue a parade of buffoonery for Boston, so you just may get your wish.

Yeah, I was done with the T-Wolves before they hit the conference series in '04, so I can completely understand the entire Minnesota Nation going, in unison, "Up Yours, Kevin McHale."

Perhaps this will come with a change in front office as well as a change in court personnel. You could only hope, but when I read in Detroit how that old geezer Clay Ford talks about sunny side up philosophy with the Lions every year at this time, I can only guess that Kevin will select Ndudi Ebis 2 and 3 from those two picks.

If LeBron James and four waterboys can win the East, then the Boston Celtics with three superstars and not much else should be at the very least a lock for the conference finals, no? I didn't see the conference get that much better, and sure, I could see Chicago, the BronBrons or maybe even Orlando or Detroit knocking the Celts out early, but at this point, don't they have to be the on-paper favorites to be the East's sacrificial lamb come June '08?

Also, you don't know how hard it is for me right now. The Braves made the biggest trade deadline moves in baseball. In football, the Pats are loaded. Now the Celts traded their way into contention. These are all teams I hate, and teams that will probably do better than my teams in those sports. I guess there's always the NHL though. *sigh*

LeBron James and four waterboys got lucky when Detroit had hiccups because their coach was fucking retarded. They didn't win a goddamn thing, as far as I'm concerned.

Or I could put it this way - I know how Philly suffers, so don't forget that.

Beyond that, nobody talked any hype during 02-05 when Detroit was gaining steam. They were making trades the whole damn time, and even after the championship, the media would not hype Detroit that offseason. The story was "no, Detroit won't repeat. Impossible."

So excuse me if I, for one, would like to congratulate King James for absolutely nothing, since that motherfucker has amounted to shit over all of his seasons to date. As for Boston, they still have Ainge and Rivers. Amounts to shit.

Another afterthought:

Cleveland's waterboys are better quality than what lurks behind Boston's Big Three.

There's another separate quality that Cleveland possesses, and that is the horrible surprise of solid perimeter defense. One would never think such of the Cavs, but one rarely thought of it for New Jersey or Indiana in previous years, either.

Rondo can likely achieve a tight perimeter, but I seriously doubt Allen will, even if Doc calls for tight coverage along the outside. Pierce? Nah, I doubt he'll make an NBA defensive team in the future. KG? Yeah, he's on point with the D, and if Kendrick Perkins cuts down the fouls then he'll form a tight interior with KG, but when I see "if" or "could" or "possible" or "has the potential" or "future" in a defense of something, this becomes the point where it does not apply to defense of right nowSo, hogwash with their Scalabrine backups. I'd take a Gooden (pure backup himself, your perfect description of "waterboy") over Scalabrine any day, and having crap for bench pretty much ( ... )
