You should “guaranteez it” like that old Louisiana chef used to in the early, early days of cable tv cooking shows. A plain old guarantee is relatively worthless in comparison.

And he was horrible in ’06. The whole Mavs team was out of their minds last year. Just wasn’t our time yet. YET.

Terry is not better than Allen on a team. Which is what they are playing on. Lol. I mean seriously allen is the BEST 3 point shooter in the game and I guarantee you he scores more than terry next year and I guarantee the heat have a better record. He will hit the 3 all day while James and wade drive the lane.

You must be mistaken.

If you read Kurt Helin and PBT more often you’d know that Paul Pierce didn’t have an injured knee, Ray Allen didn’t have bone spurs, and that the Celtics, along with Bradley were fully healthy.

That’s what allowed the Celtics to take an old decimated injured Heat to the final minutes of Game 7…

… according to what I read here that is.

Bah, I thought he dislocated it against the Heat.

I only know what Kurt tells me – and he tells me that a healthy Celtics team was lucky to take an injured Heat team to 7 games.

Now if I can just figure out why I can’t find any stats for Bradley in the Eastern Championship series..

Great point.

That’s why you see a lot of players take a huge statistical spiral around 27/28 if they haven’t been working on their basketball skill set over the years.

Nowistki, Bryant, KG in particular are all guys who added a lot of longevity to their careers by expanding their repetoire every off-season.

That picture of Jason Terry doing the airplane thing was after he hit a basket that took his efficiency from 1-6 to 2-7.

Maybe because the man’s shoulder separated during one of the games.
Paul Pierce had a bum knee,
Ray Allen had bone spurs in his ankles.
And they still took the Heat to 7 games.

I respect the Celtics but I hope the JET crashes and burns miserably ..never could stand this overrated blow-hard who clearly thinks he’s better than he is

It’s not just Terry. Having Bradley as the starter instead of Allen should help too, and Terry is an upgrade over Allen on the bench (regardless of whether Heat fans think they have the better Sixth man)

Although I still can’t figure out why Bradley did so poorly against the Heat in the playoffs. After all, from what I read here the Celtics were healthy and were lucky the Heat were injured.

ray allen possesses 3 key attributes needed to get a deal as an old guy in the nba.

pure shot
high IQ
leadership

guys who rely on athleticism and talent quickly learn there aren’t too many deals when those things start to diminish.
