…on March 5th.
Mike:

Geez.  The eastern conference is an absolute joke.
John:

Way to kill my excitement.

From NBA Power Rankings:
#1 (39-9) Boston’s not some Eastern Conference bully inflating its record against easy competition. The C’s are 16-0 against the West.
John:

Damn straight!
Did you watch them beat the Spurs without KG the other night?
Mike:

No.
Don’t make me regret sending you anything regarding the Celtics.
John:

Do you not remember how this goes?
Mike:

Oh yeah - you are […]

“Earlier in the day, guard Sam Cassell said he was hoping to be bought out of his contract with the Clippers, which would allow him to sign with Boston. The 38-year-old added that he would have no problems playing behind Rondo.”
Wouldn’t that be Gary Payton all over again?
Mike:

This shit is already out of control. […]

As I am sure you have heard, the Lakers just picked up Pao Gasol and a future 2nd round pick for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, two future 1st rounders, Aaron Mckie, and the rights to Marc Gasol (Pao’s little bro). I don’t see any team in the West competing with that. The Lakers […]

John:

So the Celtics aren’t going undefeated, but do they really need to go 80-2?  I’m a little worried about the all-out effort every single night.  I’m especially worried about the minutes some of the starters are playing.  If they’re up 15-20 points in the 4th, TAKE THEM OUT.  They don’t need to win by 20 […]

That title was too obvious.  You know I am talking about Shaq…
That is the Shaq that the Lakers dealt with day in and day out until playoff time.  It still surprises and bothers me that Shaq succumbed to Wade, but never Kobe.

John:

It’s so true.
Mike:

I hate this…
“You know, there are infants who were born 18 days ago who don’t know what it’s like to see a Boston team win a championship in their lifetime.”
“…fans throughout the city were cheering on their beloved Patriots, hoping their support could somehow rally a put-upon team that hadn’t won in two […]

John:

“The Celtics are on page to surpass the Bulls’ 72 wins…”
Really?  Not losing means they’re on pace to surpass a team that lost?  Really?  And being undefeated after 7 games means they’re going to go undefeated for 75 more games?  After 7 games someone on ESPN is comparing them to one of the greatest teams […]

Can’t make this stuff up
Rob said:
Aren’t all Laker games Brokeback Mountain games???
Mike:

If that was true then you’d be a Laker fan.
Rob said:
I thought that was why you were such a HUGE Laker fan.
Mike:

Again, more evidence - if that was true then you’d be a Laker fan.
Mike:

Phil gets off an even better line in his apology…

Mike:

I feel sick…
From Dime Power Rankings:  Kevin Garnett is your early MVP front-runner; he’s leading Boston in rebounds, assists and steals (on pace for career-highs in each category), not to mention blocks, and is also up there for Defensive Player of the Year.
John:

Yup.  The guy is a monster.  A 7-0 start is nice, but they’re […]
