Ruben Patterson want to be a Celtic

[rockinrondo]

I am all for Stockton and Mutumbo. But Please, No Ruben Patterson.

Considering our history of players dieing, or being stabbed in the face, or getting caught with guns I'd really like to make it through the next two seasons with zero arrests. I also don't want any bizzare incidents that don't lead to charges.

[rockinrondo]

Amen, eja.

[The Eye of the Q is upon you!]

Let's see Ron Artest or Ruben Patterson - who would you want on your team? Both are proven troublemakers. I would stay away from them and so would Wyckie.

I don't know for sure, but I think that Gary Payton sign for one more year with Miami, I don't
think he is a free agent. If he is he can help us verry much too. The Glove is my favourite
player in these league for all-times, when I was little what about like 4-5 years old and I was watching games on TV, I just call him "Hey dad there's the uncle with gum". I'm tell
with a hand on my heart that I watch and love this game because of Gary Payton. The one
of the top 5 PG forever in the entire history of the league, the one of the top 10 deffence
players of the league, man I cry so much in my life two times in my life since I was baby
the first time is when 2 Pac was killed, and the second time was when Gary Payton get
his own and very very deserve bling bling (championship ring with Miami). When that one
happen, my very first reaction was "Oh thank you God, that gave me the opportunity to live
long enaugh to see him with a title". Nothing I repeat nothing can't make me happy to see
that guy a champion with the Celtics. I want to excuse to everybody that I become emotional
and give way to my feelings. I'm sorry but I love Payton as much as my mother. And once
again I will say "Gary Payton For President"

[eja117]

Actually we kinda like emotion here. I thought i read today that Miami has no interest in Payton. I was hoping to live long enough to see Stockton and Malone win one.

[birdie]

oh I forgot what about Sam Cassell is he on the market yet, I'm sure that he want to play
with KG again, everybody knows that, the reason that they broke the Minny trio was Latrell
Sprewell, but now Spree is gone and KG is with Pierce and Allen, I don't know, but for me
it's worth to try this

[clem]

Find a way to bring in Patterson,Brian Skinner and Boykins.They all played together last season that would give them a leg up o n most teams benches.

[birdie]

Boykins shoot too much, there is no empty spot for this midget in our roster, Skinner is a
Bust bandwagon, but Patterson is something different, this guy can bring deffence with
him (something that we need very much). One thing I don't understand why the hell Danny
Ainge signed with Scott Pollard? Damn..... this guy can't do anything unless step to the
floor to make 6 fauls, and then get the f*** out of there pretty quick, he dosn't worht not a
million but 10 bugs. Kandiman can do very good work, and way better that Pollard, but
Danny the dummy don't sign him yet. He is not injured this season and can do big things
on the floor this year, he can be Perk's backup for at least 20-25 min. per game if he needs
to play that long time I'm sure he will be able to do it. I really don't know why Danny waiting

[rockinrondo]

I would rather have Pollard's hustle and basketball IQ, over the lazy, "I don't have a clue" Kandiman any day. Pollard will be a very nice vet., who will give 110% every time he takes the floor, and he will learn the offensive and defensive schemes the team wants to run, unlike Kandi. Like I've said before, KG will play some at the 5, against alot of teams, when Scal, Powe, Posey, or Davis are at the 4.

This bench, when you consider the starting five, is going to be at least solid, if not damn good. I see the starting five all playing 35+ min. a game, with the possible exception of Perk, who might be closer to 25 - 28 min. a game, because, along with Pollard, KG will see some min. at the 5, and all five will get closer to 38 - 40 min. a game, in the playoff's. That leaves 13 - 15 min. (20 at most) a game for the reserves. I feel confident that House, T. Allen, Posey, Scal's, Powe, Pollard, Pruitt, and Davis who might be the sleeper of the 2007 draft, will be more than capable of that. I mean, unlike alot, or most teams in the league, the C's will not need 20+ pts. a game from a 6th man, who is playing 35 min. a game. What they need, is 5 or 6 solid vet's, with good basketball IQ, and playoff experence who are great TEAM MATES to come in for 12 - 15 min. a game, and play solid D, rebound, and basically just hold down the fort, while the starters get a break. I think we will get some consistant Offence from T. Allen and House, and that would be iceing, on the Celtic's three tier cake. I think Danny has targeted "good teammates", with playoff experience, like, Pollard, House, Posey, to fill out the bench. If you think about it, that is the same recipe that the Spur's, Heat, and the Lakers have used in recent years, and I think all of Celtic Nation would take the same results those teams had.

I would take Kandi as a third team center, just to come in, armed with his 6 fouls, against Shaq and some of the bigger five's in the league. This guy (Kandi) may be the biggest #1 pick bust, in the history of the the NBA draft.

[DERRENMATTS]

Right, if Kandi remains, he should only be here as an insurance for Pollard. I am satisfied with our bench.
