Some Loose Thoughts

Wait, so the real Jesus Shuttlesworth is joining the player who played Jesus Shuttlesworth? I feel like I am watching the real, real life J.Peterman tour.

Kramer: I’m only charging $37.50, plus you get a pizza bagel and desert.

George: What’s desert?

Kramer: Bite-size Three Musketeers. Just like the real Peterman eats.

George: He eats those?

Kramer: No. I eat those. I’m the real Peterman.

George: I think I understand this. Jay Peterman is real. His biography is not. Now, you Kramer are real.

Kramer: Talk to me.

George: But your life is Peterman’s. Now the bus tour, which is real, takes to places that, while they are real, they are not real in sense that they did not *really* happen to the *real* Peterman which is you.

Kramer: Understand?

Jerry: Yeah. $37.50 for a Three Musketeers

From ESPN:

As we embrace the notion of Stephon Marbury in Celtic Green, some reference points for your Marbury conversations:

• Ray Allen and Stephon Marbury were traded for each other on draft day 1996. Marbury was drafted fourth, by Milwaukee. Allen was drafted fifth, by Minnesota. The Timberwolves gave the Bucks a future first-round pick (it became Danny Fortson) to switch.
• Ray Allen played Jesus Shuttlesworth — a point guard from Coney Island’s Lincoln High, apparently modeled on Marbury — in the Spike Lee movie “He Got Game.”

Personally I think the pick up is great. I think Marbury is playing for another ocntact and the Celtics have enough verteran locker room presence to keep him in check. He is a much much better upgrade from Gabe Pruitt and now Eddie House can come off the bench and be the 2 guard. The team is significantly better with the fake real Jesus, althought obviously the actual actor playing Jesus is better than the guy who he was portraying.

It might feel good, it might sound a little somthin’, but damn the game if it don’t mean nothin’!!

The Celtics continue to to roll over this league called the NBA. They have a 19 game winning streak and are currently in the midst of a 12 game win streak (side note: Lakers snapped their 19 game streak and they play on thursday in Boston).  To this point the real All-Star on the team has been Jesus Shuttlesworth. You can really tell he is much more comfortable this year than he was last year. For his entire carrer he  has been the guy who has had the ball in his hands, and now coming to the Celtics he has had to play more off-ball picks ect, which is a major adjustment but his stats this year are just fantastic: 18.1 ppg, 94.1% FT, 50% from the field and 41% from beyond the arc.  He probably should have been chosen over Paul Pierce for the all-star game as a reserve, but now with the injury to Jameer Nelson he will probably get the nod. (Don’t blow this Stern and pick Mo Williams)

And as for the game last night; great, great pass by Pierce. He could have driven and tied the game, but he saw that smooth stroker open in th corner and knew he could count on him; Because HE GOT GAME!!
