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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
