Danny Ainge is a good guy? No, that is not what is being said here.
So Danny Ainge is a bad guy? No, you are just putting words in my mouth.
Danny is Danny, a Celtic for life. He played on those great Boston Celtic teams with the Chief, Bird, McHale, and Dennis Johnson. Every year it seemed they battled the Los Angeles Lakers of Kareem, Magic, and Worthy. Those were some great ballgames.
Now Danny is the GM of Boston and already has a NBA title to his credit and …read more

Pau Gasol brings scoring to the Lakers
The Lakers essentially traded less than nothing to the Lakers for Pau Gasol.
In an unbelievable pickup the Lakers are right back in the hunt for the NBA Championship.

Geez, Garnett is even leading LeBron James in the All Star voting! There are not any Pistons even close in the voting.
And then there is the Big Three thing with Garnett, Allen, and Pierce, as they hope to imitate some of the success of the real Big Three of Bird, McHale, and Parish.

Danny Ainge can’t help but be happy these days
Who can forget all the epic battles with the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. Boston had an unbelievable starting lineup with Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge complementing the big three of Robert Big Chief Parish, Kevin McHale, and Larry Bird.
When my Pistons played them, it was pick your poison. Stop Parish, McHale and Bird would score. Stop McHale, Parish and Bird would score. Stop B…well, you never really stopped Larry Bird.

Jermaine was under the tutelage of Rasheed Wallace when he played on the Portland Trailblazers, at the beginning of the Jailblazer time period. During those 4 years he barely played and barely scored, but everyone knew he would be a good one. Jermaine was drafted straight out of High School. The next 7 years with the Pacers established Jermaine as a rare 20 – 10 man as he averaged close to …read more
