Outbidding both Steve Kerr and Michael Jordan, Colangelo pulled a ku-de-ta in a surprise 11th hour signing. Norman has slipped through the cracks, going un-drafted out of college, and toiling in obscurity until Paul Pierce found him during a pick-up game in South Central Los Angeles.
Although he is ineligible for the 2008 playoffs, Norman is expected to start at the three spot come next season. His age was a concern, but B.C. though the shooting outweighed any physical liabilities he may have. Dave Hopla has called him the greatest pure shooter in the world:

Ahh crap, not the Boston Celtics (33-6) again! Well the good news is that this will be the last time the Toronto Raptors (22-19) have to play the Celtics during the regular season, but the bad news is that the Raptors havent been able to beat the Celtics in three attempts. The last time these two teams met was on December 16th, when the Celtics handed the Raptors a 90-77 loss. There was optimism in the Raptors locker room because “Raptor-killer” Ray Allen was out of the line up because of an injured ankle, but it was short lived. Kevin Garnett led the way, scoring 18 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists. Chris Bosh struggled from the field, shooting 4-12 for 17 points, but did grab 13 rebounds.

…The Raptors being the Atlantic champions that is. The Wolves and Celtics finally agreed to a trade that gutted the Celtics bench (Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Gerald Green, Ryan Gomes and Sebastian Telfair) in return for the 10 time all-star Kevin Garnett. With Ainge’s earlier trade landing Ray Allen, there was definitely a push to win now. With The Garnett move, the Celtics move into the Eastern Conference Elite with an All-Star trio of Pierce, Allen and Garnett. Continue Reading

Isiah and Ainge finally made some moves that help their teams. Hear me out before you start comment spamming me:
The Knicks moved Steve Francis and Channing Frye for Zach Randolph and a couple rejects. At first glance, it looks like Isiah may have mortgaged the future, for another head case; but if you look a bit closer, you will see he made the right decision. Continue Reading
