@ LINEUPS ROCKETS: PG: Rafer Alston #12 SG: Tracy McGrady #1 SF: Ron Artest #96 PF: Luis Scola #4 C: Yao Ming #11 CELTICS: PG: Rajon Rondo #9 SG: Ray Allen #20 SF: Paul Pierce #34 PF: Kevin Garnett #5 C: Kendrick Perkins #43 That's assuming no one is rested. I hope no one is rested, because I'll be at the game and I want to see at least a little bit of the all-stars on both sides.
Bill Walker wanted to go at it with TMac earlier in the first quarter. lol I gotta give it to Walker, he doesn't take shit from other player, nice to have a tough guy like him on the team. (together with KG) Rockets 28-26 Celtics 2nd quarter with 8 minutes to go
Rockets 60-56 Celtics Houston has gotten so many damn calls, it's not even funny. The Celtics announcers are calling for the firing of the young referee. lol
Very intense game, a lot of fun. There was some kid wearing a Rockets jersey, Lucky went and sprayed him with that stringy stuff. Then chased him around because the kid started running. And there was a couple of dumb shits behind who were drunk as hell (they too wanted that young ref fired, and didn't stop there), they made some nice comments throughout the game.
Tmac acted like a punk pushing the kid down. Then he tried to start shit with House who is much smaller than him. The Celtic announcer said it the best "PICK THE BIGGER GUY TMAC, PICK THE BIGGER GUY TO FIGHT" lol
Because T-Mac whacked him with a clearly intentional flagrant foul? I would have been a little pissed off if I was Walker. And don't even get me started on Artest. I was surprised he never tried pantsing Bill at some point.
Walker gave him a wack on the same play that went unnoticed. And in a previous play, he he pushed him as well. At the end of that possession, when called for a loose ball foul, he angrily slapped the ball away. Later in the game, he shoves Yao Ming (Yao Ming of all people) in the chest, because he didn't like running into his screen. The kid is quite unhinged. Maybe that's how Doc Rivers wants him to play -- like a goon.
So he does the same things as Artest? Saw that, that was out of line. Unhinged? I'll give you unhinged... he wears #96 for the Rockets. Bill Walker's an intense, tough player who isn't some rookie pussbag who will bow down to people like McGrady taking swipes at him.
You know, I'd be lying if I said Artest was not a dirty player. And I've never been a fan of that style of play. But I do think Artest has matured some. He doesn't lose his temper on the court like he used to. Maybe Walker is battling with some of the same mental issues. What I'm reading in the Boston press and from his teammates is that he's being encouraged to act that way. I don't think that's going to help him.
He's being encouraged to act like that because players, let alone rookies, that will stand up to anyone on the opposing team are hard to find nowadays. Again, it might hurt him a little this year as far as officiating goes, but once he establishes himself he'll be fine.
that's cause the punk kid gave him a shot to begin with.....and house was yapping at tmac, and then quickly backed away when tmac acted like he was gonna lunge at him......................House should be happy he was given a ring last season for playing an entire 2 minutes in the post season............
bill walker will be in the d-league...........maybe he'll win in a fight against his level of competition......
Bil Walker did look like punk last night, can't lie. T-Mac should be above retaliating the way he did, though. He's a perennial All-Star and he's wasting time with a second round rookie.
T-Mac must be swole as hell if he could push a 220 lb Bill Walker with ONE ARM. You can tell he sorta flopped, it wasn't that hard of a bump. And also I don't think you noticed, but Walker gave Tmac a little push first. House on the other side, kept talking and therefore T-Mac started with him. Bill Walker sucks, he needs to go to the D-League and fight over there. Clearly, Walker was looking for a fight.
lmao Mr. "Tommy Points" is biased as hell....I've watched you guys local broadcasts on NBA TV and the guy is the homer of all homers lol Eddie House is a punk bitch..........you're man enough to put your hands in a man's face, but when he comes at you, you run like a little hoe.........................I can't wait for November 4th....................
Bill Walker will be in the D-League? Maybe you missed the fact that he's done very well so far this preseason.
Tell me who looks like a 'little hoe' in the 2nd pic there. T-Mac looks like an infant who got his toys taken away. Who cares if Heinsohn is a homer?? This is a Boston Celtics network, watched by Boston Celtics fans, and Heinsohn is a former Celtic himself and has a boatload of rings. Who should the network have hired, Dolph Schayes??
