4 minutes so far.

6:16   Vander Blue enters the game for Phil Pressey
5:03   Vander Blue defensive rebound
5:00   Vander Blue makes 7-foot two point shot
4:35   Vander Blue lost ball turnover (John Wall steals)
4:28   Vander Blue defensive rebound
4:22   Jeff Green makes two point shot (Vander Blue assists)
3:18   Vander Blue misses free throw 1 of 2
3:18   Vander Blue misses free throw 2 of 2
2:58   Vander Blue misses 20-foot jumper
2:41   Vander Blue steps out of bounds turnover
2:02   Gerald Wallace enters the game for Vander Blue

Glad it's official! :)

Another MUer in the NBA.


Looks like he needs an entry: http://www.basketball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?pid=&search=vander

;)

Given the Celtics injury problems, let's hope he plays every game and earns a second 10 day.  My recollection is that a player is limited to 2 ten day contract before a team needs to sign him for the rest of the year.

Raptors turned out to be a very poor match for Novak. I don't watch their games, so I don't know why this is the case, but he needs to go to a team that values his very unique (and extremely limited) skill set. It's silly to pay somebody so much to sit on the bench when there are teams he definitely could help.

I wish they had interest, because I think Houston could be very effective in using Novak. Smart team with good game planning and love to shoot the 3.

What an incredibly slopping game from a ball handling standpoint.  Ugh.  Glad Vander made it and pray he sticks!  Go Vander!

Vander's interview skills have improved 1,000% since the last time I saw him on camera.  He obviously has been working very hard on that.

For those hoping to see Vander play, the Celtics play on ESPN at 5:30 central time tonight. Hopefully he doesn't choke on national TV like Marquette usually does.

No big deal. NBA and college basketball didn't rate very high in this poll so not many people will take note anyways. NBA was 5th most popular sport, edging out Nascar. College bball came in 7th place, edging out golf.

It's amazing how bad college bball is with the exception of March Madness. So few people care.

Also Wednesday, the Celtics traded backup point guard Jordan Crawford along with shooting guard MarShon Brooks to Golden State on Wednesday as part of a three-team trade that brought Joel Anthony from Miami to Boston.

Maybe good for Vander going forward, I know Rondo is back too

We had this discussion months ago in the football concussions thread.  Basketball is a gnat on an elephant's arse.  It isn't close to football....nor is anything else.  Not even in the most remote conditions right now.  Pure domination.

Football going nowhere anytime soon

33-27 with 2 minutes to go in 2nd qtr of C's-Brooklyn.  Watching this horrible bball game in hopes that Vander gets some run but unfortunately no PT yet.  Man, the Eastern conference is bad.

Vander should be getting more minutes on this dog of a team. Maybe the Celts will draft Derrick to push Rondo.

Clearly Brad Stevens is stubborn and only giving minutes to those who work hard in practice.

Auto Racing, not Nascar (big difference), was 4th edging out the NBA by 1 percentage point.

Avery Bradley is expected to be back on Sunday. That makes me think that it's unlikely for Blue to be extended, so to speak. I have no insider info or anything though and I hope I'm wrong.
