Comments from the Other Side - Heat 11/29

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:03:00 -0500

These are definitely more fun to gather when we win. I am always surprised at how much bashing there is of their own players on most boards. A lot of unhappy fans out there. I hope you enjoy today's edition of Comments from the Other Side. I want to b optimistic but this is a loss. Since wade has been cold lately I'm lookin to see him sharpen it up at home, I believe we can win this, Celtics are lookin old lately Indeed, Our Team Will Win This Game, Jermaine Oneal H...

Mark Blount and Al Jefferson are Reunited

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:10:33 -0500

I grew to learn how Mark was last year, so it didn't really bother me this year. But last year [when Blount used to sulk in the locker room], it was more like, 'What's wrong with him? What's going through his head?' This year it was like, 'OK, that's just Mark.'--Al JeffersonPoor, Al.First he gets teamed with one of the worst teammates in NBA history, Mark Blount. Then he endures a series of ankle problems with the Celtics. Just when he looks like he turned...

Richardson for Blount will put more money in the coffers

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:31:14 -0500

When Glen Taylor hired David Kahn and gave him a free pass to start virtually from square one, he put a lot of responsibility on the first-time GM. For once, Taylor may have made a wise decision about that particular position within his franchise. The type of shrewd maneuvering we've seen Kahn carry out over the past few months is what we're all banking on to bring the Wolves out of futility. Up until now, you can't deny that a flurry of offseason wheeling and dealing has given...

Get to Know Brian Scalabrine

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:49:34 -0500

Brian Scalabrine is the Celtic that most fans love to hate. He is a hard working player that isn't necessarily good at anything but is a good "energy guy" and a good "locker room guy" according to Danny Ainge and most reports. He has been voted as one of the nicest guys in the league by his peers, but on a team loaded with more talented players, he is often the least popular player on the team. Although, his red hair guarantees that he is high on Tommy Heinsohn's l...

The Importance of Kendrick Perkins

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:35:52 -0500

Anyone who has been around me for more than a minute or two knows that I am a big Kendrick Perkins fan. Perk has been my favorite player since his first year with the Celtics. I love his work ethic. I love his attitude and I love the fact that he very willingly plays a role that most players would shy away from. He is our defensive stopper in the paint and he is our enforcer. In Perk's first year, he played very little, averaging only 3 minutes per game and racking up 72 DNP's. In ...

Some Thoughts and Concerns

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 19:21:06 -0500

The Celtics are the talk of the NBA these days, but there are a few concerns that have to be answered including the back up center position and coaching. It is also fun to picture Pat Riley having to deal with Mark Blount and Ricky Davis. Should be a fun year for the Heat.

ESPN is reporting that a deal is close that would send Antoine Walker to Minnesota for Ricky Davis and Mark Blount. I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the report that Shaq had decked Blount for sulking in practice.

Proof positive that if you don't have a mentor in life, you don't have nothing. Shira Springer learned that the hard way. No she wasn't great, but she wasn't a mouthpiece for a malcontent *&^%$#@ like Mark Blount. The Crack Staff has more reaction after the link!
