Anything to the rumor that the reanimated remains of Michael Finley might sign with Boston?
-BJ

As a Celtic-hater, news like this makes me chuckle.

"Veteran swingman Michael Finley confirmed to ESPN.com on Thursday that he has reached an agreement to join the Boston Celtics.


"It's official now," Finley told ESPN.com after verbally committing to Boston. "I'm soon to be a Celtic."

Finley, who turns 37 Saturday, requested and received a buyout from the San Antonio Spurs earlier this week, freeing him to sign with a title contender while maintaining his playoff eligibility."

Pretty bawful.

"Few NBA players have as many consistently awesome facial expressions as Yi"

Probably, but Tim Duncan is not far behind.

That Yi Jianlian picture is full of win

Is it just me or does anyone else think it looks like Dwight is about to do the Harlem Shake in that pic?

Ash B -- Fuck.

Brian -- Indeed, Duncan is definately one of the top 5 awesome facial expression guys in the NBA. There's a reason he has his own Word of the Day entry.

Phoenix shoots 56% and loses by 8.

Not exactly a stellar showing in their own paint.

Oh yeah.

Charles Barkley in the post-game TNT discussion on what games the Nyets can win, after the suggestion that the Nyets can beat the paupers at Brendan Byrne:

"You're going against my man Paul Westphal!"

Charles's gonna have to share with Spencer Hawes!!!!!!

At least offensively I see no diference from resting or not resting. Are back to backs really that difficult?

yeah,Randolph holds the new record for doubledobules/season with 43 for memphis. where art thou,Pau?always thought he was kind of a good rebounder for his whiteguy squishiness

The thing that tends to suffer most is team play down the stretch. It won't be obvious from most basic stats. But take the Suns last night. They were on fire for three quarters and then fell apart in the fourth.

That was just the Suns classically sucking.
