By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Without KG their interior defence should be vulnerable and we need to rebound hard. If we can't beat a front court with Scalabrine and Perkins at the 4 and 5 there is something wrong. I don't think Boston has enough points in them to outgun the Suns.

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Lakers Center Andrew Bynum has pronounced himself 100% healthy and ready for training camp. Bynum never got to play with Pau Gasol on the team and most Laker fans feel that the addition of a healthy Bynum will put them over the top. I am not sure that will make the difference as when the Celtics played them twice during the season, Perk had little trouble containing Bynum and had a couple of his best games going up against him. In the Athlon preview, they favor the Hornets to win the West and so they obviously feel that the addition of James Posey to the Hornets is more signifcant than the addition of Bynum to the Lakers.

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Mitch Kupchak went to Atlanta to check on his young center, Andrew Bynum. Bynum is running on the track, hitting the weights, and doing basketball drills, and he shows no signs of any lingering problems from his knee surgery. The Lakers expect him to be 100% by the opening of training camp in the end of September. Kupchak’s concern regarding Bynum’s health extends further than having him help the Lakers this season. It’s also a financial concern. The Lakers recently exercised a fourth-year contract option on Bynum, but his agent is seeking a maximum five-year, $80 million extension. Kupchak wants to wait and see how his young center plays after returning from the injury before committing that kind of money to him. Hearing that Bynum is looking...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) The Los Angeles Lakers have signed their second round draft pick, guard Joe Crawford. He was selected by the Lakers with the 58th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft after playing 4 seasons at the University of Kentucky. He averaged 11.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 127 games for the Wildcats. Crawford started all 6 games for the Lakers Summer League team in Las Vegas this summer and averaged 11.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 32.7 minutes. This gives the Lakers 16 players under contract. They plan to go into training camp with 18 and will be looking to bring in a couple more players on minimum contracts.

The player Jackson called the greatest that he has coached is that none other than Detroit Bad Boy, Dennis Rodman. That one leaves you scratching your head. That kind of analysis proves that all those championships he won wasn't because of his intelligence and coaching.

However, the Sporting News reports that Finley turned down the offers from Europe and is looking to stay in the NBA. His first choice would be to stay with the Spurs and they are reported to have interest in keeping him. They also mention that Finley is looking at Lakers, Mavericks and Celtics.

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) The Lakers have decided to let Ronny Turiaf go to the Warriors when they didn't match the offer made by Golden State. It is believed by many that the Warriors are over-paying for Turiaf just as many believe that the Hornets over paid for James Posey. The Lakers' off season approach is completely different from the Celtics' approach. The Celtics had 6 free agents and will more then likely let the majority of them go. They will have 2 rookies coming in and would not go the 4th year to retain Posey who was a crucial part of last season's team. The Lakers on the other hand are trying to keep their team from last year together as much as possible. There is much to be said for building chemistry and keeping a team together. It is a pretty risky move by Danny to think...   [read the full post]

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Today is the deadline for the Lakers to let Turiaf and the Warriors know of their decision about the restricted free agent. Signs point to the Lakers letting Turiaf go. The Warriors have front loaded his contract and the Lakers currently have 10 players signed to guaranteed contracts for a total of $75.135 million and aren't likely to pay another 4.5 million to bring back a role player off the bench. Along with Tyronn Lue, the Bucks also signed 30 year old veteran, Malik Allen to a contract on Thursday.

Let's hope Big Baby works on diet and conditioning this summer. It has to be pretty surreal for Big Baby and Gabe Pruitt to have won a ring as rookies considering there are quite a few Hall of Famers who never won a ring. Ray Allen is one of the classiest guys in the NBA. He is just special. He played Sunday with his son in the hospital and that took a lot of focus on his part. He played more minutes than anyone else in the finals and he could very easily been picked a co-MVP with Pierce. He came up big when it counted.

Then finally, I thought I am thinking way too much into this and lets just find out what the heck its all about. On his blog Rajon writes, "Yo...I started drinking this new healthy drink called Purple - The bottle says it's the most powerful antioxidant beverage on the planet.

By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) Finally, there was the officiating in game 2. Phil and Kobe just couldn't stop whining about it during their press conference. If anyone could complain about the refs, it should be the Celtics. In their first two series, they shot 295 free throws compared to 416 for their opponents. At the same time, the Celtics was the more aggressive team, scoring more points in the paint than their opponents. Game 6 in Detroit was horribly officiated. That offensive call on Pierce was probably the worst call I have ever seen. But, the Celtics didn't complain about the disparity. They simply played harder and overcame the one sided calls.
