The Celtics are just having too much fun this season! Look at ‘em! Pushin’ Rafer Alston over a bent Paul Pierce.
A perfect blend of LOLin’ and WINing.
Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days
We’ve yet to dispense any REAL excellent fantasy hoops advice for the stat heads and Holligner “PER” devotees out there, and perhaps that’s because we don’t want our GM secrets to get out. And so this gem is not going to be anything Earth shattering either, but here’s a can’t miss: waive Allen Iverson now! Or keep him at your peril and print up a snazzy: “Woe is Me, and A Disgruntled, Out of Work, Allen Iverson” tee. If you’re doing that deal, though, please put the tee up on Threadless, because I want one, but I don’t feel like designing it. Much like A.I., I’ve forfeited any semblance of effort towards a goal.

Six games into the adventure, and Allen Iverson has apparently had it with Memphis. The Answer has asked for a leave of absence from the Grizzlies.
According to the local paper, Iverson left to deal with a personal matter. He reportedly left this afternoon, missing tonight`s game against the Clippers.
The Commercial Appeal has the scant details:
The Allen Iverson saga has taken another turn as the veteran guard asked for and was granted permission to leave the Grizzlies to deal with a personal matter, according to an NBA source.
Iverson, 34, met with Griz owner Michael Heisley Friday night following the team’s 114-98 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The pair met again this morning, and Iverson was expected to depart for Atlanta this afternoon. Atlanta is where Iverson lives during the offseason.
According to Yahoo!, Iverson is headed to Atlanta to clear his head. More details are sure to emerge in the coming days. Iverson, who was injured at the start of the season, only suited up for three games in a Grizzlies uniform.
As an A.I. fan, it`s tremendously sad to watch his career fizzle out in such shameful fashion.
Austin Daye throws it down against Orlandito. It’s a rare dunk where it looks like a player’s entire body could fit through the cylinder.
Eduardo Najera had a heroic effort for the severely short-handed Nets, but in the end, New Jersey ran out of gas. Consolation for the Nets:
After the way he played tonight, DJ Banger deserves 13 tacos.
No Andrew Bynum. No Pau Gasol. No problem. DJ Mbenga had a career-high 13 rebounds to go with his 4 blocks, and the Lakers cruised to an easy win. The strong play of Mbenga and Josh Powell should reassure Laker fans as Bynum nurses yet another injury. As for us, anything that will justify re-posting the “Tacos” video is good news.
Come next season, will he become the second best player with the initials L.J. to ever play for the Knicks?

The Celtics even tried bringing Lucky the Leprechaun to guard Jason Richardson, but Richardson was unstoppable, scoring 34 points on just 16 shots (including six three-pointers) to give Boston its first loss of the season.

Australia’s Andrew Bogut dominated Mississippi’s Al Jefferson on Jefferson’s home floor tonight. Though from the looks of the crowd, there was probably more interest in this game in Sydney than there was in Minneapolis.
