Game Day: Suns (5-5) @ Celtics (3-5), Mon 11/17/14

[Cap]

Remember this?

There is both a lesson and an opportunity in this experience: I learned the lesson the hard way - the opportunity is to ensure others don't. ... I will not let you down.

So far as I have noticed, he has yet to take advantage of that "opportunity," but he has brought the incident back to the forefront of our minds by earning another suspension.

Time to start acting responsibly, P.J. My patience is wearing thin.

[Superbone]

Wow, what a game! We got to see some of the future of the Phoenix Suns. And how can an NBA player be such a bad shooter? Jeez, Rondo.

[Superbone]

This has been a highlighly entertaining game. I like what the celtics are doing...I would use Jeff Green at the deadline to get even more assets. Someone will bite I feel

The dude was automatic from the right side once he got close to the basket.

[Superbone]

The Suns always have great games in Boston...remember the Marbury and Joe Jonson team coming from 24 down? How about Amare vs KG a few years ago?

Don't forget Amare knocking Paul Pierce's tooth out.

[Superbone]

Damnit I was meaning to watch the celtcis broadcast...I love hearing Tommy Heinson Bitch.

Me too! I taped them both. Gonna go back and watch the second half with Tommy now.

[Superbone]

Rondo with three bricks from the line.

Go figure the last one he tries to miss, he almost makes.

[Superbone]

Markieff giving TJ the post-game pep talk

People love to dump on Kieff. He went 30,7,5,4 tonight. So yea...his haters can choke on that

The guy seems automatic from mid-range.

[Superbone]

If he can just stay healthy...

Speaking of which, wonder what Robot is thinking (if his head hasn't exploded already)...

Good question. He hasn't been around to take his lumps.

[Superbone]

Um, I just saw the highlight where he lead the fast break himself and dunked it. Wow.

I loved his primal scream.

This kid is making a believer out of me.

The one time Amare defended, right? Or was it the game where he had 8 assists and started to talk about point-center?

[Superbone]

Powers died of a stroke in 1998 in Allentown, Pennsylvania at the age of 67.

...still was an asshole.

Is one really bad split-second decision enough to qualify him as an asshole, or is there more to your comment than 1976?

Wow, what a sad life after his refereeing career was over.

[INFORMER]

And Len. Wow. Guy is going to be a monster.

Hopefully.

Well, he's no Kelly Olynyk, but he doesn't look like a complete bust to you, does he?

My knock against Len was never that he was unskilled or lacking in ability. I felt his selection was needlessly reckless and that there were better options available. So two great games doesn't dispel. It is encouraging though.

[INFORMER]

And considering that pick was one of your biggest McDonough criticisms, if Len pans out, do you reverse course on McDonough's tenure?

Not after this past offseason. It has the potential to join 2010 and 2012 in infamy. What on earth is up with even-number year offseasons? Ugh.

[INFORMER]

As it stands, I believe that P.J. and Thomas will be the ones dealt if we're to make any moves this season - Horford's deal fits like a glove, but regardless, I think those two will be the first to go in any deals.

Why would Atlanta want either (even with picks)?

They wouldn't. Atlanta could do much better. I'm not sure why Swing keeps pushing that deal.

Markieff giving TJ the post-game pep talk

Unless the criticism was "Markieff never has a great game," I'm not sure what there is to choke on. But ok.

[iLLmatic]

How did the Celtics color commentator get that job? He adds absolutely nothing to the broadcast as far as analysis is concerned.

I think they could be interested in PJ (Thabo looks close to done), but not Thomas. Teague is solid and Schroder is showing enough flashes to keep giving him minutes.

How many great games to dispel? 20? 40? 82? 3 years?

Tommy Heinson? Seriously?

His homerism knows no bounds. The Celtic fans must like him.

But how did he get it? He's a Celtic legend as both player and coach.
