Double Bagels...And I Ain't Talkin' Lenders...

Mark Blount finally got called out in the Boston papers today. Both the Herald and Globe finally decided to rip him and tell the thruth. Blount sucks. He got his 6, 42 million dollar contract in the off season and is now sitting on it and stealing Celtic fans of their hard earned money. His lack of desire is only matche dby his lack of skills. He's 7 feet tall, but still manages to get out played by smaller centers and power forwards. He can't rebound to save his life. He's the only center who's game revolves around his standing at the top of the key like he's hiding from the ball. Could you contest a shot, pleaee. Just one. Show us you have a pulse. His pathetic 5.60 rebounds (that's def. and off.) per game is a joke. He's a 7 footer. he should be hauling in an average of 10+ a game. Al Jefferson, a rookie, all of age 19, in 13 minutes less a game is averaging 4.80 rebounds per game. That's less than one rebound difference. Against the Bulls on 1/19/2005, Blount fired up a double bagel in the win against the Bulls: 0 points, 0 rebounds, 3 turnovers, 0 blocks, 3 fouls, all in 22 minutes. He also averages a little under 2 and a half T.O.s a game to go along with his sour 10.4 points a game. Is that worth 42 million? I say not even 42 dollars. he has hands of stone. 3 times the Celtics dished it to him in the paint against the Bulls and he dropped it like the ball had A.I.D.S. He might be better off with no hands. Point is Blount f'd the Celtics. He was hungry last years and showed his potential. He then got his money and has gone back to being the player he was 2 years ago. Doc Rivers should bench Blount, move Raef to center and start Big Al at PF. Blount isn't doing a thing on the floor so why not let him rot on the bench and let Kendrick Perkins pick up a few more minutes here and there. His 3 points, 9 board and 3 blocks against Chicago was audition enough for me. And have you seen Blount try to set a pick? Oi! Vey!
