Although I was a bit disappointed at the quality of the game, I still enjoyed myself at the game. There were a lot of empty seats, usually these games are sold-out so that was surprising but the ticket prices are so high and Houston isn't a good basketball city as far as attending games go so that isn't really surprising. The crowd was dead for most of the game, mainly because the players weren't giving us anything to be hyped for. Just chucking three's and wide open layups. Crowd didn't wake up until Kyrie murdered Knight with the Shammgod, which I marked the fuck out for. Probably the best play I've ever seen at a live game. Knight was getting him back too, he just couldn't finish.
I had a good time which is all that matters IMO, would've preferred to go to the Dunk Contest or actual ASG but ticket prices were way too high for my liking. Hopefully those events have better crowds, which I expect them to.
According to Woj, the Celtics & Clippers are discussing a deal centered around KG for Eric Bledsoe & DeAndre Jordan.
I don't know how to feel about trading KG. He's my favorite athlete ever and I'd hate to see him leave my favorite sports team. But on the other hand, the team isn't getting any younger and might as well jump-start the rebuild. But still, I'd prefer just letting Pierce & KG retire as Celtics. Idk how to feel, extremely conflicted.
Sounds like a good deal for the C's. Imagine Rondo throwing constant alleys to Jordan. I'm not a fan of KG so I'd rather have him stay on the C's so when they get bounced in the 1st round he'll be very upset. Unless him being traded would hurt him more.
Speaking of KG I turned on NBA TV once I got home and it was AllStar interviews. Hes talking bout this guy could play point,pf,sg just do it all and I was amazed he was prasing Lebron but be was talking about Jeff Green :lol
It's amazing how many people buy into Kobe being better than Lebron, simply because Jordan said he'd take Kobe. I think MJ is a little worried that the Heat are read to rattle off a run like MJ had, and LBJ could challenge him for the greatest ever spot. If Lebron wins two, then that will be tying him with Kobe because Kobe rode Shaq to three rings - Shaq was finals MVP all three of those titles (and to be completely fair - one of those titles they do not deserve because the Sacramento Kings were straight up robbed). Lebron stated judging greatness on titles alone is a bit unfair, and he's dead right. Is Bill Russell the GOAT instead of Jordan? Using Jordan's own logic - yeah he is I guess.
Magic Johnson: "If MJ and LBJ played 1 on 1 ten times, MJ would win all ten!"
I think it's kinda laughable to think Lebron wouldn't win a single game to be honest.
Lebron > Kobe all day long. More clutch and a far easier guy to like. He's not even close to the same level of douchebag that Kobe Bryant is. As a Celtics fan - Lebron's notions to the Heat crowd last year to get Miami fans to stop booing but to cheer for the Celtics last game as the Big 3 - did not go unnoticed. Nor should it by other fans of other teams. The guy's biggest flaw has been "The Decision" which to be fair was a joke, but he was like 24/25 and still a kid. He's not out raping people or anything.

Wow I dont think ive ever seen a fellow Bostonian say something like this. I gotta deal with Celtic Homers everyday. One saying PP had a better year than K Love last year and the other calling James a ballhog and in the same sentence said he'd rather play with Kobe over James. Hell even today he said Carmelo is 1st half MVP lol.
Its just funny how a guy who really doesnt care about scoring is averaging more points per game career wise over KB. Thats why I feel like if LBJ can win another title and Finals MVP they should be about equal because James could possibly be a 4 time MVP too.
I don't want Rajon Rondo in Boston either. Rather have Josh Smith, for the right price. I hope Rondo gets traded in all seriousness; he's just not the guy to lead this team. Has no perimeter shot and that makes it easier to double team others when you barely have to guard him on the perimeter.
I'd rather have Rondo than Josh Smith on a max contract. Josh Smith is overrated, he's a low IQ player and he's a blackhole on offense.
The Celtics are doing great now with Rondo, but in the playoffs, we'll miss Rondo significantly. Playoff Rondo is no joke and he carries us every year. That's when we'll truly see what Rondo brings to this team.

Josh Smith's basketball IQ is the best in the class... if Javale McGee was the only other classmate. I don't like any of the offers Atlanta is getting for him though.
A lot. A little bit less than the ASG IIRC but still a lot. Not willing to pay over $1,000 for a basketball game. Unless I was like wealthy enough to just be able to spend it like that, but I'm not.
when it was here in LA a couple years ago i only went to the convention thing. it was pretty cheap but there was nothing really to do it was mostly for kids. I saw brandon jennings and tony parker but that was about it. the only other thing i remember was seeing the d-league all-star game that day.
knight is going to make up for it and win tonight.
