Board 8 > NBA Topic 5.5: Ya'll let it purge while I was away.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Russ got ejected tonight when he was one assist away from a triple double in a real ugly game against Sacramento.

GSW shooting 28 free throws vs 13 for Cleveland tonight tells the story lol
---

Whoa Timberwolves and Spurs are tied in the rankings now.

i hope to hear more

If they really did push into the opposing locker room to continue stuff from on the court, they should be given harsh suspensions. 10-15 games each.
---

LMAO this gets funnier the more I read about it

apparently Chris Paul led his teammates through a secret corridor so they could go confront Austin Rivers, who is on crutches.

If you wanna see true comedy, here's Barkley and Shaq reacting to the news that Police were called.

"Help, police! Chris Paul tried to beat me up!" lmfao
---

I guess it's not the best look for the president of the player's union to go look for locker room fights
---

LOL

Wow the story gets better and better
---

Supposedly they also used Capela as a Trojan horse, while he was knocking on the front door they snuck around through the secret passage
---

it's the NBA's fault the topic purged

celtics had 4 days off before london and 4 days off after

can't expect the fans of the league to continue paying attention during that, tbqh

I'm really nervous to be as excited as I am.

celtics look like they got purged with the last topic lmao

How a team with a player as good as Anthony Davis is as mediocre as the Pelicans is a total mystery to me

Actually the more I watch this team play the general reason I'm coming up with is "none of their guards or wings close out on threes"
---

turns out the celtics have a tough time defending two elite 7 footers at once

They've had a tough time with Davis even when Boogie's been sitting for long stretches with foul trouble, though
---

yeah, davis has been shooting like dirk this game - he's usually open from 17, but he's hit a bunch with al right in his face, too
---

that travel call was so generous lmao

huuuge game from theis late

garbage game from kyrie and our offense unfortunately
---

Gooooo Pelicans
---

can never take any positives away from a loss at home. hope we smash them in NOLA.

hope we sweep philly on thursday.
---

I am still reeling from "Help, police! Chris Paul tried to beat me up!"

Magic had the secret weapon Arron Afflalo
---

man I've always disliked Paul Pierce and his little ego trip over his jersey retirement pretty much confirms everything that I thought about him
---

the NBA is fueled by ego and pettiness
---

Unless you're Joe Dumars.

Boogie seems pretty inconsistent whenever I see him play

Also they have a pretty tough schedule so that probably doesnt help (although other teams probably have it tougher)

This seems like a petty gripe about him. Like every NBA player is like this. Seriously man what up

i love paul pierce.

i also love rajon rondo and this makes me want to trade the flat earth guard for him again.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/7qyi3o/rondo_not_holding_back_his_thoughts_on_the/

Rajon Rondo was irked to hear that the Celtics would honor Isaiah Thomas on any night. "What has he done? Rondo asked. Told that he led the Celtics to the conference finals last year, Rondo remarked, Oh, thats what we celebrate around here?

More Rondo on IT: This is the Boston Celtics. This isnt the Phoenix Suns, no disrespect to any other organization, but you dont hang conference titles. Do we hang going to the conference finals? What do we hang here? Title banners, Rondo was told. OK, cool, Rondo said.
---

As much as I love IT4, his Book of Isaiah stuff and wanting the tribute moved to Paul Pierce day is worse than Paul Pierce wanting Paul Pierce day to stay Paul Pierce day. it doesn't matter to me though, just that... these guys are all kinda thin skinned rich dinks

This is why I was scared to be optimistic.

Then again, the Spurs lost to the Hawks the day before. We aren't alone.
---

Wolves have a hilariously bad record against the East, its not that shocking
---

Magic were guaranteed to win that match. We had just worked out way to best draft odds, had to mess that up

NO DISRESPECT TO ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION THO!! Caps

Luckily in the playoffs they don't have to worry about that until the finals
---

I dislike all three of Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, and Isiah Thomas so I don't really know who to make the villain here.
---

as long as the wolves get to the playoffs and face the cavs in the finals they're golden

any other east team...
---

I am already tired of the Wolves and kind of want them to go back to mediocrity.

Which they will after Thibs runs his starters into the ground by March.
---

Kawhi out indefinitely again

also the three players the Bulls got for Butler (Dunn, Lavine, and Markannen) are all doing really well, trade's definitely a win win as of right now
---

I like all 3 of Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, and IsAiah Thomas so none of them are to me. They all make valid points.

Kawhi out is LMA's wet dream
---

time for the spurs to tank, tbqh.

also pierce rondo and IT the GOAT trio. just needs more KG
---

I'm not sure why this IT stuff is getting blown up. Literally what has he done for everyone to start shitting on him other than Boston fans being Boston fans? Pierce, Rondo, and KG look like idiots
---

Lol
---

i've never seen any boston fans here shit on THE KING IN THE FOURTH. what he did last season was legit heroic

that said, i vastly enjoy the salty, ornery, asshole rajon rondo, and i *love* that he seems to identify as a celtic still
---

Fair, perhaps I shouldn't have included the fans.

Just the players coming out and trash talking IT after he already said he didn't want the video on Pierce's night and Pierce should have the spotlight.

like what
---

yeah I love the "we" talk from Rondo. I still have his jersey and wear it sometimes. He'll always be a Celtic to me
---

Rondo's so quirky, I like it. He's a "you like him or you don't" kind of guy prob.

Also yeah Boston fans love IT, myself included. Still don't like the way we traded him, even though the move seems to have paid off for us. Personally I think it's IT's fault for requesting his tribute video get rescheduled, like I get he wasn't playing in their first game in Boston but idk what he expected. I agree that having his tribute video, regardless of length, played during the game that's supposed to be Pierce's retirement ceremony is a little weird but that being said, I don't think it's as big a deal as people made it out to be. As stated, IT already said he declined the vid so this trash talking was unnecessary, but I like it.
