The Celtics Disaster Friday's game against the Boston Celtics was not pretty. The team did not play well together. Maybe it was due to the trade, but none the less, the showing was ugly. Camby had only one practice with the team prior to the game which showed as he finished with 2 pts and 7 rebounds in 29 minutes. I don't think I expected much with his first game, but the loss made it sting a bit more. Brandon Roy also had an off game. He played 34 minutes and finished with 9 pts. Realizing that this is only his 2nd game since January, he really needs to pull himself out of thi...Read More

Camby is averging 7.7 pts and 12.1 rebounds a game and has played with both Andre Miller and Juwan Howard which is a nice bonus. The Blazers will ne...Read More
