Did I miss something? Why does everyone boo Bibby?

It is amazing how far Bibby has fallen off the map. He is borderline scrub material now.

Oh. When was that and what did he say? Just paraphrase if you don't mind.

yeah, basically he said most boston fans that go to the games now are just bandwagon fans and 3/4 of them didnt even show up last year or someting


BOSTON (AP) -- Mike Bibby thought the Celtics' crowd was loud in the playoff opener. He should get an even bigger earful in Game 2 after slamming the fans.

Bibby called Boston's backers "fair weather" fans who jumped on the "bandwagon" when the Celtics grew from one of the NBA's worst teams last season into the one with the best record in the league this season.



Sunday's crowd was "kind of loud at the beginning," Bibby said calmly, "but a lot of these fans might be bandwagon jumpers. They try to get on this now. Because I played here last year, too. I didn't see three-fourths of them so it might be that.

"I remember them having bags on their heads," he said. "Are they the ones that had bags on their heads last year? It's just a different look, but I guess that happens when you win."

Borderline? He is contributing NOTHING but missed shots, turnovers and zero defense. He had his moments in the regular season, but of late he has been the worst player on the team. Law played so much better this game but Bibby still gets more time.

Overall the Hawks are the dumbest and laziest team in the league, though. We need a new coach desperately. (GM and owner too) With a decent coach we'd be at the very least the 6th seed and playing our favorite Orlando team.

Law looks great. I knew he was going to be a good pickup.

Can Boston just play the rest tomorrow and Friday so they can the Hawks over with? This is getting boring. I want Boston to have some extra rest for the 2nd round.

Yeah, Rondo is clearly outclassing Bibby. Considering that was basically the only matchup where the Hawks were trying to claim a significant advantage before the series started, that's a huge slap in the face. The Celtics basically have the Hawks beat in every possible way. This playoff series looks like a waste of time for both teams, except maybe to get the Celtics' young players some experience in the playoffs.

I'm surprised he played as well as he did tonight. He didn't do really anything all season (part him sucking at times, part injuries and with everything else part Woodson). I definitely wish he'd get Bibby minutes in game 3 unless Bibby finds his shot.

Why the hell is the big three still in there?

I don't wish injuries upon anyone but I almost wish something would happen just to see Doc get criticized for it. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Forget Shelden, I rather have Lue and/or AJ right now. Lue can at least hit open shots.
