The Celtics left the map when Bird retired, and haven't been seen since. Celtic_Embryo wrote: "and dont try to make a case for Hakeem Olajuwon, he isnt even in the top twenty" Um...how many Celtic players have been NBA MVP, Finals MVP, and defensive player of the year all in the same season? Our '94 Rockets who were a little more than Dream and 4 other guys could STILL waste your 80s Celtics with Bird, McHale, Parish, et al. And by the way, what was the Celtics' record in the Jordanless NBA, and why couldn't the Celtics win the NBA title while Jordan was retired? It was unfortunate that we didn't go farther in the playoffs in 96, 'cause our record against the Jordan-led Bulls was pretty impressive. So in conclusion, when we're watching our teams gain playoff experience next year, and your team's again counting ping pong balls and searching for yet another coach, feel free to post your opinions on how great your Celtics franchise is. P.S. What do you think of the New England Patriot's chances next year? Superbowl bound? ------------------ Founding Father of the Refs Suck Club
I was thinking that this bozo doesnt deserve a response...but I've been looking for something to beat on all morning and then found Celtic_Embryo's message (by the way, "embryo" would be too advanced a term for the celtics' development) so here we go... 1) I cant believe someone from Boston would make fun of another city's baseball team. 2) I cant believe anyone from massachussetts would make fun of anyone's football team. I always enjoy the Patriots in the Super Bowl. now that that's out of the way..let's talk basketball...for someone who is so concerned about basketball history, your points are deluted by a complete lack of understanding the past: "one of the times you didnt deserve to be there,only squeaking in on a lucky shot by ralph sampson" Squeek in? The Rockets didnt even need to go 7 games to "squeek in"... "In 94, Micheal Jordan, the greatest player in the history of the game, (and dont try to make a case for Hakeem Olajuwon, he isnt even in the top twenty) retired, thus providing of the most boring watered down, talent wise, seasons in the NBA." This is such a crock...So there was only one guy with any significant amount of talent in the NBA at that time? How do you explain that? According to you, the decades before and during Michael Jordan were full of talent...then suddenly, when Jordan leaves, the talent is completely drained from the league...What caused such an odd talent failure? Was there some radiation leak all over the country which affected everyone's basketball skills? Two years without any significant talent...amazing! Come on, embryo! Have your brain cells not formed yet? The Rockets and Bulls never met in the finals...so we dont know who would have one that series...You obviously believe the Bulls would have...still, you are basing your statements on nothing more than assumptions...certainly no way to judge history... I could go on...but I feel better and no longer want to waste my time with this... ------------------ "I didn't like jr. high when I was there. Why would I want to watch it on tv?" P.

Hey follow cc.net(ers), Ignore this person otherwise, you are doing exactly what he/she (probably literally) wants! No one and and mean no one with 1/4 of intelligence would say Houston sucks. I have lived in a few states west of the Mississippi and do a great deal of traveling because of my profession and I can honestly say that HOUSTON ROCKS!!!!!! What's the old saying...."I wasn't born in Houston (ok, maybe they say Texas), but I got here as soon as I could." One more thing. Let's look at this person's username....."Celtic Embryo". The American Heritage Dictionary defines Celtic as the SUBfamily of the Indo-European. Embryo is defined as an organism in its earliest stages of development or hatching....rudimentary stage. Now let's put it all together...... A RUDIMENTARY, SUB INDO-EUROPEAN ORGANISM IN IT'S EARLIEST STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT!

Hey guys come on, the guy is an idiot. But ease up on the Sox!!! ------------------ The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
