Ok, two major blunders in the game...and they were not by the players;
I do not know the name of the play by play guy in ABC, but he mentioned "Touchdown Celtics!" and also the fact that they were playing at Staples Center.
Did anyone else catch this?
ABC couldn't have asked for a better game script for the night they were running the halftime piece on Powe.Plus one of my coworkers is Leon Powe's brother and a really great guy, and it's nice to see his brother have a great game. The halftime piece was nice, too.
Well since the Celts won, there's no way anyone could say "choke", had they lost the game...that would be the word of the day.And I sincerely hope no one wants to use the term 'choked' with regards to the Celtics in Game 2.
Mark Jackson also said that Kobe was better than Jordan. I like Jackson a lot, but, yeah, these comments are a tad over the top.
And I must take Van Gundy's side in the Kevin McHale aspect of the discussion of best Celtic offensive players ever...Jackson was dismissing McHale like he was just an average player or something, Van Gundy certainly knew that McHale was pretty unstoppable in the post.
If they want to do comparison's of this year's Celts to yesteryear, a better comparison than Pierce to Bird would be Cassell to McHale, cause Danny Ainge once famously nicknamed McHale a "black hole", cause "once the ball goes into him, its not coming back out"...Cassell has very similar hun qualities. Difference is McHale twice shot over 60% FG for a season, and 55% for his career...SamIam...not so much.
2 to go.
He used to call it the "torture chamber" when he got the ball down low and he knew the guy guarding him was toast (which was almost anybody trying to guard him one on one), Herman Munster with low post moves...he really was a joy to watch.mchale was a joy to watch... even though i mostly just saw the tail end and highlights. the up and under was a thing of beauty.
I hated McHale more than any other Celtic, but, yes, he was fun to watch operate down low. I think he and Hakeem are the two best big men I've seen with the ball in the paint.
But he looks like such a hard worker...
