Boston Massacre Continued


Mike "cry" Bibby and his fellow Atlanta Hawks should be calling country clubs around Georgia and start booking tee times. After calling out Boston fans for being "fairweather," Bibby delivered a stellar line of 12 points and 1 assist. Once again Bibby was outplayed by 2nd year guard Rajon Rondo who filled the stat sheet with 12 points 8 assists and 6 rebounds as the Celtics coasted to another easy victory.
Bibby delivered this quote after Game One:

“But a lot of these fans are bandwagon jumpers trying to get on this now. I played here last year, too. And I didn’t see three fourths of them. They’re for the team now and they might get a little rowdy but that’s about it.”

With a statement that strong, aren't you suppose to come out and deliever a gutsy performance that puts your team in position to win a game? Game three will be played in Atlanta. The Hawks are yet to sell out their playoff game which proves the phrase "Atlanta sports fan" is an oxeymoron.

Other News:

*DJ Augustin and AJ Abrams both broke my heart today by declaring for the NBA draft. This is now two years in a row where my other favorite college team, the Texas Longhorns, have been depleted by the draft. A man named Durrant left school early last year, and now AJ and DJ will join them. DJ figures to be a top 15 pick at best while AJ may not even go at all.


*Pacman Jones has been traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a 4th round pick. Pacman, TO, and Jessica Simpson all in one? Can we please have a camera follow the Cowboys around all season Truman Show style? Now that would be great TV.


*The flu bug has hit the Boston Red Sox in the worst way in late April. Daisuke Matsuzaka's was scratched from his start tonight because of it. Jason Varitek and Manny Delcarmen have also been affected by the bug. The Sox lost tonight 6-4 as Jon Lester pitched on short rest.


*The Barry Bonds' camp has hinted that there may be collusion going on with the baseball owners. His agent has stated that no one has even offered his client a contract worth the league minimum. Sorry, there is no collusion here. It's plain and simple, no team wants a lying and cheating a**hole in their clubhouse.


And I will leave you with another gem from Bill Walton:

"You look at Vladimir Radmanovic, this guy is cut from stone. As if Michelangelo was reading and a lightening bolt flashed before him."
