Quoteif you see the replay again, watch as sammy's man sets a screen on thad. sammy was supposed to switch out on allen.
he didn't.

of course they are supposed to switch, thats fundamental basketball--especially with time winding down to zero in a close game

but its a cover up by the coaches hunt...there was no screen before or after the pass by Allen, it was simple one one one until Thad drifted, the pick came.... then it became "we were supposed to shift on all screens...."

he said "oh shtein" when he realized that mush brain dalembert didn't switch out on allen like he was supposed to.

what youre saying makes absolutely no sense because there was no screen to switch on...thad left allen on his own...he didnt jump around a screen and run after pierce he just did it for no reason...and even if you were right and there was a screen then it would have been iguodala that should have switched on allen because thad went after pierce which was andres man

by your logic thad should have been on big baby or whoever that was i cant recall that dalembert was watching

the play had way broken down before thad got clipped...at that point it was complete scramble mode because thad shtein the bed going to pierce in the first place

doesn't really matter to me. i farging hate the celtics...maybe more than i hate the cowboys...so i'm just pissed they lost.

i found it odd that both thad & dileo mentioned in their post game interviews that they were supposed to switch on all screens on that last play. it was almost like they were blaming sammy w/o mentioning him by name.
i'm sure there's plenty of blame to go around though.

ice grillin you · February 04, 2009, 10:32:12 AM

i have no doubt they were supposed to switch on screens...but a missed switch had nothing to do with what happened on the last play

there was a screen. big baby set a flare screen on thad...that's when allen ran to the corner & was left wide open because sammy didn't switch out on him. thad did wander over to help on pierce before he was picked & that made the pick even more effective. sammy was still supposed to switch though.
doesn't matter. we're arguing over who farged up worse.

You know what really pisses me off? Celtics fans. There were far too many of them in the arena last night. And to make matters worse, they were going NUTS after Allens shot as if they were diehards.

Where were they 3 years ago? I've probably seen the Celts live 15 times in the past 5 years or so, and their fan base continues to expand no matter where I watch them. There were none a few years back. NONE.

G'Damn, I hate frontrunners.

I wanted to punch the girl jumping up and down behind the net

hunt · February 04, 2009, 10:41:13 AM

i farging despise all boston fans. those red sox fans didn't give a shtein about the patriots or celts (since bird retired) until they starting winning.
farg them in their iceholes.

ice grillin you · February 04, 2009, 10:41:26 AM

allen was already in the corner as thad was getting clipped...youre acting like it was a set play by the celtics where allen had the ball at the top of the key and big baby was set in front of him...thad ran away from allen allen ran to the corner as he should to get an opemn shot and then as thad was running back to allen big baby was oh well i might as well try and get out there to clip him (which as i said was an illegal screen in the first place....thats how late it was)

it was an after the fact screen and to suggest that sammy should have known thad was going to inexplicably leave his man and then get screend trying to get back to his man on a broken down play is just nuts...could theoretically sammy had made a run to the corner i suppose but to even put 1% of the blame on him on that last play is a huge reach

it was a set play. doc rivers talked about it after the game. rivers said he was going to change the play but rondo & allen talked him out of it because they thought it would work.
they were right.

reese125 · February 04, 2009, 10:48:36 AM

hunt please stop

they thought it would work because they could easily bait dumbass Thad to drift over and "think" double team leaving Allen..they were right

ice grillin you · February 04, 2009, 10:49:42 AM

if you told hunt sammy was the 911 mastermind hed believe it...or at least want to

reese125 · February 04, 2009, 10:51:48 AM

Sammy needs to be flown into an Afghanistan mountain

hunt · February 04, 2009, 10:53:56 AM

yeah...your opinions definitely hold more water than what the coaches themselves said.

man, i can't believe how little you people know about basketball.

the fact that you believe everything the coaches say to the media after a loss is even cooler

put your Keds on and run me with downtown hunt if you got game..ha
