Rob Gronkowski Is Kind Of An Asshole



I know this is a little old, but I have a lot of stuff go on from then and now to write this post like trying to get killed by a Vermont Drug Dealer and get the worst food poisoning of all time. Anyways, I went to the Celtics/ Lakers last week and obviously it was a devastating loss. And Rob Gronkowski, Vince Wilfork and other Patriots were at the game. Every time they were put on the big screen people were chanting and were cheering, etc. When the game was over, Gronkowski was openly celebrating and then was taking pictures with Kobe and so on an so forth. This really rubbed me the wrong way, you have all these people who are at the Celtics game against a rival and cheer for you after the devastating Superbowl loss, and then you celebrate with the Lakers and Kobe Bryant? Fucking dumb. I am completely with Rodney Harrison and others when it comes to him jumping on around the ankle that pretty much cost them a Superbowl after the game (also, I am equally disappointed at Matt Light too).

I don't know what his deal is or if he's just really dumb, but he needs to cool it. In my eyes as a football fan, I was disgusted with seeing him after the Superbowl and in person, I thought he was an asshole. And before everyone jumps down my throat for me being a Steeler fan, I have talked to a couple of die hard Patriot fans that feel the same way.

Lakers 88 Celtics 87 (OT)


Pretty crazy that this game went to OT, and yet neither team was able to break 90 points, but that's what happens when you have two of the best defensive teams in the league playing each other.

We can go over the last second shot by Pierce, or how Gasol blocked the Allen shot right after, but the story of this game was rebounding. Gasol and Bynum combined for 31 rebounds, that is almost as much as the entire Celtics starting 5.

Another story of the game is the back the Celtics only went to the line 5 times during the game, while the Lakers went 20 times. I would usually go crazy about refs, but I felt like the Celtics weren't getting to the basket. There was absolutely some missed calls, but for a guy like Rondo to be lined up against Fisher and only have a stat line of 14 points, 7 assists and 2 rebs just isn't good enough.

What also didn't help is KG going 6-23, but I am not going to get on him too hard, because I like when he is taking shots. I feel a lot of times he goes away from that and with this Celtics team and their struggles on offense they need him to be a weapon night in and night out.

I know the Celtics haven't beaten a "great team" yet, but this is a really tough matchup for them. There are not a lot of teams that have big guys like Gasol and Bynum, and to see the Celtics really have a chance to win this game actually gave me hope for the rest of the season. Peirce/KG won't shoot that bad again, so I think they could take this team.

Celtics get back at it tonight against the Raptors.

During the Celtics hot streak where they have won 9 of 10 people have been poo pooing it due to lack of competition (even though they have beaten Orlando twice, Pacers and Grizzlies), so tonight will be a big game in the eyes of the media (even though the Lakers have struggled too) to give the Celtics credit. I'll be at the game court side, so I really hope I get to watch Kobe lose.

The Celtics bigmen will be pushed today. Jermaine O'Neal will probably get a technical and most likely will get into a pushing match with Andrew Bynum. But I like the way Jermaine has been playing defense and rebounding recently, so I think he and Chris Wilcox will be holding their own. KG does a good job against Gasol and like when we play them in the finals, if KG can push him around he will wilt.

Then there is the Kobe/ Pierce match up which is always fun. Both are elite scorers, but Kobe has been struggling shooting and regressing into shoot the Lakers out of the game recently. Now that Pierce has Birds record, he will be relaxed and play a better game.

Rondo should push it against Fisher every time he has the ball, this is the only match up where we have a HUGE advantage. If Rondo can not only create, but attack the basket I like the green.

Celtics: 95-89
Tommy Award: Paul Pierce

Look for me, I'll be the one jumping on the court and hugging KG at the end of the game.

Also, want to see a weird picture? Here is Kobe pre draft working out for the Celtics:

Quick Someone Send KG To Germany


After watching Kobe Bryant suddenly look like he is 25 years old again, and scoring 40 points seemingly every night, it got be thinking about that experimental knee thing he had done over in Germany. It seems like it has really worked, because for most of last year Kobe looked hobbled, but now he looks like he is back in his prime.

For those that don't know this procedure here is what I found...

"A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient's arm and spun in a centrifuge for about 20 minutes to isolate platelets. With guidance from ultrasound, the platelets are then injected into the injured area to try to stimulate tissue repair."

The whole thing takes about a half hour, and now Kobe's knee seems to be as close to 100% as we have seen it. Makes me think that more guys should be doing this. There are rumors A-Rod had headed out there to try to find the fountain of youth, and I think more should follow. This is awesome if they can add years to great players career, because it's always a shame to see someone go down because their knee can't keep up. Imagine if Neely could've played longer, how about Bobby Orr?

Anyways, someone get KG on a plane.

Kobe Bryant's Wife Is Sick Of His Anal Sex Cheating Ways



Vanessa Bryant is divorcing Kobe Bryant and sites irreconcilable differences. Vanessa Bryant caught Kobe with "multiple women" over the years, but his most recent transgression, which took place "very recently," was it for her.

I have grown to not hate Kobe as much since the Lakers beat the Celtics in the championship. I mean I still hate him, but I respect his game. But I absolutely love the Lakers offseason, 1st they offend everyone on their team with the trade that didn't go through, 2nd they trade Lamar Odom for nothing, 3rd. Kobe is pissed and is eventually going to demand a trade, 4th. He didn't sign a prenup and hopefully be distracted by his gold digging skank wife. I read already that he already gave her the house and has moved into an apartment with his dog.

Apparently he was cheating on her with Jessica Burciaga:

Smoking

I don't blame him this is a severe upgrade over Vanessa


I hear that Vanessa is also a huge bitch.

Although I don't like cheating and I think it's awful, I have to chalk this up as a case of Hoes Be Trippin.

The Deal That Never Happened



In a deal that would have sent Paul to the Lakers, Pau Gasol to the Rockets and furnished New Orleans with three top-flight NBA players in Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and Lamar Odom as well as playoff-tested guard Goran Dragic and a 2012 first-round pick that Houston had acquired from the Knicks.

But then the league turned around and stopped the deal because the NBA owners didn't like that a team owned by the NBA is trading Paul to a big market team.

Many people thought that after this happened the Lakers were going to turn around an get Dwight Howard. So I'm kind of torn with all of this. On one hand I'm stoked the Lakers don't have Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, on the other I really like the fact the Hornets got 3 almost all stars in Odom, Scola and Martin (along with Dragic and a 1st pick). The owners and David Stern may have stepped over the line a little much.

With Dwight Howard most likely getting traded to the Nets today, I kind of hope the league puts it through. If they did after Howard left then the Lakers would be stuck with Bynum's gimpy knees and only one power forward in Derrick Caracter. Also, I I hate Chris Paul so him is Yellow and Purple would be fitting. They would be a worst team than they had before they got Paul. That would make me giggle. Also, if it doesn't go through, there is no way Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom are going to be happy to go back. So it looks like the Celtics aren't going to be the only team with an awkward 1st day of training camp.

Another factor could be that they didn't want to give the poor people in New Orleans another Kardashian. They have already gone through enough.
