^ Very true.
Artest drives me crazy because every once in awhile he'll put together an excellent game like last night.
That play you mentioned: curl, pass from LO at the top of the key to Kobe inside the FT line, was a very nice play.

Whoa!!!

Celtics sending Perkins to OKC for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic.

Didn't see that one coming....

 

[RFX45]

Celtics just got better, why the hell would OKC trade Jeff Green? Dude has so much potential and still very young. WTF! Yeah I'm mad!
OKC doesn't need Nate as back-up PG, Harden is good enough.

serious? dam they just got better beef up in frontcourt. perkins would never be the same anyways after the injury.

hope shaq and jermaine (and rasheed) stays down for the playoffs duration.

What is OKC doing?

They get Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson for Jeff Green (a true young stud in their system) and Nenad Krstic.

And now they get Nazr Mohammed from Charlotte for D.J. White and Mo Peterson.

I don't get it. Are they intent on becoming less athletic? I thought that was their advantage in the West. Then again, Presti is no idiot.


Rockets: Battier to Memphis for Thabeet. Hmmmm....

Trades happening everywhere.

Breaking reports say that the Boston Celtics have acquired forward Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic in a deal that would send big man Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson to the Thunder.

Yahoo! is reporting that the Rockets have traded swingman Shane Battier to Memphis for Hasheem Thabeet and a first-round pick.

The Houston Rockets have traded Aaron Brooks to Phoenix in exchange for Goran Dragic and a first round draft pick.

The Charlotte Bobcats have traded big man Nazr Mohammed to Oklahoma City for D.J. White and Mo Peterson.

The Charlotte Bobcats have traded Gerald Wallace(notes) to the Portland Blazers for Joel Przybilla(notes) and a second-round pick

are some teams just trading for the sake of trading? like us, we buy stuff on gilt or bid on ebay just because of the thrill?

i dont get this on bobcats' side.


and this one too...

The Pacers have acquired O.J. Mayo from Memphis in exchange for Josh McRoberts and a first round pick.

Well, this bodes well for the Celtics now and in the long run, especially given Green and Krstic's youth. That said, I'm extremely sad to see Perk go. The injury might have changed his game for good, but he was a great defender and a core member of the team. I guess it's just a business after all.

i think to a certain extent, there's an "act busy" motivation. that and the constant need to "tweak"
