BOSTON, July 30 (AP)-- Kevin Garnett is leaving Minnesota after the Boston Celtics agreed to acquire the All-Star forward in a multiplayer trade with the Timberwolves, a Celtics official told The Associated Press on Monday.

[RavesIsBack]

too bad Garnett is a bitch and says he would opt out next year if he got traded to them. He is dumb, he could be a legend if he sticks with Boston and leads them to the playoffs, I mean him and Pierce are more than enough to get a playoff spot in the East

[VaSkimer18]

they are still going to suck, it dosnt matter

[RexSkimmer]

yep

[coleberr]

im from boston and i have a feeling were still gonna suck but it doesnt matter cause the only legit basketball organization is mens NCAA

[junwin]

whats not legit about the NBA?? apart from referees who also gamble on games..............lawl

[VaSkimer18]

im no basketball expert but even with KG, Pierce and Allen they will still have a hard time making the playoffs in the east. The Pistons are in it ever year. Cleveland looks better then ever. Orlando had a good season last year and made the playoffs. Shaq probably has another good year in him. And the Wizards are going to be contenders again.

[junwin]

youve only named 5 teams in the east that you think would be better....

there are 8 spots. but yeah, if KG doesnt actually want to be a Boston ballplayer, then they wont go anywhere

[VaSkimer18]

well to make my point let me name more...

The Nets and Raptors had good season's last year including playoff runs for both teams, they will be contenders again this season. And last but not least the Bulls. Sheed and Gordon are going to take them back to the playoffs.

[RavesIsBack]

they'll make the playoffs, but thats about it

with KG they would be better than the Nets, the Magic, the Wizards

Bulls, Cavs, Pistons, Heat, Raptors are better

[junwin]

what he said

[ZapBulletRider]

Cleveland looks better then ever.
except for the fact that they looked better in 05-06...

The east fucking sucks right now. I like Garnett, and I like their chances. He had a worse squad than this with Sprewell and Cassell and they had a GREAT season (04 maybe?). Who knows. I do think he's better off than sticking w/ the wolves.

[BDirty]

The Celtics should finish in the top 3 in the east next year, they wont be in the finals, but they will be a decent ball team.


Ray Allen-BALLER
Pierce-Never hada big man as center to pass down low to.
Garnett-New Big man in town to change the Boston organization as we know it!

I am a fan of 2 NBA teams Heat and Celtics being from Boston they havent been a good team since Larry left.

Go Celts
Go Heat!

[ZapBulletRider]

Go Denvarrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BDirty]

Damn your up early too ZBR....

The Nuggets...?? Noaaaaa fukn way.

[ZapBulletRider]

are you kidding? Any team with iverson has the potential to be a threat. Then you factor in who would have been the scoring champ last season, the defensive player of the year, and the newest Head Nigger In Charge fvcking Nene. I was the biggest Nene hater before but this guy has got steez, AND he's a monster on top of that. Big man w/ finesse, hard to come by. They will be monsters this year. Not to mention if Iverson played for an age 14-16 rec team I'd be repping them till the end. Last season was doomed, but this season will POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

[BDirty]

I didnt hear about Iverson going to the Nuggets..

[ZapBulletRider]

hahaha are you serious? This happened in the middle of last season! He played the best ball he's played in his life. He's so fucking efficient now it's scary.

http://espn-ak.starwave.com/photo/2007/0122/nba_g_iverson_melo_412.jpg

[BDirty]

oh well, I guess I was paying more attention to the Heat then the Nuggets

[junwin]

i agree about Nene stepping up. when he dropped his last name i was like... faayygg

but last year he took off the skirt

[ZapBulletRider]

yeah I knew my nigga jun would weigh in on the nugs

[junwin]

this is how we do

[VaSkimer18]

they are coming off their best season ever, even though they blew it in the championship. Im pretty sure no one from last years team is leaving and Mike Brown now has an even better idea of what he is doing in the playoffs.

Im not saying they are going to do the same thing as last year, but they will make the playoffs

[ZapBulletRider]

I disagree, the East was stronger in 05-06 and the Cavs were playing more cohesively, at least in the playoffs. LeBron seemed to be playing with more fire as well. IDK, this season started off well but they fell off quickly.

[RavesIsBack]

Go Celts
Go Heat!

Pierce- still doesnt have a big man as center. Garnett does not play center, in fact Al Jefferson was the best center he had and is going to be a stud, but they traded him for KG
Ray Allen - Baller...when not injured, and old
Garnett- OVER-RATED, chi chi chi chi chi, OVER-RATED.

They will be good in the East, mainly because the East sucks, not because they are that good

[junwin]

KG aint overrated dude, the best PF in the game bar Tim Duncan....if u conside amare a C , which i do

aint dont be bringing this Dirk shit into it, dirk can derelict my balls

[ZapBulletRider]

KG is DEFINITELY not overrated. He is a fucking beast. Did you watch his MVP season? And even since then he's still continually one of the top 5 most efficient players in the leage. Without even looking I'm betting if you checked the efficiency rating on NBA.com he's top 5 from the last 4 seasons.

edit: well I don't know how to check the previous 3 but for last season he was #1

[ZapBulletRider]

it's official now btw, he's in boston

[junwin]

gawd dayum i cant wait to play as the celts in nba 2k8 / live 08 next year, they are gonna be dominant

[BDirty]

TRUE KG is a great player but while in Minnasota he had little talent around him, now he has some ballers to make his game that much better. The Celtics should be contenders...!!!

[junwin]

celts only have like 8 players at the moment, need a minimum of 12

gonna be some shoddy FAs or D League call ups getting some time, at the moment they have got it made at every starting position.....except C and PG....whihc are kind of important

KG is not a top 5 player in the league, where he is considered, so hence overrated. He is overrated, and I have said it for a long time. Doesnt make him a bad player, Lebron is overrated in my opinion, but it also means he is not that great.

He has 0 rings, 0 championship appearances, 1 MVP. If i were building a team and in fact any intelligent basketball analyst would not put him on their team. The guy is a big stick figure that has pretty numbers but really does not dominate the game. Tim Duncan DOMINATES the game, KG just gets the numbers.

[RJ_from_NJ]

Hey, my dad was drafted by the Celts and I've been a huge fan even living in NJ. I also love the Bruins so I aint be no mofo'in bandwagoner.

The Celtics couldn't exactly get Tim Duncan. And who did Kevin Garnett have in Minnesota? Ricky Davis? Michael Olawakandi? Wally? Some all-start team he had around him over the years. It takes more then 1 to get to the Western Conference finals yeah KG managed to do it once. I'm sure he can do something with Paul "I'm fucking amazing" Pierce and Ray "I drop bucketss all day" Allen.

[RavesIsBack]

and? He does NOT dominate the game. He gets his points, he gets his boards true and is a great player, but he is not a dominate player. I want dominate players on my team. for example, Melo is a great scorer, Lebron is a great all around player, Dwade is a dominate player

that excuse has been around for so long, but i agree with skip bayless, if Tim Duncan were on the T-wolves and the Spurs had KG, the Spurs would have 0 rings and the T-wolves would be a perennial force

[DT]

Raves, you giant bastard, asshole, sports, know-it-all...

Ummm, hehehe, you want to be my consultant for me for my family fantasy football? I need a ringer!

Hahahah! I'm just picking shit totally at random :D

[DT]

I think my BOL already did the draft, I'll post some players and you can tell me my level of screwedness...

[junwin]

Raves isnt a know-it-all, he just said Tim duncan doesnt dominate and that KG isnt a top 5 player

[ZapBulletRider]

anybody that enjoys watching Tim Duncan play basketball is one step above an amoeba in my book.

[junwin]

never said i enjoy it, i fucking hate the spurs. hes just damn fucking good at it.......and id be stoked if i could do shit that effortlessly on the court

[ZapBulletRider]

ugh, I still don't consider him good. He's like that kid in middle school who couldn't hit a shot but would nail hookshots from 3-range.

[junwin]

come on, hes not like me

[ZapBulletRider]

Dan McCool, you know I'm talking about you...

[RavesIsBack]

Raves isnt a know-it-all, he just said Tim duncan doesnt dominate and that KG isnt a top 5 player
wtf are you talking about?

1. I believe tim duncan is the BEST player in the nba; I said Tim Duncan DOMINATES the game. Learn to read.

2. Tim Legler aka I get paid for my opinions, said KG is NOT top 5 and I agree

3. KG will be a fantasy stud, like always, does NOT make him a dominate NBA player

[junwin]

wtf are you talking about?

1. I believe tim duncan is the BEST player in the nba; I said Tim Duncan DOMINATES the game. Learn to read.

2. Tim Legler aka I get paid for my opinions, said KG is NOT top 10

3. KG will be a fantasy stud, like always, does NOT make him a dominate NBA player

1. im taking learning support, dont be so hard on me ok?
2. Tim Legler aka can suck my nuts, is a fuckign douche and i hate him (which makes me right)
3. damn right he's a stud

[RavesIsBack]

you quoted me before I fixed what Legler said, he said he is top 10, not top 5. I agree with that statement. KG is top 10, but top 5 no way. Hence overrated

[ZapBulletRider]

[RavesIsBack]

hey I hate his game, I hate watching his game, it makes me sad, fuck i hate him, and the virgin islands too (just wait til i go there, they will be renamed the loose islands, oh yeah I said it)

but having said that, the way he controls the game on offense and defense is absurd. the best PF in the game ever and is dominate on a different level.

you failed with that pic

[junwin]

Zaber you gotta admit, Timmy is BAAALLLIIINNNN

[ZapBulletRider]

I don't care. I enjoy basketball for speed, finesse, passion. Duncan has none of the first, very little of the second, and barely shows the third. That's why for better or for worse, Allen Iverson is by far my favorite player in the NBA.

[RavesIsBack]

I did not say he is my favorite player I cant fucking stand Tim Duncan

If I had to pick a favorite I would probably go with Arenas because that dude is fucking nuts and plays his best when pissed. I can appreciate that.

[junwin]

lol well i can see why you wouldnt like him. i enjoy basketball cos im a mad cunt.

[ZapBulletRider]

I did not say he is my favorite player I cant fucking stand Tim Duncan

If I had to pick a favorite I would probably go with Arenas because that dude is fucking nuts and plays his best when pissed. I can appreciate that.

yeah I respect the hell out of Arenas. He's prob. one of my top 5, and at times he's #2. Like when he was scoring 50 and shit this season. Did you ever see the youtube vid where he beat DeShawn Stevenson in a 3pt shootout using only one hand? Youtube it up.

[RavesIsBack]

yea i have seen it, ridiculous that he hits like 90% and still loses to Arenas

[junwin]

lol it was kinda cheap how gil was talking so much shit though, DeShawn said nothing the whole time

[ZapBulletRider]

I know, I think that makes it even funnier and makes me like Arenas even more

[junwin]

hahaha. i think its pretty crazy hes shooting over 80% this summer, aiming for 100,000 made shots

[skimsurfallday]

iverson is probably my least favorite and has been. all he does is play for money so he can buy drugs, hes a good player but his best years a by far behind him. and im a sixers fan and hes going way downhill. and the sixers have been playing better then they were last year with iverson, in the long run the nuggets are gonna have one or two good years and then get fucked over with how much money he makes and how good he will be. the sixers in a couple years are gonna make a strong comeback. you cant hate the spurs, they play the game how its supposed to be played, DeFeNse, watch any team in the nba other the pheonix and san antonio and they play no defense thats why those two teams are so good every year, i prefer college because they play for the game not for money and they play it right. tony parker has to be the best most underrated player in the nbA by far. hes my favorite player and i bet your eyes are bleeding now.


THATS THE END OF MY NOVEL.

[RavesIsBack]

phoenix? defense? try again

oh you mean other THAN phoenix, ya you kinda need that word in there

and college teams dont play defense as good as the nba teams so i dont understand your point; well actually i do understand your point you just suck at making it. your point is they play the game the way it is supposed to be played, which is not for money. but this ruins your defense being the way it is supposed to be played theory

[junwin]

skimsurfallday........youre pretty much retarded

"all he does is play for money so he can buy drugs"

pretty much sums up how dumb you are

and yeh, phoenix are KNOWN for playing All offense, no D...you couldnt be more Wrong

[ZapBulletRider]

iverson is probably my least favorite and has been. all he does is play for money so he can buy drugs, hes a good player but his best years a by far behind him. and im a sixers fan and hes going way downhill. and the sixers have been playing better then they were last year with iverson, in the long run the nuggets are gonna have one or two good years and then get fucked over with how much money he makes and how good he will be. the sixers in a couple years are gonna make a strong comeback. you cant hate the spurs, they play the game how its supposed to be played, DeFeNse, watch any team in the nba other the pheonix and san antonio and they play no defense thats why those two teams are so good every year, i prefer college because they play for the game not for money and they play it right. tony parker has to be the best most underrated player in the nbA by far. hes my favorite player and i bet your eyes are bleeding now.


THATS THE END OF MY NOVEL.

not even worth a real response. This is why Iverson doomed himself early on in his career, because most people have their head too far up their ass to ever get over the past. I live in the area he grew up and a lot of the people around here still think he's the same troublemaker he was in high school. You obviously know nothing about basketball because last year he was playing his best basketball EVER, and no I'm not exaggerating.

RED SOX WIN THE RED SOX WIN!

"Winning is winning," said Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia. "It doesn't matter how you do it."

For sure, this wasn't one of the more artistic wins of the season by the Red Sox. But once the calendar turns to August, style points no longer count for much. The 65-42 Sox, in snapping a two-game losing streak, maintained their seven-game lead over the Yankees in the American League East.
