I guess I would be one.
I hate going outside, I feel that the outside world is extremely aggressive and judgmental, that if you even look someone they might get angry to you just because you stare them (something I can't stop doing because if I see someone with special features, I try to remember those to draw them later) and is even worst if you try to talk or being nice (it has happened to my a lot, I have tried to be nice and people just want to fight you), and lets not even talk about urbanism on the city, I just feel depressed on how things are and how going outside is a struggle.
And I have developed a dislike for social activities, I can't handle to be around people, I hate malls or shoppings, and I can't go to parties, even more when friends invite me they tell me to be nice, because they know for fact that I get frustrated in parties and I canalize my frustration, depression and anxiety on the first ass hole who does a stupid comment.
Also I have this weird believe that there is no place for my outside, as I can't socialize with people, everyone is angry and you need to do such stupid things to be liked, I just find it easier to stay home and draw, at least I can get better in that and I enjoy it.
weird thing is that when I used to go to the psychologist he always tried me to go outside and be social. The deal is that I can be social, but there is no reward on it and it doesn't make me happy either, and he also told me to stop canalizing my problems on drawing because I do it soo much that I don't do it socially. weird.

Resetting Your Inner Clock to Boost Mood, Alertness, and Quality Sleep
An enlightened approach to insomnia, depressed mood, fatigue, and other sleep-related problems of everyday life, harnessing the power of light therapy to reset the natural clock.
Sleep problems and depressed mood often go hand in hand, forming a frustrating cycle. Michael Terman, PhD, has devoted his career to studying the brain functions that feed these disorders. His discoveries in chronotherapy have been widely recognized as game-changers by the medical establishment, and his 2010 New York Times op-ed, "Sleeping (or Not) by the Wrong Clock," shot to number one on the paper's list of most-forwarded online articles. In Chronotherapy, Terman and McMahan reveal the heart of his findings, a powerful program that recalibrates our internal clocks—our exquisitely designed, natural sensitivity to the timing and brightness of light exposure. These delicate mechanisms are often decimated by the modern demands of a 24/7 lifestyle.
Beginning with a questionnaire that pinpoints the problem areas, Terman helps readers decipher when their natural internal night begins and ends. The treatment process can then start, incorporating the power of natural light and, when necessary, supplemental light therapy. His approach has brought relief to thousands of sleep sufferers, as well as those burdened by bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, depression, sleep disorders due to around-the-clock work schedules, and other impediments to vibrant health. For the first time, his findings are now available for a general audience, sharing the essential elements of chronobiology in clear, authoritative, scientifically grounded chapters that are easy to apply to a variety of situations.
Chronotherapy chapters include:
Chapter 1: External vs. Internal Time
The clock on the wall measures twenty-four hours every day, but the clock in your brain runs a little different. How can you help them work together?
Chapter 2: The Pressure to Sleep
Chapter 3: Owls, Larks, and Hummingbirds
Chapter 5: Getting Light Wrong
Chapter 6: Geography and Time
Chapter 8: Nighttime Meds and Melatonin
Chapter 9: Hospitalized with Depression
Chapter 10: Beyond Light: The Charge in the Air
Chapter 12: Strategies for Babies and Children
Chapter 13: The Challenges of Adolescence
Chapter 14: In Later Years
Chapter 16: Racing the Clock, Racing the Sun
Chapter 17: Chronobiology in the Home and Workplace
Chapter 18: Dawn of a Circadian Science
"Like all living organisms, we have an internal clock that sets the timing of our daily behavior and physiology. Also shared is our sensitivity to the environmental fluctuations of light and darkness. Chronobiology seeks to harness this new knowledge to understand critical aspects of the 'when' and 'why' of human behavior. Why does someone become depressed at this particular time of year? Why does one's attention flag every afternoon at the same time? Why can't our children go to sleep until well after midnight? Chronotherapy picks up the baton, seeking to provide rhythm-changing interventions that address these problems. And there is no one that has led the development of this field more so than psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. From the now-mainstream use of bright light therapy, through explanations of melatonin usage, sleep timing modifications, and dawn simulation—the full range of rhythm-shifting strategies is laid out in basic and elegant fashion. This book points us towards a new and enriched age of mental health care."

When taking a break from filming Star Trek episodes or being huge stars of 1920s silent films, some of your favourite celebrities like to wind down with issue 12 of WORN Fashion Journal.
"Wait a second," some of you intone, "Hasn't Louise Brooks been dead for 25 years? WORN's only been around for six. This doesn't make any sense. In fact, it looks like you Photoshopped this in a convoluted attempt to drum up publicity for the magazine. Come on, Anna, who do you think we are? It isn't even good Photoshop."
Hush, gentle readers. It turns out that a love of WORN can transcend even the strictest laws of time, space, physics and photo editing.

I´m done with the Gaunts for now. the seams are not perfect but I´ll make them disappear completely when I get back form C6 and order the right colored decals.
The decals are actually brown but they look very dark.
I weathered them a bit to make them look like in the series. I´m all against clean armor and clothing in a field general of soldier. It makes for a more real effect. I can´t imagine a Jedi with a fully clean gettup in the middle of combat.
and the lightsaber, since I never posted pics of the blade working

Just came back from picking the cloth parts!!
They Look AWESOME (at least to me)
There ARE a couple of details that need fixing like stitching the secondary shoulder pads to the arms to maintain their shape and adding a frame to the border of the hood so it holds the right shape when using it over the head.
Plo uses a HUGE hood... both in the movies and in the CW series... it´s the size of his entire back and waist when not in use and when in use it covers his head and shoulders and runs down past the middle of his back.
this is my first fit test (sans Boots as they´ll be ready on tuesday and lightsaber as i still haven´t received the pommel back) hence why I noticed the problems with the shoulderpads and the shape of the hood.
Let me know what you think with all honesty please.

thanks! haha
I was so desperate to try it out that i missplaced a lot of the pieces!
The back and belly where pulled up under the belt... the back was all wrinkled and it pulled the skirt up! the hood was not properly tucked under the border of the neck and the pants where not tucked in my boots as it should...
So I tried again and this time I made sure everything was placed correctly and the change is superb!!
check it out!!
and my lovely wife Xio... without her I wouldn´t be a 4rth of the man I am today. she has helped and supported me all through this ordeal!
Man, I have to say I love the way it looks. I can honestly say it´s like I´m seeing another guy ion the costume and it´s not me!
I can´t wait for the boots!
hopefully the Judges will feel the same way and accept my app fast enough for me to join the legion photo, the Jedi Knights photo and the diplomatic mission game.

Small little video.
The flash in photos create a shiny effect that the fabrics do NOT have in normal lighting...
in regular light the fabrics look matte and a sort of satinated matte.

Wow guys thanks!!
I really appreciate it!
I´m literally dying to send my App in but first comes the boots.
I´ll send the 4 angle shots and the unmasked pic plus a couple of action shots.
The one inaccurate fact about this is that I weight way more than I should for the costume as Master Po is actually kind of skinny in the series (true... the clone wars series characters are ALL skinny because of the series stylish design) but I´m working on getting rid of my belly. Just in the last week i lost 9.9 pounds. I hope to loose another 9 pounds before I take the plane as I want to look as good as I can and the training will help me with the event wasting my Shebs off LOL

Boots ready! leaving in about 4 hours to pick them up!
the emitter now has the allen screw (was delivered to me today) to hold the blade in place and the pommel was drilled to allow sound to come out... It's still3/4s of the volume it should be but 3/4s is better than nothing.
as soon as I hit home I'll put on the costume and take the App Pics to send it right away! I'm going critical!

There was another successful year for the Houston MC's 5th Annual Food Drive. It was full of family, fun, food and most importantly donations for the Houston Food Bank.
The month of May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness, and all month long everyone is encouraged to be cognitive of the presence of motorcycles when traveling, learn more educational tools on safe riding, and participate in the many methods of spreading the word on motorcycle awareness to motorists. It's important that everyone make an effort to help keep motorcyclists safe while riding.
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) designated the month of May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The entire month of May is dedicated to encouraging motorcyclists and motorists to "share the road" through safety tips, motorcycle education, and accident prevention tools. Continue reading...

Re: Welcome to the Post Big Three Era

Personally I like when you post. I used to be on this board under a different name and yes the board has gone down hill.
Anyway, you were right about me saying that I didn't read your post. The snark was not needed.
I like snark better than bullying if I had my choice.
Consider these two quotes that I pulled from the piece you didn't read: did I write anything untrue or too far fetched to be considered? I don't think so.
"Obviously the Celtic's brass wanted Ray back: and they thought he would make a big difference for the 2012 season, perhaps the last best chance for KG, Paul, and the Celts to have a legit shot, albeit a long shot, at a title in the foreseeable future.
"For some to claim that Ray would not have made a difference to this team is simply ludicrous.It doesn't just border on the absurd, it is absurd."
"I don't even think Paul and KG buy into what Doc and Danny are selling.I don't think Paul and KG even think for one second that Rondo can be the team leader, that it is now Rondo's team.Just look and listen to them, Paul and KG, lip syncing the party line, but their body language and tone tell another story, one that speaks volumes.Why do you think KG wanted Ray back so badly, why do you think he's so put out about not having Ray? "
The guys we have at the two now, they are plan B, correct. The original plan was to have Ray Allen at our services in some role or another, is that not correct?
What's there to argue? It part of history, now. Plan A: Boston wanted Ray, Ray didn't want Boston any more. Correct? Therefore all the guys we're using at the two spot are part of Plan B.
It doesn't hurt to admit that, does it? Is it a stretch to say that Plan B isn't working out so hot? Something wrong with saying that?

"For some to claim that Ray would not have made a difference to this team is simply ludicrous. It doesn't just border on the absurd, it is absurd."
You totally need to grow up. You should not be surprised when people disagree with you, that's what a forum is for. You should not be surprised when you post, one game into a season, that you basically want to declare the season over. You were over-reacting and you got feedback based on that.
I'm going to explain this to you very carefully so you will understand.
The reason you are being criticized is because you made some posts that made portrayed Ray a saint, Rondo like the Devil, and you implied the Celtics season was already over. Even though Ray's playoff performance record with the Celts is mixed. He won us some games and shot us out of a couple others, including that brutal NBA finals loss where he missed 13 threes in a row. He was, on balance, a great player and a great Celtic.
That's why you were criticized, and deservedly so. Now you're trolling on the topic.
Unlike with Perkins, in Ray's case the franchise did everything it could to get Ray back. They did not succeed.
Ray made a choice, and it looks like a good personal choice for him.
Yes, it was too bad he chose our arch-rivals, but there's nothing you can do about that. However, I do question how much he will help the Heat. I do think he will help the Heat a little, but the Heat had some great shooting last year in the playoffs from other guys. It's a great signing for the Heat but Ray is not the reason the Heat are way better than the Celtics. So, that's why I object to portraying Ray as having caused some huge swing in the balance of power between the two teams. It's possible, but I don't think it's true. Wade being healthy and Lebron playing like a King are the main reasons. Father time is visiting Ray as well. At any rate you are portraying it like it's been settled, and it's not settled and won't be for months, so - maybe take a deep breath and see how it plays out?
Folks like you who are going nuts on this refuse to accept that the reason Ray went to Miami was less about the Cetls and more about Lebron being the best player in the league and the Heat where he has the best chance of winning rings and extending his career.
There's no blame there. It is what it is.
As for our team being better without Ray, maybe a few people on this board have said that. I haven't. We're probably not as good without Ray. That said, the reason fans are giving Ainge a chance on this is because Courtney Lee and Jason Terry are a pretty decent backup plan. Far better than what Orlando came up with when Dwight Howard moved on. Got it?
What it comes down to is that you need to let this go. Ray Allen has moved on, the Celts have moved on. You now need to move on. And I don't mean move on from the board, I mean from this topic. That said if you choose to keep posting on it don't be surprised if others choose to disagree....

In response to RajonRondowski's comment:[QUOTE]
Ray Allen won't be walking back through that door any time soon . . . in a Celtic's uniform.
The Big Three Era ended when Ray walked. And Ray Allen won't be walking back through that door any time soon . . . in a Celtics uniform. Obviously the Celtic's brass wanted Ray back: and they thought he would make a big difference for the 2012 season, perhaps the last best chance for KG, Paul, and the Celts to have a legit shot, albeit a long shot, at a title in the foreseeable future.
For some to claim that Ray would not have made a difference to this team is simply ludicrous. It doesn't just border on the absurd, it is absurd.
Some things are complex, such as the professional and personal dynamics that led to Ray leaving the Celtics, but some things are simple: what is simple in this case is that the Heat got measurably better by adding Ray Allen and the Celtics got immeasurably worse by losing Ray Allen. It doesn't even take a high basketball IQ to understand the how and the why of this simple fact.
There are those on this board who try to bully and browbeat anyone who speaks positively of Ray Allen, and I suspect that they are the same ones who were giving Ray short shrift since he arrived in Boston, calling for him to be traded each year since he arrived. There has never been a shortage of Ray haters on this forum. Now they think that by repeating lies often enough and loud enough they become true . . . no, no, no, they've tried that in politics and most people see right through that: A lie is a lie, is a lie. And a bully is a bully whether on the playground or in a forum. The Ray haters have turned into the bullies of the forum attacking anyone who won't buy into their groupthink and agree with them. Go $crew yourselves.
Commiecontrairian said it well: "[The] green will regret not giving ray his respect earlier and casually dangling him out there and making him an afterthought."
That's a short statement, but it packs a punch and carries a lot of truth in its content.
The browbeaters and bullies of the forum try to discredit Ray at each and every step even downplaying his early success with the Heat while placing their hopes and dreams on one Avery Bradley who, last time I checked, hadn't won anything or proven anything and who may prove to be so injury prone he may never be a factor for the Celtics. I hope Avery comes back and develops into a perennial All-Star and more importantly straightens out this Celtics team and leads us to the title in 2012/13. However, I would like our chances a lot better if Ray Allen were playing for the Celtics and not the Heat.
One word sums up today's Post Big Three Era team: B-O-R-I-N-G!
This collection of run-of-the-mill players will never win anything, I'm afraid. Who among the faithful believes this team can contend for a title this year as constituted? Step right up and speak up loud and clear, don't be shy.
I don't even think Paul and KG buy into what Doc and Danny are selling. I don't think Paul and KG even think for one second that Rondo can be the team leader, that it is now Rondo's team. Just look and listen to them, Paul and KG, lip syncing the party line, but their body language and tone tell another story, one that speaks volumes. Why do you think KG wanted Ray back so badly, why do you think he's so put out about not having Ray? Don't answer, a rhetorical question has an implied answer.
This whole "re-tooling" farce is Plan B after Danny lost Ray. He scrambled around to put together the missing pieces and everyone slapped him on the back for putting together the "deepest team" in the NBA, on paper, at least. Paper don't play.
Hey, this team may gel overnight and make an unprecedented run straight to the playoffs, and I'd be a happy man to get to see that and be more than happy to admit that I was wrong. Hey, Let's hope I'm wrong and that this team is not boring, is not a run-of- the-mill, middle-of-the-pack NBA team or worse.
In the meantime, I shall remain critical of Celtic's management as is my right as a fan and I shall mourn the loss of Ray Allen, as is also my right as a fan. Being critical of my team, the Celtics, does not imply disloyalty, does not make me a bad fan, a bandwagon fan, or imply that I am not, in that laughable terminology of the bullies-of-the-board a "real" fan.
To the Bullies-of-the-Board
(You know who you are: you who tell people how to think and what not to say and demand that everyone agree with you or else get off the board (you know to whom I'm talking.)
To the bullies-of-the-board, the browbeaters, who can't accept that someone actually disagrees with them, or dares to venture an independent opinion, I say get a grip. Stop your bullying tactics, stop calling people stupid simply because they disagree with you. Stop calling people names, period. Stop looking for simplistic explanations for complex problems. Try to make this board a better place. It is bad enough we have to deal with Laker and Heat trolls, but we don't have to descend to their low level by bickering among ourselves.
The name-calling, the bullying, and browbeating some Celtic's fans engage in have made this board a pathetic place to be. Say that fast 3 Xs. Lol
I don't ever remember this board being such an unpleasant place to share a passion for Celtic's basketball.
Ya can't look at much, can ya, Man.
[/QUOTE]Well, you have your style.
I believe that the Celts as constituted right now will be offensively challenged. They will not be able to match up with the Heat. At the same time, Ray's presence would not have helped too much. He made a good decision for himself.
However, there are some things to look forward to. The first is the emergence of Sullinger. He should soon grow to be a valuable contributor to the Celtics. The second is the growth of Jeff Green. I am interested in seeing what he becomes when he grows up. The third is the growth of Avery Bradley. Unfortunately, he is coming off of surgery. But he has the ingredients to become a special player. Finally, the trade deadline. Once Ray decided to leave, without commenting on his reasons, Danny had very little room to maneuver. He will have more flexibility at the trade deadline.
All of these need to happen for the Celts to challenge Miami. Clearly, the probability of all of these happening is very low. There is another possibility: Rondo successfully adjusts his game to meet the team needs and becomes an offensive player. Somehow, that seems to be the least likely to happen.
I have serious concerns about the quality of the Celtics roster. However, I am still supporting the team and will look forward to interacting on this board and watching the Celts games this year.

"It doesn't hurt to admit that, does it? Is it a stretch to say that Plan B isn't working out so hot? Something wrong with saying that?"
Yes there is something wrong with saying that. Well, you can say it, but it has no credibility.. You're passing judgement on Plan B too soon.
Here's the deal:
-yes, it was plan B to lose Ray Allen
- but, and here's one you're missing: yes, Ainge did a terrific job coming up with a good plan B given what was out there and available
- yes, it doesn't look like plan B is working out great so far, but
- yes, it's way too early to judge how well this will work out for either team
- yes, it's time to quit starting threads on Ray Allen and how much it hurts to lose him, time to move on
- yes, just like most roster shifts it will take some time to see how this worked out for both teams
- yes, it is foolish to pronounce the season over and to hand out rings after one game
- yes, the Celtics have challenges far beyond losing a very old player, including the age of their two other best players
- one of the main reasons the Celts are struggling is due to the disappointing play of Jeff Green, which has nothing to do with Ray Allen at all
- no, Rondo was not the only reason Ray left. Blame falls on Doc and Ainge and Ray himself for not seeing that the team was better off with Bradley starting and him coming off the bench. Everyone shares blame when things don't work out.
See, that wasn't so hard was it?

p.s. Rajonrondowski lest there be any misunderstanding, I think personally you are a valued contributor on this board, and as a staunch free speech advocate the only people I would ever personally want off this board are those Laker trolls and fake Celtic fan sockpuppets who are clearly here to disrupt. Otherwise in my view, as just one voice, I think all are welcome. You and I just happen to passionately disagree on this topic and I also think you could have expressed your views without writing off the season one game in, which bothered me because nothing is settled - yet.

The idea that Ray Allen was treated so badly by the Celtics is rewritten history. Ray was treated like a star that he was when he got here. The Celtics tried to trade him which was nothing but good business.

In response to prakash's comment:[QUOTE]
I have serious concerns about the quality of the Celtics roster. However, I am still supporting the team and will look forward to interacting on this board and watching the Celts games this year.
Nicely put, prakash. I agree with the last paragraph, above, that I put in italics.
Your post reads like something written by a grownup. Not once did you accuse me of saying something I did not say nor did you atack me as person. You addressed some of the content of my actual thread post and actualy agreed with some of my assessments.
What's there to argue, like I said?
I agree with much of what you said. Jeff Green is pretty much a grown-up now,and I don't see much change in him comming. More consistency, maybe, but he's a laid back guy and he seems to be sufering with confidence issues and a lack of intensity--that just may be his style. I lke Jeff and hope he succeds AB, I worry about with those injuried shoulders and I worry that his injury problems will beccome chronic and keep him off the court too much.
And on Rondo, I sadly agree.
As I've stated previousely, the marketing hype srrounding this team pre-season really irrittated me and the rah-rah pre-requisites of the thought-police here, along with the hate directed toward Ray all combined to form my attitude today.

In response to BostonTrollSpanker's comment:[QUOTE]
Well, thank you for that. That was quite unexpected. I recognize your passion as I have witnessed it over the years.
However, you do atribute to me something I never said both in this post and in previous ones. 1) I never wrote off the season, unless you mean by saying that I don't think these guys will win anything as constituted. That's pretty much conventional wisdom around the league. The Celtic's organization marketed this team to us as a title contender, and it upsets me to actually see the product they hyped so much in action.
I also never claimed that Ray was right, the Celtics wrong. I simply stated that I took a nuanced view over a complex issue where neither party covered themselves in glory. I think Ray really wanted to retire a Celtic for a long time, and I think the Celtics really wanted Ray back. In that sense neither party got what they wanted, but I think the C's came out on the losing end of that deal and the Heat won, at least as long as Ray performs well for them under his two year contract.
I do believe the Celtics could have handled Ray better from a management perspective, where it is management's duty to manage difficult people, manage egos, and juggle responsibilities. Ray, also, could have handled things better. Neither party covered themselves in glory, but I'm not hating on Ray or the Celtics for it, just combatting some of the foolishness I've read here.
The many people who seem to think (hope?) Ray will fail in Miami surprises me and the litinany of reasons they give for thinking Ray will fail is laughable, isn't it. Is that what you call, moving on?
At least you do acknowledge that Lee, Barbosa, and Terry were Plan B. That the Celtics wanted Ray and Avery, along with Rondo, in the back-court. They had to scramble to fill in the gaps and then the Celtics put some mighty spin on it, and that, imho, was a mistake.
Some things make me react negatively and they all kind of came together here in a perfect storm of sorts and I managed to address most of them in one single thread/'post.
I don't think going negative is a sin but a good way to expres your emotions at a time when you feel put upon, disappointed, and unhappy with the bill of goods you'ver been sold.
That's why I always say . . .
Ya can't look at much, can ya, Man.

Haven't been to the board for a few days and just saw this thread. I have to say it is pretty comical to read RR's manifesto against bullying when it has been he in the past that has been most commonly labelled a board bully.

In response to RajonRondowski's comment: Ray Allen is a whining sack of ego who demands diva treatment instead of being available for the betterment of the team. Taking less money to play with you bro's is one thing - which is what the Heat divas did - but taking less money to join you enemies? That's just classless - there is no defending that act of traitorism. So whether the Celt's would be better off with The Traitor is a moot point. He is gone. Get over it. Does an aging diva look his best in the first game of the season when he has rested up all off-season? Assuredly! Did he leak the Celt's game plans to the Heat? Admittedly! Now: will The Traitor formerly Known as Ray Allen be healthy come playoffs? No clue. We can only hope that Father Time delivers the karmac coup-d' grace so deserving of such a loser. We have much more relevant issues to concern ourselves with.

Then why did you just waste your time and mine with a rant that I consider so wrong-headed that I've heard schoolboys with a more mature take on a professional sports issue.
Players stopped being slaves to management with Curt Flood, and loyalty is a two way street. Professional sports is a business and as such there are no traitors.

Curt Flood would roll over in his grave if he ever knew a Free Agent turned down double the salary and a no-trade clause with a possible starting role to go come off the bench for your arch-rival, who really doesn't need you!!!

[/QUOTE]Can you share your opinion of me with my son? It will be really helpful.
Thanks for calling me a grown up. The interesting thing is that it took me a while to grow up. I was an unsure punk for a while. But with the right situation and support, it happened albeit a little late.
That is why I was holding hope for Rondo's continuing growth last year, just as I do now for this year. But I do believe that Rondo will only manage to reduce his liabilities, not overcome them.
The same hope I hold for Jeff Green. I do believe that throughout his career, he was never put on the spot. There was never a strong demand for him to grow up, to step up. That demand is being made now and he has to respond or wither. He is feeling the pressure. I hope he responds.
I too worry about AB's shoulder. But then there is a lot more to worry about with these Celtics. So lets shove these negative feelings aside and hop on the band wagon and get ready to enjoy another season of Celtics basketball. Lets raise our glasses to our Boston Celtics!! May they have a season to remember!!

Agree 100%!
This is a team with flaws and lots of new players... let's stop the hate 3 games in and support the guys and what can only be a team that gets better and jells together..
Blasting the GM over not keeping Ray... when Ray clearly didn't want to be here and completely destroyed his reputation in the eyes of (most) Celtic fans with his crybaby traitor behavior.... gets us nowhere.
nobody needs negative essays written on why the season is a failure already. Snarky non-Celtic fans like Pud and Rico will do these little hit and run attacks forever b/c they have made it clear for the past 4 years they are miserable people with an agenda to smear and assault Rondo and Ainge at all turns.
Let's have those who consider themselves fans of the green show Celtic Pride and support the product we have while understanding that the team tried to keep Ray and the plan B is a pretty darn talented and deep club that just need time to come together...

In response to rameakep comment:
Dammmnnnn . . . . it's getting to be kind of like a veritable luuuuuv fest around here.
Prak, that's a very nuanced take on Rondo and how he may progress this season. Is it a case of him being his own worse enemey? Do we give him credit for being more intelligent than he is? Doc credits Rondo with the highest basketball IQ ever, and I always equate that with his general intelligence quatient, but I may have made a false assumption. Hate when I do that. Like how smart is it to dribble the shot clock away and then clank one up or look for a temamate to bail you out with an ill advised shot. He's got us all in a holding pattern waiting to see which way he will turn.
I'll tell ya this, if he can ever become a knock down jumb shooter there'll be no stopping him. And if his decision making in the half-court offence improves he could be debated as among the best ever. A big "IF", but doable.
This is a great opportunity for a number of guys to step up and find out what they're made of, Jeff Green among them, but Lee in particular. I don't know him will but have not liked what I've seen so far. But then again, nobody in a Celtic uniform looks particularly comfortable out there right now.
Plan B has to work, it's the only plan we got now. As for the trolls and the hypercritical, there is quite a difference between being critical and criticisizing them [Doc & Danny] for particular actions or inactions, it's another thing alltoghether to smear and attack their intellignence and integrity.
I've traditionally been an huge Doc and Danny supporter and defender so I don't feel I have to pull my punches when I don't agree with their actions and level criticism at them. Their decisions, with which I may not agree, don't make me hate them, and being critical of them doesn't make me a bad guy.
I predict going to .500 very soon. Staying there, ah, that is the question.
posted at 11/8/2012 12:08 PM EST
You're passing judgement on Plan B too soon.
Pretty well put, Spanker.
Yes, Danny did a good job with Plan B, considering he had to scramble to do so.
"-yes, it's way too early to judge how well this will work out for either team"
Isn't it a safe bet to say that it will probably work out pretty well for Miama, but that the jury is still out in Boston?
On Jeff Green, yes I agree, if Jeff was playingup to his ability the C's would be doing much better. Would it be safe to say that many of us expected perhaps 15 pts. per game from Jeff, at least in the 10 to 15 range?
And we expected Green to be getting many easy buckets off of Rondo passes in transition: where's that hiding?
Maybe we expect too much too sonn after his long layoff. I think he will come around, but it may take some time. When he does come around, I predict that it'll be like someone flipped a switch.
Many of the C's woes could disappear overnight if Green steped it up.
And again, last night's game showed in a bad light, what happens when KG comes out.
Another victory, in OT this time against a team decimated by injury.

[/QUOTE]I think what you are referring to is "post trade syndrome" where a player gets scorned for being dealt, except Ray was not dealt, he just wasnt courted and so its the same results. The Player works his tail off in the offseason because he wants to prove he still has it. His new team wants to show him he made the right decision and allow him to rub it in so they do everything possible to let him play a good game. This usually dies down after a month or so and the player looks like his old self and we all know Ray is gonna be hobbling down the stretch come April and thats when it counts not now..
posted at 11/8/2012 12:28 PM EST
A decent reality based and sensible post there Rondowski
I would say that the jury is still out on the C's yes, and Miami is absolutely happy with their new addition, but for them to 'expect' even 80% of this Ray allen all season is wild fantasy... they need to hold back his mins, pray he is healthy come May, and even then its not like they didn't get 3 insane shooting games from Mike Miller to close out series last year (14-20) and good 3 point shooting from thier bench.. Ray doesn't make them that much better than what they had.
As for Boston there is little question it will get better here. This team played GREAT with Avery in the starting lineup late last season... he will be back there by mid-Dec and back to his old self a few weeks later.
Once that happens, the expectations on Lee and Terry are reduced... you want them to just shoot their career #'s and solidify the bench. What is to be expected is that they will improve upon the bench we had last year. when Avery began his hot streak it was a month before Ray was hurt but he really took off as a starter. During that time Sasha and Moore were the backup SG's. Then Ray came back in the playoffs and shot 41/27/67 in 30 mins and gave us 10 pts.
It is safe to say that a Bradley/Lee duo, w a lil Terry thrown in, is going to be superior this year to the Bradley, Sasha, hurt Ray w/ a lil Dooling thrown in SG group of a year ago... that managed ton be on fire late in the season and win 2 playoff series.
Terry will prove to be better than Dooling
My expectations for Green were 26 mins and 11-13 points and to be better than Pietrus.. I still except that.
Bass looks better than a year ago and Sully is def better than playing Pietrus at PF or Ryan Hollins.
Wilcox and Darko have a long way to go to prove to be better than Steimsma, but probably will in the end. This team needs a serious frontcourt addition to really contend, but has the parts to get it done.

-TripleOG you don't have to copy the entire thread or post when you reply, especially if it's a long post, you can delete all of it or at least the non-relevent parts.
I know that syndrome you speak of, and I don't think it applies here. Ray Allen is far from an average player, and I don't believe he thinks that way. he just goes about his routine day in day out and keeps his conditioning up to a level superior to most NBA players. His creaky ankle was repaired in the off-season, and Miami does not have him running off screens all game.
I think Ray will hold up well and have a great season.
I'm more concerned about Avery Bradly. After his brief moment in the sun he's been out of commission while Ray, the guy so mailgned here, is playing at the top of his game.
Bradley's been out a long time and may be plaqued with creaky shoulders his entire career. The Celtic's management has a reputation, also, of not being forthcomming about injuries. That's got me wondering about Bradley.
I wonder why posters are not talking about how Bradley will be breaking down by the end of the season: there's as much evidence for that as there is for Ray, one of the best conditioned players in the NBA, breaking down.
I hope they both stay healthy and have great seasons. It's a lot more fun to watch them play than sit.

The two northern Nevada prep basketball powers were deadlocked at 26-26 after Spanish Springs got back-to-back layups from Dupree Kness with just over four minutes to go in the third quarter. Galena went on to outscore Spanish Springs 13-6 through the remainder of the period and Spanish Springs was never able to tie or take the lead again.
"Our shot selection was good, but our turnovers were not," Galena coach Brian Voyles said. "Still, it was good to play from ahead. Offensively, we were able to work it around and be more patient. That turned out to be pretty significant."
Galena got into the bonus early, even benefitting from an 8-to-1 foul margin against Spanish Springs with just over two minutes to go in the third. The Grizz also got an extra possession and trip to the charity stripe after Cougars coach Kyle Penney was whistled for a late third quarter technical foul.
Galena got a layup off a baseline cut from Alex McClellan to cap the third period scoring and take a 39-32 lead, equaling the largest scoreboard gap of the game to that point.
"We had a stretch in the third period that hurt us and that's probably the difference in the game," Spanish Springs coach Kyle Penney said. "We were on the road, playing obviously in a tough environment and against a good team as well. Our kids competed and grinded it out. They played through a lot of different types of adversity throughout a few segments in the game and yet they kept coming back. We just couldn't get over the hump and some of that is fighting through so much adversity and maybe a bit of fatigue as well."
The host Grizzlies extended their edge to eight, 44-36, after a pair of free throws by Scott Geerling at the 5:25 mark of the fourth quarter. Spanish Springs clawed its way back and was able to stay in contention, trimming the Galena lead to four on three occasions. The last of those came after Cougars point guard Kenny Meyer made good on 1-of-2 foul shots at the 2:02 mark of the fourth, leaving the scoreboard to read 49-45.
Spanish Springs was unable to get any closer and Galena connected on 7-of-8 free throws down the stretch to close out the 10-point triumph.
Galena was effective in slowing down Meyer, one of the region's top scorers, who posted 35 and 22 points respectively in games against North Valleys and Bishop Manogue last weekend. Meyer finished with 19 Tuesday but was just 5-of-14 shooting from the field as Galena defenders were draped on his every move. Meyer wound up fouling out with 1:02 to go in the contest.
"We had two kids today who knew going in that was their job, to be relentless in guarding Kenny," Voyles said. "They traded off and they did a pretty good job. He still had 19 points but he had to work hard for everything he got. We wanted to make somebody else be the hero for them because we already knew Kenny could be."
Kness chipped in 13 points for Spanish Springs but no other Cougar had more than six points in the loss.
The SSHS cagers finished 14-of-38 (36.8 percent) shooting from the floor. The biggest discrepancy in the game was at the foul line. Spanish Springs made 13-of-24 free-throw tries but Galena finished 25-of-37 at the stripe.
The first half was a bit slower paced in the offensive ledger. Spanish Springs took a 6-3 advantage after back-to-back treys from Jake Longero and Meyer, but Galena wrapped up the first period on a 10-2 burst and the visiting Cougars never led again.
Galena stretched its lead to 20-13 after a 3-point play by Dillon Voyles with just over three minutes left before halftime. Spanish Springs then proceeded to rip off seven straight points and knot the matchup at 20 apiece after another Longero 3-pointer, this time with 32 seconds to go before the intermission.
Galena took a 21-20 lead into the locker room at the halftime break.
Galena's big man, 6-foot 6-inch junior post Zack Lessinger, leads the Grizzlies in scoring, averaging 16.5 points per outing this winter. He finished with 13 points Tuesday, but he made his presence felt as the SSHS defense was constantly forced to double team him.
"He hurt us early on and he got Dupree for two quick fouls. That hurt as well," Penney said of Lessinger. "He's a tough guard, but I thought we did a god job of creating some problems for him as well. But in key moments of the game, they were able to get him an easy bucket ... He did impact the game no doubt."
Josiah Wood chipped in 10 points for Galena.
Galena (14-6, 9-2 SL), which leads the Sierra League, has won nine straight conference clashes after dropping its first two of the year -- in December to Reno and Carson.
Spanish Springs came into the game leading the High Desert League, but fell a game behind Reed following the loss at Galena. Spanish Springs sits 13-8 overall and 8-3 in league meetings. The Cougars travel to play at Reno Friday at 7 p.m.
"We're just looking at the next one," Penney said. "It's too early to look at the big picture. There are too many games left and too many good teams ... We're still in control of our being No. 1 (in the HDL). For us it's about still defending our spot. We must defend the position we're in and look to improve on it."

NHL's slow motion trainwreck
By Stu Hackel
If the CBA negotiations are a dance, let's all do The Grind.
The long grind of the lockout, now in its third month, is replacing the long grind of the NHL regular season and there's no end in sight. Oh, it could end if the NHLPA capitulated entirely or the owners offered inducements so the deal provided the players with at least some upside compared to the previous CBA. Neither seems to be happening at the moment and, unless additional compromises ensue, we'll be left to witness this evolving train wreck in slow motion, day by day.
The damage is piling up — the league's sponsorship for next season with Kraft being the latest casualty — and at times the simmering mess boils over into open hostility, the latest manifestations of which were Kris Versteeg calling Gary Bettman and Bill Daly "cancers" and someone producing hats for the locked out players to wear that read "Puck Gary." Words and gestures like that don't really help matters and reflect badly on the players as a whole — a group that has historically been the best ambassadors in all of sports. However, as Eric Duhatschek wrote in The Globe and Mail, bad behavior during lockouts is not new.
With the sour smell of frustration in the air, the sides met on Monday night — the first time in 10 days — for another try at progress. "The meeting was requested by the union and it's their agenda," Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said prior to the session. "We will see what they have to tell us."
What the players wanted to discuss was contracting rights, but the owners cut the dialogue short, insisting that any negotiation of those rights could only proceed once the parties settled their disagreement on the split of revenue. Well, so much for "their meeting, their agenda."
Ninety minutes later, the players delegation departed the NHL offices with a homework assignment to consider — the owners' request that they'd like to see a comprehensive written proposal from the PA that addresses the core economics and the contracting rights.
[UPDATE: The PA will return with their homework on Wednesday.]
Here's Don Fehr after the meeting.
And here's Bill Daly afterward.
(And before going any further, praise is due to NHL.com, which has been a surprisingly fair source of information throughout the lockout. In 2004-05, the league spun off a part of its site to feed a one-sided view of things to fans, but this time out, stories from NHL.com have generally played it straight down the middle. It's been a minimalist approach, but with no agenda driving it, presenting stories which chronicle what was said by both sides along with unedited video, like that of Daly above; spokesmen from both sides, not just the league, are presented.)
So in Daly's video, he remarks, "(The NHLPA said) they've moved significantly in our direction on economics, we pushed them a little on that to understand where they are on economics and I don't think we got any more clarity on that. So we asked, it's our position that we've made a couple comprehensive proposals in a row. We'd like to know where they are on all of the issues and we asked them to think about putting together a comprehensive proposal for us to consider."
Asked if the league has told the PA that it would be willing to move on the contracting issues if the union moved on the economics, Daly responded, "We do think they're related, and we want to see where we are and how close we might be on economics before necessarily tackling exactly where we are on player contracting."
Was that a very cautious, stylized answer in the affirmative? Tough to say.
TSN reported, "A source close to the negotiations says there now seems to be a sense of urgency coming from the players and indications are the NHLPA is preparing a series of 'give and take' proposals. If the NHLPA's series of proposals materializes and addresses some concerns, talks on contract issues will pick up."
And maybe a reported change in the mood of ownership, if true, might have softened the owners as well.
So the grind continues, as it must. The alternative, not talking at all or blowing up the season entirely, is on some minds, but taking those steps would be an affront to everyone — players, owners, fans — unless every last effort is expended to make a deal.
We're nowhere near that yet and it's quite unclear how near we are to an agreement. That's what doin' the grind is all about.
