whore nets a loss

C’s honor the memory of Red Auerbach and inaugurate the 2006/07 season in the most fitting way possible – a loss at home to a lottery team. The Sebastian Telfair era begins in earnest with a veteran-type contribution of 5 points 1 assist and 2 turnovers. Meanwhile Brandon Roy already has 6 points and 1 assist with 1:05 to go in the first quarter of the Portland/Seattle game.

The key phrase of the evening was “Small Ball,” as in, one of the many things we’re likely to find in Doc River’s skull cavity in lieu of a brain. Celticsblog calls it “gutsy.” We call it “nutsy.” This team might actually make the playoffs with a competent coach, but with Shits at the helm they have all the promise for glory and triumph as the Bataan Death March.

In other news, Paul Pierce is a beast but still can’t hit free throws. Rondo appears a cut above Orien Greene. 2006 Accountemps 6th star award winner Delonte West wins the first unofficial Hamcock of the season.

As for the play by play, my means of observing the competition were limited, but it was clear that the C’s were definitely a different team after halftime. Unfortunately, that team isn’t really all that good either. All in all, a likely harbinger of a gruesome season ahead.

This is based on sitting in a dark room and hitting “refresh” on the Yahoo box score page for two and a half hours. Anyone who actually watched the game, please contribute below. And anyone else, of course.
