I think Boston only plays them once a year.
I know, but I'm happy for Portland. Any sports city that hangs their hat on one or two teams, it's makes me happy for their fans.

Do you agree with my theory that the Pistons are the Atlanta Braves of baseball?
I don't get this.
A first-team All-American goes behind a bunch of foreign stiffs?
Compared to three of these foreigners, you me, and Sandra would look like Garnett, Pierce, and Allen as opposed to these three stiffs.
Here's the skinny on Celtics draft pick JR Giddens:
Strengths: JR is a freakish athlete that shoots the 3 well. He plays with a lot of heart and enthusiasm. He is a good rebounder and has shown a propensity for getting offensive rebounds and quick putbacks under the basket. Is listed at 6'5 but plays bigger because of his long arms and excellent jumping ability. He's a pretty good defender. JR gets excellent lift on his jump shot making it very difficult to block.
Weaknesses: Has not yet shown the ability to drive to the basket. But this is probably due to the fact that he is either dunking in alley-oops or shooting three's for the Jayhawks. His mid-range game must be an area of focus. Not a selfish player, but also is not a natural distributor of the basketball.
Notes: Has won a couple different dunk contests already. JR was a Mcdonalds All-American and probably would have won that dunk contest had it not been for some guy named LeBron... Won co-MVP honors (Along with Team USA player Deron Williams) at the 2003 Global Games, he also won that tournaments dunk contest. JR was an excellent track athlete in high school and cleared 6 feet 10 inches in a high jump competition. Was the first runner-up for the Mr. Basketball title as a senior in high school but the award was actually won by current KU teammate Jeremy Case.
Little off-topic, but remember when HD MM said he was at an Indians game?
Well, Cliff Lee's pitching a gem with 11 K's and the Tribe are up 4-1.
At least he'll be in a good mood when we tell him about the draft.
Translation: If Ray Allen dunked more, he'd be this guy.
Really??? Earlier tonight on ESPN's bottomline scroll it said the Indians game was postponed. It obviously was a misprint.
Okay, the Nets get CDR and they already got Brook Lopez. IMO, either the Nets or the Blazers are the big winners tonight.
I think our work is finished, Bill.
All the players I know are drafted.
Now, let's focus on winners and losers.
You said the Nets and Blazers were the winners. Who's your biggest draft loser?
I say the biggest losers are the Sonics and the Knicks.
The Sonics picked the wrong UCLA player- they needed a big man.
As for the Knicks... I've already said it- I know Sandra's bitter about it- they drafted a big stiff from overseas.
